Rasputina Brings The Cold With Her In Wyrd’s January Releases
January 3, 2020 by brennon
Wyrd Games has got lots in store for you players of Malifaux as January rolls in to start the year off. There is a bit of a cold snap in the air for sure as leading the way we have Rasputina and her Core Box.
Rasputina has always been one of the iconic characters from the world of Malifaux and it's great to see her return in style here with an even more wintery looking set of friends at her side. She looks commanding and dangerous and comes flanked by some dangerous looking December Acolytes who look like they'd die for her. Also, you can't not notice the massive Snow Storm that gets included in this set, a monstrous creature which looks like it will be a real statement piece for the tabletop.
As for the rest of the releases, there are so many of them that I had to cherry-pick a few. If you want the full list you can see ALL of the releases HERE but for now, we're going to peek at just some choice options that caught my eye...
Witching Hour
Brood Mates
Centre Stage
Geryon
High Society
Listen Up
I always love seeing what inventive stuff the folks at Wyrd have been up to and I like that everything they do has got this sense of horror to it but then twisted up in an element of dark comedy too. You can see that in the aforementioned Listen Up set above which looks like it would an absolute joy to paint and play with, not taking things too seriously.
Lastly, I wanted to pick out a rather epic looking miniature that got mentioned towards the tail end of their January releases. Here is the model for Nekima (Alt)!
I thought the model just had this awesome sense of ferocity and brutality to it. You can see every ounce of anger etched into her facial features and the pose is perfect for tabletop play, always dynamically running/flying towards her opponent.
If the world of Malifaux hadn't appealed to you before I bet it does now after having a peek at some of these new models for 2020.
Do you get in a bit of Malifaux now and then?

2nd ed Rasputina is pretty much my favourite mini in all of Malifaux, Snow/Storm not far behind. The rest are an improvement though.
Even though I’m not a fan of the Resurrectionists, a unit of zombified Victorian gentlemen and street walkers is just fun in a warped sort of way. The Arcanists still look good, especially with the updated sculpts in the Rasputina box, the Geryon are nice and horrible for your pulp horror/sci-fi/fantasy needs, and the choice of models in the Gremlin box is just hilarious.
some fabulous looking figures.
They look great but I hate that they show off 3d renders and not painted minis on the box. I remember making a complaint like that on a forum or fb years ago, not too long before second edition started and the response was that it is a small team/studio. I would have hoped they would have hired more hands to paint models for their sets and previous since. I know it is easier and quicker and saves time and production. To me its a shame though, as these models would look beautiful painted rather than just the ‘plastic grey’… Read more »
It’s the Brood Mates for me and Alt Nekima is nice too. And that Geryon looks suitably disgusting.
The new version of Snow Storm is nice too.
