Editing Malifaux (section)

===2nd Edition===
Malifaux has completed the transition from 1.5 to 2nd edition, commonly named M2E. The first edition was know as a clunky mess of rules that was none the less loved by some parts of the fanbase, and 1.5th as the most up to date version of the 1st edition in general. This is also the time where all the newer people in the roster got in, like some of the Mercs and pretty much all of the Ten Thunders. At some point, Wyrd, the devs, though to give the game a new edition to keep up with [[Games Workshop|GWs]] [[Special:RecentChanges|recent]] failings, and began producing new and less convoluted rules for the game, among new plastic models. This edition should bring new players to the game and ease up play, generally making a reborn game with the best from the latest edition, the way new editions should be made. But Wyrd wasn't happy just redoing the rules. That wasn't barely enough for this new and bold attempt to get more people on the wagon. Redoing the rules wasn't enough at all. All models, as in, the ''entirety of their Malifaux range of models, was to be updated. '''At once,''''' [[Warmachine|Warma]][[Hordes]]-style.

This meant several things - First, they couldn't actually do them all at once, that would make the fanbase wait for months before they could play the game and was as such not profitable, so instead they split releases Wave one came out with the rules and a handful of masters for each faction. This meant that some were miffed their Master was neglected in favour of others, some to quit the game because of new rules and the slightly changed fluff and some again were unhappy they did all this in the first place. Basically, [[fun]] stuff. 

Wave 2 came out and finished the roster of masters, with all of them set to be released by October 2015. 

Wave 3 launched, introducing a new campaign system and campaign only Avatars, souped up versions of each master, and a small handful of models for each faction including the Emissaries whom give a specific buff to each master and can alter themselves to fit in with the masters tactics.

Wave 4 was released at GenCon 2016. It introduced 7 new masters, one for each faction, and additional upgrades to "fix" underpowered models. There was also new models that help shake up the meta.

In the end, with new shiny models, (slightly) simplified rules Malifaux is now a game that's not just for reserved fans - It's for new dudes as well, and is currently recruiting at [[FLGS]] næar you!
