Wyrd Preview The Dreamer’s Crew For Malifaux Third Edition
January 10, 2019 by brennon
Wyrd Games has been previewing one of the crews that will be coming to Malifaux Third Edition. It looks like The Dreamer has grown up with this new iteration of him for this brilliant skirmish game.
The Dreamer has now become a teenager and an angry one at that. As you can see he is still playing with the nightmares from the beyond and calling them to his side so that he might enact his strange and eerie plans. The monstrous Lord Chompy Bits is still on hand to protect him...
...alongside a whole host of other creatures like the Alps you can see below. The creatures are looking awesome right now and knowing Wyrd they're going to be even more awesome in the flesh. As per Wyrd's mandate, I'm sure there will be some fiddly miniatures to put together too! They have said that they are making the game a little more accessible now though which can only be a good thing.
As well as those Alps The Dreamer can also call on the power of the very Lovecraftian looking Coppelius here too. This is a superbly eerie set of previews and I can't wait to see what they do for the Guild as they were my preferred faction in the game back at the start of Second Edition.
To round things off, here is a look at the full artwork for the various characters and creatures presented above, giving you an idea of how you might approach painting them!
As I said above, I love what they're doing with Malifaux here. They appear to be pushing it on a few paces when it comes to the storytelling and the timeline and yet keeping things familiar for those that are still involved with the game.
It will be great to see how the other Crews come out. I'm excited to see what crazy stuff they do with the Arcanists too.
Will you be giving the new edition of Malifaux a go?

This models are great…but I like more the actual Chompy bits.
I have the original set fully painted so this will be nice to add alongside it.
While these miniatures are really nice I have to say I liked the old Lord Chompy Bits more and I liked the Dreamer as a young boy much more.
Those are very nice.
Wow, they’re launching a 3rd edition already? I still haven’t gotten the 2nd ed. Chompy that I really want. So will they be discontinuing selling those?
Probably, although they may keep the Alt. versions of models, but I would bank on a clean slate, tbh. Keeps the SKU count down and just makes more sense for Wyrd when Malifaux already has hundreds!
Great looking figure’s lord chompy is really interesting
It’s great that the story’s moving on, but I’ll miss the old, “innocent” Dreamer. His fluff was absolutely fantastic, one of the best backstories in the game.
I don’t collect Neverborn but may have to pick up the old box.
Junior grew up a bit.
I’m looking forward to 3rd Edition. As a loyal Guild player, I’m trying to buy up as much Guild stuff as I can afford in the run up to the new edition. Might as well get it all cheap from people selling up because of the changes!
