Unboxing Malifaux - Carrion Emissary

"Rot or Rend?..Why not both?"

The Carrion Emissary box contains enough parts for one miniature...namely the Carrion Emissary. It also contains a stat card for him and several upgrade cards.

Carrion Emissary - Sprue
The box has one sprue in it as well as the aforementioned cards. Here's pictures of both sides of it...

Carrion Emissary - Stat and Upgrade Cards
Wyrd Games didn't like my publishing pictures of both sides of the stat cards so you'll have to make do with this...and the upgrade cards...which only have one side anyway...


Should there be any assembly issues with the model then they will be listed in the appropriate section and you can view larger versions of the smaller pictures or instruction pictures by clicking on them.

Carrion Emissary - Instructions

Some General Notes on Assembly.
Many of these models contain quite small parts so depending on how dexterous you are you might consider getting yourself some tweezers. Dry-fitting is also always a good idea in case a part needs a tiny bit of extra filing or filling as some of the fits are quite tight. Where the parts on the sprue are quite thin (chains, weapon shafts, cables and the like) then it might be better to remove parts with a sharp scalpel rather than cutters.

Carrion Emissary - Assembled
The lower part of the body is in two halves as is the upper body. The Scythe is slightly in the way of the curved extra cloak piece (with the syringes on it) and the separate hacksaw so you may want to attach these before adding the upper body though you can still get to them if the upper body is already on...it's just easier without. 

You should put the (assembled) head in-between the upper body sections before gluing the body as the attaching piece is slightly angled and is a tight fit otherwise. Failing that you can also just cut off the tab and glue the head onto the neck directly. 

The three part skull is a tiny bit fiddly to put together and the tiny 'wires' that align with the hand are easier to attach if you haven't put the wings on first as the right one does get in the way a bit.





Carrion Emissary - Comparison Picture and Rotating View
Here's a couple of comparison pictures between the Carrion Emissary and the Carrion Effigies as well as a rotating view.

Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.

Licensee Focus: Stygian Fox

 

 A licensed sourcebook for Cthulhu by Gaslight, 
detailing a ready-made anti-Cthulhu Mythos Victorian organisation.

 
Taking its inspirational cues from Sherlock HolmesRipper StreetAuguste DupinThe Suspicions of Mr. Whicher, and The Incendiary's Trail, our friends Stygian Fox's are bringing out a licensed sourcebook for Cthulhu by GaslightHudson and Brand takes a mature look at the horror of Mythos machinations and the many dark corners in the seat of empire.

Investigators get a ready made base from which to operate; the offices of the inquiry agents Hudson & Brand (missing, presumed dead). Inside there's plans of the lodgings and office, case notes, NPCs, pregenerated characters, maps, and an adventure into the dark underbelly of London! God Save The Queen!

Stygian Fox set a high benchmark with their previous Kickstarter, Things We Leave Behind; this most recent project and this promises to reach that bar too. TheKickstarter funded in 5 hours and still has a month to go! Find out more about it here:

Licensee Focus: Weird 8 

 

A 1920s horror Call of Cthulhu RPG scenario set in New England with ancient magics, unbridled ambition & a new take on an old god. 

With just over a week to go, our newest licensee Weird 8's Sun Spots Kickstarterpassed a major milestone at $10K, meaning the scenario now comes with 1920s-style visitor's guide handout.
Sun Spots was originally going to be a project for the late Keith Herber, Chaosium's celebrated Call of Cthulhu line editor. Dave Sokolowski is going all out to make this something 'Doc' would have been proud of. It's definitely worth checking out:

What is Ab Chaos?
(...from Ab Chaos #7, May 31 1992)

Ab - Latin "from"
Chaos - (1) Any condition or place of total disorder (modern vernacular); (2) the disordered state of unformed matter which preceded creation (since Milton, Paradise Lost); (3) the dark, empty space which preceded creation (Greek Mythology); (4) the [formerly] Californian roleplaying game company.

Ab Chaos is an informal newsletter for Chaosium fans. Through our history we have tried to serve the players and gamemasters through craft and art as well as (and sometimes at the expense of) marketing and moneymaking. We appreciate your loyalty, and offer this communication to those who are curious about us, beyond the mere "product".

It is planned to be informal and irregular. We are, after all, not the Orderium.
