Malifaux : The Hanged

For my first Malifaux figures i started with the hanged box. Constructing the plastic figures was not too complicated  although some of the pieces are very delicate, especially the rope, and needed to be removed from the sprue with some care.
The theme of my Crew was to be a victorian lunatic Asylum and I felt the The Hanged on their own did not quite fit in. Deciding on bed sheets rather than rope i constructed them using twisted tissue paper around a wire frame soaked in Superglue. This allowed me to retain a nice material feel and the twisted shape. The tissue absorbs the glue and sets hard.

Over all I am pleased with how they have turned out, though as I might go back and add a small card to each of them  as a dead tag/number. These figures are also a first for me in terms of painting style and using layers and blended paints rather than just out of the pot.

With my interest in all things steampunk, gothic and weird the world of Malifaux has been an interesting discovery. With all my other plans (large army and small)  i like the idea of just a small skirmish band. After much thought, there are so many factions and Crews that appeal, I have decided to start off with the Ressurectionists and a McMourning Crew.

The mad scientist theme is certainly a fun one and gives lots of potential for conversions. For the style of the Crew I want to go for quite muted colours, faded whites and browns with films like Silent Hill and House on Haunted Hill as inspiration.
