Popular Post Kyle Posted July 17, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hey Wyrdos, This week, we got a call from Waldo in Chattanooga. Apparently, he either has a fear of flying or really enjoys the summer heat, so he started walking to Indianapolis by himself. That wasn’t even the reason why he called, though. He just wanted to let us know that he used the company card to get some good barbeque. At least he got a head start; those stumpy little legs are going to take a while to get to Gen Con. Will you be at Gen Con? Maybe you’ll be able to beat him to be the first in line to scoop up some of the new Malifaux products! You can find a list of the new Malifaux content that will be at the big event below (not including the Nightmare Crew, Faction Packs, Faction Decks, and Faction Books, which will also be there in limited quantities). If you’re interested in everything we’ll have at Gen Con (and online during the Gen Con sale), make sure to give tomorrow’s newsletter a read. NEW Malifaux Releases WYR23309 Rasputina Core Box* *online only WYR23410 Euripides Core Box* *online only WYR23101 Basse Core Box WYR23102 Lucius Core Box WYR23104 Lady Justice Core Box WYR23201 Von Schtook Core Box WYR23218 High Society (Bete Noire, Dead Doxy x2, Dead Dandy x3) WYR23301 Marcus Core Box WYR23302 Burning Bridges (Elijah, Firebranded x3, Fire Golem) WYR23303 Colette Core Box WYR23401 Dreamer Core Box WYR23402 Deep Sleep (Stitched Together x3, Daydream x3) WYR23501 Viktoria Core Box WYR23502 Loyalty to Coin (Big Jake, Taelor, Student of Conflict) WYR23601 Som'er Core Box WYR23602 Hootenany (Georgy & Olaf, Banjonistas x 3) WYR23603 Deliverance (Spit Hog, Bayou Gremlin x 4) WYR23701 Youko Core Box WYR23713 One Born Every Minute (Huckster x3, Desper LaRaux) Last, but certainly not least, here’s one more art preview before the Faction Books come out and reveal what every character and model will look like in Malifaux Third Edition. You might have already seen the brilliant (no, you’re brilliant!) update to his loyal Lynch-pin on our website, but here is the updated look for our favorite fervent monstrosity, the Hungering Darkness. Have a look! That’s it from us. We’ll update you on how far Waldo gets next week. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesy Blue Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 1. how are the Banjonista's not in the box called "Deliverance"? 2. Is Huggy getting more... humanoid? 3. I was kind of hoping the Vik's box would be back a couple of months so I wouldn't have to buy it right away... now I gotta buy more before recovering from the last splurge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinroz Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Has there been any word on when the models will be available single outside of the boxes, the new ones I mean. I remember it being said that the new models would be purchasable by themselves, but not any more than the announcement. I love Georgy and Olaf, but already have banjonistas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit- they said they were doing both options so it's which works best for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fetid Strumpet Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Did they give a timeline for when those orders would be able to start. I already have 2 Bete Noire and 2 Doxies so I really don’t want to get another full set of each just for the Dandies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longfanz Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 The gremlin split is a big nonsense, why not put every new model in the same box? It forces us, the veteran players, to buy everything on special order as it will only be available for 1 year. This means a lot of models for people that has been playing a bit and have 3 or 4 faction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinroz Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 The Banjonistas are the only ones I'm trying to avoid personally. I love the new somer, have a project in mind for the skeeters, and only have 5 bayous currently. Lenny I may turn into a second spit hog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny I may turn into a second spit hog Being a Somer player you at least have four bayous so to max out the spit hogs you will end with 12 at minimum... Having the opportunity to make two spit hog sculpts and selling them in a box and doing this is pretty bad IMHO On the other hand they should release the boxes details (and stop making us guess from odd names and product codes) to help us, the veterans, to pick single models if possible. How a veteran player picks abuela now (for examole)? Not included in the special orders program... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's specifically designed so that you don't have to end up with a bunch of duplicate sculpts of models you already own. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving that is nearly impossible to buy some faction packs in Europe rn we'll see how such program works and if It worths it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the opportunity to make two spit hog sculpts and selling them in a box and doing this is pretty bad IMHO The decision to consolidate boxes was not to frustrate veteran players, but to accommodate both new players and store owners. We've cut down just under 200 SKUs in our game while releasing many more models in the process. I'm sorry if you can't see that as a huge victory for store owners and players, but it is for multiple reasons. Having as many boxes and products as we have had in the previous edition made it difficult for stores to continuously stock (shelf space is a commodity for any game) and for new players to understand what to buy. New players means growing communities, which in turns means a healthier community overall for all of our players. We created the Special Order program for this very reason - so that our existing players would not be frustrated with having to buy models they already own. This is no small task for us, but we are doing everything we can to ensure new and old players alike can enjoy Malifaux for years to come. 6 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longfanz Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I understand It and It is ok for me but in this particular case will have been easier to put toghether new models not a mix of old and new. Oh, and please, tell us how things are going to be repacked to help us plan accordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Crossing my fingers hoping Special orders will be available in Germany. I know it's not your fault but most likely a distrubutor issue but the last time I checked my go-to store and thei Distributor had no clue at all. I like the hootenany box because I don't own banjonistas yet - so I got lucky and this will be a buy for me. The Deliverance-Box however… I'm not so sure about that. Do I get this Right? Spit Hogs are Minon (2) but there will be only one in the box? So there is also just one sculpt? If so I will most likely just end up using old Major and the sow as stand ins since I don't really Need any more bayou gremlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagerPayload Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 While I do appreciate the condensing of boxes for store owners is a good thing the issue is the contents of the boxes. Them being half old half new is particularly bad because as this is ultimately pushing people like me away from buying these models at all. The special order system might work somewhat well in the US but internationally it will be a struggle. I'm from Australia meaning that we have shipping costs like crazy to the level where my annual Gencon order always ends up being double the price because of shipping ($100 USD shipping is a real thing). Having special orders for people in my local community and I would say a large portion of my country will not work as the price will probably be similar or higher than the retail box with the doubled up models. What should've happened is the new go with the new and the old go with the old. That way we will not have to worry about ridiculous costs or having extra models collecting dust. This is a really unfortunate situation because I want to have all the models but I dont want to have an excessive price tag connected to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedbug Huggy... the less said about him, and I was never a fan of the Alt version. This one, on the other hand, is great! As long as the sculpt lives up to it, but luckily Wyrd are the one company that has a great art-to-model conversion success rate, so I'm not too worried!
