Wyrd Miniatures Coming
We’ll be stocking Wyrd Miniatures http://www.wyrd-games.net/ starting in august. The miniatures are very cool, come in boxed sets or singles and also have a dice less Miniatures game.
We’ll also be getting some of their base inserts which will work with any miniatures.
Based in an alternate Earth, Malifaux uses gothic, steampunk, victorian horror with a dose of the wild west to inject fun and depth into the magical lawlessness of a world rife with monsters, necropunks, manmachine hybrids, gunslingers, and power-hungry politicos. Actively using character-driven stories to define the world of Malifaux, seek your fortune in this fast paced and brutal 32mm tabletop miniature skirmish game. Assemble your crew and stake your claim!
No longer do you have to trust the fickle fate of a dice roll, in Malifaux you use cards, a Fate Deck, as you lead your Crew to victory with strategy, tactics and resource management, and if that isn’t enough, you can Cheat Fate. Looking for scalability? Malifaux has it. Jump directly into a Scrap with 4 – 6 miniatures, ensuring a quick and brutal fight with each character having unique skills and abilities. Want to escalate it? Take it to a Brawl, bring in additional members of your faction or hire out mercenaries to do your dirty work.
I like the concept of fate cards, makes me wonder how such a system could be used in Warmachine to balance luck and skill, perhaps a variant of the Game of Thrones combat cards….hmmmmm…something to test.
