Yan Lo vs Ramos 30ss - a quick run down

Got to play with Yan Lo again last night, this time in a 30ss match up against Avatar Ramos...

We flipped shared Turf War - a new one on me and one I didn't fancy much with my 6 model crew against a potential horde of arachnids.

Malifaux

Malifaux is a miniature table top game from Wyrd Miniatures.
It is a skirmish game, that is to say that instead of hundreds of figures there are typically less than 10 on each side.
In addition it uses an activation based mechanic where by one model from one side activates, then a model from the other side etc..
There are no dice, a card deck with 2 jokers is used. You can use Wyrd produced decks tailored to your faction or a standard deck of cards is also useable so long as it has two jokers.

With this blog I am documenting my progress with this game, & the hobby of collecting and painting miniatures associated with this game. I do so from an entirely part time and amateur viewpoint. I make no claims as an expert or tournement player (as I don't play in tournaments). I'm just an ordinary geek hoping to provide himself some extra motivation and maybe pass some of that on to others.
