  1. Hey All, I have a Santana model new in box, still wrapped. I'd be looking to either sell it or trade for some terrain. I'd be willing to ship international but buyer is responsible for shipping and any associated import fees.
  2. Hello all, I will be at Millennium games this labor day, all day. OK well I need to eat at some point but I will be there most of the day! I will be demoing Malifaux, as well as playing other games depending on who shows up with what. We have the day off of work, let's play some games. As far as crews I have painted crews for every faction & mostGen1 Masters. I'm sure we can accommodate you. If you have any questions please feel free to PM me. I hope to see some new faces there Address: Millennium Games 3047 W Henrietta Rd, Rochester, NY 14623
  3. Hey all, I will be at Millennium games weekly on Tuesdays starting at around 10am. I am always free to demo, and if I'm not I'll make time after whatever game I am currently playing to get you in. Feel free to stop by and ask, and check here periodically for time updates. Due to my work schedule the time I leave / arrive is subject to change. Though you can always PM me to confirm a time! Thanks, and I hope to see people there.
  4. Hey Everybody, I got another request to do Demos on Tuesdays at Millennium. I'm almost always there anyway but I will have my Malifaux stuff and have a table setup to demo. I'll be there from 5-close definitely. I may be there earlier however I cannot guarantee that as I do need to sleep after work but there is always something going on with the Tuesday group. If you want to shoot me a pm or reply I'll let you know when I head over. Let me know if there is any crew in particular you want to play. I have pretty much everything from Malifaux Classic and I hope to see you there.
  5. I will be there again this, and pretty much every, Tuesday if anyone is interested.
  6. Hey all, I'm usually at Millennium games on Tuesdays from 2-10 and have heard some interest in Malifaux. I will have my Malifaux stuff with me if anyone is interested in learning the game. I have more than enough models for someone to play any master/crew from malifaux classic they want however I do not have any of the masters or crews that debuted in M2E. Hope to see you there.
  7. Hey all! Long time no post, but I'm running a 2015 Hobby Challenge over at reddit.com/r/Malifaux. Each month you are responsible for painting a mere 10SS worth of models per month. More is great but 10 is the minimum. Each month will have a "painting contest" where the entry is your entry for the hobby challenge (Talk about double dipping). For those of you who value SERIOUS triple dips I have allowed any iron painter entries to count for this challenge, provided they were started and completed during said month. Check us out over at reddit.com/r/malifaux, the contest is the stickied post but we have a great growing community. All are welcome, there is ZERO entry fee so what do you have to lose? NOTHING!
  8. Hey all. I have for sale 1 Miss Terrious and 1 Santana model. The only Santana model on ebay is going for $150 OBO while Miss Terious is sitting at $75 OBO. I'm open to any offers before I list them on Ebay i thought I'd give the community first dibs. Please pm me with any questions, both models are still on sprue and come M2E cards.

    I don't see the scheme & strategy decks up on the webstore? Are they not going to be available during Gencon or should I hold off placing my order?

  16. @ Fetid I did post it somewhere else, but I also disliked the direction change in books 3 & 4 but like you say with the... impact?.... of it happening to models I've known & gotten used to it may have provoked a stronger reaction, looking back I also dislike most of the masters alt sculpts.
  17. For me it's not a matter a paint job can fix it's the detail. The sculpts tend to be true to the concept art & these just don't look right.
  18. I just saw the art for pre orders on the war store (http://imgur.com/a/o4Xod#0) and I know it's been around but I wanted to rant a bit. so forewarning this is very critical & negative. For me all the new art is bland. It reminds me to much of 40k & Call of Duty. let's make it gritty & grim dark & edgy and brown. Brown & grey with some dark outlines & a dark wash. Look at seamus his box art has ZERO character to it compared to his old art. It looks forced, it looks crappy & it looks neutered. I liked the insane yet self proclaimed cultured look he had going where he might seem normal if a little off until he pulled out his bag of tricks, now he just looks like the ********* down the street. On the viks, they used to be bounty hunters. Cold, cool, calm. Now they look like 3DGY 15 year olds with daddy issues. So do a lot of the ronin they don't look like mercenaries they look like my 15 year old sister going through an emo/slut phase. The gremlin faces look like complete arse. What used to be redneck hillbillys with flavorful poses of quirky idiocy now look like little imps from warcraft. Lady J used to be a femme fatale, "full figured" and in the story described as gorgeous as she was deadly. I got the feeling of her that if you made a cat call at her she'd either smirk & take it as a compliment or separate your head from your shoulders, depending on mod. Now I see kill bill in a cut off. Look a Nino, please look at nino & try to tell me he's still the punk young cousin whose got a knack for sharp shootin & not just a guild rifleman with a repeater. He's not in that album but you can find his picture around. Lilith looks too much like uma thurman in pulp fiction. She used to be the mother of monsters, eerily seductive but there was something "wrong" now she doesn't even look evil, just 3DGY with her pants literally undone. The only reason I'd consider buying the box is for barbaros & in the end I may just find a stand in / proxy until I can get him solo on ebay. Yeah it's a bit of a rant and while I don't hate M2E rules, the art makes me not want to buy any of the models. It doesn't feel like malifaux a character driven skrimish game it feels like malifaux, this **** is what's popular everywhere else so why not here? I like soul in my models, something to set them apart from anything else & make them unique & the new art lacks soul to me.Then again I'm the guy who did: A pimp named seamus - Seamus as A pimp named slickback from boondocks A bigger blacker pimp - A.seamus with a darker skin Courage & Scooby - Canine remains Freaky Fred - McMourning Shaggy Rogers - Rafkin Huey Dooey Louie - 3 Necropunks Barney Gumble - A Drowned Buckingham Palace Guards - 2 Guild Riflemen Reptile, Smoke & Scorpion - Torakage Raiden - Kang Lord Chara Bits - Chompy with a Big Z jersey lifting the cup. (In design) If you'd like to see any of those I plan on posting them later. Edit: I just showed the old/new comparison to my friend, in a simple side by side with no input from me, never been into mini gaming & never seen any of the malifaux models but he's a graphic designer and aside from rasputina, who he likes the newer better, he strongly prefers the new ones & on seeing the viks comparison flat out said "That just offends me, that looks bad & the designer should feel bad"
  19. Whose idea of a joke was it to tack on an additional SS to the cost of these models? My joke aside, for their cost they just seem quite lackluster. Honestly I probably won't even bother with the box set barring some gorgeous models I cna proxy with other things or fantastic synergy with Molly / other Horrors. Also while story encounters can be fun & cool I bought into malifaux as a tabletop minis game. If I want to run story encounters as one offs I'll go play DND minis. Hopefully this isn't the direction we're going to see.
  20. Date: August 4th Time: 1pm - 5pm Place: Boldos Armory 891 Monroe Ave So some people have expressed interest in malifaux but stated the rules were a bit complicated for their liking, they were waiting on the change to plastic or they just didn't know much about it so I figured it's high time I get back into malifaux gear. We'll be using the most recent beta V2 rules from the open beta so please anyone who attends bear in mind that these rules are to learn the base mechanics & are not indicative of the final product. No supplies are necessary but if you have your own crews feel free to bring them & if the cards were available we'll play them, if not there are plenty of new toys to try out.
  21. Hmm, time to buy the old metal gremlins then...
  22. This is one thing I don't like about the switch to plastic. However, the box sets dropped in price so it offset it. Also on the topic of the podcast I enjoyed it. Both parties raised some good concerns, many I agreed with and some I didn't. I can't wait to hear the art style discussion because I feel that is one of my major gripes just about the general direction of the game. One of the points that struck me was the comparison to WM/H. I get there's a slight bit of that feel but it's nothing major where I'd call them that similar yet. I play WM/H and that has a distinctive battle feel to it while M2E still feels skirmish to me with less emphasis on killing, granted it now has more emphasis in my mind than V1 did. The concern over the markers struck me as odd. In my games there never were that many scheme markes but you got me thinking if a model doesn't have much to do then just Wk and scheme to throw your opponent off and get extra insurance. Using this tactic especially with swarm, which as you said seems like the next big thing, could clutter the board. Finally I wanted to put up one question to the both of you. Do you feel like the improvement of swarm over elite crews is a bit of a backlash against how good some of the elite crews were? With the 7+ SS models that were just plain good all over and saw a lot of use? I'll draw a comparison to 40k where assault used to be a very strong phase & now with the new rules it's rarely used except by armies/units purely designed for it. ---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ---------- IIRC Bill mentioned near the end that the next episode was going to be with someone who really likes M2E to provide the counter point.
  23. Play M2E but regret the loss of “Old Feeling”of Malifaux 1.5 I just got into playing again and after 1 game in store played a bunch with some friends. I regret the change in art style as I really liked the almost cartoonishness or previous books compared to the 50 shades of brown in the more recent stuff. I think a lot of characterization is lost with some characters, Nino being particularly glaring in my mind. He was the hotshot youngin' sniper and now he looks like something out of CoD 1912 / Bioshock. I think the streamlining & stripping down of models rules / spells is a good business decision, I know people have stated complexity as a barrier to entry but I will miss some of those spells that while only useful 1:10 games were really fun to use when they worked. The game mechanics still feel like malifaux and there have been many improvements. My main issue that I regret is the loss of character from books 1 & 2. I always introduced Seamus as a nutjob walks into a house of ill repute, slaughters the once callgirls and resurrects them zombie hooker nightmare style. Which usually got a lot of laughs. I guess you could say for me the soul of the game seems to be moving more nitty gritty grimdark and less from the characterful sillyness which is one of the things that attracted me to the game. But this change is evident when you look at the books in order, the art style just changes particularly noticeable in book 3. A game has to grow & evolve, and as I state with any rule changes in hockey (I'm a ref) I think this is the direction wyrd (or USA Hockey ) has decided to take the game and I will continue to support is as nothing has pushed me that far yet\ as to leave it. That said I'm buying the crap out of the V1 models but I like metal
  24. Yes there are always prizes, depends on the number of participants / where you are located. For those across the pond I tend to do a paypal gift (to save me on shipping costs). For those in NA/SA I have a prize box with different tiers for different participation levels.
  25. If you want in go ahead I post in NA as that's where I am but being online it's open world wide.
