I've been reading up on the rules, tactics, and making a few lists, and I've come to this conclusion myself. My only hesitation was that marionnettes and wicked dolls might not "sync" well with zoraida, but reading her spells, she doesnt seem to need anyone to help her out, being able to make enemies and friendlies obey, and can get herself out of any tricky situations with raven, repulsion, and flying away. That, and I think the whole not letting people cheat fate, re-arranging the deck and stuff fits really well with the puppet aesthetic. And the whole vibe of malifaux I love. Consider me sold :')

Hi all, I'm wanting to do a Collodi crew, but I'm wondering whether it's worth taking Zoraida in it also. Collodi on his own, as a henchmen, limits me, whereas Zoriada effectively costs 8 pts (Free, but have to buy collodi for 8) Comes with a 5 cache, has a bunch of cool spells and abilities, but to anyone who's used either, do these spells augment the marrionnettes well? Thanks in advance, Jack

I'd maybe take that for £50 or £60, if everything else is in good condition. It's an amazing game. Amazing. Rivaled only by malifaux, and kings of war, in my experience, in terms of fun, tacticalness, fluff interaction and stuff

Great costume, you're a lucky man Might start trying to convince my girlfriend to dress up like a sexy showgirl :') That or a rotten belle

Hey all, I'm a mcmourning player, but amongst other things I'm currently modelling up a shambling hoarde of zombies for nicodem, and want to add the avatar of decay to my collection. There's no model yet, but I'm eager to make one. That said, what base size do you think would be appropriate? 40mm seems best to me, but I fear I'll struggle to fit a bunch of zeds on there, so might use 50mm. That said, If I make it 40mm and the actual model when released is on 50mm, I easily upsize the base, but will struggle to downsize if the opposite is true. Any thoughts?

So I could get away with a rulebook and a box of minis to start with? I'm not into "gaming-lite", I'll pick up everything I need to fully enjoy the game within a few months, but I'm after the bare essentials, to read and familiarize and read a bit of fluff about the setting. Again, one of my favourite parts about this hobby is getting all he little things together to complete an army, dice, objectives, counters etc, so the fate cards are definitely on my to get list. Might get some spares to play poker with whilst I'm at it. Thank you both for the info, I'm off to order some stuff

I have several 40k and WHFB armies, so obviously plan (moreso look forward to thanks to the low model count) to paint the models. I'm not amazing, but I can do a neat job thanks to washes and using a clean style, and it was the miniatures that drew me into this game to begin with. I should have a decent bit of spare cash to pump into malifuax and other games after selling off a lot of models I don't need anymore, and needing only a small band of models means I'm not so bothered about price (I'm not stupid with my money, but after paying upwards of £50 a unit for GW, I'm happy to spend the same amount on a company that I like the look of) I'm a bit conscious of spending a lot on stuff I don't need, wont use or, lord forbid, I end up painting a crew and disliking the game, hence the hesitation. Little bit at a time and trying not to overdose really. Cheers for that, all makes sense, I'll be sure to try to find one of these henchmen Unique piece of advice on the gaming group, exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for. I'll bear it in mind, and if it means I find a few more people to game with, all the better I suppose Thank you.

Just wanted to clear up a few issues, I've experience with miniature wargaming, and some TCG (though not competitive), and I'm jumping ship from GW and looking for something funky to fill that void in my hobby. I sort of get the gist of malifaux, and I love some of the models. I intend to start playing malifaux asap, but here's a quick couple of questions that came up. 1. What do I need to get started? Miniatures, rulebook and stat cards? I've heard a fate deck is the same as a normal playing card deck, is this true? I intend to get one (or several) anyway, but it's not crucial for a first few quick games? I have tape measures too. 2. Rulebook? I've seen the "rules manual", and the 216 page "rulebook". Which one is the current edition of the rules? or could someone explain the relationship between them, which one I'd need etc? I've seen rising powers, but I assume thats an expansion? 3. How do different fanctions play? is there a noticeable difference? I'm thinking of going with gremlins or ortenga, but like the guild aswell. 4. Finally, any other things I should be aware of? General points of interest, stuff like that. Thanks in advance, sorry for what I assume is a regularly occurring topic, I searched but couldnt find anything.
