Henchman Hardcore is different from standard Malifaux in the following ways:
- Encounter Size is 30 Soulstones.
- Round Time Limit is 45 minutes.
- Only Henchmen can be chosen as a Crew’s Leader.
- A Leader’s Cost is not treated as 0 when hiring.
- A Crew’s Soulstone Pool can never exceed 3 (any excess Soulstones are discarded).
- Player’s have a maximum hand size of 4.
- Player Crews must contain exactly 4 models and are fixed for the event, and thus cannot change between games.
- Leaders have an Action limit of 2 instead of 3.
- Models cannot be Summoned. If a model would be Summoned, the Summon effect is ignored.
- The Helping Hand ability listed on Effigy models is ignored.
- VP from Strategies may be scored during Turn 1.
- Encounters are predetermined:
- Deployment: Wedge
- Strategy: Plant Explosives, as listed in GG0. • Schemes: Vendetta & Assassinate
