THE SOOEY PILL FULL

We’ll go through the factions one by one and discuss the changes. This time around, two Masters got a bit of help, and while the jury’s still out on Wong, it seems like Rasputina has really become a force to be reckoned with. That’s ambitious, but the company definitely knows what Keywords are underperforming and does their best to spruce them up. Malifaux has a lot of models, and the goal seems to be that they all see play at some point.

Wyrd’s approach to errata is much more scalpel than sledgehammer, though, and they usually do as much buffing as nerfing.

This is thus the first errata after the release of the Explorer’s Society models, and so the changes are concentrated there if you think the faction was a bit too strong, Wyrd evidently agreed with you, and some of the top performers were cut down to size.

Wyrd prefers not to errata a model more than once if they can help it (there are, of course, rare exceptions), and so they usually wait a full year after release to see if things are truly busted enough to need a change. The errata, meanwhile, was sorely needed. That’s all right, though Gaining Grounds 2 is in a really good place, and nobody will be too sorry to play with it for a month or two longer. This year, Wyrd surprised us all with an early errata drop– they released the changes in February, and here we are in April and they still haven’t (at time of writing) released the new Gaining Grounds. This is an annual ritual, usually accompanying the new Gaining Grounds packet. Birds are chirping, crocuses are popping out of the ground, and Wyrd has taken out its Balance Hatchet and made some, uh, “adjustments.”
