PlastCraft Bring Color-ED To The World Of Malifaux
July 3, 2015 by brennon
PlastCraft Games have continued to grow their ColorED range of buildings which allow you to bring a bunch of pre-coloured and easy to assemble buildings to the battlefield with minimal effort. See what you think of their new Malifaux range...
Headin' To The Swamps
The range of new terrain not only gives you the look of a small abandoned train station out in the middle of nowhere but also the needed bits and pieces of terrain for making a swampy location packed with walkways and ramshackle huts.
The big central building that you see in the main pictures is shown open here with a cavernous interior. I like that you've got a lot of room inside there to play around and hide from your foes too! There are also smaller buildings that you can see above too.
The buildings have a very blocky quality to them and while we don't know how easy they'd hold up to weathering they provide a nice simple and effective addition to a tabletop. I can imagine these going well with the Terraclips landscapes that you can pick up already.
We're also a big fan of these walkways which give you some much needed elevation in games of Malifaux. I think this adds another degree of realism to proceedings and provides you with some cinematic moments too.
In gameplay terms this also means that you have to make a choice. Do you go over the easy to navigate walkways or trudge through the swamps below hoping to avoid the enemy.
It also looks like PlastCraft are going to be making some more of their scatter terrain which helps create a nice looking lived in board. I think this is what brings a good gaming table up towards greatness. There's nothing worse than barren streets and empty fields.
I think we're in for a bit of a treat!

This coupled with the new starter set and you’ve got yourself a sexy little demo table!
Love this stuff… and just in time as I decide to get into the game… everything is coming up millhouse
I’m not a Malifaux player but that scenery is too good to pass up. I need to figure out which game I play that I can use it for. Maybe my Infamy crew will get bored with London!
Ooh this stuff looks nice. A swamp isn’t my first choice for setting but still very tempting.
Really liking this stuff. Build a play 😀
Train station is fantastic. swamp building looks good but I don’t think you can beat balsa from run down wooden scenary, has a real textural advantage
That swamp stuff will be my first port of call if I ever get round to painting those gremlins.
colour-ed, or are you appealing to the American BOW fans 🙂
Oops, that serves me right for jumping the gun – sorry!
At last some very good scenery for the excellent Malifaux.
I think its just some really nice scenery fullstop, regardless of whether you actually use it for Malifaux. Get a coloured mat down as well as a few of the buildings, and you’ve actually got a really nice table to play on with not that much effort, which I think is actually a really good thing.
I bought some of the Infinity Color-ED range when it was on sale (from Wayland) and am very impressed with it. Definitely worth the extra bit of money to get it pre-painted (although again, it was during a sale, so it was hardly anything extra).
