I'm tired of roleplaying games. I think the recent fallout was nothing in the range of the originals. I feel starved of turn-based strategy, and I reckon malifaux could be perfectly adapted. That would be my choice.

So I had a bit of a play around with my hamelyn the plagued tonight. Haven't used him before, and thought I'd have a test against Rasputina. 30pts Rasputina had Ice golem 3 x little golem thingys wendigo hunter hamelyn had 3 x stolen 4 x rats rat catcher nix wench I was actually really surprised how effective the crew was. I figured the rats would be easy targets for all the ice blasts that would be going around. It wasn't until I actually saw the effect of the rat catcher being within 6" just how annoying they are. Rats died, and just respawned. And slow hardly seems to hold them back either. Seemed so easy to swarm models and eat them. The poor hunter deployed forward near an objective and just got eaten so easily. Poor guy. One thing though. When the rats are summoned, they get slow but because they already have this it doesnt stack? So they still have 1ap right? Perhaps that is why they seemed so bad! I ended the game on turn 3-4, rasputina had no chance of grabbing the treasure and was already 1 model down with the golem insignificant.

that is true the neverborn were very under-represented in the story. Hadn't thought of it till now though!

finally finished of the last model in her crew last night. my entire collection can be viewed, and rated here http://www.miniwargaming.com/channel/donnyb/

I found an alternate supplier for rats. Sorry Wyrd, love your scuplts but couldn't justify the extra expense.

fair enough, that makes sense. My order for the rat infestation is in. I'll have 23 rats all up! Got Colette and her pretty girls for the wife too. Nice contrast I think.

do you also need a card for all the rats on the table? If so how do you distinguish between them all?

many thanks!

great tactica. One note on the last post, why put the stolen 10-12" away? Do you mean to revive Hamyln? He only revives to a stolen 3" away. Another question, in 50 points how many rats would you require by the end? I'm looking at 6 soulless, 6 rats, 2 rat catchers, obedient wretch, nix and hamlyn for my order. Seems I will require more rats at the end of the game...perhaps a lot more!?

My Korean co-worker read your comments, she translated it. It was readable! I wrote foreign idiot on my profile. I can read korean, I can speak some, but I am not good either! I've also been with Malifaux since Nov last year, but thanks for the welcome back!

Just wanted to send positive message to you guys for this great work. It's awesome I love it. The artwork, the stories. It is just a really great book! Only one regret, now that I own it, I will have to buy some new crews. Rasputina and Nicodemus simply don't compare any more. Seriously though, thanks very much, From one very happy customer.

So I've been out of the loop for a while come back to discover the V2.0 book. Of course I had to order it today, but what's all this about new abilities on the cards? I still haven't totally finished making all the errata changes to the rulebook, and the cards I own (Nico, and Rasputina crews with extras) have already been laminated. O_o

Tumling: I think you will find it is this pose, scuse the pun.

awesome. love the dogs.

In that case, yes, they are wargames factory zombies. Now I feel dirty...but the dirt won't wash off... >_> Built another 6 of them on the weekend, and also made some corpse counters too. Have to make some time to finish them off now though.

I'm not sure if the Wyrd guys want me to share where I bought the zombies, seeing as they are not from their range. Is it OK to share?

Thanks a lot, it was certainly my pleasure. Glad you like em.

Nicodem himself... and his offsider (sorry I forget his name) convict gunslinger Flesh construct some zombies...plenty more of these to build and paint. and that's it. Thanks for looking. As I said before these were awesome fun to paint, I hope it shows.

I finished this crew last year but have only just found time, and a camera, now I can share them. Hope you enjoy, I loved painting these~! To start, the punk zombies. Comments, welcomed.

The stat card and the rule book are both misprints. Will it be in the list of errata soon then? So far I notice it isn't.

Well if you follow standard, it should technically be Gaimen... Man - men Woman - women etc etc

Awesome! Thanks mate.

That is good to know, I have purchased two extra sets of 30mm bases so I'll have plenty to go around. How many extra zombies, etc can you re-animate in a game? I will be getting some dogs too, but I didn't want to use the GW dire wolves so will wait for Wyrd to release the actual models first. Can someone give me an idea what I should expect in game terms? Thanks.

I'm interested to know how many corpse counters should I create? I have a box of zombies on their way, and have ordered extra bases. With these I intend on making some mindless zombies and using the rest of the body parts as corpse counters. In fact how many zombies can Nicodemus re-animate on average in a standard game? I might need more bases...

I've been waiting the last couple of weeks for The Undertaker's Lot box to arrive. It came to day and I must say I'm impressed with the mini's. I will start painting these up once the few paints I require arrive. I also put in an order for Rasputina's box, the Convict Gunslinger, A Flesh Construct, a Wendigo, and a December Acolyte. Along with some of the Victorian base inserts and some graveyard inserts. Reading through the rulebook, looks like these crews should match up interestingly. I can't wait!!
