Wyrd’s Malifaux Gen Con Haul Revealed In Full!
August 8, 2014 by brennon
Wyrd Games have put together a full list of what's coming at Gen Con 2014! See what you think of the new crews, the new boxed additions and of course what's coming special miniatures wise AND Through the Breach!
I'm a big fan of the Bound by Law set, The Kin, and The Hired Guns but all of the collections have a whole load of brilliant sculpts in them, even if they are just renders on the back of the boxes. It would be nice to see the actual miniatures on these things alongside the artwork.
These single packs are also going to become available for the game allowing you to add to your various factions with the miniatures you love the most. I don't think I could pass up on those brilliant Samurai with mini-guns!
In terms of big miniatures you'll also be able to pick up the Whiskey Golem for the Gremlins and the new Miss for the event, Miss Ery which you can see above in lovely Teddy Bear form. I'm sure that's a perfectly safe toy to give to a child right?
As I mentioned before the role-playing game for Malifaux, Through the Breach is also going to be there so if you want to take up role-playing in this very cool world then this is going to be a must for you!
So much Malifaux!

Wyrd Miniatures are doing some fantastic things with their plastic kits now. I’m very tempted to try these.
Just a shame that the last two plastic crews i purchased had parts missing from the sprue. Other than that, nice kits.
They are very nice minis you have to be careful with some as they can be a bit fiddley and small. I have been looking to get the dreamers set just to paint,put some of them with my grots for super system Darkness team
some have those “by Yan Lo’s beard” moments
Here are my opinions (from the perspective of a Guild and Neverloose player):
– Bound by law: Good models (not sure about the woman guard tho), they packed the box pretty well with content. Since I own a huge majority of the Neverborn range and barring the TT and Lucius’ side the Guild too, I’m thinking of purchasing this box, it really should fit. Also, nearly every model in the box would be a great addition to Through the Breach as NPCs.
– Hide and seek: Also good content, many miniatures and quite a dangerous crew to play with. Had I not bought the majority of the minis before in V1 (well, barring the alps, however they weren’t solid enough for me to consider buying them before), it would an autobuy for me.
– Hired Guns: Neat pack, I like it, except the Hulkster (way too funny pose) and the steam trunk, I think it is a dud. They probably should have created an apprentice or something packed with toys or something, I just can’t connect with this model, Brother.
– The Kin: Solid box, also a pretty competitive crew to play with, overall if I would start the game (having all the experience I have) and Gremlins would be the faction I wanted to play with, I would probably start here. Have been gunned down by them a lot of times in V1, so I really don’t want to end up on the wrong side of Ophi’s shoota.
– The Swamp Hag: Not the easiest Neverborn box to start with, however Mama Z is the master closest to my heart. She really exemplifies the manipulativeness of the Neverborn faction. However I’m not that thrilled with the models. Barring the one in the middle the silurids are way too comical. The same goes with Zoraida, I just like the old half-naked version better (it is a psychological warfare in itself), and the Juju model is a bit lacking. However if you are a Neverborn player and you want to try other neverborny things than punch everyone’s face with Lilith, like terrorizing your enemies with a semi unkillable Bad Juju or killing the enemy heavy hitter models without even touching them, this box is solid.
– Vengeful Spirits: Have played against Kirai’s crew only in V1 (didn’t liked them), however never in V2, I can only judge the miniatures itselt. Onryos and Seishins are OK, I don’t really like Kirai and Ikiryo, and the Lost Love’s classic He-Man pose is a bit meh.
– Nightmare Whisky Golem: name says it all. Even though I’m not really convinced that it is that good on the playfield, however the art is top notch gremlin quality.
Through the Breach: As kickstarter backer I had the opportunity to own the PDF version of both books, GM-ed two adventures, I you are a Malifaux fan and would fancy roleplaying in the dark alleys and the unforgiving lands of the world, give it a try.
Yep, it’s gonna be an expensive month. 9 of these boxes will be coming with me.
Some fantastic minis coming! I can’t wait for the Nightmare Golem to come on to the tabletop!
They all look beautiful, I just still haven’t made up my mind which faction to settle on as yet, although the gremlins are looking most favourable right now.
