Unboxing Malifaux - Lucky Effigy

Do you feel lucky?...Well do you...Punk...

The Lucky Effigy box contains enough parts for one miniature...namely the Lucky Effigy. It also contains a stat card for him though there are no upgrade cards.

Lucky Effigy - Sprue
The box has one sprue in it as well as the aforementioned card. Here's pictures of both sides of it...

Lucky Effigy - Stat Card
Wyrd Games didn't like my publishing pictures of both sides of the stat cards so you'll have to make do with this...

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.

Lucky Effigy - Instructions
There should totally be instructions somewhere...however I can't find them so you'll have to make do with my assembled pictures for now...

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.

Lucky Effigy- Assembled
The majority of this model is made up of two parts and you'll be happy to note that those tiny ornaments dangling from his cloak aren't separate parts. His feet and the front section of the neckerchief however are separate though only the feet are small enough to cause you any problems so be careful with them. It's also worth being careful how you handle the model as despite being part of the it those dangling pieces are still quite delicate.

Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.

Sunday Round-up

Another relatively productive week for the blog...though there are some who may disagree...


The last of the Malifaux unboxings in the form of 'Miss Anne Thrope' I had to do got done which pretty much bought me up to date...well...up to date until I popped into my FLGS Titan Games and some new releases had arrived at least. So those will probably appear over the next week or so.

I also did an initial unboxing of the Steampunk Rally board game that will hopefully get a review when I get a week off work in a fortnight or so.


Those of you patiently waiting for part two of our last RPG session in Privateer Press's Iron Kingdoms will be happy to know that it can be found right here. The four Malifaux items that will be getting unboxing features over the next week are the following.


There have also been quite a few newsletters appearing over the last week that can handily be found in the blogs sidebar on the right. Links to older newsletters can be found in the archive here. In honour of Halloween my partner painted up my original metal and new plastic Wyrd Games 'Carver' models. Some extra pictures of those can be found right about here.


Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.

Kings of War: Uncharted Empires

The heat shimmer that ripples above the parched earth does little to mask the horrors that lie assembled before you. You must focus on the task ahead. No plan survives contact with the enemy and the army you face is a howling, ravening horde of death that will test you to the limit. Today will be recorded in history but only one side will write it. Do you have the skill and courage to ensure it is you? Go. The time for war is now!
Kings of War: Uncharted Empires is an army supplement book that explores nine never-before-seen factions in Mantica, each with their own history and background.

Each of these armies has a dedicated Force List that allows you to play this army in Kings of War, should you have suitable miniatures to represent a force.

The book features nine Force Lists, including:
  • Ratkin (Evil former slave race)
  • The Empire of Dust (Evil skeleton army, ancient Empire and ancestors of the Ophidians)
  • Salamanders Armies (Good army of reptilians and others)
  • The Herd (Neutral beastman army of satyrs, centaurs, minotaurs etc.)
  • The Varangur ( Evil humans worshipping an ancient deity)
  • And more!
If you are new to Kings of War, the Armies of Mantica Collection contains all the rules, background and 20 Force Lists, saving you over £10 on purchasing them separately.

Kings of War: Uncharted Empires is also available to pre-order as a standalone book and begins shipping late November.
