These models are brilliant in Malifaux, and if I’m going to play Ressers I’m going to need to have access to one or two. Angry Andrew was getting rid of his Malifaux, so I bought an old metal Seamus and metal Nicodem box from him for $5. I took 2 of the 3 Belles (because the 3rd one is hideous) which I liked the models for, and gave the rest away.
You can see I’m trying to solve my complaint about manufacturer bases here. I sculpted these based on the Secret Weapon bases I’m using on my Ressers and am hoping it looks similar enough. I used the standard milliput here, and I’m going to need to buy more of that stuff considering how much I’m using it. After it dried, I used the Vallejo Oxid Paste to create sand/dirt piles, as in the original bases.
I think that making my own bases made me love these older metals more. Instead of just gluing them together and saying “hey, they are filler”, now they have something custom on them, which makes me feel more ownership to them.
