Malifaux – The Guild Grows…

Looking back over my posts about Malifaux, it seems I have a small flurry of posts each year. Two years ago I covered the painting of my Lucas McCabe crew. Last year I chronicled my introduction to the game itself. This year, it's more toy soldiers : )

My gaming group has recently started playing Malifaux again, so I figured it was a good chance to try a new crew and paint up some more models. I have a fondness for all of the different Guild crews and I like the idea that I can keep expanding my collection and will, in years to come, be able to pick and choose from a large pool of minis.

It was a toss up between Sonnia Criid and Lady Justice, but I felt the Death Marshals would take a bit longer to paint up when hobby time is at a premium. The Witching Stalkers are very cool little models too - this helped sway me.

Here is my Sonnia Criid, flanked by Samuel Hopkins and the Perpetual Flame. I decided to go for magical blue flame on both Sonnia's sword and her totem, rather than the standard orange fire. This way I'll be ablate match them to the Death Marshals when I get to them (probably next year).


I really like my wooden plank bases and figured that a creature like the Perpetual Flame would create some charring damage. Over the top of the wood I sculpted some charred wood texture with greenstuff, then painted it up to look the part. Over the top of the grey edges I lightly drybrushed some Blue Green to simulate some OSL.


The very cool Witching Stalkers. I love the poses, the swords, the robes, all of it : )


And because I love to push around more than the average amount of models, I added these two Guild Guards to the crew. These two are perfect for dropping Scheme markers and getting in the way or slowing down enemy models.
