4-Player Story Encounter markers

There are story Encounters that use the four suits in their set-up and the players Scenario.
Below is an image of such a game's set-up where we had to deploy four 30mm markers representing the four suits onto the table  and the players later pulled aces or jokers to see which one of the markers was their target.  If you pulled an ace, your goal was to Interact with that particular marker and then hold onto it for the rest of the game for 3 VP.  You could get another VP for grabbing one of the other Markers.  Joker meant you could grab any marker, but each one was only worth 2 VP.   Max for Scenario was 4 VP, so Schemes were still important and even more important for the player with the Joker.

Deployment from Bird's-eye view.

 
 

The silver rounds on top of the 30 mm markers have 1 of the 4 suits written on them.
 Each marker was placed on the table by a player prior to drawing their Scenario win-condition.  Most placed the Markers mid-table.  The silver rounds are Fantasy Flight plastic tokens I bought on sale and they are pretty great for writing on with a dry-erase marker, but they do stand out and I am always looking to replace them with more thematic tokens when I can.

I found some cake toppers that I am in the process of staining and dinging-up to replace a the silver tokens for these Scenarios.

I am liking how they are turning out thus far:


FYI

It has been so long since the game, I do not have a Battle report, but here are the participants seen in the set-up.

Top Left:  Ten Thunders' Kang and 3 Rail Workers
Top Right:  Arcanists' Snowstorm, 2 Ice Gamin, and December Acolyte
Bottom Left:  Guild's Sadhir and 3 Westrels
Bottom Right:  Resser Valedictorian, 2 Rotten Belles, and Effigy

Guild left the game on the 3rd turn and the game ended with Arcanists and Ressers tied.
Ten Thunders could have actually won the game, but the player dedicated the crew to attacking other than following their Schemes and Scenario (I believe they pulled the Joker which meant they could get 2 VP for grabbing any of the markers).  Combat is a means to an end in this game rather than the sole purpose of the crew which I love about Malifaux.  
 

New Resurrectionists

McMourning's box, Body of Evidence, was my most recent purchase in the world of Malifaux and my second encounter with Wyrd's new plastic miniatures.  I had purchased the Story Encounter box , University of Transmortis a while back when it was 50% off, but I never got around to assembling the Students.  I had originally purchased the box because it was supposed to have Solo Play as one of the potential encounters, but the hope was much better than the reality because on paper, it seemed very lackluster.  Charlotte is very sparse when it comes to miniatures outside of 40k and Warmachine and Malifaux was forgotten after the transition to 1.5.  Now that there is some hint of a revival with 2nd edition and a new game store is supporting interest with Malifaux. Battleground Games in North Charlotte has created Miniatures Monday which allows a place for lesser-played games like Malifaux, X-wing, Kings of War, Infinity, Mordheim, Dreadball, and whatever else you want to play a chance to shake the dust off - it seemed a good time to assemble all my Malifaux plastic.

I got it done, but it took me all weekend to do it.
There are so many tiny pieces!!!!
It is not like it is difficult; I think anyone can assemble them, but there are numerous small pieces that need time to set after joining.   You can't glue the limbs all at once and I am not really interested in using glue additives to make them join faster or use contact cement.  Also, if the pieces are large enough, I suggest pinning everything you can.  There were some hands and feet where it is impossible, but each piece probably has 3-5 pins in them.  After priming them, I am glad I did.  I brush on primer rather than use a spray can.  I get better results brushing and I can tint the white primer however I like.

Anyways, here is a Resser Family photo:

L to R: McMourning; Zombie Chihuahua, JoJo; Nurse Jenny, Nurse Jenni; Canine Remain, Daisy; Sebastian

All together!   29 SS in front, 32 SS in back.
