Tabletop setup for Malifaux ... PICTURE HEAVY

[Frustrated Father]

Alrighty, so quite a few of you have heard how Eric (Moav) has been busy on a large project, working on this or that that has taken up a lot of his time (and it was a lot of time). Well, I'm going to share with you just what one of our favorite french fellas has been working on.

At GenCon, we'll be demoing Malifaux (I say we, but mainly its going to be Eric and some other volunteers) and I wanted something visually appealing, eye catching and fun ... naturally I want it to drag folks in as well.

To that end, Eric has done the main work in putting together the structures and the overall look of the tabletop and has sent it off to me (which I received and was quite pleased with) and have since then handed off yesterday to another terrain maker here who is going to build the table, terrain and do all the final and finishing touches on it.

I think its going to look really neat.

Anyhow, here are some photos for ya'll, care of Eric (Moav).

Thanks a lot Nathan, I really appreciate and as I said in PMs I am glad you like it. I hope you will have a great success at GenCon.

Nathan, don't forget to send me photos of the finished tabletop.

To IP painters : now you understand why I was really busy during IP contest.

[Wren]

That is very cool! I look forward to seeing this in person at Gen Con!

[demonherald]

yep this rocks Eric.. great work...

[St. Anger]

Eric did an awesome job on that!!! Great detail! I love the church.

[Bexley]

Nice job! Seeing them now, I'm kinda bummed I won't get the chance to do the groundwork for them.

[Keltheos]

That looks AWESOME!

Can't wait to see it at Indy.

Nice use of the vulture on the town sign!

Thanks to all of you.

I was supposed to build the groundwork too but I couldn't because of shipping conditions : it would have been too large to ship and Nathan and I didn't want to cut the tabletop in "tiles".

[Skya]

That rocks.

[Bexley]

I know what you mean about shipping- there's a Mutant Chronicles terrain board floating around from show to show in Europe that will never come back to the US because of shipping prices.

Shipping prices but size too. In France we are limited to one meter by one meter and the board is supposed to be 1.20 meter (4 feet).

It's just so incredible moa. I'm going to put one of my minis on your board at Gencon holding a sign that says "redstripe was here!"

Just in credible work, Eric. My hats off to you.

Yep- the only way we could do it would be to put it on a skid and ship it by boat as bulk freight. That's how it got there, actually- it went along with several skids of product for Essen last year. FF and I had briefly talked about building the table, and I would ship it to him from Minnesota, but the deadline was too close for him to do it anything but locally, as he needed it to get to him well before GenCon. It's a shame, because I'd have really loved to have done it, especially now that I've seen what you've made.

[Hinton]

As I said before, it's absolutely stunning and it's going to be a real head-turner at GenCon. I want to see pictures of people demo'ing the game, damn it! Somebody had better be taking pictures!

Excellent work, Moa.

[Dr.Mercury]

That is some awesome stuff right there!!!
I look forward to seeing it in person, and getting a demo on it!!

[Duzzdan]

Awesome work! Can't wait to see it in person.

[Rorik36]

Wow. What a fantastic job.

[Brushmistress]

Now I'm even sadder about not attending GenCon - that's a great table Moa- can't wait to see the whole thing (groundwork and all)!

[Peterdita]

Did anyone else notice the frustrated father tree in the back? Thats Hilarious!!! Awesome work! Wish I could see it in person...

i remember reading in the 1st E-zine there was cryptic scrawling on the buildings, will there be any?

[Frustrated Father]

The demo table doesn't represent every facet of Malifaux in the least, just a portion of it that we've done up for demoing - this time about you won't find any cryptic scrawling.

Table is done I understand, going to go in tomorrow and take a look at it and give the big ol' approval and see how the heck I'm going to bring it home. Should be interesting.

I'll take pictures and post it sometime this week.

[jwatto1]

Still a fabulous job and i really admire the style of the building i still give it a 10 out of 10

[Frustrated Father]

Just got back from overlooking the finished work on the terrain/demo table. Changed up a few things, added a lot, and the end result looks absolutely fantastic. We'll try and get pictures up of the finished product before we bring it to GenCon next week.
