Maledrakh's Malifaux Hog Wild Crew

[Maledrakh]

 

The Hog Wild Crew from the game Malifaux by Wyrd Games.

 

Warning: I don’t play Malifaux, but I do love these minis. Apologies in advance about any in-game mistakes I might make here.

These are the entire contents of the boxed set called “Hog Wild”. HIPS plastic miniatures, many pretty small parts and a bit fiddly, especially the bonus gremlin (to the left) that was included in the box. Even so, lovely minis with a great sense of both personality and movement.

 

 

 

The Hog is called “Old Major” but I have done him up as the tyrant Napoleon from the Animal Farm animated film (1954) which is a film everybody should watch (or read the book by George Orwell).
“Old Major”, incidentially, is also the name of the old hog who starts off Animal Farm by holding an inspirational speech shortly before he dies, a speech that inspires the revolt on the farm and the rise to power of Napoleon. But I found this model to be much more Napoleonesque than the wise Old Major…as some animals are more equal than others.

 

 

 

 

Ulix is the Leprechaun-like beardo with the top hat, and as far as I can tell, the leader of the crew.

 

 

 

Penelope the hound helps keep the rest in line. I did this one similar to a dog a friend of mine had many years ago.

 

 

 

The three little pigs huge boars. Excellent models with heaps of animation and personality!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Imagine one of these barreling out of the undergrowth, charging straight at your little, unprotected hunting party…

 

 

 

 

 

And the bonus bayou gremlin, and extra included in the box with a sticker on the outside.

I don't play Malifaux either, but I love the gremlins.

 

Splendid work!

[Glitterwolf]

Love it all, great boars

 

I also loooovvveee that dog!

[CorallineAlgae]

Inspiring work! Everything is painted up and based beautifully. The pig and dog look especially nice. Gotta say, I live a block and a half over from Bayou Courtableau but I never saw a goblin there. I feel cheated. 

[Chaoswolf]

Very cool!

[Clearman]

Great work.

 

There's something about Malifaux models that always creeps me out, but I'm sure that's intentional.  You really brought it out with these.

These are very cool. I really like the bayou gremlin...now I feel like a ham sandwich
