So This Unexpected Malifaux Release

So looking through the upcoming miniatures list for Malifaux and saw this:




Flying Piglets? Gotta love those Gremlins.

Update 4/1/18:

OK, so they updated the upcoming section and it was not at all what I had expected.


It seems the Taxidermists have been going off the deep end as this is complete madness. That said, still going to go for it as at least one or two might go well for a pig themed army. I could greenstuff them a bit if I wanted them to blend in more and look less Undead, though that skull head one seems a lost cause. Should get a Taxidermist set to work with them theme wise perhaps. Actually, from what I've heard, they are better off being summoned then purchased, so perhaps a Taxidermist would be useful. Then again, they are said to be not that useful, but since when has something being useless stopped me from using it. I play for fun, not power gaming. Piglet's away....

There was also a few others that caught my eye.


Despite us Gremlins getting ripped off in that last world wide campaign (actually, we get ripped off in every world wide campaign), I feel that the three characters transformations are a great example of what being in the world of Malifaux does to you. That said, I do like these two characters and will consider them as possible additions further down the path. I wonder how well someone like Vogel will work with a Marcus crew, but I feel adding Marlena to my Outcasts would be most amusing.


And finally, these little guys feel like something that is both silly, yet somewhat disturbing. I would be interested in their rules to see if it would be worth it adding them to my Colette crew or if they would work well with say, Ramos and his crew.


Beyond that, I guess the Bone Piles look pretty awesome as well, though since I don't have a Resurrectionist crew, I don't have much reason for getting them (you know, other then getting some nice mini's to paint).

So yeah, they seem to have a few things here and there I like, but not sure what (if any) I'll get. That said, perhaps I could grab a few things to stock up and do an Undead display piece (say, that skull head pig, bone piles, night terrors, graveyard spirit. Hell, little gassers are Gremlin corpses filled with toxic gas, could add them in too). Don't know if they should be glued too it or if they should be on bases and have slots for them to sit into. Either way, could be something fun to do.
