Look Ahead To Wyrd’s June Releases For Malifaux
May 18, 2020 by brennon
Wyrd Games has been showing off what they have coming for June and the world of Malifaux. I've picked out some of my favourites from their selection but you can find it all HERE so you can tell us what you have on your list.
We start with a selection of different Core Boxes for the world of Malifaux. As always, I love seeing the gremlins of Malifaux having fun and the Wong Core Box certainly offers that. Plenty of fun and interesting miniatures who are posed dynamically.
Additionally, on the Core Box front, we've also got the Misaki Core Box which goes in a slightly more serious direction. This is the great duality of Malifaux where it features both funny and grim options for players to get stuck into, each still following a similar design aesthetic.
Descendants & Guardians is also a new Core Box which is coming in June but the rest of the releases allow you to add in new characters, monsters and more for a variety of different factions. You won't be wanting for fun miniatures to paint.
Things That Go Bump
Arachnophobia
Immortal Tricksters
My favourite set however from the recent crop isn't the one above (oddly) but actually Scoop. I always liked playing as the Guild in games of Malifaux and I love the story this set tells. You've got Allison Dade in the lead, looking to find out the truth, and flanked by her Undercover Reporter and Newsies. It's a great set that would be useful in Malifaux and Through The Breach.
There is plenty more for you to come and take a look at HERE over on their website. Every time I see these new models from Wyrd I get little pangs of guilt that I never played Malifaux more. It's such an inventive and different world which was always fun to play in.
Maybe I'll dig out my old Guild models and get cracking with the older edition of the game...

the arachnid army looks fantastic.
Does this mean that the bastards are finally going to have Ramos break out of prison in the fluff?! He’s the whole reason I started playing 2nd ed. as the sculpts improved over the 1st ed. metals. Hell, his Avatar of Invention caught me in the metals and I still have yet to put together the “Metropolis” inspired diorama using it.
Love the lad in the barrel. Shame he’s Guild *spits*
I saw “Wong Core Box” and read “Wrong Core Box” and thought: that’s kind of a cool name for a core box XD
Would really fit Wyrd games!
Don’t go back to last edition – start with 3E! It’s much better and cleaner and more balanced.
My main issue with Wyrd are how they’re bundling these new models. I understand that maybe they needed to do so to reduce the number of SKUs they have to manage through channels, but far too often any box I’m remotely interested in contains models I already own and have painted. Not necessarily down to Wyrd, but by the time their boxes have come through distributors to retail in the UK they’re trading at close to £1=$1 RRP. In dollars they are a premium per model cost, not an issue on its own due to high quality but mixed with… Read more »
