Brutal Emissary (Guild)

I was reluctant to get this model. It is beautiful but I wasn't sure I wanted something so "fantastical" in my Guild crews. Luckily I smartened up.

I was happy with my choices on colors. The bone is darker than I normally paint bone but it tied well with the other browns. Painting the man in the cage first before assembling the cage was a no-brainer good move.

He is an almost auto-include in my Sonnia lists to get the burning she needs to maximize her damage.

The good Dr. Grimwell for Malifaux. The star on the Guild side of the starter box. He is a Witch Hunter which gives him a nice synergy with Sonnia. The sculpt is a tad cartoony with the grin and the exaggerated folds. He was easy to paint and helped me work on getting better at painting white. I often see him with a lot of blood and splatter. I've learned that less is more with blood. It is tempting to go overboard but you'll find the blood stands out and has more of a visual impact if you are judicious with it. I went red on the shirt and goggle lens to help make the blood stand out even more. On the table he deals the damage but is somewhat easy to kill. I like his Research Grant upgrade - he will be killing anyway so why not get a stone when he does. The hard part is remembering to collect the soul stone once you make the kill. He also has a nice movement trick which can be useful in a Sonnia crew to get the most out of her AP. ...
