What will be the 9th faction for Malifaux?

There are a lot of exciting things Wyrd might do with Malifaux in the future, and one thing a lot of folks speculate about is what might make a good 9th faction for the game. I have my own ideas, so tell me what you think.

i can't believe they added Space Marines to malifaux

[@DefectiveDice]

Wowow noone saw it coming

[@xspaner216]

We can play who right now in Malifaux??!!

[@razorsrequiem]

I would love the Masters from the Tyrants would be great. Or Collodi comes back with a new puppet Faction

[@DefectiveDice]

A whole faction? That would be sick

[@wiilov]

Full Puppet Faction is a Go.

[@napoleon6071]

The Ancients. The masters of old Malifuax.

[@DefectiveDice]

Hell yeah!

[@derkrischa3720]

If they create some "Ancients" faction, I hope that only Jacob lynch 2 is the dual master. With Jacob 1 being just a Thunders Master

[@robertsmall8919]

I remember when the game was only 5 factions.... I feel like if they added a 9th faction to the game separating out the fae makes sense. I could also see possibly doing something like the gibbering hoard for one of the crew. I like the idea of expanding into other parts of the world of Malifaux. I will also state I dislike dual factions master so any we can make clean moves with I feel is good and that also opens up for adding more to the factions that lost the masters.

[@DefectiveDice]

Yeah it's always better to get more new characters in the game, but I feel at least a few should jump over to make it feel familiar

[@AngryBogle]

I'm a big fan of M&SU being it's own faction now with Ramos not being in the picture. I feel he was the glue that kept all the Arcanists together and now it feels the heads of the Arcanists only make deals and temporary alliances to benefit themselves.

[@DefectiveDice]

Yeah I think their future is still unclear, but if Ramos comes back I think things will have to be different. I don't see him just taking back his old position

[@AngryBogle]

@@DefectiveDice I don't see him coming back to the M&SU but if I remember correctly he was loved by the union if only because they didn't know his actual agenda. I feel M&SU has so much potential and laid groundwork for new masters, models, ect.

[@dannylavoie8348]

Court of two would make a good new Malifaux faction

[@DefectiveDice]

Oo that would be interesting

[@MrSkabrus]

New factions for the other side would be cool

[@DefectiveDice]

We should still be getting sandmen, but 3K still isn't out and I'm sad 😭

[@cannedletuce]

Didn't Marcus come to neverborn because of Titania and she gave him some power? Wouldn't he make sense to join Titania too? Especially since Titania seems to be tied with all sorts of beasts just like Marcus.

[@DefectiveDice]

They aren't exactly working together, it's more like a tense truce. But I'm not sure what makes Marcus make sense in a fae faction. Even though I'd love to see that cuz Marcus is my favorite master to play

[@marcbennett9232]

a fae faction does sound pretty cool. im relatively new, and not totally up on all the lore. but I would love to see the DUA as its own faction. some sort of secret organization highly specialized. I just like the idea of it. do we know for sure they are adding a faction?

[@DefectiveDice]

Don't know anything for sure, just speculating about what could be coming. DUA would make a cool faction, though it might be hard to develop that little group into a whole 9 master thing

[@marcbennett9232]

​@@DefectiveDice it doesnt have a ton of overlap with current factions, masters would be very different both in theme and powers, perhaps with an emphasis on stealth. im sure it would be possible to come up with 9 masters for a special agent, secret society faction. id be all over it lol. do you think we are close to a new edition?

[@BlizzAz]

A Snek faction might be cool. I'd think though, that a faction with strong ties to the Other Side might make a good addition... But please, Wyrd, for the love of gawd, release the last 2 starters before adding any new factions.

[@DefectiveDice]

Haha well we know one is coming soon. Hopefully we will have both by the end of the year

[@TheHarleqwin]

Just 18 different titles for Collodi.

[@DefectiveDice]

🤣🤣 I know many people who would switch to that faction

[@Hrogoff]

So... what would happen to Lucius? Be out of the Guild and play both sides of the Neverborn factions?

[@DefectiveDice]

Well we don't really know what Lucius is, but maybe this would give us a clue as to where he really comes from?

[@fredricknoe3114]

The Darkenists are finally coming! Edit 5:04 What about Lucious Dishonored?

[@user-mx5pq9rk8f]

I hope not there's plenty, I understand they need to sell more and more models but.
