I went through and took good pics of the Pandora starter box I finished. They are also found in the gallery.
The only one I’m not particularly happy with is Kade as I got the whole fuzzy primer issue going on.

I admit to being a bit lazy about updating this here blog over the last week or so. Joel and I played a game of Malifaux two Thursdays ago and then again this past Thursday. What follows are two battle reports; one for each gaming night. Read More
Again, our group met up over at Gamerz on the south side of Indy for some Malifaux action. Joel and I suspected only he and I might show up since Brian’s family just gained a new member and Jim started a new shift where he works such that he wouldn’t be able to make it. Brian did end up showing up and Jim took a half day to come game with us. Brian and Joel played against each other and I played against Jim. I hadn’t yet played Jim since we started Malifaux, so this should prove interesting. Read More
Joel and I agreed to meet up at Gamerz and play a bit larger Malifaux game at 35 soulstones rather than the “starter box” size of 25 or so soulstones. we also used Strategies and Schemes. Strategies are objectives both players are going fo as their main victory method. Joel flipped Reconnoiter (end game with a model in each of 4 quadrants) and I flipped Claim Jumper (have models touching a piece of terrain in the center of the board). Schemes are extra objectives that award a smaller victory point total. I decided on Bodyguard with Pandora as the target (make sure the model survives the encounter) and Eye for an Eye (end the game with one more model or equal models to the enemy). If you reveal a Scheme, it awards you extra victory points for completing it; I revealed Eye for an Eye. We flipped for deployment and got the one where we each deploy in opposite corners in an 8″ square. Read More
Now that I’d gotten my feet wet in playing one real game of Malifaux, I felt ready to take on playing again. The game is really that exciting and actually pretty quick to play. In fact, I can’t think of another game that has gotten me so excited since Confrontation.
Brian had already left to go take care of his preganant wife, who’s about to pop any minute, so I challenged Bryan to a game. He whipped out the Lady Justice crew to pound on Pandora. Fortunately, I’d heard a bit on how Lady J works from Joel so I had at least some thoguhts on how to deal with them. Read More
Last night was the first time I have gotten to play Malifaux for real. After havung read the rules over the last week or two, I have tried to grasp how the game works. For the most part, I think I did. We all went to a different store this time. This one is called Gamerz. A few members of the group have spoken to the owner, who seems o really want to get more players in the store and more miniatures games going in it. When I’d been there before for Magic, there were a couple of fold-out tables with felt on them in the back. When I showed up yesterday, there were no less than four wooden gaming tables clearly set up for games like Warhammer Fantasy and 40K. Read More
Official errata for Malifaux is posted here.
I love it when a company releases a book, finds issues and posts official errata within a week’s time. So far, I feel like Wyrd is keeping their promise of being available and on top of things with their game. That’s why I think this game is only going to get bigger in the community. Right now, most of the locals feel like this is going to be our replacement for Confrontation, which I think is awesome!!
Been working on these for the last week or so and finally got them all together.

Ever since Gen Con 2008 when Brian, his wife and I hung around the Wyrd booth in hopes of learning something about this new game or seeing some new minis, Malifaux has been on our mind. Now that it’s here I think it’s probably everything everyone wanted in a miniatures game that uses no dice. At Gen Con 2009 I heard nearly everyone I know who plays miniatures games talk about getting into the game. I even heard some people having issues finding figures they liked and then they bought in once they saw that the few minis they did like were all from the same faction and could be played together!

As some might have already suspected, I haven’t posted here for the last week or so due to the yearly gaming convention called Gen Con held in the local metropolis of Indianapolis (how convenient!!).
The nice thing about this year as opposed to previous years is that I had some company for the drive and some help with parking and gas costs. Fred was that company, and what great company it was. I had a blast having him ride with me. Read More
