  1. They look nice. What happened though, I mean not long ago, these were specific to Warmachine, and now it's "komrade red" and more generic? I'm sure Wyrd will make some up, or at least work with people like GF9 to get some created. I know most people will take it on themselves to make counters, but for us lesser abled, it would be nice to buy them in first, and tinker with making our own later
  2. the shine actually makes the gloves and apron look like those disposable plastic ones you can get. Could imagine him ripping it all off at the end of the day and tossing it in a bin.
  3. I love them! I haven't decided what colour for the lizards, I picked up a couple of shades of green to see what they were like though. So Zoraida comes with four mini voodoo dolls? Darn! I could have based them up individually and used them as the totem. I think it would be so much more creepy to have this little stuffed doll walk up and stab you in the foot with a poisoned needle.
  4. Get another colour to represent five wounds. Black, for example congealed blood). 8 damage is a black and three red. I do hope Wyrd releases a counter set. Stuff like poison, fast/slow, wounds, a turn marker maybe, blast counters etc.
  5. Those hovel ones seem pretty neat, let us know how they fit in when you receive them. I might splash out and get a village going for when my opponents finally buy into Malifaux!
  6. The thing is, I don't think we need them, just was looking at how they could fit. Hell, if you had enough time you could shoe-horn an elf into 40k... oh wait they did. Nevermind. The problem is, there's so many games out there, it's going to become a bit more difficult as time goes on to make new figures or crews without hitting something that has been done before. However, I'd love to see "rat-men", or something similar.
  7. Gale Force 9 do wound counters (shaped like blood dots) in various denominations, so they might do?
  8. I don't like Joss either sadly. T he idea of it is good, but not very steampunk. I'd love to see the axes as extensions of his hands, or at least more technological. I wonder if it would be bad to replace the axes with Chaos Marine chain-axes?
  9. Ooh. "The amazing Clockwork Man" (A man of brass and copper, missing only a heart. A large hole in it's chest is covered in gore as it tries to rip out the hearts of it's victims, hoping one day that it will become "real". It can do more damage while suffering wounds itself by "overwinding" it's attack) "The Mirror Bearer" (wields a mirror that anyone who is in close range must make a test or they lose stats as the mirror warps their reality. The mirror bearer cannot move far, and the mirror is fragile, but the bad thing is, if it is hit, it explodes into shards, each one digging into the people in range, poisoning anyone they hit) "The knife thrower" (A powerful telek....thingy, who is surrounded by knives. He can send out the knives as ranged attacks, and also move scrap and corpse counters around. (I think moving treasure counters might be bad?)
  10. If the neverborn shape human nightmares (and are formed from them too), then why not put any weres and vamps in the Neverborn section? Both can be minions, the werewolf is a tainted wendigo, where the vampire is a human infected with a neverborn and forced to drink from another human. Vamps can take and use blood counters to heal or "power up", werewolves could have the ability to use secondary 'attacks', but at the cost of wounds (as changing is not a happy experience). I think this stuff can be added, but it needs a malifaux twist. A vampire has to be a twisted, pitiful creature (think more a ghoul), that is easily dominated, but it can do a really powerful willpower attack on humans. Another thing would be, if corpse counters are on the field, they have to take WP tests (considering their weak WP) otherwise they charge to the nearest one to feed.
  11. One of the National Trust houses, was built in the Tudor time however it was modernised in the Victorian period. The last owner, upon inheriting it, ripped all this out, brought in architects with specialisation in Tudor buildings, and restored it to it's original glory, including the gardens, plunge pools etc. I'm sure there were periods through the Victorian period where the 'antique' style came back, and the Tudor styles were brought back to light. Hell, up the road from me is a 'Tudor road house' (pub) built after the Victorian times.
  12. The problem is if they cuddle her too much, they remove one of the crews as being viable to play. Maybe limit the amount of sorrows that can link to her, or, they take damage when they use their abilities... that way the sorrows can help her do an alpha-strike, but then become progressively weaker, until even a simple blast will finish them off.
  13. Did you get the bases from them direct? Their site seems to be mostly polish, and I'm in the UK. Edit: Ignore me, I changed the language.
  14. If you want it fluffy, you could argue that one of them is a doppleganger, and has convinced her "crew" that she's the right one, and they must hunt down the evil doppelgänger. I'm not sure if you can do 2v2, but if so, it would be so interesting to see say the "real" Lady J, and another guild crew, vs the "fake" Lady J, and a neverborn crew. Maybe even make up some rules where if a black joker is drawn on a guild character on the fake side, they "realise" what is happening, and can switch sides.
  15. I dunno I see Zoraida being the "Grandma" of the neverborn. I am tempted to take Zoraida as my start, pick up Candy, and then "slime" her up a little, to make it look like she was floating face down in the bayou for a week before Zoraida fished her out. See, not only is Pandy's crew one of the cheapest, but I love how creepy the figures are. However, as there's three of us getting into Malifaux, having a "oh, it's turn two, you're dead" crew might push them away. However, nothing stopping me getting Zora and then "expanding" into Pandy's territory when people are more experienced!
  16. sex bots sex bots, they're my sex bots, I hang out with a young Alyce, and my hollow waifs are hot!
  17. (all) A Murder of Crows:.... Sorry I don't know how the area of effect works in this. Basically, I'm trying to say that it's an area counts as blocking line of sight and light cover, and any model that ends it's activation in this cloud (friendly or enemy) automatically takes a damage flip, to represent the crows going "Alfred Hitchcock" on them.
  18. It's true they don't have to, but a good few people will feel slighted by it i guess. I'm intending to do what I did with the original WFR book, print out snippets of the errata, and then put them in between the pages where they are needed. Just a good! However, I still like the idea of the "rules only" mini rulebook.
  19. That's brilliant! Thank you! Have I at all mentioned how great it is to have so much input from the company?
  20. Does mean though you have to print them out, which is more fiddling. A nice replacement system would work wonders. I send in my cards, they send the new ones back. I know other companies that do have cards do offer a replacement system if the cards are wrong or such, it would be nice if Wyrd did too? (Not that I am complaining, it's a new game, the team is very on the ball with correcting the rules and having a forum presence too, which other games don't do as often)
  21. The problem is, all the "early adopters" will end up with having to rebuy the rulebook. I know they don't 'have' to, but a reprint with the erratas fixed will cause some changes to the page layout, meaning possibly more or different artwork, more examples, maybe more other bits of information which would make the book worth getting again. That's (for me anyway) £50 spent on rules alone. The other thing a friend who is getting into this mentioned, was the decision by GW to do their "mini rulebooks" in their starters. The book is devoid of fluff, and pure rules. A pure rules (updated with errata) A5 book would be cheaper, and easier to carry to games, while the big book is nice to have for the artwork, showing new people, etc. I have no problems paying £10-12 for a A5 book, even more so if it's spiral bound so it can be folded over.
  22. I think the only problems he had was on the page with the piglets/warpigs, the text on the piglet page was too far over, and the holes from the spiral bound cut up some of the words... but it is a great idea, and if they do revamp the rulebook (to include the errata etc), it's worth seeing if they will do that.
  23. Basically the title says it... but the thing I was worried about is all this errata. I can print them out and put them in the rule book which is not a problem at all, however once we know the rules the stat cards are all we will normally see, and if they are incorrect, it will lead to times were we have to pull out the rule books and such. Will Wyrd be releasing errata'd stat cards later on, to replace the ones that are now incorrect? I know they can't do it just yet as the errata is still ongoing, but when it's finally settled down, do you think they'd either release them all in a set so we can buy them, or offer a swap system so we mail in our wrong ones, and get the right ones sent out? I suppose it doesn't matter too much if you've always got the errata handy, especially once you memorise it, but for new players, (like me!) it's difficult to go "ok I do this" and they go "Oh, you can't. they errata'd that out, sorry!".
  24. You could if you have the malifaux child, paint it up like a rag-doll puppet, and bingo, it's Zoraida's new voodoo doll. It looks fun. I mean isn't that the name of the game (other than Malifaux), to have fun?
  25. The other thing is, there are some quick and simple painting techniques that will work on at least some of the crews. Drybrushing (you put paint onto a firm, preferably large brush, then wipe it off onto a paper towel until there's only faint streaks coming off, then flick the brush over the figure) means that raised edges will pick up detail, which is great for say Sorrows. In fact you could easily drybrush your force, and bingo. Ok it's not painted beautifully, but it's enough. Other than that, the washes you can get from places like Games Workshop or such, paint the figure white as a base coat (Foundation paint or primer), then put a wash on the figure. The wash goes into all the sunken detail where it pools, which is also a nice simple way of quickly painting something. However, the cost and time to do that (even though it's quite fast), might not compare to getting a paintjob done from one of those people. Their work is beautiful.
