    Hi, Can someone explain to me how Dr Meredith's alchemical vial attack works? I don't understand it at all.

    I looked at Von Schtook but it seemed you could only summon with Lovelace by killing a living model. Looking through things Kirai seems like the only Master still able to just summon something, though once a turn like was mentioned. Just read Asura, yeah that sort of thing was what I was inherently looking for. I liked mindless zombies previously.

    Hi, I played Malifaux ALOT back in first ed and some of the start of second ed. Haven't played in a number of years but some friends are playing it so I thought I would look back into it and see how third ed is. Now I mostly played resurrectionists with a hint of outcasts (though I think I had at least one gang from each faction before ten thunders came in), but I can't help but notice that a large amount of raising zombies of various sorts has all but disappeared. Now I know Nic was mainly about reanimating and has gone the way of the dodo, but Sheamus could summon belles, McMourning would recycle through corpse counters reasonably well, hell I remember Levi from Outcasts would essentially kill and reanimate himself every turn. Now I imagine some of this has been for balancing issues, but it seems to have almost gone completely, it was one of the things I enjoyed about playing Res faction, so am I missing something? Has it been put onto some gang that I haven't noticed or has it just been mostly removed from the game?

    I for one am absolutely appauled at the shipping prices, last year me and some friends pooled our order and got our stuff for about $15-20. This year our shipping order would cost us $77 and that is just unacceptable it is nearly doubling the cost of our order. I would be better suited ebaying this off someone else and give them my money instead.

    Howdy folks, Here is the first part of my Ashes and Dust model, whilst I still am not a fan of the model this was fun to paint.
  6. ben th3 bear
    Also in regards to Ashes and Dust, against a crew say like Lilith who would benefit from killing enforcers to buff nephilim, is it worth taking or dropping for something else entirely?

    Oh good I'm glad I was at least doing that bit right (was going to use Alyce to try and give him reactivate before realizing that would do absolutely nothing except put him to 1 wound)
  8. ben th3 bear
    I did read it right that because he is immune to conditions he couldnt be slowed or poisoned or anything like that correct?

    First time playing with Ashes and Dust in 2nd ed (yes I realize I am somewhat late to the party here) good lord is that thing nasty! Playing against McMourning he killed Sebastion, Rogue Necromany, took a bunch of wounds off McMourning himself and then gained me a bunch of VPs through breakthrough

    Hello, A random thought popping into my head when playing a game earlier this week with my Levi crew. You know how he keeps dying and coming back through his waifs, has anyone stopped to think about in terms of visually what happens with that process? I mean how does his corpse turn into a waif and how a waif turns into him? I was just seeing if people had thought about this and what their theories about what takes place. I am not sure myself about what I think happens, my brain usually turns to gory horror film based things but I don't think bursting out of skin really fits...

    Plus with a reasonable walk and incorporeal he can float around to get objectives and place markers if need be. It was definitely better having the 3 anchors though (doxy,hanged,alyce)
  12. ben th3 bear
    I tried using the Hanged and Dead Doxie tonight and they both performed rather well. Hanged helped out tear apart Seamus and his zombie hoes with terrify being incredibly useful. Dead doxie was useful for moving my own stuff about alongside a rotten belle to manipulate the board position.

    I agree with what is written there, he can't trigger an event to happen when he dies as he does not die. It makes the difference between dying and "reduced to 0 wounds"
  14. ben th3 bear
    It was pretty good, amazingly tactical game. With the belles being able to manipulate the board it meant being more defensive with valedictorian allowing a more stable anchor. Alyce got mobbed after she killed a rogue necromancy in one activation but she hung in for a surprisingly long time. Though with only the two anchors it was quite hairy at times but with both being durable it was ok.

    This evening I played a game with the undead side of pariah. It was a 35ss game and I took: Levi Pariah of Bone Desolate Soul Rusty Alyce Valedictorian 2 Rotten Belles I was against McMourning and it was a ridiculously close and great fun game. Rotten Belles were great for both pushing their stuff towards levi or pushing levi towards the belles and getting him into range. Valedictorian was good for objective running and can take a pounding.

    I usually prime stuff in grey, unless I am particularly wanting something with black recesses in which case I paint them black.

    Thank you for the detailed critiqued. Levi: I did the eyes as they are to represent his manifestation into avatar. Yeah the mold line was horrible I did what I could but it was unfortunately a nasty join on that leg. Mechanical Rider: I haven't had much experience with object lighting and I will be testing it out on some less important models. Hooded Rider: I am unsure as to your comment about the barding is what you said a compliment or a critique perhaps you could elaborate for me. As to the muscle yes you are right, I was being overly cautious with the model I didn't want to try out too many things with it. Guild Rider: You are right about it needing something in the head area, and I appreciate the compliment about the bone I have painted undead and skeletons for many years. Dead Rider: I was always worried about going too far with this one, it was the model I tried the most things with. Again the head needs some variation to it. Bases: Thanks to all for the kind words of the bases, it is a rather simple process really. Base is a thick coat of Agrellan Earth from the GW technical paints with a drybrush of Vallejo Iraqui Sand. The rocks are Cork from model railway terrain with a basecoat of Vallejo German pale brown with a drybrush of Vallejo Ivory.

    Close, its the chaos Chimera box top.

    Hello, Here is my Avatar Levi and his crew of the 4 horsemen inspired by the biblical reference.
  20. ben th3 bear
    It's also more about things like the nothing beast and those adorable little critters that make up the rest of her crew box as well.

    Hello, Since I am currently unsuccessful in my attempts at getting a copy of the Nightmare Tara crew, I am wondering whether people have considered models from alternate ranges to represent the models in Taras crew as I would really like to attempt a crew of hers.
  22. ben th3 bear
    Hello, I am looking for the Nightmare Tara crew is there anyone in the UK that has one for trade, I'd prefer not the US due to frankly ridiculous import tax I would have to pay on an already expensive crew. Any offers can negotiate with models I already have along with cash PM me if there is any interest.
  23. ben th3 bear
    if the model doesn't exist I think it is a very grey, blurred line. I would make sure it was very obvious that the model has had some noticeable change to make it easy to discern that is not the original sculpt and that it was its new representation. At the end of the day it says at the end it is down to the TO's discretion so if you make your case a TO supportive of the hobby should accept it.
  24. ben th3 bear
    what do you mean by summoner heavy?
  25. ben th3 bear
    can someone explain to me why hodgepodge is so good with levi? is it purely for the potential ss gaining or is there something else i am missing?
