Anyone playtest the new Hamelin yet? From cursory reading, the changes seem pretty... debilitating.

No thoughts so far? Is the list that bad, or are Kirai/Von Schill so unpopular that no one plays them?

Hi all, after reading some tactica and some rather insightful posts about Kirai, I've decided to make a list for her. It's a 25SS for friendly/semi-competitive games. The masters I'm most likely to face are Lilith, Pandora, Sonnia and Ramos. Ressurectionists Crew - 25 - Scrap Kirai Ankoku -- 6 Pool Lost Love [2ss] Von Schill [10ss] Seishin [2ss] Seishin [2ss] Seishin [2ss] Seishin [2ss] Seishin [2ss] The plan would be to outactivate the opponent with the Seishin, then use Kirai to summon Ikyrio/Shikome to attack stray targets. VS provides some shooting and serves as one of the heavy hitters. What do you think?

Hi all, after looking through all the available masters in this game, the dreamer strikes me as the one with the most original backstory/fluff (obviously, your mileage may vary ). I've read the PullmyFinger wiki, some old forum threads and Karn's tactica, but the latter two are apparently outdated, since the dreamer received a major overhaul in the meantime. My question is: how viable is the dreamer in the current metagame, compared to the other top tier masters? Judging from the older threads, he was quite the powerhouse when he first came out, but I couldn't find any new threads about him, and the list of changes he has received seem (at least, to my inexperienced view) rather harsh. E.g. I couldn't imagine someone fielding alps anymore. So, what does the community think about him? By the way, is there an up-to-date tactica for him (other than the wiki)?

Hi all, I've recently had the good fortune of acquiring a Perdita Ortega Box for a good price, and I've been playing around with the crew creator. This is what I've come up with: Guild Crew - 25 - Scrap Perdita Ortega -- 8 Pool Enslaved Nephilim [2ss] Francisco Ortega [5ss] Sidir Alchibal [8ss] Witchling Stalker [4ss] It's for friendly games, with standard scenario rules. Since I'm fairly new to Malifaux, I've opted to go with a large starting cache, to ensure that I'm fairly safe. What do the residential guild players think? Sidir Alchibal will obviously be a Proxy until the model is released. The only thing I'm unsure about is whether or not I should exchange Francisco for an Executioner to gain some better melee abilities.

What are people's opinions on the Jakuuna Ubume? A worthy summon, or way too situational?

Thanks for the swift reply! Do I really need a total of 6 Onryo? Will there be ample opportunity to summon that many during play? Also, the only reason I'm considering the Night Terrors is due to their speed, which may come in handy during objectives, or are they redundant? From the Queen reference, I assume that Kirai+Von Schill is a rather popular combo? Or is it a common trap that many new players fall into?

Hello all, I'm considering starting Ressers with Kirai, and was hoping for your input on what to purchase. The goal is to have a versatile selection of models for 35SS games Thus far, my list includes: 1x Spirits of Vengeance Box 2x Seishin Blister 1x Shikome 1x Lost Love 1x Night Terrors Blister 2x Gaki Blister Does this sufficiently cover the bases? Or is there something I've missed, or something that is not really needed? Also, I've considered using Von Schill as a henchman with her. What are your experiences with him when paired with Kirai?

Hello all, first post on these boards! I was introduced to Malifaux by some fellow gamers, and have played some demo games with borrowed crews. Now, the time has come for me to pick my own. After some research, I've narrowed it down to 4 masters: Colette, Kirai, Dreamer or Hamelin. While searching for tacticas on how to play/design a Hamelin crew, I've stumbled accross multiple threads declaring him an "NPE", calling his design overpowered, and the mention of possible errata that will cuddle him. Looking at the Errata/Fixes section, I can't tell whether his current errata is already the one that's supposed to "bring him in line with other masters". What I'd like to ask is: 1) Has Hamelin already been cuddled? If so, in what ways/magnitude (e.g. Dreamer)? 2) If not, are cuddles to be expected anytime soon? 3) Is he still considered a viable competitive pick?
