The_Magician Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hello. My name Aaron and after a year of reading through the rule book I've finally decided to try this game out. I have to admit I chose Archanists because I got pulled in by Collet du'Bois' story and minis but I'm starting with Rasputina (because that's the only Archanist box set my LGS had). I've been into minitures for well over a decade and I've played both Warhammer Fantasy and War Machine. While I still play War Machine (mainly during Feb. to Sept.), the expense of Games Workshop and their ever changing rules (yes, rules need to be updated to keep things balanced but not at the rate they keep changing things) have ensured that it will be a long time before I go back to them. The regular players at the LGS switch over to Malifaux during the holiday season so I decided to read through the rulebook. My other hobby is video games. I usually only play 1 person console games but my brother let me play with his World of Warcraft and I decided to get a warchest copy (came with the original game and the first expansion) that I mostly play on my day off.

Narcissus Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Hi everyone. My name is Cameron. I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada. PM me if you are local and looking for a game. You might have seen me on other miniature forums or at my blog. I just recently picked up the Malifaux rulebook and have a Seamus starter set on order. I decided to start Malifaux to find some local skirmish games. My girlfriend was also interested in the models and I thought that Malifaux would make a nice introduction for her (less models to paint, more character). I primarily enjoy skirmish games (Mordheim and Deathsquads, a fan made 40k skirmish game) and dabble in Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40k. I really enjoy modelling, converting and building terrain and I am trying to improve my painting skills.

BreachBarfer Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hi folks, not sure if anyone is still looking at this thread, but my name is Andy, I'm in Salisbury, UK, I'm 27 and I'm a noob to Miniature gaming in general, though I once dabbled with 40K when I was in school. I'm primarily a Rper (pen/paper style) but a friend and I have been making moves into boardgames and miniatures recently with the opening of a new and much more accessible LGS. I'm looking forward to my first games of Malifaux and getting to know you all on the forums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hey there, My name is Christian. I'm 27, getting back into miniatures after 15 years off (I used to play some GW as a kid. I'm back at uni completing a law degree, my first career was in communications/public relations. I've just ordered a nice Kirai crew along with some sweet proxies (waiting on the shipment from the UK, I'm in Aus). I'm desperately searching for some painting tutorials and advice and am also keen to have my first game! Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frofgarm Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hello my name is james. I'm 49 and have been into minis and gaming for 42 years. I've been married for 32 yrs with 3 grown sons and 6 grandchildren. I am retired due to health reasons but was director of maintinance/safety director of a health care facility. I am hoping I can go back to college and finish my phd in Military History I have been playing Malifaux for a few months now. I played the showgirls in the last league at our store and just aquired the complete collection of gremlins that are out so far. Not real sure about winning with gremlins but they seem to be more of a fun army so far which suits me as i game to distract myself from the pain that comes from my health problems. Besides they look cool, gotta love pigs and gremlins.I Like the pigs, I have been playing Farrow in Hordes since they came out as a faction. I also play Warmachine/Hordes, Heavy Gear and Flames of War. I have DMed D&D, Twighlight 2000, Shadowrun and several other rpgs (very seldom played, I've always DMed). My first and true love in gaming is wargaming Napoleonics, I have extensive collections in both 28mm and 15mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicMushroom Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi all. I've been lurking on these forums for some time now, but because I haven't been playing Malifuax for very long, I haven't had much to say. I'm more of a painter/terrain builder than a gamer, so even though I have had the Malifaux Core rulebook for close to a year now, I only played my first game (using proxied models) a few weeks ago. I've also had Puppet Wars for about 6 months, but I haven't finished painting it yet, and so I haven't played but I'm really looking forward to it. Malifaux is very fun! I went out and bought the Death Marshals box set only a few days later, and even though I've got a good 300+ unpainted minis sitting on my desk for 4 or 5 different game systems, Lady J and the crew will be a top priority painting job for me in the upcoming months before school starts again. Once school starts, I'll be deeply entrenched in legal study. I probably will game even more rarely once that happens, but I will need to spend at least a little bit of time unwinding. So, if there are any of you in the Salt Lake City area that are up for a quick game (25ss, maybe?) Gimme a few weeks and then I'm only a PM away. :1_Happy_Puppet1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfgsteak Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi, I'm a new player from Denver, Colorado (USA). I got introduced to the game and a M:TG booster draft and decided it was time to get back into miniture gaming. I used to paint GW models but never really played the games. Malifaux looks like a really well designed,fun game and I decided to give it a go. I have enjoyed lurking and just decided to say hi and thanks for all the great info.

Linus Mcmold Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Howdy! McMold at your service. I was paroozing the countryside for a new interesting tabletop game after quitting my last gaming endeavor. I used to play Confrontation couple of years before (I actually started miniature gaming with BloodBowl), but my gaming community fell upon itself as it often happens and I got left with a ton of minis and no one to play with. All those metal people were too beautiful to just sell them off, so I used most of my minis for playing roleplaying games. That wasn't big enough of a motivation for me to finish painting what was left unpainted. Anyway one of the people from another gaming community introduced me to Malifaux and I instantly loved its background story, western feeling and the fact that you play game with Poker cards. I started with Zoraida, Marcus and Ophelia. I actually played my first game with Victorias, but I won't develop that crew too much at the moment (I'd like to convert Viks and their minions with a strong multiculti-Earthside theme). Presently I'm painting Ophelias gang for one of the competitions and it's going a bit too slow for my linking. Partly because of my rustyness, partly because of my college duties. I'm more of a sculptor than painter, but painting is my new favourite endeavor. There are at least four more crew/master combinations that I want to try out in the future. And of course I'm loving the idea for the upcoming RPG. I just hope the game dosn't get all fudged up with a morality system or something like that... Another of my friends who plays Malifaux told me what to look for on these here forums, so I'll get to that presently...

darthgus Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hi, I'm Angus McNicholl and I am a professional filmmaker living and working in Scotland. I am married with a daughter and my son is due to be born early in the new year (January 2013). This coming year I'll hit the big 40, and I've been a gamer since I was 9 years old. In my spare time I have written for various RPGs over the years, including Conspiracy X, Fading Suns, and Vampire City. In terms of miniatures, I came to the hobby through the usually GW route but quickly found their rules to... errr... sucky. So branched out in to Confrontation, Warmachine, and Infinity (and many many others). I've been aware of Malifaux since it was first released, but trying to get other players at my games club to branch out and experiment with the game has proved difficult. Perhaps 2013 will be the year it breaks through. Given my expanding family, diminishing finances, I'm attracted to games with a low model count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stodgy Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hi All, I’m Mick from Perth Western Australia. Some Friends bought me a Malifaux Crew for my last Birthday and now I’m beginning to paint and model them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adary Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi, I'm adary (in real world Yuval) from Rehovot, Israel. I started gaming when my age was a single digit, and now I'm slowly pushing toward the big 40 (Got a bit more to go though) so I can safely say that I've been a gamer for over 30 years. My wargaming was for years focused on GW games (WHFB since 4th edition, and WH40k since 2nd edition), and in the last few years i shifted toward Warmachine (and Hordes on ocasion). A few years ago I heard about Malifaux, but since there are no Malifaux players in Israel (at least none I know) I just followed with interest, and lately I decided that if I don't do something to bring it here, nobody will. Now I'm a proud owner of two crews (that will soon be painted and showed off in appropriate forum), and I'm learning to play the game using my wife and my best friend as victims Beside wargaming, I'm an avid scale modeller and miniature painter (even though I'm nowhere near competitive levels), and I'm also one of those horrible "I-won't-play-against-unpainted-armies" type of a guy. I also volunteer at the LGS for anything they need (including occasional painting classes and general painting and modelling advice). When not gaming and working on miniatures, I'm an IT professional, and an amateur musician. Rant over for now since I'm sure you guys have more important things to read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowyCragrat Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hello! My forum and DA name is SnowyCragrat. I am a fan of Fantasy, Sci-fi and Steampunk. I currently play the RPG version of a rival system called Anima. However, the wargames club that I attend has a large Mallifaux presence (especially in the north of England), so for over one, or two year(s) I have been interested in possibly playing a game or two, or collecting models at the least. I have now just bought my first crews, so I will hopefully have a game soonish. Also I might be running a Mallifaux RPG session at my club, or a campaign (depending on the groups) as I was very interested into the Kickstarter Campaign. erm... What else to say... I think that is all for now: I think I have introduced myself well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierzasty Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hello from Warsaw, Poland. There's not many (i.e. next to no) people playing MFX here, but hey, I have experience assembling wargaming groups, wo why not? Figured I'd change the threme for a while and hey, maybe I'll actually like the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 If you have no one in your general area, I'd definitely recommend Vassal! Also, welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierzasty Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'm not that keen on Vassal for the same reason I avoid online gaming - I prefer actual interaction with living people. Also, miniatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtUnliving Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Greetings, mortals. One of the masks of the Unliving has arrived into this realm. I will watch and learn your ways. Soon you will learn mine... Moving on from my alter ego, avast all. I'm a finnish gamer living down the south-west coast, currently involved in the quest called relationship. Living with a witch on Moon Mountain in the moorlands, near a river whose water is of dubious origins. I play Malifaux and Warmachine mainly, although as I started my gaming with Warhammer FB and later on 40k, trying to hold on to them a little (proving to be difficult with all those irritatingly bad rules, but that's just my opinion). I'm also an enthusiastic roleplayer and Larper, of which the latter has changed my life to the better. I hope I can give to this community and that Wyrd keeps up the good work it has so far.

Dravack Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Name is Mike I'm 26 and new to the world of Malifaux. But I have to say I love it.
