New Player Resources

[Justin]

Here are some helpful links and resourced for the new Malifaux player.

Here is an entire wiki dedicated to Malifaux: http://pullmyfinger.wikispaces.com/home

This page is particularly good starting out: http://pullmyfinger.wikispaces.com/Gathering+Supplies

The Wyrd Chronicles are a great place for more fluff, rules, painting guides and strategy: http://www.malifaux.com/Downloads.php and volume 4 has a particularly great article for beginners under Professor Pink Pontificates: http://www.malifaux.com/Downloads/Wyrd_Chronicles_v4.pdf

Joeyfaux is a youtube channel with a great introductory view of the game:

Justin hope you dont mind but...

Mini Reference Cards (http://tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/downloads/malifaux/reference/MiniReferenceCard.jpg)

and

Combat Chart (http://tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/downloads/malifaux/reference/MalifauxCombatChart.pdf)

These have helped me a lot with demos and such (if you laminate them you can also use the back to write your Encounter information such as Strategy, Schemes etc.).

I have a more up to date version of the Mini Reference Card here.

Some tool (i.e. me) has also done some youtube videos including a rather lengthy intro to the game. It can be seen at www.youtube.com/user/SoulstoneTrain.

There's a thread here (http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?33074-Suggested-Starter-Purchases-Spreadsheet-Thoughts) to try and come up with a basic starter suggestions list(s) for each master. Any feedback appreciated, with the intent of posting a guide here. I was going to post in the different faction areas, but decided instead to ask others to spread the word in the area they frequent. Thanks

Shame on you Justin! How could you forget wiki!

Malifaux Tactica Wiki: http://pullmyfinger.wikispaces.com/

We've got everything from basic introductions to the game to in-depth model tactics and discussions. It is a fan driven resource and exists for the sole reason of helping you and everyone else learn and enjoy the game.

Shame on you Justin! How could you forget wiki!

Clearly the power has went to his head(See the hat) and he forgot about us :)

[LucidLovecraft]

thank you guys these are really helping in getting me addicted to the game, also are there any lists of places to buys accessories like custom counters and terrain.

Again thanks!

[Omenbringer]

Custom Counters can be ordered from Litko (http://www.litko.net/).

As for terrain there are a lot of resources available for that, a quick forum search should turn up a few of the threads that contain useful links. Of course there are always terraclips to look as well.

Surprised I never posted here. In my signature I have links to the threads discussing the best way to approach starting each faction on a budget. Basically the macro version of Morella's thread. These are pre-ten thunder, but so far only Arcanist were changed significantly by that. Expecting some changes in Outcasts, but I need to wait for everything to get released before starting discussions again.
