Malifaux Reinforcements

Well as last month was a majorly historical purchases (plenty to share on that front coming soon - but in total 7 new 10mm forces...!), but June is back to Malifaux for my hobby funds (and my hobby prep time!)...

I got quite a bit of a haul in due to some very good deals, so this is going to be a long one!

I started my shopping knowing that I wanted to add to the McMourning options as we were pretty limited with options for list building for him.  I opted first for the Stitched and Sewn box:

This box includes a pair of Kentauroi (the stitched together human-horse monstrosity) and a trio of the really rather cute Little Gassers.

I did umm and aaah a bit back and forth but in the end I did also get the Surgical Staff box for McMourning:

I wanted a Rafkin (the chap in the centre who doesn't know how to wear his mask properly 😁) but finding a second edition one on his own was proving nigh-impossible, so I got this box.  It also adds three Guild Autopsies and a pair of Nurses.  I already have Nurses as my McMourning crew is the second edition version - but as they also have the Asylum keyword I can use them with Dr Grimwell so I'll still get use out of them.

Another crew I wanted to bolster a little was the Viktorias.  I first opted for the Hodgepodge Fate box to add the Outcast Effigy and Emissary to the collection:

This was mostly for the ol' mule Emissary but it doesn't hurt to have another option in the form of the Effigy.

I also picked out the Paid in Blood box of Outcast Versatiles:

Hans (the Vash the Stampede looking guy on the right) can provide some ranged threat and the dapper-but-deadly Midnight Stalker on the left adds (yet another) melee fighter to the Viks.  The box also includes a Malifaux Child - a rather sinister little thing that can copy the actions of others.

I also decided to show some love to Mei Feng - she was my first (and for a long time only) Crew that I had.  I wanted to make sure I had all of her Keyword - I started with the Explosive Material box;

This adds the burly Neil Henry and Mr Wheelbarrow-of-Doom himself Willie (seriously, he has a wheelbarrow full of dynamite).

I also got the Bayou Engineering box - I couldn't resist Sparks LeBlanc the Gremlin mechanic!

This also includes the Mechanized Porkchop and a trio of Survivors (Gremlins with grafted-on machinery parts).

I then turned my attention toward the Ten Thunders collection - I knew I wanted Minako Rei to add to the Last Blossom keyword so I got the Karmic Debt box:

The box also includes the other miniatures that Minako can summon in-game - a pair of Katashiro and the large and fiery Wanyudo.

I did go back and forth a bit but ultimately did get the Crime Syndicate box too for Last Blossom:

This box includes the tactician and teacher Yamaziko (on the left), a pair of Katanaka Crime Bosses (centre) and a couple of Katanaka Snipers (right).  Plenty of options now for Misaki's crew!

I turned towards the options for Asami - but I'm not a fan of the Tengu and Kamaitachi miniatures, so instead opted for the Oni from the Bayou - the Akaname:

These disgusting little Oni provide something quite a bit different to the rest of our collection for this keyword!

Finally for the Ten Thunders I got the Dawn Serpent - it was good value and can be used with both Last Blossom and Oni without the point tax:

I wanted to get a little something for the Neverborn - but didn't feel like the final Nephilim box (Corrupted Hounds).  Instead I opted for a Versatile box (which can see use when we branch out to other Neverborn masters) - Puppet Show:

This adds Vasilisa and a trio of Wicked Dolls she can summon (or who can be cheap hires of course).

Finally, I wasn't intending to get anything for the Bayou - not that there's nothing I want, but that I need to restock on the scenic bases for that faction.  As it turns out I had a couple of spare larger resin bases so decided to get the Whiskey Golem - with the intention of adding it to Mah out of keyword:

That's the lot - chances are I'll come back to Malifaux in a month or two for those Bayou reinforcements, but these gives me plenty to be assembling in the meantime!
