excited to eventually play some faux also, and see what the communities been up to.

I'm in for minion.  Need to ease back into malifaux.

here we go!

Mainly was most interested in the conceptual changes.  I got a little off target with trying to figure out what I needed.  But seems most everything is still awesome!  

I have all the old metals.  Maybe lost love and the Philip model may have to rise from out of the green stuff but other than that I should be fine.

Story encounters rule.  We used to play the krampus one every Christmas.  ?

Looks like I'm gonna fire up the old paintbrush and start crack'a'lackin!

cool 2 player box sets?  Maybe pick one up for the classroom.

Thanks! Was a bit confusing.  Seems the wave 2 Arsenal boxes are still available.  So I think I have this right, I can get that and then the shifting campaign deck and be caught up?

i only have rezzer models so I don't need the generalist deck if I get wave 2 Arsenal right? 

Then at least I'm caught up and the rest I can buy when I can afford the fluff.?

Not terrible I guess.

So I guess the next question is what do I need to get?

i know I have plenty of models and I dug through and found the M2e A5 sized manual and Arsenal wave 1 deck for rezzerz and mercenaries.  Don't even remember getting those really.

what else do I need?  Wave 2 ?  Wave 3 decks?  I see m2e has 3 books?  There's also a scene deck and general upgrade decks for books 2 & 3?

little lost.  All necessary?

I think we all know that true balance is unattainable but to hear that it's very close is great.

any other conceptual shifts people can point out?

what about terrain and special terrain?  Still important?  I used to love going in and out of buildings and the like.

Hmm.  Really like the idea that most all models are a lot more viable and masters are less critical in terms of power.  Has everyone else found this to be true?  It's so boring seeing the same squad compositions over and over.  Does M2e allow for a myriad of viable options?  I definitely like the sound of that.

thanks Fetid.

Thanks big for the avatar update and thanks to everyone who keeps adding in here.

Wow you guys are great!  Answers already.?

Have there been been a lot of new crews released?

Do the factions generally have the same gameplay as they used to?  Are they still very different from one another?

what ended up happening with avatars?

Ok, this is a 1st edition to M2e post.  Apologies if this info exists elsewhere I have tried to search and all I find is the specific rules that changed.  I.e. 35 went to 50 ss for game size.  Models now have upgrades , etc.

My questions are about the integrity and overall feel of the game and how it has changed?

Played quite a bit of the original malifaux and LOVED the game.  Hands down everything about it I liked.  Small model count, intricate interactions, alternating turns, several options for winning.

Long story short my game group drama bombed out of existence at the same time the rules were shifting.  I tried to keep up but all the negative vibes on the forums and doom made me just stop being interested in following the development of the game.  Now that it's finally finished and released I was hoping to get some feedback on:

Is the game still awesome?  

What are the biggest shifts in gameplay? Not rules but how the overall game feels?

Is it still as intricate? synergies?

Is the game growing?

What about the community? It seemed pretty rocky last time I checked?

hows tournament play?

im very much thinking about getting back into it and would love some honest thoughts!  Thanks everyone!

been outta the loop for the last 8 months after second child appeared? but starting this year im planning to jump back in to malifaux pretty solid.. you can find me and my groups blog here:

www.livetocrush.com

I plan to wind my way through my painting stuff and how my games are going... if you click on the wyrd logo towards the top of the blog you can filter only malifaux posts and galleries which makes this blog better.. if you scroll through you should be able to find some sweet krampus battles! happy holidays.

nah dude, you'll be fine.....

So in all honesty how many corpse counters and how many body part counters do you normally have on the table during your average game of malifaux?

How many is the MOST you've ever had at one point in a game?

trying to finish off my set of things and possible put some stuff out there for other peeps to enjoy and was wondering what the numbers were?

THE BEST EVER! the mage on the cover had this sick yellow shirt with blue stars and moons and the barbarian squating there with hair a flowin in the wind! i can still remember being completely entranced at the comercial when they slide the open door on the room and gargoyle is lookin baddassery! nice...

first 2 models i ever painted!

nothing like waiting to the last minute.... heh....yikes... still plan on pulling through though!

illustrator? whats your texture technique?

wizdom - nice avatar - did you draw that yourself?

im down to hooking you up with some stuff? things can be made quick and cheap i guess but i was looking for something a little better too. so i sculpted up and made a mold of some stuff...

heres the master sculpts for some:

heres how some of the stuff came out and looks:

cart came out great!

body part counters:

different combo's so each counter is a little different!

corpse counters: just have to glue to a base... although these are a little long but chopped at the knee they look perfect!

dynamite!

book tokens and a set of objective markers based on clue... poison bottle.

bag of soulstones:

tons of scatter terrain ive made... carts barrels etc etc...

private message me but these are my tokens ive been slowly messing with.. ive got more now but these are the only photos i think i have?

oh.. heres an arcane apparatus i still have to print and mold but it seems pretty cool so far?
