Unboxing Art of War Studios Tokens for Malifaux

After deciding to start playing Malifaux I also decided to pick up some tokens to use playing the game.

Malifaux use a lot of effects that need to be kept track of in the game and their are markers than need to be placed on the board.  You can use spare bases or poker chips for markers and keep track of effects with paper or on your phone, but I decided to pick up some markers to use in game.

Starting Malifaux Part 2

Following my post about starting with Malifaux I thought I'd share my first purchases for the game.  Some of the thing's I picked up aren't necessary to play but should help or give a better experience so I decided to pick them up.

Starting Malifaux Part 1

Malifaux is a game I have talked about wanted to start before, you can read why I was looking for a new wargame and why Malifaux appealed to me here.

I have finally decided to take the plunge and get started with it.

Malifaux

If you read through this blog you will notice I stopped posting Warhammer 40,000 battle reports.  I have really stopped playing Games Workshop games because I can't afford to keep up with the cost.  I still have my Flesh Tearers army and the last set of rules/codex for them but I probably won't continue to buy more for it.  The issue is mainly the price, I love miniature wargames and all the back story for the universe, in fact I still keep up to date with the lore and read novels and stories based on the universe.  I can't afford to spend a large amount of money buying miniatures, updated rules and re-writing army lists because new codex's make my current ones underpowered.

I recently started looking for alternatives.  I had the idea of a skirmish style wargame like Necromunda.  The idea of smaller forces and less models means it will be cheaper to play.  I was put off Necromunda because it isn't supported by GW any more so I looked at others.  One I found that really appeals to me is Malifaux 2nd Edition.
