The Search for Soul Stone Continues in Malifaux 2nd Edition!
May 1, 2013 by dracs
It is exciting times for all of us who have stepped beyond the breach into the world of Malifaux as Wyrd have announced that this August will see the pre-release of the game's 2nd Edition!
Why is it that this had to be announced only a few weeks after I pick up the rule book for Malifaux 1.5?
These new rules should soon be entering a public beta, allowing to give your feedback on the latest developments of gaming one the other side of the breach.
So what can we expect to see? Here's some of things Wyrd are promising:
- Streamlined rules
- Easier to read card format, of standard size to allow them to be easily sleeved
- Masters new and old, including some henchmen getting a promotion, more cross-faction masters as well as brand new characters
- A systematically updated FAQ
- Gremlins becoming their own faction
The Public Beta should be going up on the 31st May and over the next couple of months we can expect to see loads more new art and models to tease us for 2nd edition.
What changes do you hope to see? What do you hope stays the same? Have you an idea for a Malifaux character?

I hope Seamus becomes more powerful as I absolutely adore his model and fluff but hate losing with him almost all the time.
As an ex-player I certainly hope they fix the god-awful amount of tiny special rules and specific order of everything, plus re-balance some of the more..esorteric masters. Wouldn’t mind seeing the Guild taken down a peg too in general, esp. in relation to Arcanists (maybe it changed in the latest ed, but iwas far too easy to shut down the arcanists by picking the right master for the Guild).
Gremlins getting their own faction! Sweet!
