I'm not familiar with Malifaux, what's it like?

That's a good idea. Lots of people start slowly and build an awesome army over time. I would definitely suggest buying the StD battletome, comes with all the rules and lore for your army.

Re: Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

So Malifaux is a bit hard to explain... It is like, steam punk mixed with demons, Chinese mobsters, Bayou Gremlins and magic and it's a tabletop miniatures game not unlike Warhammer except you use a deck of cards instead of rolling dice. You flip dice as damage modifiers or skill modifiers and if you draw the black joker, your turn is effed and the red joker pretty much means success no matter what. The armies are a lot smaller than 40k but bigger than kill team and as sick as the sculpts are they are infamous for being hard to assemble and paint.

Malifaux sounds cool. I like the deck of cards element. That's too bad about the minis. Are they plastic or resin models? Games workshop still has some resin models in their older factions, and they can be a real pain to glue.

Re: Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

They are plastic, it isn't so much the glue sticking as one smaller miniature might have a dozen tiny pieces to cut out of the sprue, at least for second addition. It always felt like it was more complicated than it needed to be. Third edition is out now and I haven't messed with it at all but I want to do the Raputina crew again eventually.

Ohh how unfortunate. That sounds extremely annoying. GW models can be annoying to assemble but more so to do with needing to glue pieces to multiple places rather then tiny pieces.

Re: Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

Yeah the only ones from GW I have worked with are the ones from the Kill Team starter box and those all just snap together.

Ya the clip in models are a breeze. The regular plastic kits are well made don't get me wrong, I much prefer plastic to resin models.

Re: Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

Why is that? I haven't used resin models but I will when I start 3D printing.

So GW's "finecast" models are made of plastic resin. Finecast is notorious for being crap because of how soft or brittle It can be, all the extra crap from the molding that needs to be removed, and how poor the casting can be. Sometimes it even has a hard time gluing. Plastic is 1000 times better.

This is however specifically referring to finecast resin used by GW. I've been told that other resin models from different miniatures companies are wayyyyy better than finecast. Luckily GW is almost all plastic kits now, except for some old kits.

Re: Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

Oh that's a shame, at least it's gotten better though, GW is too good of a company for that. I'll have to look more closely into the resin I buy for printing thought as I didn't realize that could be an issue.

Ya thankfully most of GW's models now are plastic. I love the plastic kits. Look into it, but don't stress I've heard of good quality 3d printed resin models.
