Malifaux – Rail Crew – Assembly

It’s been a few weeks since I wrote. I knew this, but since I’ve been busy I didn’t know that others knew this as well until I was having a beer last night with a friend who asked why his Warhammer feed section hadn’t been updated recently. Instead of asking why he didn’t have more exciting people in his feed, I said that I had a post lined up very shortly.

I’ll try to keep this hobby related :). I moved 2 weeks ago to a smaller apartment, and it’s been a real struggle trying to fit all of my stuff (most of it hobby) into this place. My girlfriend has been a sweetheart about listening and understanding why I need an entire large IKEA shelf filled with bits of unassembled and occasionally broken plastic, dice, airbrush, tape measures. (“That would make awesome terrain!”). But there’s still just the regular stuff of life to put places, and that’s been difficult as well. Having your life uprooted that makes it hard to get back to a regular, easy schedule. My desk is a mess from moving, and I haven’t even brought my Escalation League stuff out of their case to work on them! I’m going to be so behind next month…

The new Malifaux rulebook came in the mail last Tuesday and I quickly devoured the knowledge contained within. After gorging myself and slowly rising, I found the moving box containing “bitz”, found the sprue containing Rail Crew, found the glue and the cutters and hobby knife and oxid paste and went to work. 2 days later I have a Malifaux crew assembled and ready to go.

Someone still needs to teach me how to play Malifaux, because although the rules have been forced into my brain, they have no context, they are free floating rules, with no basis in reality. I require grounding. I hope to receive grounding this weekend at the CHOP! September event on the 29th. You should come and play models and dice with me.
