Nice to see a thread for this game.

I bought a Ramos box, Joss, Electrical Creation, and another pack of Spiders a Gen Con this year. Waiting for Christmas to see what all my wife and mother in law buy off my list (Collette Box, Coryphee, Mechanical Doves, Kaeris Box Set, Alt Ramos).

I also got to play my first real game last weekend using 2 of my other crews(Lady J vs Seamus). So far seem to hav 2 other people that are looking into starting crews :).

Oh well I tried to get in on this, but I guess they stopped making the guy I wanted? Am I wrong or is Hoffman off the table?

nm there he is. They were out of the model at warstore and wayland.

So... how is Hoffman to play?

Yeah several stores seem to be out of many of the box sets atm.


I got a bunch of bases for the Malifaux crews I will be buying after Christmas, a signed copy of the Rising Powers rule book, and a 5 pack of Teddy for Puppet Wars. Damnit Wyrd can I just sign my pay check over to you...

I've not played a wargame since, oh, er... when I used to play 40k about 15 years ago:eek: But one of my oldest friends is a keen miniature painter which naturally leads to him wanting to use his painted miniatures...

Anyway, I saw Malifaux in a thread on another board and was immediately taken by the minis. So after much loving around trying to make my mind up, I bit the bullet and picked up the Death Marshalls starter (because those Death Marshalls look awesome). I also bought a Peacekeeper because it looked bad rear end (only the thing comes in more pieces than a box of Legos... so I've now got to learn how to pin!).

I've bought my mate the Ramos starter for Christmas, so hopefully some time in the new year we'll start actually using some of these minis we keep painting.

I'm also torn... because that Pandora avatar looks awesome. But then I had my eye on the Dreamer / Lord Chompybits too... I guess I'll work my way through several crews, just because the minis look awesome to paint.

EDIT: gently caress, my brain works like the autocorrect function on my iPhone, i.e. badly.

I like how the 2 you have bought are the 2 that I own (Lady J and Ramos).

Also my order from the Warstore that I placed earlier this week arrived: Alt. Lady J, Alt Sonnia, Large Steampunk Arachnid :neckbeard:

You don't want to play Ortegas. They suck. They can't do anything useful ... Other than completely shrug off all the wonderful things Hamelin can do. Seriously, how the gently caress am I supposed to deal with them? They can also blow up all my rats, and shoot my Rat Catchers in the face.



I am getting the Ortegas for 2 reasons. 1) They pair up well with the Guild stuff I have already (Lady J's box set + Executioner for $10 from a friend). 2) I am going to be getting Lilith and use those for teaching games.

I originally bought the Red Chapel Gang to face Lady J, but after getting the box I just did not like the miniatures from a painting stand point. And I thought what is the point of having miniatures for teaching games that are bare metal or just primed.

I just want my bases to get here so I can start painting dudes. The back log I am going to have once Christmas is over is going to be nuts.

As an Ork player in 40k and Skaven player from Fantasy just the thought of priming with white is blowing my mind. I had to go buy some brighter reds and still need to get some brighter blues.

The cheapest and easiest way to get every single rule that is out for Malifaux is to buy both the small rule book (all the rules from the first book and Rising Powers in one small book) and Twisting Fates. The first and second big rule books at this point are only good if you want to read the fluff.

There are not really any book 1 masters that are pure poo poo. There are some that are going to be harder or more expensive to get started though (Ramos).

Honestly if you are looking to play the game pick what ever master you think is the most interesting/awesome. Wyrd seems to be using the avatars and minions from book 3 to help out the book 1 masters and get everything more in balance.

All masters have Avatars in that they have stats for them in Book 3. They don't all have models yet, but presumably they all will soon. I think after May the only ones who don't have models for their avatars will be Hoffman, Colette (whose avatar is actually just 3 copies of her anyway), Hamelin, and Dreamer.

Also remember Gen Con is Aug. 16-19. Wyrd always releases a bunch of stuff during that week both at the show and on their website.

I know people had a special kind of hate with some of the spiders and I think his avatar with all those spindly thin legs :-(

Avatar Ramos would suck if you don't have 1) a bunch of patience 2) good glue and 3) exp with metal minis. There is a trick to doing him, you just have to remember that the tiny legs are pretty drat flexible. So you basically test fit it with Ramos standing on some Sticky Tack and once you have 1 leg 100% set, set up the other 3 legs based around it. Also drilling holes into the base so the feet have more surface area to grip helps a ton.

Had another game tonight against Seamus, played my Colette gang.

We had that scenario where it was to kill each others Masters using our own. Got the extra VP tricks going on and I had Sabotage and Colette's special one (harvesting Soulstones). Managed to attrition myself out just jumping across the board like a lunatic but lost out on the Soulstone one in the process. This game is bonkersly fun even though I'm only getting half of the rules for my crew and am still unsure on what some of them do.

Basically, what I'm saying is A Blinding Flash is amusing to pop and bugger off half way across the board.

So I need to get my Ramos crew fully painted for Gen Con. Over the last 2 nights I have gone from 1 model painted (Ramos) to 9.



Took about 3.5 hours for these 2 last night




And these guys took about 3 hours the night before. If I have some extra time I will be going over them with a brighter metalic drybrush so they can stand out a bit more.

And HERE is the entire album with some WiP shots.
