GMort Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 An unboxing and review of the two-player starter set. Half of it is Guild so I thought this would be an appropriate place to post it...http://gmortschaotica.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/unboxing-malifaux-malifaux-starter-set.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiralvorkraft Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Those look massively better than the renders. Box jumped up from "probably buy" to "absolutely, definitely buy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizuriel Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 any fluff in the book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solkan Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) any fluff in the book?A little bit. There are four diary/log book entries scattered about which give a bit of context to the encounters.Otherwise, the background material for the models in the starter set is in Shifting Loyalties.

zFiend Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Those look massively better than the renders. Box jumped up from "probably buy" to "absolutely, definitely buy."Actually.. Quite the contrary for me, those models looked really good and nice in the Renders and Art but as models.. Ugh. Not good. The tape measures being such cheap looking throw 'em in's as well I think this box went from I'm gonna buy it to a nooooooope. I was thinking of halving it with a Neverborn buyer so I'd get the Guild side, but after seeing this unboxing and those models and the content closer this dropped out of my buy list.Great unboxing again Gmort! You do great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I don't think I'll be going for this box either, be it for the Guild or Neverborn models. While the flavor is there with the Asylum models, the scuplts are ...lacking somewhat for me. Also, they don't bring much, if anything I would need. So nope. Pass on this one.

admiralvorkraft Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I will say Grimwell/Heartsbane are a little disappointing, but I think the minions all look fantastic, Angel Eyes looks good, and the Scion is surprisingly decent. I mean, I'm mostly getting them for their rules, but still.As for the rulers? I'm just glad they aren't GW style whipping sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
