Popular Post Lucidicide Posted July 13, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 This week's Monday Preview is a look at the upcoming Brotherhood of the Rat Story Encounter and Adventure Box. This box includes Rat Catchers, Rat Kings, and Malifaux Rats! This is the second 'story box' release for Wyrd, with the University of Transmortis as the first. This box contains the Brotherhood of the Rat booklet, which has 3 specially designed Malifaux encounters (including a 1 player encounter) and a quick one shot Through the Breach adventure. The entire booklet is themed around the Brotherhood of the Rat -- a group of rat catchers in Malifaux. In addition to this booklet, the box contains two Rat Catchers, two Rat Kings, and eight Malifaux Rats. These models are all available to the Outcast Faction, and can provide players with new options for their game. While these models are themed for Hamelin, many players have found great use for them in any Crew (for an example, see Rathnard's blog post here). The Brotherhood of the Rat will not be available at GenCon, but its release date is not far off. So whether you're planning on picking up Hamelin, looking to add some Rats to your Crew, or want to see some great new encounters, this box is for you! --- While I've got you here, I've got two other pieces of news to share: The GenCon releases and prices will be available in the next couple of days. We're hoping to get the list out today, but we'll see what happens. Stay tuned! If you are a Henchman, please head over to the Henchman board and this thread. There are some upcoming changes you need to know about. Thanks all, have a Wyrd week! 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guslado Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Is it just me or does anyone else feel like painting those Rat Kings as the King in Yellow? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hot damn, finally the Rats are going to be released to the wider community! People are going to learn just how awesome the Outcasts are before long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaphoricDragn Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 huh, well this was an unexpected preview. I was hoping for more starter set spoilers. Oh well, I'm sure you just made many Hamelin players very happy to have a one stop shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddkat Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I love the different directions the releases are taking the gameplay in the Malifaux world! This looks like another fun game experience in one of my favorite worlds. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Oh well, I'm sure you just made many Hamelin players very happy to have a one stop shop. Not just Hamelin players. Every damn outcast player should be buying this box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaphoricDragn Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 No reason to preview a GenCon release when you'll get them all later. I am very excited to see those as well, I honestly wasn't expecting that info for a couple more weeks. However I wouldn't expect the rest of the starter set model rules to be spoiled in said gencon list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwailung Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Those Rat Kings look like they've trying to sneak into an R-rated movie. I love 'em. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormLordXIII Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'm a fan of the new ratcatcher models particularly. While I liked the metal sculpts, these seem a lot more fluid, and the ratkings look pretty sweet as well. Very stoked and excited to see what future story boxes look like. Would love to see some Thunders in one of those at some point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Those Rat Kings look like they've trying to sneak into an R-rated movie. I love 'em. And the Through the Breach adventure is all about helping them get in. (Not really, but wouldn't that be awesome?) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grue Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I will have to get that just for the Rat King Models. Now, how to put the Rat Kings in my Lucius/McTavish Doppleganger crew. As always, The Grue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordZombie Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 And they said they would never do Encounter boxes again. I am glad to see they changed their minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengt Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Not just Hamelin players. Every damn outcast player should be buying this box. Why? Your rat trick is based around the Obedient Wretch which I guess will be in Hamelin's box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
