Axl Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hello, Me and my fiancée are looking to get into wargaming and Malifaux seems to be the perfect choice for us ashy seems affordable and looks great. We bought the rule book, but I am a bit confused as there are some miniatures that are not present in the book. If I understand correctly these missing miniatures are in the crossroads book. My question is: do we need the crossroad book to play malifaux? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breng77 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Simply put no you don't. Either you can play with wave one only, or simply use the model rules found on the cards. So you can simply buy the second wave faction arsenal decks, to obtain the rules for models found in crossroads. Or if you wait for plastic models you will get the cards with those models. I recommend buying crossroads if you want the fluff and special scenarios (or rules for all wave 2 models, not just one faction), but it contains no core game rules needed to play the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierowmaniac Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Breng77 is completely right. Just to add most of the background stories in Crossroads are pretty good reads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirial Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Breng77 is completely right. Just to add most of the background stories in Crossroads are pretty good reads Yep. I'm through most of them now, and they are so much fun. Anyway, the book shouldn't be at the top of your buying list. Arsenal decks are the better investment for beginners. (Although if you don't know what to buy, it's the best way to see all Wave 2 models in one place.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Thank you for your answers. I think we will buy the book later on, as we have already decided what crew we want to start with (Mei Feng for me and Lady Justice for my fiancée) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hateful Darkblack Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 You guys are in for a treat. Malifaux is my first wargame too and I love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smell slug fests in the air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
