Forgeworld Imperial Enforcer

I've never been one of those gamers who has that collecting-gene where if something is "rare" or "limited" I feel the need to acquire it.  Having said that I am one of those gamers that gets disappointed when a cool "limited" piece is released for an army I actually play and I can't get my paws on it.

A couple of years ago Forgeworld did an event exclusive figure of an Imperial Enforcer with a cyber-Mastiff.  This was doubly frustrating for me because not only would I not be at any of the events the figure would be available at but to boot it was for an army that had so few different figures in it.

Luckily for me my friend Jordan came to the rescue and picked me up one of these AWESOME figures at an event he attended.  Thanks again Jordan and let us never speak of how long it took me to get paint on this figure.

So pre-amble aside I decided to paint this guy to match my existing Arbites/Enforcer models.  I'm happy with that choice because it means I'll actually use him in some games but I do have some slight (only slight) regrets given that he's a pretty spectacular piece and the lack of contrast I use on my Arbites models means he doesn't 'pop' like something coloured differently.

Depending on what army list I'm using he'll probably be some sort of HQ model.  I also got the chance to use the new 32mm Games Workshop imperial/urban bases that I'll be using on all my Arbites going forward.

If any of you have an suggestions for good unofficial army lists or models that you think would work with an Arbites army please share your thoughts in the comments section.  I feel like I've been painting the same models for this army for 20ish years.

Dogs!

Today's post is a bit of a mish-mash.  I was painting one model because I can use it for some games I will be playing/prepping for this week, the other model I have had for a while and I will be using it in the weeks and months to come so I thought I would do them both  at once.

First up is Luna.  Luna is another model from the McCabe crew and because she is McCabe's totem I won't be able to use her as-is with McMourning but I may use her as a Guild Hound.  I'm also beginning prep for a Through The Breach game and a fairly generic looking dog seems like it would be useful for that.

Next up is a Forgeworld Cyber-Mastiff.  A while back my friend Jordan got me the Forgeworld Arbites Judge and he came with a cool (and very different looking) Cyber-Mastiff.  I'll be dusting off my Arbites for the Shield Of Baal campaign so this seemed like a good time to get off my butt and get these done.  One of the things that's really cool about this Cyber-Mastiff that unfortunately doesn't photography very well is that when you look at the back it actually looks like somebody peeled a dog and then re-wrapped the peeled dog around a robot-dog.

More Malifaux on the way in the next couple of days!
