The Malifaux 2E rulebook, from
Wyrd Games, is out and I and my friends are exited. Its 284 pages in length and soft cover. Lets take a look inside.
The rules are well laid out and flow much better than the previous rulebooks (1 and mini 1.1 rulebooks). The basic rules are forty pages in length, standard encounters are eighteen pages, and story encounters fifteen. I will endeavor to make markers in the upcoming few weeks and post the results.
At one hundred and eighty-one pages are the different factions: Guild, Arcanist, Resurrectionists, Neverborn, Ten Thunders, Gremlins and Outcasts. They include the faction masters, totems, henchmen, minions and peons. New models not yet seen have rules in this section but many that have models out now are not in the book. Wave 2 of playtesting is on now for all remaining models, with downloadable rules and cards available
here.
Masters are not as powerful as they once were but with low soulstone cost, they can get the abilities you know and love. The cards you see in the rulebook are also available in playing card size in the new Arsenal decks for each faction. They retail around $8 each and what is in them can be seen
here (just click on the faction box and it will have the list of cards).
Gremlins have been moved to their own faction and if the models look like the pictures, they will be a lot of fun. I especially like the "drunken gremlin kung-fu style" and Kin factions.
A great new product for Wyrd Miniatures that will bring a whole new group to play this fantastic miniatures game.
