Malifaux 2nd edition!

by | May 1, 2013

Hey all, I know it's been a while since anything has graced the pages of 3forint. I just haven't been playing any sort of war game recently. After the BAO, I really put some thought into it and 40k just isn't the game for me anymore. I have lost whatever passion I had for the strategic aspects of the game and GW itself is just sucking all the fun out of the game for me. With that out of the way, I would like to post about some other games!

Just Yesterday, Wyrd games announced Malifaux 2nd edition! The new edition will be pre-released at Gen-Con this year on August 15th with a regular release in October. They will be releasing teaser images, models and other cool stuff in the meantime. The first of which....

Is this little neverborn lady
Now who that is, I don't know. The image name is Candy, but the pre-release info implies that it's "Tera, the Herald of Oblivion".

Some other cool stuff from the pre-release info
  1. Streamlined rules - Could be good. hopefully they go in the right direction here as the rules weren't that hard to follow in the first place
  2. New Masters - Sweeeeeet. It mentions henchmen getting promoted, so that could open some sweet new lists with old favorites.
  3. Gremlins to be a faction - This might get my buddy Logan to play, haha
  4. Easier to read card format - This is awesome. The cards are a bit tough to parse at first and anything to make these better is cool by me. 
  5. Story moves forward - That's a thing that happens in a game??? (hint, hint gw! haha)
  6. FAQ - I guess they are centralizing their faq off of the forums. Seems like a good move
All in all, this looks like it could be a cool release. And Wyrd makes really cool models and has the best Gen Con specialty models, so I'm sure this year at Gen Con will be awesome for them!

A quick note. Are there any games in particular you guys would like to see me cover? I've mostly been playing magic, but I wasn't sure if this was the right place to talk about that. Let me know!
