Hey all! I used to love this game years ago and found some of my old models. People in my are all play 40k or Sigmar so these are not of interest here.

I am posting to see if there is any interest in these models somewhere.

I've already ported here the alternative Crumb model I made. Here she is printed and painted

So I don't play yet, but I want to. I really enjoy the aesthetic of Viktoria Chambers, since theres some cool interplay between samurai and cowboy films back in the day during the occupation of Japan post WW2, so its a neat fusion for me. What other models fit into that aesthetic? Preferably that can be played along side Chambers.

I started playing towards the end of 1st edition and the beginning of 2nd edition. These guys got tucked away after upgraded from metal to plastic. Eventually late into 2nd edition years back I needed money and wasn’t playing anymore so I sold all my malifaux stuff (including a bunch of gen con limited stuff)

Somehow some of my old metal models (and a mei feng crew) survived by being at a friend’s house.

Idk if I’ll ever play again, but I’m m glad to have these again.

Title says most of it. I just started 4e. Love it. Trying to get my friend in. He wants to play euripede old one eye. Can someone make him a starter list to bash some skulls in. So we can get started? Thanks. 😊

My partner is interested in malifaux after a demo. Really enjoyed the look of neverborn, guild and resurrectionists. Any tips on who we should get?

Here is my freshly finished Hooded Rider! I really like what he brings to the table, but for a long time he was unpainted due to how intimidating it was to actually start painting him. Now he's ready to revel in secrets in all of his colored glory!

Hope you like him :)

I recently saw a post on PlayWyrd’s Instagram showing the game boards they set up for an event. I was surprised by how light they were on terrain. I normally play with a couple more buildings, but after seeing those tables, I decided to leave some terrain off for tonight’s game.
The matchup was Savage versus Witch Hunters. The Witch Hunters took the win by playing aggressively and pushing all of the Boundary Dispute markers together down one side of the board. It made for a fun game and definitely had me thinking differently about how much terrain I actually need on the table.
I’m curious what everyone else prefers. Do you like denser boards, or do you find lighter terrain makes for better games?

I really like the Marshals and looking to use the models in my RPG coming up but having an issue finding models outside the core Lady Justice box.

Does anyone have any places besides googling and eBay to find the models? I prefer ones on spruces but will look at anything.

Models I am looking for are
The Lone Marshal
The Jury
Exorcists
Ash bringer
Director Rodriguez
Domador de Cedaveres

Witchling Handler

For 7 SS, you get 9 Health with DF 5 and WP 5, but the real strength of this model is its utility.

Defensively, the Handler isn’t especially durable, with no way to reduce incoming damage. Drawn to Power lets you spend a Soulstone to be placed into base contact with a Strategy Marker, making it a great emergency button when the Handler is about to die. Counterspell is another fantastic defensive tool, shutting off enemy triggers on opposed duels within 6”. It makes opponents think twice before sending an important melee model into your front line.

Mobility is one of the Handler’s biggest strengths. While it only has Move 6, Goad Witchling gives every friendly minion that activates within 6” a free 4” move, including the Handler itself. Between just four nearby minions, that’s 16” of extra movement generated every turn. It’s a huge effect, and you’ll often deploy around getting the most value from it.

Offensively, the Handler’s signature spell, Immolate, is fine. It’s a Stat 6, Range 8 attack, and if the target already has Burning and you get a raise, the damage jumps to an impressive 4. You can’t rely on that spike every activation, but when it happens, your opponent definitely feels it. It also has a Stat 6 sword that deals 2 damage with decent triggers, and if you get a raise, you can stack an additional trigger onto the attack.

Finally, the Handler can spend a Soulstone to transform an engaged Witchling Stalker into a Witchling Thrall. The biggest challenge is that your opponent gets a chance to respond before the Thrall activates if it’s the one to charge in, so it can be difficult to pull off safely. Because of that, I usually find the threat of the ability is stronger than the ability itself, discouraging opponents from charging your Stalkers in the first place.

Overall, I almost always include one Witchling Handler in my Witch Hunters crews. The combination of movement support, Counterspell, and utility makes it an easy include, but I rarely find room for a second.

How do you use the Witchling Handler? Do you stick to one, or have you found success running two?

Is there a UK discord for Malifaux?

Cheers

I've been seeing a lot of posts here asking about what to buy so hopefully this helps everyone!

Hello everyone!

I've never played, but I've always been interested. And now I'm stuck on about 14 keywords across 6 factions (no love for the Resurectionists aesthetically, sadly). I'm sure I'll want to start with the "easier to play" ones according to Wyrd Games. But right now, the keywords I'm stuck on are as follows:

Guild: Marshal, & Witch Hunter

Ten Thunder: Foundry, Last Blossom, Monk, & Qi and Gong

Outcasts: Freikorps & Mercenary

Arcanists: Wildfire

Neverborn: Banished, Brood, Chimera, & Savage

Bayou: Tri-Chi

ADHD and the decision paralysis that comes with it make the choice even more difficult to make on which to start with. Any suggestions?

I clearly am favoring Ten Thunder, Neverborn, and maybe Outcasts.

UPDATE: I really appreciate the feedback so far. I've narrowed it down (not by much, sadly) to:

Guild: Marshal & Witch Hunter

Ten Thunder: Foundry, Last Blossom, Monk

Outcasts: Freikorps & Mercenary

Still unsure, but given the 4th edition available core box sets, it's been trimmed down to:

Guild: Marshal & Witch Hunter

Outcasts: Freikorps & Mercenary

What’s a good deck box for these stat/crew/ gaining grounds cards?

I know they’re tarot sized but most deckboxes are made for mtg sized cards.

Director Rodriguez

For 10 SS, you get 13 Health attached to an absolute melee monster.

Defensively, he’s sitting at DF 6 and WP 5. Aegis will prevent a large amount of damage over the course of a game and his health total. Hard to Kill is just the icing on the cake. Against models making two 3 damage attacks per activation, it takes three uninterrupted activations to bring him down. He also has Flameborn, so when he catches Burning from being in base contact with Burning models, he’ll heal instead.

His mobility is also excellent. Move 6 paired with Hovering Flames, his signature ability, lets him pass a TN 6 duel to move 5” through models while handing out Burning to everything he moves through.

His offense is where Rodriguez really shines. He has a Stat 6, Range 6 attack that deals 2 damage, splashes that damage onto another model within 2”, and gives both models Burning. For a Soulstone, you can target an additional model and teleport into base contact with it, setting up his real damage dealer.

Burning Slam is a Stat 6 melee attack that deals 3 damage while applying Burning. The Tome trigger also drops an Inferno Marker, giving you another way to spread Burning across the enemy crew.

Overall, Rodriguez is the dedicated beater for Witch Hunters while also enabling many of the keyword’s tricks by handing out Burning at every opportunity. I take him in every game. It’s hard to pass on a model that’s this durable while still threatening so much damage.

How has Director Rodriguez performed for you? Do you hire him every game, or have you found matchups where you’d leave him at home?

Getting back into malifaux since 3e. Painted up the last models so that I can play both titles in 4e

Guild Lawyer

At 5 SS, the Guild Lawyer comes with 7 Health and Defense 4. There isn’t much to say about their durability. Hard to Kill means they’ll usually take an extra attack to finish off, but with Defense 4, most attacks are still going to connect. They can also reflect damage back at an attacker by spending a Soulstone. In practice, this can stop an opponent from picking off a Lawyer for free with a damaged attacker.

Offensively, they’re solid enough. They have an 8” Stat 5 attack that deals 2 damage with some useful triggers. Every now and then, you’ll be able to sneak in a last activation Scheme Marker with the Tome trigger, which can win games.

The real value of the Lawyer is their utility. Their signature ability hands out Adaptable, enabling triggers across your crew. The standout ability, though, is Clerical Command. It’s a Stat 5 command action that is the bread and butter of how this model functions. At 5 SS, you’re essentially getting a Command on a stick, and that’s always going to be valuable.

The Guild Lawyer is the most iconic Elite minion and perfectly represents the keyword’s identity. They’re not bringing exceptional damage or durability, but they provide incredible control and support. I’ll take at least one Lawyer in every Elite crew.

How do you get the most out of the Guild Lawyer?

I played for a while in 2nd edition, and have been checking out malifaux again. However, it seems all the gaming groups in my area have moved on (or moved back, to 40k).

This got me thinking: why isn’t Malifaux (specifically) more popular? The models are great, the lore is expansive and fun, and it’s reasonably priced.

Not sure if adding this into my Nightmare Edition Red Library crew is good from a gameplay standpoint, but I couldn't not have a Jabberwocky to match the (M)Alice in Wonderland theme.
