Necromancer120 brought his newly arrived copy of Freebooter’s Fate to the local game store Wednesday. While I didn’t sit down with the book and read it, I scanned through it. It seems to be laid out very nicely. The photography is sharp and the artwork is top notch. Many of the images feature the amazing terrain and painted models.
Necromancer120 also brought his Brotherhood models. I was not surprised by the quality of the models. It is to be expected from just about anything that Werner Klocke sculpts. What is surprising is that each faction has their own look. Further, no two bases are the same. The Pirates have planking, based on the images on the site and book. I am glad to see it.
The playing cards are made of a hearty stock and should hold up to play well. Same with the stat cards. I am looking forward to my starter deal coming in after seeing the Brotherhood models and can’t wait to give the game a run through.
Perhaps it is time to build a port/wharf board to play on… Below is an image of the models that are coming in the Pirate starter deal
Avast!
She has a peg leg!
Cuchillo means knife or blade
Alright, I have made the plunge into Freebooters Fate. I will be heading up the Pirate faction. I know, big surprise. The book, cards, and minis should be heading out soon enough.

I finally broke down and bought into Malifaux. Neverborn called my name I and heeded the siren’s call. Lilith and her demon spawn will be championing my fight. However, aside from a demo or two (or 5), I will not play this game with unpainted models. I bought in with the starter box and rewarded my breakdown of willpower with the Cherub. That evil looking bastard was just the thing that I needed to push me over the edge. Such a nice little model.
First thing I am doing is working on Lilith herself. For the mother of demons, she has way too many clothes. The division between her bosom and her bustier is out in the open enough to file down and fill with a bit of greenstuff. This should make it look like she is topless except for the chain that attach to the nipple area. I think that for such a naturally lascivious mother of demons, she should look more alluring to the common male urge.
Expect WIP images later on Lilith. I got her primed during the weekend.
