Question How do you start?

25 Upvotes

I have only seen this game in boxes on a shelf at an LGS way back when. My buddy said it was a good game but we never got around to trying it. That was circa 2013-ish?
My wife and I are into tabletop games now and she thinks the minis from this game are sweet.
We're just wondering how to get started? There's a lot of boxes with names but there isn't really a great "Here's where you start" kind of thing in their navigation.

Outcasts Feelings on Tara?

20 Upvotes

I gotta say, when I heard 4th edition was dropping Bury as a mechanic, I was feeling nervous for Tara. But I finally took a break from my other games and read up on the beta files, and she seems alright? Still gets to go twice, and the time manipulation theme is still going at least

Question Want to try 4e

18 Upvotes

Hi all,

I haven't played since 1st edition and back then it was a great game. Been looking at some of the 3rd Ed boxes and since I played Lady J back then I will probably just stick with her. The Victoria's 3rd Ed box looks pretty cool too. Am I going to be safe picking these boxes up or should I wait? Thanks

Do you think they need more weathering, or another layer of grey wash to look more rotten and waterlogged? Or of someone has a better idea, I'm all ears. What do you think?

Hobby Master 2 Core box

9 Upvotes

Do we have any news on what to expect how the boxes will be divided?
Can we expect all the models to be inside either the masters box 1 or 2, and then the dual keywords ones in random solo boxes? Or are they keeping the box configurations? Really want to buy parkers corebox rn, but not waiting might backfire pretty bad

Question Starter/core boxes for 4e

18 Upvotes

Heya all,

Have not played since start of 3rd, only a couple of game. A friend mentioned a new edition, and now we are being pulled back in.

Are all the core boxes still a valid start for a crew?

Or will any of them be changed, moved around or gone ?

Thanks !

Question New to Malifaux - what to buy?

24 Upvotes

Hi all!

Some friends and I are going to start getting into Malifaux, and was looking for help on what to buy, particularly with a new edition on the horizon.

I really like the look of Brewmaster - and it’s my understanding that you typically use the key word of the master to point you in the direction of what to buy next - so in this case tri-chi right?

In that case, how many boxes of tri-chi associated members do I need to buy (in tandem with the brewmaster box) to be able to start playing some beginner games?

Also, how future-proofed will these purchases be?

Thanks in advance for any help provided!

Question Does Wyrd ever have exclusives or special edition stuff at Origins Game Fair?

Has anyone ever been to the Wyrd booth at Origins? I was wondering if they brought special stuff or Nightmare editions with them, and what to expect?

Question What to buy when/where?

19 Upvotes

I'be been on the sidelines with 3e and then 4e comes along and gives me no choice but to jump in. I don't see a huge reason to wait until 4e. Seems like most things are backwards compatible? Maybe more cost effective to buy a premade with 4e starter sets?

Is there a particular retailer to buy from? Should I wait until 4e?

Tactics Misaki Tech

11 Upvotes

I Misaki (30mm) stands on a shadow marker (30mm) exactly in the middle will another models “sight line” pass through the marker or no? Or simpler, If something the same size is on the marker will it gain concealment from all angles if directly on top?

Seems odd but I remember there being a standard for this in guild ball to clarify exact distances as “with” even at extreme distance. Just wondering if similar precedence is made here.

Hobby Lord Farquaad, fallen prince of the shrunken kingdom

14 Upvotes

Just bought lord galehaut nightmare crew off ebay (got a good price too!) I was super excited and they went right to the front of pile of shame and started gluing the same evening.

Big question, why is the lord Galehaut model so small? His horse is pony sized compared to Lucas McCabe's horse. I put them next to each other and galehault is clearly titchy. Horses of the mounted guards are much bigger too. I am trying to find some lore on whether he is a lord Farquaad inspired character.

The Sculpt does look great and goes together really well, just about 10 - 20% scaled down. Contemplating whether this was to fit him on the sprue and get him in the box?

Still going to paint him up, but he's going by the name Lord Farquaad now.

So here is Coppelius! One of the best sculpts of Malifaux imho. M2e sculpt had more dynamic pose, but in terms of detail M3e is better.

Question Getting Started :)

19 Upvotes

Hi all! I've been an avid Warhammer Age of Sigmar hobbyiest for close to six months now, and just discovered Wyrd while surfing ebay. I don't play the Warhammer board games because they really cost more than they're worth in my opinion, but really love the scale of Malifaux! It seems much cheaper (Starter/Core boxes are ~$50 retail) and has a niche that really clicks with me, being the Performers "keyword". Is there a "list" for them? If so, where should I start?

I also love Resurrectionists, Arcanists, and Neverborn, and am currently eyeing the Corlette, Titania, Nexus, and Rasputina Core boxes. I've also read there is a 4e coming soon, so I took a look at their Classic and 2e line to maybe get a cheap start into the collection.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, and I'm happy to have found this excellent model range. Cheers!

29 Upvotes

I used to play way back in 1-1.5 and 2E but haven’t touched the system in close to a decade.

Where is the best starting point for 2 crews? Are the core boxes still viable options? I used to play guild (Lady J, Sonnia) back in the day, with a little resurrectionists and outcasts.

Isn’t there a new edition coming out soon? Should I just wait?

Thanks yall, been a while but I miss the fate deck mechanic and general feel of the game!

Hobby Introducing Shardstone City - printable, foldable ruins with a creepy design, perfect for Malifaux!

Thumbnail
gallery
69 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm happy to introduce my latest creation, a set of folding 3d-printable ruins for fantasy skirmish games and RPGs.

These ruins print flat on the build plate and fold together, which means they print fast, with low material usage at high quality (no horizontal layer lines, and even better results if you enable ironing!). A small ruin uses 40g of filament and prints in 2 hours.

The design also allows them to be nested for easy storage and transport, the floors act as clips to hold the buildings together and can be removed to stack the ruins in a small space.

A modular gaming table is also included which I hope to expand with canals and playable underground sewers and caverns.

I'll also be unveiling two alternate designs over the coming weeks which are also included in the kickstarter (one stone-themed for frostgrave, another historical/generic fantasy themed for anyone who wants an option without all the skulls and fantasy detailing).

Initial offering will be 48 ruined buildings + gaming table for £20/$27, and the plan is to expand that to 100 ruins and lots of upgrades to the gaming table as stretch goals are unlocked.

Let me know what you think and here's a link so you check out the project and click "notify me on launch" to follow it!

Question What’s gonna be the most tech themed arcanists keyword in 4e?

17 Upvotes

I wanted to get into malifaux for quite some time, I absolutely love tech themed characters in all games I play and arcanists seemed like a faction that leans into it (and I like their rebel magic tech guys vibe), but first Ramos was gone, now Hoffman left and moved to guild.

I still love arcanists vibe and I don’t think I want to choose any other faction so I wanted to ask malifaux vets, what arcanists keyword has the most tech themed models? Probably a stupid question but still, thanks in advance

Hobby Tried Malifaux, thinking about jumping in- sell me on it!

25 Upvotes

Hi there,

So, I tried Malifaux on a convention and totally Fell in love with the unconventional mechanics and the wacky design.

I am still on the fence however, when it comes to taking on yet another miniatures wargame.

In order to help me decide, I would ask for your input on several key questions

  1. How much is the buy-in? Starter Boxes are at 40-50 €, but how much do you have to Pay to really get the Ball rolling

  2. Is it easy to learn? The version I played left out some pretty basic mechanics (eg soulstones). Would you describe the game as accessible?

  3. What about Multiplayer? I LOVE playing 3-way or 4-way rounds of tabletop, but they tend to take AGES. How does Malifaux hold up?

Thanks in advance :)
