I've got to give a big shout out to Sholto at Incunabulog (nice Ravenor drop sir!) for some amazing work answering all my persistent questions about Malifaux, how it works, what the rulebooks like and the models...
Clearly, Sholto's sold on the whole thing, and I have to admit a temptation myself. After completing 3 40k armies (all bar a couple of Piranha anyhow) and buying a superheavy, I'm keen to try out something a little 'different' and this would appear to be an ideal for fulfilling my more 'Rogue Trader' type playstyle desires.
I've played Hordes now ... and although I like it, its not grabbed me like this has...
Maybe its the miniatures, just stunning:
