Critical Twits

Hey all! After a few technical difficulties I am proud to present our take on the 3rd edition news. Enjoy! https://www.criticaltwits.com/105-malifaux-3rd-edition-dissected/

Hi all! We asked you, we collected your answers, cogitated ruminated and digested. For your amusement, we present the guide to the best dogs in Malifaux!

@Kimberly @Rufess Okay, I relent! Inflict emotional damage with double negatives...

Iggy Pup and Mad Dog added! Thanks for the suggestion. I will add a disclaimer to the podcast that we are in no way disparaging any doggos and all the doggos are good. Thanks all for taking part, the comments have made me chuckle more than once

Hi all! The Critical Twits podcast needs your help - we need to know who the best dog in Malifaux is. We've included all of the Canidae family (and were/hybrid/undead iterations thereof) and no Bultungin, because they're werehyenas and therefore their own separate thing and I totally didn't have to look that up on Wikipedia earlier today. We'd also love to know your reasons below! (You may see the same poll on A Wyrd Place too, feel free to vote here too and consider the reward you deserve for being so dedicated to our beloved game) Cheers everyone!

Hey all! We're a bit late to the party but here's our thoughts on GG2018!

Hey everyone! I really struggle getting my models painted (I'm more of a gamer than a painter) but I've recently gotten into my painting in a big way, and wanted to share some tips on breaking painter's block with the world. This little vlog is the result, hope you enjoy!

Aw, thank you! None of us are capable of consistent tabling, so we have to get our kicks another way!

Sorry, forgot to click the button! It should work now!

Hey everyone, we discussed the latest errata on our podcast, with players from each faction. It's not the most super-serious discussion ever, and there are a plethora of terrible jokes to make the medicine go down, but we'd love to know what you think!

Hey everyone! We went to our first ever Malifaux tournament with them there strangers in it, and played our first games of GG2018. Then we talked about it for your (hopeful) amusement. Let us know all the things we did wrong below! Click here for noises!

We're back! This week we report back from our latest self-enforced tournament, Burst of the Worst. Based on a poll run by Huzzah Hobbies, this tournament got us to play Masters commonly considered to be the worst. Are they really so bad or have we found ways of making them work?

Thank you! Hopefully we'll get a bit more painted for our follow-up at the end of the month and I can compliment the podcast with some pics and a little article on our website. Thanks for listening, we really appreciate it

Hey all! After completely failing to make any local tournaments, we realised the only way to get some competitive Malifaux in was to host our own. Join us for a harrowing tale of green stuff accidents, overly-mayonnaised sandwiches, and how we learnt to stop messing about and embrace the timer.

The Red Jokers: A Faux Show were kind enough to host myself and a fellow Critical Twit for a mega-episode of Malifaux discussion, including highlighting some of our favourite models, our differing approaches to tournament gaming, what would happen if we went Through The Breach, and more, including some awesome Malifaux-based challenges for each 'cast and which board games Malifaux fans should be playing.

Hi all! Brian from the Critical Twits here. It's been a while but we've been hard at work, playing a tonne of Henchman Hardcore so we can bring you our verdict (and our crews!) for this quicky format. Any HH fans out there? Does anyone have any really nasty crews I could use to stop my losing streak?

Condition kills - yes! Thank you, I'm gonna try and kill as much stuff with conditions as I can when this is about. You may be a literal game-saver!

Framed for Murder is my Achilles heel! I always, always, always fall for it, really early on.

Thank you so much for listening, glad you liked it! We're really excited about GG 2017, it's really renewed our love of the game. How are you finding it?

Hi all, Brian from the Twits here. Our latest episode is all about our dabblings with the new GG2017 schemes and strategies, and our love of Crewfaux. We also topple our local undefeated Malifaux champ and ask UK listeners about any tournaments or anything that are coming up. So, anyone out there doing anything competitive in the UK any time soon?

Hello! I know there's a separate podcast thread but I'm not sure how often people will be checking there, or if we're going to get lost in the inevitable deluge, so thought I'd add this here - if it's unwanted, please feel free to hold this post's head under water until it stops kicking, and post its corpse back to me with a strongly-worded letter of admonishment. Now that's out the way, I just wanted to share our latest podcast with you - we're big fans of Malifaux (and talk about it every month) so we just had to check out The Other Side, and go through the Kickstarter campaign so far with a fine-tooth comb. You can watch the video below, or click here for a Soundcloud version (with download option). Let us know what you think!

Hello! Brian from the Critical Twits here. We dedicated our monthly Malifaux episode to The Other Side this month. Joe and I go through the setting, the models, and the system in turn, and decide if we're going to back or not. You can listen here: Or you can click here to head to Soundcloud for audio-only and downloadable versions. We hope you enjoy and we'd love to hear what you think.

Hi all, Brian from the Twits here. I've cross-posted this from the discussion forum because it might be of special interest to terrain builders/enthusiasts - our latest episode is all about the importance of terrain to a good game of Malifaux. Love to know what you think, or see anything awesome you've built/bought/carved from the bones of your enemies. Thanks!

Hi all, Brian from the Twits here. Our latest episode focusses on the importance of terrain to a good game of Malifaux, from building your collection to creating a narrative while playing. As ever, all feedback is welcome, and I'm especially interested in seeing any awesome scenery you guys and girls have built/bought/summoned through diabolical means. Cheers!

Hello all! Brian from the Critical Twits here. One thing I keep seeing come up time and time again in the Malifaux community is the question "How do I get started?" It's usually followed by "Which crew boxes should I get?" and "Should I get the starter box?" They're questions we've been battling with recently as we try to expand our local Malifaux scene and introduce new players to this wonderful game. So we decided to take the liberty of creating an audio beginner's guide on the podcast, with some bonus tips for those (like us) who are teaching the game to others. We'd love to know what you think, if there's anything you think we've missed, and to hear your stories of how you got into Malifaux. Thanks everyone!
