Okay cool that does make me feel better. I guess I was just deceived by the mock ups. I've attached a file to show them cause they do look cool. Still the models came out nice for this one so I guess I can't complain to much.

So a friend snagged the lovely backdraft box for me and my roommate at Gencon and I just got around to building my part last night (my roommate plays arcanists and I play gremlins so we split it). Unfortunately I think one of my whiskey gamin is miscast as the image online has a cool wheel thing on top and mine just has a disc. So if some kind fellow bayou denizen could confirm that I'd be grateful. Sadly my roommate already tossed the box after abscounding with the booklets and her models so I don't think I can do a replacement form anyways(I don't have a picking sticker at this point), but If still like to know.

Honestly I'm stoked for Bayou in M3E and the name change is part of that. When you look at the other factions the names are all more organizations and not species labels. Bayou just makes more sense to me... I put down Guild as my main faction on the playtest but the more I look at M3E I think that might be a lie lol. Anyone know where I can get a banjo?

Well, I guess I don't play Neverborn anymore (I mostly just played Lilith). Cautiously excited for most of the changes I like the idea of more thematic crews. I will miss playing with McMourning, but honestly the excitement of getting to use him vanished real quick in M2E. The Doug I liked playing in M1E (and the reason I play the game) was gone long before that, M2E changed him entirely and I never really liked the switch myself. Still will probably register for the playtest and like I said cautiously optimistic overall. I am kinda mad about Collodi though, my husband was decided to start getting back into the game last week with his favourite master and now he's kind of going away. I know there is this dead man's hand thing but I honestly have a hard time trusting in that. To many other companies have run off with that trust before. Plus if you can't really buy the box and there's no new model support it's very discouraging. I get storywise the removal of Ramos, Lilith, and Nicodem who have been set up for this for a while, but Collodi just seems mean to me lol.

Cool! Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah sadly college student tends to leave me broke even with my job. :-( But what can you do (obviously whinge on the internet, but I meant something productive) lol? I'll still try to see if I can at least get a backer for just the shirt and stuff (assuming that's you know a thing), but I'm glad to hear it. Glad to know that most things are for general release though and thank you very much for the quick response.

Hey, so I keep desperately trying to raise money to actually back the other side, but after months it just isn't happening. I've accepted that, but I still really love the shirt and some of the artwork available. So I know the models are available after the backer kit, or well I hope they are ;-), but will we be able to purchase the other accoutrements afterwards? I really love those fate decks with the faction symbols and that Kings Empire shirt. Thanks. :-)

See I don't have that email. But maybe it's because I just used the backerkit and wasn't able to back the kickstarter. My email is basically just a reciept that allows me to update my payment information and shipping address. My experience is on both mobile and desktop devices.

So how do I do this, I can see a button to cancel my whole backerkit order, but nothing to swap a few items in and out. Was debating not getting a patch and getting some more units, but can't figure this out.

I actually agree, love the model and the rules. Will probably be buying her as soon as I can(although since I already own all the Guild Masters currently out that was almost guaranteed). But yeah that art has a super creepy looking face, not certain exactly what's making her look so creepy either. That smile is certainly a huge bit of it.

That always got me as a kid. Wait did that say Gobi desert? Where is the Gob Desert again? *looks at map* *insert dismayed small child face* That disney movie makes so much less sense now...

As pointed out on the other thread it's called a gada. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gada_(mace) Also I'm super stoked and apparently have to play Arcanists now. :-)

Wow, super pretty models, though i will say I kind of wish it was two girls and a guy, just to mix it up(normally they're all men/women or two men and a girl). However still lovely models and I will undoubtedly be adding them to my guild collection.

Oh my gosh, I think I'm in love. I do I might become a one faction man when that thing hits shelves (Instead of like a seven faction man). I do agree a bit on the boots though, seems weird they go past his knees. Hopefully not to late to maybe perform a slight tweak there. As for the sword, I like the plain undecorated look to it. This is the emissary of The Guild, there is no decoration, there is no art, there is only the LAW. Can't comment on it looking less like a sword as I am admittedly not familiar with how swords look irl.

So, hopefully this question hasn't been asked like twelve times before, but my google searching did nothing and couldn't find it in the errata(which currently appears to be down), but this one has come up several times, and while my current playgroup seems to have reached a consensus as we've started going to other areas and looking at stuff on the internet for M2E it seems people have some differing opinions. So with McMourning's Evidence Tampering upgrade it says "At the end of the game, any enemy scheme marker within 4" of this model becomes a friendly scheme marker instead." Now does this mean a single enemy scheme marker, or does it mean all enemy scheme markers within 4". We used to read it as all, but after seeing people saying one scheme marker only, and comparing it to Lucius' legalese upgrade, we think it's supposed to be just the one as Lucius' is very very specific about affecting all enemy scheme markers. However it always seems to start a discussion with people just sort of disagreeing and it all seems to get muddled. Honestly the wording of the card is ambiguous and oddly phrased, at least imho. So does anyone have a more definitive answer as to which way it is and why it is that way? Cause we're all super lost over here at this point. Thanks, Stepfan

I'll actually say that the Rouge Necromancy can work with Molly quite well when you add in Imbue Vigour/Terrible Secret. I've always had a problem with what you do when it dies though. Yin might be the answer that Sybelle has failed to be. In the end a lot of my games with Molly end up being trying to complete strategies/schemes that involve counter manipulation and not killing do to that very real limitation. I do think that's proven to be her only weakness as a master IMHO, though it is a fairly large one. I'm actually working on a big tactica for Molly on my blog, but I want to try out Yin first. I'll echo the Crooligan recommendation, the more I've used them the more I've found them to be amazing models. I've even started taking them with McMourning and Seamus without Molly. They have strengths that make me prefer them over the faster Night Terrors for Objective grabbing(namely I've found them very durable and capable of combat though no where near excelling).

If you have enough high cards you could Terrible Secret Zoraida, but it'll get risky as it's a WP resist, though Seamus' Trail of Fear aura can help with that. You'd still be at a negative twist, but now she's at two. If you think you can get the spell off without Seamus debuff then have him focus shoot her, now you're at a straight and she isn't. The plus flip to damage is also helpful.

I'm actually against the symbols as well, things annoy me enough in Warmachine/Hordes. Though I do worry at how non-descriptive some of the new cards are, was watching a game that had two new players in it, one of whom had Mei Feng. Neither of them could figure out what Arcane Reservoir or Lifer meant, and as I only caught the last turn I was unable to help them out. It appears neither term is defined in the little rulebook. They also had no idea how burning tokens worked, but that's just an annoying thing to find(especially as it gets called burning counters on half the things that have them).

I don't really have a preference. Even if they plastic'd the things I own I wouldn't buy new. And I'd buy the metal/plastic whichever was cheaper/I could get. I will say I've found Wyrd's plastics to generally be a pain to put together, but that can change with time.

I've found Molly amazing with McMourning if only for Terrible Secret so he almost always hits and is harder to hit back if it lives. A movement buff isn't bad either. Starting with a Flesh Construct on the field can also be a great idea, and you'll need at least one to summon anyways. You'll also want a Rouge Necromancy to summon at some point.

Out of question what denied you your opportunity with Molly? I started with Kirai and she isn't to bad, the important thing to remembering is that synergy and activation order is king with Kirai, even more so then a lot of other masters.

Yeah, you really need at least 2 Crooligans if you're bothering with them. Their best number is 3, but you can't do that without Molly.

Well I took him out with the Rouge Necromancy the other day. Charged, Fang Striked three times, got him down to 2 wounds and then he activated and went poof from poison.

True... but yeah. I manage to get this spell off with that totem successfully like half my games. Trying to get it off twice... well could be great, if you have the correct cards it's probably dead(depending on WP, SS use, opponents hand etc.). You still are limited to twice however(totem and then molly or totem and then totem), as a third would require totem, molly, totem like Zoraida's Obey chain but Molly's Totem goes down with her. Still it's a good thing to keep an eye out for, and Seamus' Trail of Fear can help boost that as well. A dead Von Schill is worth a high card and a stone easy.

Honestly I'd be tempted to burn a soulstone on Molly's "Philosophy of Uncertainty"(assuming he isn't leading the crew, though it might be better to use her totem if you have a red joker/high crows). Anything that can autokill negates slow to die healing so Seamus and Bete Noire can help with that. Hit him with Dr. McMourning and Summon a Rouge Necromancy on top of him. Just a few quick ideas, the man is a pest. I've found Belles are somewhat lackluster against him due to his high WP....

It would make me sad. I'm a huge malifreak at this point and haven't seen a reason to change any of the core rules.
