Unboxing Malifaux - Fuhatsu

Designing a gun that's so powerful that not only do you need a giant to carry it but you also need a couple of friends to prop him up might be seen as a design flaw...but not if you're the Ten Thunders apparently...

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

The box has one sprue in it as well as the aforementioned cards...

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 by clicking on them. Wyrd Miniatures also seem to have stopped putting instructions in things and instead give you a leaflet with a web address on it that leads to a number of links.

I've put them here so you don't need to. Just click on it for a larger version...

Stat Card.

Assembled.

It's not as bad as you might expect. There are very few tiny parts and most of them are quite obvious in their location. The 'helpers' have location points on Fuhatsu's main body so you know where to put them. In this picture I've slightly altered the angle of the centre figure so when I add basing material his feet don't disappear into it...of course this became irrelevant when I decided to use a base insert instead...

Here's some close-ups...

Steam Gatling Gun.
It's actually possible to put the gun into the body insert upside down so remember that the cables are at the bottom. The end piece can also quite easily be put on upside down ..or sideways for that matter...

Fuhatsu's Helpers.
There's a recess in Fuhatsu's lower back and two indentations in his upper back for you to locate the 'helpers' correctly though there's a bit of leeway should you have something scenic in mind for the base that requires them to be standing higher or lower...not much though...

Upper Torso.
The shoulder pads just sort of balance on to flat portions on the shoulders. You can also see where the gun slots into the body in this picture.

Mine will be going on a Wyrd Miniatures 'Asian Zen' base without the extra bits that comes with the aforementioned base. This alters the angle of the gun a little but if anything I prefer it this way...

Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.
