Thank you both. I've been out of the Malifaux scene since the public beta and was aware of the program, but hadn't seen it in operation.

Is Kitty Dumont going to be available for purchase separate from the Lynch box for one year? Same question for Levi's Scavengers.

After rereading it a few times, I think you are right.

The text from the High River Monk's text use "attached" (lower case) and "Attached" (upper case). I'm guessing based on the wording of the ability that "attached" (lower case) refers to the verb where the upgrade is Attached to the Leader, and "Attached" (upper case) refers to the state of the upgrade being on the leader. This would mean if the High River Upgrade starts the turn Attached to the Leader and later in the turn it is removed then attached the monks would benefit from the action of attaching the upgrade. Does that seem correct?

Finished my wanyudo. Very happy with him.

Some old west themed Malifaux terrain I've been working on. These first few are pretty simple, soon I'd like to start adding steam punk elements at some point. First few. I made the two out houses and some fences first. Then the little house. I made a base for the house from blue house insulation foam (extruded polystyrene). During a game the house can be removed the just the base used to mark the position. This way models can easily be move around "inside" the house or it can be easily removed and replaced to measure LOS or range. I marked the door (double-thick) and windows (single-thick) with brown wood grain strips. This is my next attempt. I'l make a base for it just like the first one, but have no plans to represent the second story. Maybe on my next one I'll do separate stories. These first two have been pretty simple test runs. Construction is pretty simple. A couple years ago I bought some PDF files for making paper terrain, and whipped up enough buildings for several tables for Malifaux tournaments I was running. For those of you unfamiliar; paper terrain is terrain made by printing a pre-decorated design on paper then cutting, folding, pasting to make a 3D piece of terrain. I printed the designs onto card stock and once build reinforced it with corrugated cardboard. I recommend this for any henchmen in need of terrain. I could whip one out if a couple of hours, once reinforced with cardboard they are pretty durable. Unless abused I could see them lasting for years. They are also easy to transport. Since they are just paper and cardboard you can stack them in bin with no padding and not worry about them damaging each other and are very light. Any way. I decided to take a few to the next level. So I glued wood coffee stir sticks and parts made from insulation foam to them. At some point I'll probably build some with removable rooves, decorated interiors, etc.

I'm converting my monks to be Last Airbender themed. So far...

Its not quite this light in RL, just my poor photography skills. It was a while ago I painted these guys, but I think I started with very light colors and did a series for very thin washes to build up the color in the recesses while keeping the high point very light. I probably came back with some layering of light colors on the high points as well.

Thanks guys, you are the best.

Hello, A local shop owner has a couple unidentified models. He thinks they are Wyrd models, but we're not sure what they are. Can anyone identify either of these? Model 1) Model 2)

Thank you.

Versatile says "Actions on this card may only be taken once during the a units Activation." Does that mean if you have three Snapping Head assets attached you can make three Snapping Jaws attacks, one for each Snapping Heads card, or does it mean you can only take one Snapping Jaws attack for no matter how many Snapping Head assets are attached since it is the same action reprinted multiple times?

It doesn't matter what the hiring rules are. You will see the most efficient crews played over and over in competition, so the only solution to this is good game balance.

You might be right. I depends on how you define average. I went with odds are you will flip it at least 50% of the time. My math could also be off, but while I'm not 100% sure it is correct I have very high confidence it is.

I was wondering about the odds of flipping different cards given different hand sizes, , (not done yet), etc. So I generated some tables and figured would be easy to determine exactly what a was worth. Once I had the tables it wasn't as easy as I thought. I posted the tables on line as well as my thoughts what a is worth. Here's a link to the tables: http://glowingsaber.com/math.html I've put a copy of my thoughts here. I'm wonder what everyone else thinks a is worth. How much is a worth? On average a single card flip will yield a 7, a flip will yield a 10, and a an 11. Does that mean Ml 5 with and Df 8 are equivalent? No. If each player has an unfiltered hand (no holdovers from last round, no Rush of Magic, etc.) of six cards then an attacker with has 8 cards to choose from and the defender has 7 to choose from. If you look at any given result (e.g. having a 6 +) the attacker has at most a 4.8% advantage and the advantage is less than a 1% for a little over half the results. In a nutshell early in the turn the attacker will need to cheat in a card 3 at least higher than the defenders to with the duel. No assume both players have exhausted their hands are relying on just top decking what they need. The attacker now has a significant advantage. They have a better percentage chance of getting any given result or better, peaking at a 25.3% advantage for a 7+ or 8+. A 13+ only has a 8.5% advantage, but that is nearly double the chances of the defender flipping a 13+. Then again if the defender flips a 10 they need a 13+ just to tie. I though once I generated these probability tables it would be easy to answer this question, but it definitely is not simple. IMHO, a is definitely not as good as +3, is probably not as good as +2, and is probably better than +1. I would say a is roughly equal to +1.5.

I've started reworking the red jorogumo. I broke off the top of the glaive, unfortunately one of the models that were not designed to survive the table top, so I've replaced that. I've also been wanting to make an Asami-gumo. In the end I decided just go with a female Jororgumo. The only real difference would probabaly be the hair and back of the head. I've never really be happy with how the red turned out, so I'm gong to do some work on that as well, I still haven't decided what though...

Round 1: HH Deployment: Close Strategy: Hard Core Turf War Schemes: Assassinate Time: 45 Min Hardcore Turf War "Don't you dare," Nicodem squinted his eyes at the coroner. "If you say it, there will be death. If it slips from that cobweb of thoughts and delusions you call a mind, and pushes past your tongue to rush past your lips, I'll end this. I won't hesitate, blood's bad enough here. This is my cemetery, these are my bodies. MINE!" McMourning couldn't control himself. He choked back the words at first, but his wide grin overcame him. "This graveyard ain't big enough for the both of us." Dark will guided the bones of Nicodem's zombies as they struck from the shadows. Dark will and fury. Setup Place a single Turf Marker at the Center of the table. Victory Points At the end of each Turn, a Crew earns 1 VP if it has two or more non-Peon models within 6" of the Turf Marker. Assassinate (C) The opposing leader must die! This Scheme begins the game unrevealed. If the enemy Leader is killed or sacrificed, reveal this Scheme. If the enemy Leader is killed or sacrificed, gain 2 VP. If this happens on or before Turn 4, score 3 VP instead. Round 2: Camp Faux Deployment: Special Strategy: Camp Faux Schemes: None Time: 70 Min (35 Min for each game) This round will consist of two 35 minutes games. One player will play the Hunter and the other player will play the Counselors in game one. The players will switch roles for game two. Scoring Each player can score a maximum of 5 VP from the strategy in each game. Each players VP for the round is the sum of their VP from the two games. Camp Faux Hiring All models and upgrades are considered to be Rare 1 for this encounter. There are no Leaders in this encounter, and thus no free models. During hiring any unspent SS are lost. Hunter The Hunter may be any non-master model totaling 13 points or less including upgrades. 0 point models are valued at 10 points. Counselors The Counselor crew is 35SS, and must have exactly 5 non-master models. Up to two out of faction models may be hired at no additional cost, out of faction models may be proxied. Set Up Each player flips a card (reflip ties). The player with the higher card plays the Hunter, the other player plays the counselors. Hunter places six Camper Markers on the field at least 6” from the table edge and any other Camper Marker. Counselors deploy first, completely within 6 inches of the board’s center. Hunter deploys in base contact of any board edge. Then declares a board edge they are in contact with as friendly. While not needed for this scenario, for game effects that require it, deployment is standard with the hunter’s friendly board edge being the back edge of their deployment zone. The opposite deployment zone belongs to the Counselors. Special Rules Each player has a default maximum Hand Size of four cards. Any game effect which summons models, or alters deployment are considered to be “blank” (they may not be used and have no effect on the game, as if they were not printed on the model). There is no round limit for this encounter, do not flip for ending the Encounter. Once either player reaches 5 VP the game ends immediately (no more VP may be scored, do not perform upkeep, etc.). Hunter The Hunter gains these Abilities: Bloodlust: After killing an enemy model, this model gains reactivate. Unrelenting: Whenever this model would gain a Condition from an enemy model it may choose to not gain the Condition instead. Whenever this model would take damage from an enemy model it may choose to reduce the damage to 1. If this model would be removed from play, instead it heals all wounds, and the Hunter palaces the model in base contact with any board edge. You are Puny: This model may leave enemy engagement range, charge while engaged and use projectile actions while engaged. The Hunter gains this Action: (0) “IT’S RIGHT BEHIND YOU!” (Ca: 6 / TN: 11): This action may only be taken if no enemy model can draw LoS to this model. Place this model anywhere completely within 10” that is also within 1” of blocking terrain. This model may not take charge actions for the remainder of the activation. Patient: As long as at least one opposing model has an activation remaining this model may elect not activate. If it does so they retain their activation, and the activation passed back to their opponent. Victory Points Each player may score a maximum of 5 VP from this strategy. Counselor models can use a (1) Interact Action to remove a Camper Marker in base contact with itself. If they do so, this Crew scores 1 VP, and the Hunter may place itself in base contact with the Camper Marker before it is removed. The Hunter scores 1 VP the first time each Counselor model leaves play. Attribution This scenario is based on one posted by Mox_Henchman. Round 3: Fifty Deployment: Blind Strategy: Supply Wagons Schemes: Guarded Treasure Vendetta Take Prisoner Inspection TBD GG2018 Special: Guilder Dash Blind Deployment In the Deploy Crews Step, the player deploying the first model is the Red Player, and the opponent is the Black Player. The players take a number of cards from a Fate Deck equal to the number of models in the Crew of the appropriate color. For example, the Red Player with 7 models will take 7 Rams or Masks from the deck. Shuffle the red and black cards together to form a temporary deck. Starting with the Black Player, each player places a card from the top of the temporary deck face down (without looking at it) anywhere on the table, not touching another card. Once all the cards are placed, flip them over. Each player may deploy a single model (starting with the Red Player) anywhere on top of a card of their color and then that card is removed. Once the players have deployed all of their models, the deployment is treated as Standard Deployment (see pg. 65) for the remainder of the game, choosing a Deployment Zone as normal (but not actually placing any models there). This is important because some mechanics will reference the player's Deployment Zone. From the shadows may not be used this game. Supply Wagons (Modified for Blind Deployment) After deploying models, starting with the Red player, each player places one 50mm, Ht 3, Blocking, Impassable, Hard Cover friendly Supply Wagon Marker on their side of the table, anywhere completely in their deployment zone and not in terrain. Special Non-Peon models in base contact with a Supply Wagon Marker may take a (1) Interact Action to push the Marker in any direction, ignoring intervening models. If this Marker would come into base contact with impassable terrain, it stops in base contact with the terrain, if that terrain was a Terrain Marker, remove that marker and then continue the push as normal. Supply Wagon Markers cannot end a push on a models base. The distance of the push depends on the model’s base size: • 30mm: Up to 2" • 40mm: Up to 3" • 50mm: Up to 4" Victory Points At the end of every Turn after the first, a Crew earns 1 VP if they have a friendly Supply Wagon at least partially on their opponent's side of the board. Guarded Treasure This Scheme may not start revealed. Reveal this Scheme once this Crew has earned any VP from it. At the end of every Turn after the first, this Crew earns 1 VP if it has at least two Scheme Markers within 2" of the Centerline, at least 8" apart, and each has at least 1 friendly non-Peon, non-Minion model within 3". After scoring, remove all friendly Scheme Markers within 2" of the Centerline. Vendetta This Scheme may not start revealed. Reveal this Scheme once this Crew has scored any VP from it. The scheming player notes one of their non-Leader, non-Peon models with a Soulstone cost greater than 0 and an enemy model with a Soulstone cost equal to or greater than the scheming player's chosen model. If the noted friendly model's first Attack Action in the game is against the noted enemy model, score 1 VP and reveal this Scheme. If the noted enemy model is not in play at the end of the game, and this Scheme has been revealed, score 1 additional VP. If the noted enemy model is killed by the chosen friendly model, score 3 VP. Take Prisoner This Scheme may not start revealed. When you choose this Scheme, note down an enemy model. At the end of the game, if this Crew has at least one non-Peon model engaged with the noted enemy model, this Crew earns 2 VP. If this Crew earns any VP from this Scheme and there are no other enemy models within 3” of the noted model, this Crew earns 1 additional VP. Guilder Dash Place a Cash Marker at the center of the table. A model in base contact with the marker may take a (1) Interact action to pick up and “hold” the marker. If the model holding the marker sufferers Sever damage the opponent of the model places the Cash Marker anywhere where within 2” and LoS not in base contact with a model; after resolving the current action and all triggers. If the marker cannot be placed legally it is not dropped. At the end of the game the crew holding the marker (or the last crew to hold the marker if none do so) earn one extra Guilder. Inspection This Scheme may not start revealed. Reveal this Scheme once this Crew has scored any VP from it. At the end of every Turn after the first, this Crew scores 1 VP if it has at least one non-Peon model within 4” of where each end of the Centerline of the board meets the board edge (or corner). Covert Breakthrough This Scheme may not start revealed. At the end of the game, this Crew earns 1 VP for each of its Scheme Markers within 6” of the enemy Deployment Zone.

I got a tablewar case. The mid size one (which is the one I recomend) will run you about $150, but well worth it if you can afford it. You can transport a lot of models of any shape or size. And easily reconfigure it for other games just by moving the shelf.

Malifaux comes to my wife's x-mas village. According to her "I am not funny".

Android. I checked when I saw this thread and there was no update available. Once Aaron said it had been released the update button was active for me in the play store.

I would love to be able to browse through upgrades on the model list screen.

I can confirm it is available in the US at least. Just updated.

I can add upgrade to models when creating a crew. How do you look at upgrades if your just browsing?
