Spring Cleaning Challenge: Malifaux Neverborn

Choosing a Crew in Malifaux was easy for me! There seems to be a bit for everybody when it comes to Malifaux. Although I was drawn to the Arcanists, the Neverborn really did catch my eye.

So over the time I have been ogling at Malifaux minis, I got myself clued up on the lore by reading the Neverborn Faction book.

Originally, I purchased the Titania Core box to start my Malifaux adventures in, and started to look at different ways I could build a crew! After seeking lots of advice from what I call my Malifaux Yoda, I was starting to gauge how I could build a crew (not just go by who looks so fecking cool – but… that still has a factor!).

What I wanted to pair Titania with was the Waldgeists.

Now when I first started to dip my toes through the breach, these lil tree guys were impossible to get my mitts on! As they were 2E minis, and they were all currently being reworked for 3E.

And what did I do, the second the Zoirida Core Box went on pre-order, that puppy was mine and I could finally start to build!

Included in this Core Box, you get your Bad Juju, Zoraida, Voodoo Doll & x3 Waldgeists. Can you guess which ones I was desperate to get cracking on first?

You’d guessed it, the Waldgeists. What fascinates me about these miniatures is that when you see pictures – or even when they are painted up – they never look as tiny as they do when they are in your hands!

So taking advice from a fellow hobbyist, to prepare myself for full fantasy paintwork, I decided to put the Lord of the Rings Return of the King Extended Edition on (again… for the millionth time this year), to gain some inspiration from my favourite Ent, Treebeard.

I cut my Waldgeists out with a pair of side cutters which I got from The Army Painter Hobby Tool Kit, enjoyed Middle Earth and prepared all the individual parts ready for a file-down!
