Hi all, Quick update. I've played 4 games on the 2x2 now. Taking inspiration from the above suggestions, I've reduced deployment areas to the board edge, and knocked a third off the distances for some schemes. The results? Games are quicker, deadlier affairs, but the rules stand up exactly as on the bigger board. There has been no "weirdness" or any situations which I wouldn't have expected to see on a 3x3. I shall continue experimenting and post back of anything strange should happen. To the Breach!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am going to try reducing the deployment zones in the first instance and see how it goes. If 2x2 really takes away from the enjoyment factor of the game, I'll revisit my table options, limited as they are! Good point about certain scenarios. I'll have play them all (shame!) and see what amendments are required. What about reducing crew size below the usual level so that there is only 2-4 models a side? Thanks again.

Hi everyone, Unfortunately, it has been decided that my large gaming room should become my daughters new bedroom. Never mind, you say, have her old room. Indeed! But that is being changed in to my wife's exercise room. I am left with a 2ft x 2ft table. That's it. How do you think M2E will play? I'm thinking of using cm instead of inches. Does anyone have any experience of this? Any other cunning ideas? No. Arguing with two females is NOT an option. Many thanks, Dan.

Thanks for all the replies, I have the relevant cards now. Looking forward to running Lucius out against some other crews!

Hi everyone. Just getting back in to Malifaux, and sorting out my crew for 2E. I can't seem to find the Guild Guard Captain in any of the releases. Could anyone point me in the right direction, or if he is no longer in existence, give me an idea what other players are using him as now? Many thanks.

I'd be there, if it wasn't for a 3000 mile plane trip... Have fun! Dan.

Taken from the errata document: “In Malifaux, an attack is defined as: • Any Talent, Action, or Spell targeting an enemy model. • Any Talent, Action, or Spell that inflicts damage or requires a Resist Duel targeting a friendly or neutral model. • All Auras and Pulses that inflict damage or require a Resist Duel are also considered attacks.” I think that shows that its an "attack". Dan.

Dover/Folkestone area. Margate isn't too far to go, assuming Pfizers isn't chucking out! Is there a club that plays Malifaux?

I am in deepest, darkest Kent, which doesn't have much of a thriving Gaming community, unfortunately. The ones that do exist tend to be GW or Napoleonic inspired affairs. I have spoken to some guys in the local stores, and most haven't heard of Malifaux, so I soon put them straight!

Thanks for the reply, Nathan. This is a great setting you have created, and one of the most inspiring I have encountered in 20+ years of gaming. Having been immersed in the 40k universe for so long, this is like a breath of fresh air. I plan to write a short piece of fiction for each encounter poor old Emmet has with each faction as he struggles to survive his first week in Malifaux. Then again, a plan is just a list of things that don't happen... Dan.

Nice looking minis. I like "Rose's" face, and that is one grim looking Sybelle! The happy accident with the gold adds a nice mystical effect to Seamus. Good job all round. Dan.

New to the forum (and the game), thought I'd start with a bit of fiction! Apologies in advance for any "fluff" errors! BAPTISM OF FIRE The baroque steam locomotive jolted to a stop in Malifaux station, great gouts of steam billowing from the tender and obscuring the platform from view. Travellers stood too close to the edge stepped back, coughing and spluttering in the sudden cloud, whilst porters rushed forward to open doors and assist with the unloading of the fine luggage and hat boxes of the newly arrived. Tourists were always good for tips, and porters could easily elicit a few crisp new Guilders out of visitors whilst they were still suffering the soporific effects of crossing The Breach. For Emmet Mason, this was his first visit to Malifaux. He had long dreamed of packing up his life in a box and travelling to this mystical land, in search of his fortune. After working for many years in the oppressive Bureau for the Extraction of Sorcerous Elements in the bowels of the Massachusetts Institute for Alchemical Technology, he was finally free of his debt and able to pursue his dream. As he watched the great and the good step off the train and into their waiting carriages and steam driven contraptions, he felt no emotion for the joyless life he had left behind. Emmet gathered together his belongings and made his way to the carriage door. He was one of the last off the train, and he took a deep breath as he stepped onto the platform, and into a new life of opportunity and adventure, where this middle aged former scientist and researcher could finally spread his wings and learn about some of the mysteries of this new dimension. His reverie was broken by an unholy screech from the far end of the platform. Emmet strained to see through the sudden snow storm that had engulfed the platform. “Snow storm?” Emmet thought to himself. “But it’s the middle of June? This place really is a crazy land of unexpected delights!” Emmet began to walk towards the source of the screeching noise, tingling with anticipation at the thought of getting into an adventure so soon after his arrival. ++++ Samael dived behind a pile of ornate looking luggage as the gigantic, frozen apparition hurled what looked like part of the train over his head. It collided with the platform roof, adding shards of glass to snow that was falling all around. The thing let out a scream that shattered the windows of the train carriage it was stood next to. Samael risked a glance to his left, and saw the remaining Witchling creeping up alongside the Golem, Shattered Blade at the ready. As the Witchling leapt on to the Golem’s back, Samael rolled out from his hiding place and levelled his Colt .45 at the giants torso. The pistol bucked and roared in his hand as he loosed of three shots at the Golem, two of which struck the creation squarely in the chest. The Golem swayed, almost in shock then fixed Samael with a frozen gaze, narrowing its eyes, which glowed blue with the intense magicks coursing through its system. “Whatever you are going to do, do it now!” Samael shouted at the Witchling which was writhing around on the Golem’s back, trying to find purchase on the slippery surface of the icy creation. The Witchling acknowledged Samael’s order and drove its rusty blade between the shoulder blades of the Golem. The monster screamed out, and desperately tried to grab the Witchling, who hung on to the hilt of its blade despite the thrashing of the Golem and being repeatedly smashed against the stations walls and the battered train carriage. Samael noted the tell tale cracks beginning to appear in the crystallised body of the Golem. His trained eye picked out a hairline crack running the full length of the great giants body, and swiftly bought his Colt to bear. Samael squeezed the ivory trigger and the weapons payload struck true. A brief look of confusion spread over the Golem’s face prior to it shattering into a million crystals of razor sharp ice. Several bystanders who had been concealing themselves around the fight were caught in the shower of deadly shards, muffled screams were swiftly followed by spouts of arterial blood from the victims. The snow storm immediately began to dissipate, and the June sun began to reassert itself. Samael blinked in the sunlight and cautiously reviewed the scene. There were a few dead civilians, and two or three walking wounded. The Witchling was laying in a heap in a pile of hat boxes, but appeared to be breathing. The remnants of the Golem were swiftly melting and water was beginning to pool around the roof stanchions. The platform had sustained some damage, but it would all be repaired easily, and Samael made a mental note to contact the Bursar’s Office to make sure works were completed. Malifaux station was vital to the image of a lawful society, and a public skirmish between the Guild and Arcanists may not demonstrate the image of Malifaux that the Guild wished to portray. The quicker the damage was repaired, the better. Samael looked up into the bright blue sky. Rasputina was gone, and with her another chance of apprehending the entity known as December. Samael shook his head, and gathered up the surviving Witchling, which groaned. “You think you have problems? I have to explain this to Sonnia.” ++++ Emmet looked out from behind the crate he was concealed behind. He was clutching a quite severe wound in his left shoulder, which was weeping blood on to his new “going away” clothes. Emmet slowly stood up and looked around the devastated platform. The laboratory at the Institute suddenly seemed a lot more appealing…

Hello everyone, After seeing the twisted, yet beautiful, miniatures on the web, I have just leapt into Malifaux. I have built a Badlands board and have the Seamus, Lady J and Viktorias boxed sets on my desk ready for paint. I have been wargaming for 20+ years, starting with Rogue Trader, and then progressing through all GW games including Man O'War and Dark Future. I also play DnD, Flames of War, Victory at Sea, DBM, Underground, oh hell, this list is way too long! I havent been captivated by a setting like I have been by Malifaux for many years, and I cant wait to get stuck into the painting. I will aim to get some photos of my terrain and some fiction on the boards asap. Unfortunately, I have a full time job and my long suffering wife is expecting our first baby soon, so real life tends to spoil my gaming plans! Anyway, thats me, hope to "speak" to you all soon. Dan PS: Great game mechanics. I have played and beta-tested a lot of games of the years, and this is top notch. Congrats to the designers.
