Dan, You really should post a pic of the "wanted poster" style add you put up in the store. Krapus is awesome!

Put me down as an alternate. I'm free that day, but I may get called into work. Plus, I want to make sure I got my figs painted and sealed before I drop'em on a tournament table. Thanks Dan.

So I played my first game of Malifaux tonight and boy did I get spanked! I borrowed a starter box of Rasputina and I was up against a starter box of Justice. My loss came from a series of bad decisions on my part and the strategies that were pulled really didn’t work to my favor. Rasputina was on a treasure hunt and Justice was gunning to assassinate ‘Tina. The game ended in turn 5, 7VPs to zero. My heart is set on the Arcanists, but I think I really need my own selection of models to hire crews from. Playing starter box matches is okay I guess, but I’d NEVER run ‘Tina with her golem and gamin in a treasure hunt strategy. I plan on picking up Marcus and some molemen this weekend…maybe a second sabertooth as well. Rasputina’s box set is just too inflexible for my play style…and I need to pay more attention to what my opponent’s figures are capable of.

Well...if I do recall...Cloud was known to dress like a woman on occasion! :twitch:

Hello everyone! I’m Dragon from Chicago, Illinois. I’ve been interested in Malifaux since GenCon ’09. A week ago, I picked up the core book and couldn’t put it down after opening it. I’ll be picking up my first box set this weekend. So far, looks like I’m Arcanist to the core. :nod: In the past, I’ve played WarHammer40k, Hordes, and AT-43. Currently, I’m a Pressganger for Privateer Press’ Monsterpocalypse and actively play the game. I really don’t play Hordes or AT-43 anymore and I’d sooner shoot myself in the face than play WH40k again, so I’m in need of a new minis game…particularly one that involves painting since I’ve been strictly involved with pre-painted mini games for the last several years and I miss the painting aspect of the hobby. I think the unique diceless quality of Malifaux along with its unusual and interesting rules makes it a prime choice compared to other boring skirmish games out there. Not to mention the jam-packed, multi-genre theme of the game is really fun. I look forward to breaking the rust off my painting skills and getting back into the swing of things…and what a relief it is to not have to paint “troops” anymore! I like that I only need to paint 4-7 models that are each unique and useful…not required. Trying to justify painting scores of identical models while balancing time between my profession, girlfriend, role-playing, volunteering, and part time game design just isn’t worth the reward of playing some wargames. I think that Malifaux has already set it’s self apart from games like it and that’s what has captivated my interest thus far and brought me back to the table.
