Just before Christmas a few of us took the plunge into Malifaux. Having played a few games at 25pts, I have to admit that I have found it to be an enjoyable game.
One of the bonuses of the game is the small model count, my Guild force is only 5 models! (Most faction boxes are around £25-30 and contain 5-7 models.)
The game is quite quick, even for beginners and the fate card system is surprisingly good.
Anyone interested should let myself or JamesW know and we can set you up with a game.

If anyone is interested in having a go I have about four gangs ready to play:
Sonnia Criid with her henchman Samael Hopkins and some witchling stalkers. Sonnia hunts down unlicensed magic users for the Guild and then purges them of magic, turning them into witchling stalkers.
Pandora with Candy, baby Kade, and her ghostly Sorrows. Pandora is a Neverborn monster with powers of misery. Her Sorrows and Woes try to manipulate the behaviour of their enemies.
Perdita Ortega and her family are old school Latino gunslingers who have become the Guild's specialist Neverborn hunters.
Jakob Lynch is a cardsharp who has drawn the attention of a Neverborn power- the Hungering Darkness. He manipulates the cards used to play and his Illuminated followers use the darkness to become unnaturally strong.
I have all the cards for playing, and am more than happy to give anyone a demo game. :-)

Excellent news! I think Ed and I are playing tonight but if you & Ed are interested there are some multiplayer rules published in Wyrd Chronicles #4. www.wyrd-games.net/content.php?235-Wyrd-ChroniclesIt has rules for 3 player games which were designed for 1st ed but I reckon they should still work.

Shame you couldn't make it Ed. Lew and I played instead. Maybe next week? I'm eager for my dirty illuminated gang to face your dirty witch hunters.

Thanks for the game James I really enjoyed and think I need to study the rule book a bit more before I come back and try again to take on the dirty illuminated.

You played well Lew. Made good use of the family ability. However, misreading your scheme dooms you. I find that the hardest part of the game is to focus on the victory points rather than attacks. It's easy to get stuck into fighting and lose on points.

I will highly recommend Malifaux. Great game and completely different from most as you can win even if you are wiped out. It's all about the schemes and strategies.

Nice. Are we using upgrades? I think your boxed set comes in at about 32 points so if we say 35 points that should work nicely.
