Popular Post Waldo Posted July 20, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 Hey Wyrdos! This week, Joss when we thought we got to the K.O.R.E. of preventing Waldo’s machinations, he tried making a trebuchet out of office supplies. All of us became Watchers as Waldo’s contraption somehow flung itself into the air and left its paper ammunition on the ground. We all think it’ll need some Creative Salvage to get working again. Despite its spectacular failure, the trebuchet got us all in a medieval mood. Every year, we release alternate models for an existing crew box. These Nightmare Editions offer you different and visually stunning ways to play your favorite Masters and crews. Last year we had the Deepest Depths show us what lurks below; now, we journey to the far corners of legend once more. A castle rumored to have a mind of its own, a prince driven mad by forbidden knowledge, and his loyal servants Augmented so their forms can serve new purposes... Let’s take a look at this year’s Nightmare Edition models, and what’s in their first box, The Fallen Kingdom: As you might’ve guessed, the Augmented Keyword has gotten brand-new Nightmare looks: Emaciated Hollow Fiends fly overhead instead of Watchers. Joss and Melissa K.O.R.E. are represented by the colossal Porphyrion and the elegant Weeping Huntress, respectively. Little Stiltzkin has replaced the Mechanical Attendant, though we’re sure he’ll receive just as much love. Leading this force is Charles Hoffman, Inventor’s alternate, Lord Galehault, Fallen Prince. This is the first time we’ve included Titles in the Nightmare Editions, so you can bring either version of the Guild’s beloved engineer onto the field. If you’re looking to expand the Keyword, you’ll want to pick up their second box, Legend Reforged. This contains: The mighty Galvanic Wyrm is an imposing and dangerous replacement for a Peacekeeper. Lord Galehault himself, represents Charles Hoffman’s original version. This fiendishly handsome prince and his drake will be available for purchase online and at Gen Con as well. If you are looking to further expand your collection, The Walking Fortress box will be available later this year for Black Friday. It contains three Juggernauts, who serve as alt Riotbreakers. Lastly, it wouldn’t be a Gen Con celebration without a Miss model! Miss Tique takes to the stage this year as an alt Carlos Vasquez, ready to put the burn on her competition. For every $100 spent during Gen Con 2022, orders will get 1 Miss Tique included for free. Spend $200, get 2; spend $300, get 3, and so on. These unassembled boxes and more will be available on our webstore (and in person at Gen Con) during our Gen Con sale. This sale will last from Wednesday, August 3rd - Sunday, August 7th, so make sure you’ve got your wish lists sorted! That’s all for this week, Wyrdos. Next time, we’ll have a full breakdown of everything that will be available for sale, including a very curious group indeed… Bear Witness. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpannerRider Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 Keep on with the weekly delightful torments, this nightmare crew looks stunning, and here I was already considering Hoffman...and now, now this twist in the plot? Miss Tique looks amazing and now I can grab her for a Kaeris crew sans the other performers...maybe, so many decisions to make! Also...next week, a whole week before the maybe reveal of the Witness keyword?! Oh the things you put us through...for which I at least thank you once again. My wallet is weeping...again. Oh and does anyone else look at this and the Rotten Harvest models and think the Library of All Things isn't as much under the control of the Ten Thunders as they think? These both scream of escapees to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 Wow! Those are stunning sculpts and a great looking crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsyBitsyFighter Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 This set looks amazing! I am getting major chess pieces vibes. Looking forward to painting them in a fallen statue paint scheme! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Laughing Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 Wonders what Guardians and Hunters will look like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chou Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Here comes my new Hoffman! This got to be one of the most impressive nightmare crews ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theamazingmrg Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 And that's (2!) more Hoffman models to add to my collection. Since McCabe went 10T/Explorers, its felt like Guild have been lacking in the alt model department, and this year, you've decided to brutalise my wallet in the best possible way. That complaint definitely isn't valid anymore! Between these guys and the Rotten Harvest models, I feel spoiled! Add to that Miss Tique to flesh out my Wildfire (Carlos was the only one missing), its going to be an expensive Black Friday (I'm waiting till then as I don't fancy paying the shipping to UK twice!)

Trample Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 I really like the alternative aesthetic this crew offers. The models look good enough that I almost want to buy them even though I prefer the standard Hoffman lineup. That's the really fun thing about alt models and Nightmare crews. They bring a whole different look that makes the hobby side more fun. So, although I probably won't be buying the nightmare stuff (I do have a tendency to change my mind) I will definitely spend enough to get the Miss Tique model. Good job Wyrd! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortarion Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Wow! Although I personally don't think the models fit the Malifaux aesthetic, they look absolutely AMAZING! I'm getting big Dark Souls vibes from them. Super cool design! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldGoth Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 Miss Tique is the perfect addition to my Performers. PERFECT. Will she be available as an individual purchase? It allows me to keep the Femme Fatales theme. Now I just need a female Harata Ngaatoro and I'll be set. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might even be available for purchase this sale, keep an eye out for the sales list that Wyrd will likely post later and visit their store during the sale period to check if no such list is posted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
