Malifaux - Samantha Thrace

04.26.2025

This week, a bevy of little posts covering what I've (finally) finished painting for the first third of the year, starting with a single mini from Malifaux of Samantha Thrace.

I've never played Malifaux and I never will. I've gotten a few minis from the game over the year as they always have an interesting look, and sometimes look like they might fit into some type of game I might play. Samantha here doesn't fall into that latter category. This was just a mini I came across that looked like it would be fun to paint. That's a Miniature Market category for me that equates to adding to my wishlist and see if it ever goes on sale/I need filler to reach free shipping. Samantha decided to go on sale at some point.

While I really like the colors on the box art, I wanted to try a different direction and test out some purple for an upcoming Prince mini I'll get around to painting. Like most times I try to hit a large area with contrast paint, there was more pooling that I wished for on the top of the long coat. Overall this is on my my middle-of-the-road quality paintjobs. Ok for the table top, nothing really messed up, but also nothing noteworthy to brag about. Except some of the base - I had fun adding some Citadel grime to the metal grate on that one.

Next time on minis from games I'll never play: Cyberpunk Red Zone.
