I’m a longish time malifaux player in Northern VA looking to get into TTB. I’m most interested in being a fatemaster and wanted to get a sense for who was out there looking to play.

Hi everyone. My lgs has a copy of the fatemaster kit for ttb. Is the screen compatible with the 2e core rules?

Anyone have any ideas on what to use as an Adze until the model comes out? I had planned on repurposing one of the wisp models (hanging arms flying one). Any other ideas are welcome!

Really enjoying the cast! You've discussed build lists in the past and those have been excellent. Have you considered doing a "Buylist" episode for people looking to maximize their Backerkit? I'm checking out Abyssinia and can't quite afford all the things. It would be great to get your thoughts on what you see as critical pick ups to start the game.

Just coming back to this to say thanks for the help. Really looking forward to this game.

I'm looking into backing the game at the Dual Commander level, but I can't see where I enter my second allegiance choice. I get all the way to the page where you enter credit card information and it doesn't prompt me with the option to choose which other faction I want. Am I missing something obvious?

I may just jump in anyway and find players. This is probably not publicly shareable, but has there been any word on how much longer the backerkit will be up?

Yeah, that would make sense. I'm just impatient to get in on the game, and they're willing to wait for the new Allegiances.

Hey all, with the GenCon (and elsewhere) revelations of two additional upcoming allegiances, I'm having trouble convincing others to buy in now. They're feeling like they'd rather wait and see if in of the two future allegiances appeals more. Any hints on when those two might come out? It was unexpected to get spoilers this early when the backerkit is still rolling.

Can't dig graves with primordial magic, unfortunately. It can only count as a scheme marker at the end of a turn.

Thanks everyone. I was getting caught by the idea of simultaneous damage as solkan stated.

That makes sense, but I was more wondering about the technicality where a model at 0 wounds isn't removed until after the damage resolution step (relevant for post damage pushes, etc). So the stitched is a 0 wounds but still on the board until all damage is resolved. Wouldn't that technically allow Collodi to target and sac him to prevent the damage?

If I have Collodi standing next to a stitched together and both take lethal damage from the same blast, can Collodi kill the Stitched to reduce the damage he's taking from the blast to 0? I've been playing it that he cannot, but I wasn't sure on the timing.

There was no printed scoring rubric. The Henchman walked by, looked at each crew for a few seconds, wrote some stuff down, and then moved on. I think there were definitely problems with implementation, I just wasn't sure if typical Malifaux tournies gave this much weight to painting.

I agree with you. The strange thing is that there was a separate "Best Painted" award as well that went to a third player.

I recently attended a tournament in my area and overall, it was a great experience. I'm reasonably new to the game, but managed to go 3-0 and win. However, when the time came to announce the winners of the tournament, I was awarded 2nd place, rather than 1st. This was due to painting being taken into consideration during the judgment of final placement and my painting (presumably) not being up to standard. I will say that I am a novice painter, but I did present a fully based, fully painted crew for judging (per GG 2017 rules). I will also note that it was announced that painting would be considered for final placement prior to the start of the tournament and that I had fair warning. My assumption was that it was a binary pass/fail assessment to encourage people to paint up their models. However, this is not the case, as 1st place was awarded to an opponent I played in an earlier round. I'm interested in getting the thoughts and opinions of others as to whether this scoring metric is a common and/or welcome occurrence at Malifaux tournaments. I see it as being problematic, as it gives the TO great leeway in "picking a winner." I will again emphasize that my experience at the tournament was great, and I will attend other tournaments in the future, but likely not at places where this type of scoring is used. How does the larger Malifaux community feel about painting being used to determine final tournament placings?

The other cool thing about Kade in Pandora is that she and Iggy can protect him with Martyr. You can have him patrol the outside edge of the Pandora bubble picking off easy stuff, then just martyr away some of the damage.

Hi all, I've been getting into Dreamer lately and was wondering if the changes to lucid dreaming had prompted anyone else to try a different playstyle. Would it be workable to run a Dreamer build that used both Tantrum and Dreams of Pain? You don't get the waking increase from Restless Dreams, but using summoning in a more limited way and combining it with a WP based sh seems doable. Pop in three stitched, shoot once, accomplice to a stitched. Then again....9ss of upgrades. Thoughts?

If a target were hit by Somer's boomer with severe damage, which does 4/4bb/8bbb, you would place 3 blast markers each dealing 4(moderate). Would each model taking moderate damage then also have additional blast markers chaining off of them, since blasts are part of the moderate damage for this attack? Or, does the calculation of blast damage just use the number?

When Ulix Prod's a unit to do a (1) Ml attack, would that model get to take it's Eat Your Fill trigger (provided the model it attacked died)? This came up in a recent game and we weren't sure if the "and end it's activation" part of the text was a cost that had to be paid to use the ability, or an effect of using said ability. We let Gracie heal after "prod killing" a Metal Gamin, but I'm not sure we should have. Edit: Derp. I see this exact question was covered in the May FAQ. My apologies.

Thanks for the info. And you're right, I'll post the next date further in advance. Huzzah's owner indicated that some people were starting to gather on Thursdays, so I plan to head there this week and check it out. I'll post the next meet up date earlier to help with planning.

Sounds great. We're trying to get a regular group together, so any interest is welcome. Who's all going to Capital City Meltdown from the NoVA area?

That sounds awesome. It looks like you're about 1 hour or so away up 270, which might be a little rough to do during the work week. I definitely appreciate the invitation.

Hi everyone, My brother and I will be up at Huzzah Hobbies in Ashburn, VA tomorrow at 3pm playing some Malifaux if you'd like to join. We'd like to make this a regular group thing, so if you're interested in joining but can't make it this time, let me know. Also, if you've never played before and want a demo - stop on by! We're pretty new ourselves, but happy to teach anyone who wants to learn. Should be there until about 7pm.

I also tend to use Lenny more offensively in this matchup. Unrelenting Terror on the Hanged is less of a problem if you're too dumb to get paralyzed.
