I second Hoffman; analyse weakness, coupled with armour on the augmented keywords coupled with the fact he has some proper beatsticks within his keyword really helps. Plus with the hunters harpoon guns if you can't always crack the armour you have ready access to pulling them out of position 🙂

Yup I agree toss is great. Tossed Hoffman at an already activated Perdita Ortega yesterday which gave me enough actions with Hoff to box her and place a scheme marker for a crucial VP.

Just for running scheme markers or is there a utility to them that I'm not getting?

As for his playstyle with guild is it basically form a block around him and use the watcher and a single hunter to run schemes?

Forgive the ignorance but isn't Ryle now dead mans hand only? I'd like to keep tournament legal if possible. Cheers for the advice 🙂

Hi all, Very new back to the game having not played since 1st ed. Have a Hoffman crew that I have been playing straight out of the box. Do people have any suggestion for what to add to the crew to make it a bit more well rounded? Hunters are great but I find I'm not getting a huge amount of value out of the Watcher.

And yet I beat the statistics and live in Drogheda 😂 What way was the Cork community organised? was it a case of a weekly meet in a FLGS? Also have you called a Texan a Langer yet? How did that work out?

Yes that's correct. But Cork is the South West coast of the country whereas I'm North-East and a 4 hour drive away. I'm closer to Dublin which is much more populous than Cork with better infrastructure and several gaming stores and clubs but No Malifaux since probably 2013 at the latest hence looking for ideas on how to build a community from the ground up 🙂

That makes a lot of sense. I was just contemplating the hechman role as there's next to no visibility in Ireland for Wyrd. The PP tournament scene died a death over here with the press ganger cull and it just really seems that without some kind of figurehead/organiser non-GW games seem to run out of steam. Has that been your experience too?

Hi all, I've recently picked up some new plastic sets to replace my tired first ed metals and am looking to try and grow a Malifaux community. There are quite a few wargamers in the area and I attend a club weekly as well as living within driving distance of 3 flgs. Problem is nobody stocks Wyrd minis in their stores and nobody bar myself plays. Any suggestions for how to grow a community? Should I just immediately apply for a henchman position and pester store owners to let me run demos? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The change from 2e to 3e is exactly why I'm getting back into the game. I played during 1st ed but shelved it for a couple of years as there was no big uptake in the area. When I tried to revive the community for 2e the rules bloat and huge amount of model specific rules made it prohibitive for new players. The streamlined 3e system has finally made the game accessible enough for me to try ressurect a community here and I'm delighted with how it looks an plays.

Hi all, Long time fan of the game finally getting back into thw groove after last playing the game in 2012. The Malifaux community in Ireland outside Cork is non-existent as far as I can tell. I'd like to try change that and inspire some more former Wyrdos to crawl back out of the woodwork. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
