Malifaux miniatures invade Willow Grove

Posted by Eric On December - 1 - 2011

 

 

At the request of many regular Warhammer 40K players our Willow Grove store will now be stocking the Malifaux miniatures game!  As described on the Wyrd Games’ website:

Trigger-happy gunslingers, misguided Victorian science, hungry undead, and monsters hidden in every shadow; these are the terrors that will plague you in Malifaux.  Are you willing to risk your soul for a chance at great wealth and power? Because it’s the only thing you have worth trading. In Malifaux, you lead your crew in the battle for control of The Breach, a dark portal to a world of limitless magic.

All aboard! Malifaux is the end of the line.

We will be stocking the rules manual as well as the box sets for each of the five main factions:

  • Arcanists
  • Guild
  • Resurrectionists
  • Neverborn
  • Outcasts

If you would like to special order any specific figures, please stop by our Willow Grove store to place an order.  For more information on game play and characters, visit the games’ official website here.
