Malifaux All Factions Explained!

[@DefectiveDice]

What faction are you most interested in?

[@200iqgryplanszowe]

ES of course.

[@jack-a-lopium]

Going for Lady J, there's a new limited edition set which I'm interested in, so that has sold me on the game 😸

[@DefectiveDice]

@@jack-a-lopium yes, that set is gorgeous. Im super tempted even though I already have a Lady J crew. Really great way to get in as a new player though.

[@greyjedi4794]

Gremlins

[@Ironfrenzy217]

I'm think Ten thunders. Adaptability sound nice.

[@jacobcdenton8524]

The neverborn family tree is cool, I've not looked into their lore much and just thought of them as the monsters. This sheds them in a new light!

[@DefectiveDice]

It is, lot of interesting info. There's a ton of information about them in the Neverborn RPG supplement From Nightmares.

[@frankytheshipwright7680]

Now I comment first! One faction that surprised me was resurrectionists, normally I am not mega into necromancers but Malifaux really gave me a love for necromancy and related stuff.

[@DefectiveDice]

I think that makes sense. Most of them have a bit more to them than your run of the mill baddie. Except Seamus, hes just a bad guy :)

[@23chdavis]

Your ending Theme is the best on KZbin!! Thank you for presenting yet another great video! My first Core Box was Reva Cortinas, but I've moved on to have some of every faction, LOL! I've only played a few games, all with Parker Barrows, but looking forward to playing with the other crews. Can't wait for your breakdowns in the coming weeks!

[@DefectiveDice]

thank you! I was also really pleased with the track, so im glad other folks enjoy it as well. To me, it seemed like a mix of hip-hop and 16bit video game music, which is a great fusion of things I love. Reva and Parker is a cool mix. I think a lot of folks end up playing across factions to focus on all the masters they love. Its cool that 3rd edition facilitates that since you don't have to declare your faction until you see the table and the scheme pool.

[@Boshea241]

Guild: Cowboys and Bureaucrats Resurrectionist: Necromancers with a PR friendly name Arcanists: Miners, Magicians, and Mobsters Neverborn: Lovecraftian Nightmares Outcasts: Mercenaries and Miscellaneous Bayou: Obligatory Green-skin faction Ten Thunders: Asian crime syndicate melting pot Explorer's Society: Bored rich assholes

[@RvBnerd618]

Bruce wayne, an ES player: "That's really reductive."

[@Drumfreak127]

Incredible video, I learned a ton of stuff I haven’t even heard yet!

[@DefectiveDice]

Thank you, glad you picked up some new stuff!

[@VentrueMinis]

Great video, thanks! Getting into Malifaux with Lucius :)

[@DefectiveDice]

Very cool, he is a fun one!

[@phftheebonidiot637]

The Breachside Broadcast is amazing I cant recommend it enough. Its an official reading of the games lore. Its much easier to play around masters you want as opposed to whole factions with the addition of keywords also.

[@DefectiveDice]

Yeah, it's very good if you prefer to listen rather than read

[@BlizzAz]

I've got some of every faction; but I'm ALL in where it comes to Bayou, and have all the masters and am working on the titles.

[@DefectiveDice]

Well I apologize for all of the Gremlin slander in this video then :)

[@BlizzAz]

@@DefectiveDice lol

[@TickBallsOut]

big fan of the Guild! Cool video

[@DefectiveDice]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@ellyeahbrother9678]

I’ve settled on Explorers Society because what better way to deal with the horrors of Malifaux than CAPITALISM?

[@DefectiveDice]

I mean, the tagline is "bad things happen"

[@SinaKec]

Great art as usual!

[@DefectiveDice]

Thanks, with the exception of the talking head background, and the thumbnail, all of the art is from Wyrd, mostly pulled from the books themselves.

[@Sharpevil]

Thankfully the decision was made for me, since every swag bag at last year's Adepticon came with a random Malifaux master sprue. It just took me most of a year to discover that it was Malifaux, since it doesn't say Malifaux anywhere on the sprue or rules card! Here's hoping I like Titania. I think I'd have picked the Neverborn anyway.

[@DefectiveDice]

Oo that's cool! Post some pics somewhere if you need help identifying them

[@kellenfoster7893]

Okay it feels like the Outcasts, Ten Thunders, Explorers Society. Are my front runnners.

[@DefectiveDice]

Good choices! I did similar videos on each faction to help you pick a master, maybe that'll help you narrow further

[@indyvisualist]

I am just getting into the game and I chose the Arcanists. Always like the rebels with the cause of freedom. I really like Kaeris but I felt an army with her as the leader would be a little bit a of a one trick pony as it is all fire, Fire, FIRE! So I am starting out with Ironsides and I intend to have a strong Unionized army with a few constructs for good measure. We'll see how it works.

[@DefectiveDice]

Long live queen Ironsides!

[@200iqgryplanszowe]

interesting. Finally i know how ES deal with Guild

[@DefectiveDice]

Yeah, its surprisingly peaceful. I guess the best way to be in the Guilds good side is to pay them off lol

[@WarLore]

great vid

[@DefectiveDice]

Appreciate it 😊

[@atomicgator5207]

I really want to like the Neverborn more. I like the monsters aesthetic and I like trickery mechanics. But my issue with them is that they're argueabley the good guys! And I like playing the bad guys. 😆

[@DefectiveDice]

Haha have you considered the Guild then?

[@atomicgator5207]

@@DefectiveDice Heh. I can't deny I am partial to Sonia Creed. She certainly has a wickedness to her. But truth be told, I'm loving a lot of the Bayou models. So I will probably start with one of them.

[@BlastedRodent]

I ended up getting four masters from four factions. I regret nothing.

[@DefectiveDice]

Sometimes the best choice, is a little bit of everything :)

[@Srelde]

Why would you not rerecord the intro to get rid of the flickering doll? So hard to watch

[@Melinthus]

I just started Malifaux and chose the Guild Faction. They seemed the easiest to learn the game with

[@DefectiveDice]

Yeah, that's a good call. Also have some good crews to try to draw new players in.
