Malifaux - The greatest game that nobody plays

Earlier on this summer I found myself browsing through the Wayland Games website looking at all the different games out there. I saw category called "WYRD MINIATURES" and scoffed. "What a stupid nerdy name.. OOOOOH, so elite to spell it with a Y. That's dumb." I must be dumb too, because I clicked on the link. To my surprise I saw the coolest models I have seen in a long time. The Legion of Sorrows box set is what initially caught my eye. The Sorrow models in particular.



Next I saw the price. $31 for a starter box of 6 awesome minis? NO WAY! Then I did a bit of research. For a starter box of minis, the small rule book (which you can also download for free from their website), a fate deck (Malifaux doesn't use dice, it uses a card system to determine the outcome of actions) and shipping all for less then the price of a box of GW terminators! CAN NOT GO WRONG WITH THAT.
The only downfall is that not many people in town play.
Here are the models I have so far:


My gang


Pandora and her Sorrow


Sorrows


Baby Kade


Teddy


Candy



The Terror Tots


The game of Mailfaux combines the genres of gothic horror, wild west, steam-punk and vicoriana. So if you're looking for a new game and can't decide what to play, try out Malifaux.
For approximately $55 dollars you can have everything you need to play!
If anyone is interested in playing, shoot me an email. I'm trying to develop a pool of players. I also have a sign up sheet at Imagine Games and Hobbies as well. I actually have a game lined up on monday from that sheet. It will be my second game EVER!

  1. Our gaming group has started to look at Malifaux. I'm going to drop by Imagine tomorrow and check out boxed sets.

  2. I am going to pick up the Outcasts. Either Leveticus or Hamelin, they are both cool...

  3. Once there is a few more players in town, I would like to maybe get a small beginner event/tournament going.
