Otylia Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hi Everyone - Thought I'd throw in a formal introduction Years ago, I used to do some GW gaming - but really I was most interested in it for the painting and eventually fell out of the hobby all together. Recently I decided I really wanted to get back into painting minis, but didn't want to paint 20 of the same guy at a time. So I started looking around at skirmish level games and loved what I saw in Malifaux - INCREDIBLE minis, addictive fluff, and a pretty novel game system. So here I am, getting to know the community and the gameplay, catching up on fluff, deciding on a master (I was thinking Pandora/Neverborn, but the more I read the more characters I fall in love with... McMourning, Lucius, Gremlins....), and brushing the cobwebs off my painting skills with some old bloodbowl characters a buddy of mine had. Oh - and being incredibly incredibly inspired by some of the incredible talents I've seen on the boards already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirial Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Welcome to Malifaux! Yeah, it's an awesome game. It's good that you dig into the reading material before you decide on a Master. Many people wouldn't have the patience. I can see, however, that it doesn't mitigate the core problem: Every model is so cool that one wants them all. Have fun on the forums!

PraetorDragoon Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 (0) Welcome to Malifaux! Like the other stooges said, feel free to ask questions if you need those. Don't worry about picking your starter master, you will collect them all in no time. And don't worry about thread derailment, that happens all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 An oath I shall keep to my friend. How does every thread I read have you two hashing it up? lol On topic: welcome! Having read the Neverborn story for the next book recently, it made me like Pandora a lot more. A solid choice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having read the Neverborn story for the next book recently, it made me like Pandora a lot more. A solid choice. Hehe, I managed to dodge the bullet on this one! Pandora is getting new fluff?! That is awesome! I've been eyeing her up recently myself. A friend picked her up and she's incredibly fun yet frustrating to play against. She keeps you on your toes a lot! You'll have a laugh playing with her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 How does every thread I read have you two hashing it up? lol Yeah.. We have a bit of a problem.

Dirial Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 How does every thread I read have you two hashing it up? lol I have no explanation. It just... kind of... happens. Having read the Neverborn story for the next book recently, it made me like Pandora a lot more. A solid choice. That is evil! Foreshadowing without spilling is evil.

admiralvorkraft Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Well you guys are just no help at all. Otylia shows up wanting to play Neverborn and here we are, 12 replies in, and no one is trying to convert them? They even gave you both a way in. Kids these days... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetorDragoon Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 We don't even have to do anything. Eventually he will look at the Belles and think "hmm, these look cool" and suddenly he has the Ressers collected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otylia Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks for the warm welcomes, the Walter White meme, and the fluff teaser!! Looking forward to getting into things more and more... And in that vein - Can anyone tell me a bit about VASSAL? I've seen some references around the threads but I don't know much about it.

Dirial Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I'll leave that question for zFiend and MD. They are the stooges who know anything about it, and I'm not polluting this thread with things I know nothing about. Which might be a first, actually.

zFiend Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Vassal is module where you can play Malifaux with all the models made. It's a great testing ground for trying out models you are looking to buy or just to play against people around the world. It's a great platform and Malifaux transforms there really well.

MasterDisaster Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Totally, Vassal is a fairly simple and easy to learn program that wargamers can use to play each other online. The Malifaux Module gives you every model in the game available as well as a bunch of cool maps and you can get cracking. zFiend and I use it from time to time to humiliate each other or ourselves whilst we play test new Masters, models or combo's against each other which wouldn't normally be possible as I live in England and he's a filth mongering viking from Finland It's fairly simple, quick to learn and doesn't take that much longer than a regular game so long as you have access to a mic and aren't drunk half the time although I shan't be mentioning any names as to who I'm referring to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetorDragoon Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hint: The drunk one starts with an M. Mirial? Vassal is a neat program if you can't meet people otherwise. Such as if they are located on the other end of the world. I won't say it does substitute normal play though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
