Welcome to Malifaux, a twisted mirror of an alternate Earth in the 1900s; a world of gothic horror, Victorian structures, steampunk constructs, and wild west gunslingers. Rife with undead amalgamations, monstrous vengeful apparitions, and other creatures that bump in the night, these near-lawless lands are still worth treading for some, as the Soulstones deep within the cavernous catacombs are worth more than the sweat and blood it takes to obtain them. Malifaux Third Edition is a story-driven skirmish game that carries the events from the lore directly into the characters’ mechanics. With a streamlined hiring system, straightforward and updated rules that don’t get in the way of the fun, and enough strategic depth to keep those mental gears turning for years to come, it’s never been a better time to dive into the world of Malifaux. Seek your fortune, test your luck, and stake your claim in this fast-paced and brutal tabletop miniature skirmish game. No longer do you have to trust the fickle fate of a dice roll. In Malifaux, you use cards called a Fate Deck to lead your crew to victory. If strategy, tactics, and resource management can’t help you achieve your goals, don’t worry, as you can always Cheat Fate. #malifaux #rulebook #rules #core #corebook

While armies numbering millions clash on battlefields spread across a thousand worlds, specialised teams of elite operatives are dispatched on dangerous missions to accomplish vital objectives from the shadows. These kill teams, as they are known, are picked from the most capable and independent of their kind, using strange and esoteric skills to achieve what a mighty army could not. The new edition of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team has been redesigned from the ground up as the greatest tabletop skirmish experience yet, seeing teams of experienced operatives engage in vicious close-quarters combat as they race to complete their missions. In this book you'll find the complete rules for playing Kill Team as well as a host of missions to embark on, lore covering the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, and insight on the factions vying for dominance among the shadows. The Book This 144-page book is the ultimate companion for kill team commanders, containing all the knowledge you need to collect, build, paint, and play in the world of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. Ten Thousand Years of War The book opens with a summary of the 41st Millennium’s history, including details on the Imperium’s massive military might and the forces they encounter in their ceaseless wars across the galaxy. It also introduces kill teams, the squads players command in the course of the game, and details their continued deployment across myriad war zones throughout the galaxy. Core Rules The first rules section contains the core concepts you need to start fighting battles in Kill Team, including the tools required, phases of play, and operative datasheets. Killzones Here you'll find rules and guidance on how terrain interacts with your games, including example board arrangements, as well as rules governing movement around, over, and through your scenery. Ways to Play Once you've got the basics squared away, find out all about the three core ways to play the game and the missions you can undertake. Open Play A free-form style of play suitable for those new to Kill Team, and a perfect place to practice in a relaxed mission environment. It’s not just for newer players, though, as experienced commanders can use the included mission creation rules to craft thematic and expansive games fit for the most hardened veterans. Matched Play As the most mechanically balanced style of play, matched play games are a chance for commanders to pit themselves against their opponents in battles of tactical skill and turn-by-turn decisions. With each kill team using only the core weapons and equipment on their datasheet, players will need to plan ahead to outsmart their foe and claim victory. Spec Ops Narrative Play The narrative campaigns detailed in the brand new Spec Ops rules allow you to take your kill team from a band of raw recruits to experienced veterans, earning accolades and special skills along the way. As teams complete objectives and earn rewards – even against opponents not participating in a Spec Ops campaign – decisions made will impact the future of your operatives and turn regular games into a rich narrative experience full of cinematic moments. Critical Operations Mission Pack A selection of 9 exciting missions designed to be balanced for matched play games, but equally playable in open play and Spec Ops narrative play games. Tac Ops A suite of selectable secondary objectives used across a number of mission types. Tac Ops are hidden from your opponent, so commanders can decide on their strategy ahead of time while watching out for their foe’s actions on the battlefield. Appendix The book closes out with a handy reference section packed with special rules and abilities, as well as an overview of the different tokens, counters, and accessories used in games of Kill Team. #kill #team #core #book #skirmish

This is what Wyrd games telling us about this expansion for Malifaux: "In Malifaux Burns, the latest book for M3E, the Burning Man has arrived. For the last few years, the failed experiment of the former Governor-General has been causing havoc on Earth, warping mankind from the clouds above. His portals have opened in both sea and sky, letting loose creatures that even the most imaginative minds could not fathom. His path of destruction is random and without remorse, and now he’s here… back where it all started. With this expansion, we have created new ways to play every keyword by re-designing Masters from the ground up. Not only do these titles create strengths where there were once weaknesses, but they also create questions for your opponent to ask as soon as the crew building begins. What version of Ulix is my opponent playing? Should I bring counters to his grow mechanics or his fiery pig steed? Which version fits the current pool of Strategies and Schemes? We wanted to expand the ways you play a specific keyword or crew so that they are viable in more pools and are competitive in more instances, while also making existing Masters that don’t see as much play reach the table more often, as well. Hidden information between players before the game even starts has been a staple in previous editions, such as through Upgrades and even scoring points. We’ve learned a lot from those iterations, and believe that this approach further pushes specialization of a single keyword, which keeps the barrier of entry low and tactical decisions high, while staying true to the many secrets that Malifaux has to offer. Even from a lore perspective, with Malifaux Burns, we’re harkening back to the past to take another look at how we used to tell stories on a grander scale. Like First Edition, the story in Malifaux Burns will be broad and expansive, covering the details of what happened to the 8 Masters who have been corrupted by the Burning Man’s sudden arrival. It’s the largest single story ever written for a Malifaux book (because creating new ways to play 54 Masters wasn’t enough), and we can’t wait for you to experience it." Great news! Start playing! #malifaux #expansion #book #burns #new #masters

The BrikVerse is dying. Plastic-brick models gather dust on shelves instead of smashing into each other or exploding even slightly. Their construction matches their box covers – no unexplained tentacles or myriad redundant laser cannons. Their pieces are banished from the floor, never to pierce an unsuspecting Human foot. Minifigkind cries out for a new breed of Hero – more irresponsible, more ridiculous. Armed with nothing but fanatically devoted armies, a complete lack of survival instinct, and enormous piles of bricks, these mighty champions are called to push back the terrifying threat of Peace, and save the minifig way of life. DEFY THE BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS! The battle to restore mayhem won’t be won by default models. A fight like this takes creeping hordes of hungry munchfigs and towering laser ninja dragon mech castle pirate ship rainbow tanks. If you can build it, your Heroes can field it, no matter how inadvisable, inexplicable, or over the top. MINIFIG KONSTRUKTION KOMBAT BrikWars is a flexible and entertaining, turn-based miniatures wargame, designed for use with plastic building briks and miniature figures or other construction toys. This Ragnablok Edition is the official, revamped, edited, absolutely definitely the definitive, retail edition of Mike Rayhawk’s BRIKWARS. Based on years of rambunctious feedback from the worldwide brik building community, this enhanced version is packed with new illustrations from the paintbrush of Mike Rayhawk, bringing the mayhem of brik adventures to life. Over 270 pages, full colour, US letter size hardback Inside this BrikWars rulebook, you’ll find: A dizzying array of custom weapons and abilities, from the humble brick and the nuclear catapult to world-ending Artifakts and the awesome Orange Transparent Chainsaw. Dozens of minifig Specialists – Mechaniks to invent war machines, Heroes with impossible Feats (and impossible egos), Civilians to order pizza, and more. The MOC Combat system, sending infinitely customizable units, creatures, vehicles, and fortifications to their unavoidable and instantaneous doom. Heroic Escapades campaign rules. Forbidden knowledge about the mythical Humans and their diabolikal dice. Rules for when to break the rules (it’s always). #brikwars #lego #wargame #modiphius #core #rulebook
