October Releases For Malifaux Appear From The Breach
October 9, 2014 by brennon
Wyrd Miniatures have popped up their upcoming releases for the month of October so soon a whole host of new creations will be making their into your Malifaux games!
Let's kick things off with the more normal side of Malifaux and the Hired Guns. Another awesome set that is packed full of very cool looking miniatures. I still have the same complaint as I've had in previous pieces about the way Wyrd do their packaging. Stop showing us renders on the back and show some painted miniatures for us to check out!!!
...and then it all gets very distinctly Malifaux from that point on. Some rather cool smaller packs that can be used to boost your existing gangs and give you more options when it comes to squaring off against an opponent. Essence of Power is quite the cool set but I can't imagine being able to paint that very well!
My favourite of the lot is the Waldgeist here at the bottom. I have a thing for cool tree spirits and these have loads of character which is even more fun. I think I might enjoy giving them a go and trying my hand at aged wood and moss.
What will you be bringing to your Malifaux games next?

I really like the “electric creation”, definitely the right amount of weirdness and alien-ness for me. I don’t play this game, but may pick up that model to paint.
It’s well worth giving a go, it’s a great game. It’s got plenty of other “weird” miniatures as well.
The only other model that I would buy is the insidious Madness, but I can certainly sit back and respect the huge imagination and creativity gone into the rest of the range, even if I wouldnt buy it.
some of them would look great for 40k and fantasy characters essense of power as a possessed for inquestitor henchmen and waldgiest as dryads
“Librarian” doesn’t look very bookish. Would probably effectively motivate me to return my borrowed books on time though.
Niice.
Is there a two player starter set for Malifaux?
Unfortunately not. There are plenty of crew starter box sets though. They vary in value, for some sets you will need to buy one or two minion/enforcer boxes in addition to get to the standard 50ss (soul stones – i.e. points) size game. However there are a few sets which are pretty much 50ss straight out of the box, for example Ramos – a steam punk wizard/engineer at the head of the Miners & Steam Union.
Why must all these minis be so awesome? I’m really tempted to get a few of these, maybe jsut as a painting challenge and for display.
For the Essence of Power I think you would need some inverted shading in the flames, so put the lightest color in the recesses. The body could have light reflected on it normally.
The Waldgeist are my favorite. The Hanged Men and especially the Malifaux Child look appropriately disturbing for this game.
You should see Baby Kade and Candy in the Pandora box set. Nnnnnnnggghh….
I better never forget my library books with that killer librarien on the looks.
Love the essence of power. This is just an awesome model. Wow!
Any chance Romain could do a 3 Colours Up on the Essence of Power?
I have bought two starter sets when M2E came out and they’re still sitting on my shelf because I am painting some old Necromunda gangers. With all these awesome releases coming out, I am seriously motivated to finish them off quickly and start my Malifaux crews. (And my Op Ice box, but that’s another post)
