I would like a Journalist or Frontier crew as they are the only Masters I don't have two versions of. But mostly I want an alternative Pathfinder as you have to have two identical models if you stick to official models.

My guess is that Dr. Meredith Stanley is the master of the Asylum keyword. I guess Spelleater will be asylum aswell. Dr. Grimwell did similar notes that came with the spelleater teaser. If I'm right Stanley will get her nurses as they are already in the game.

If the Asylum and Half-blood theories are right the keywords could be, Frontier Wastrel Apex Umbra Syndicate Seeker Halfblood (not confirmed) Asylum (not confirmed) The first 6 is more or less confirmed, but there could be masters with two keywords like Lucius (Elite/mimic) and Sonnia (Witchhunter/witchling).

Asylum master?

The master for an asylum keyword?

I have not played many games in GG1 but I got one game this weekend. S&S: Recover evidence. Assassinate Catch and Release Let them bleed Vendetta Leave your mark. My crew was: Hoffman 2xWatchers Ryle Joss Guardian Warden Medical Automation Moble toolkit. One of my main objectives was to build a team around Ryle, Joss, Medical Automation and Mobile toolkit, as I have never tried them before. My opponent was Kirai. I picked Vendetta and let them bleed, as killing things would be the key objective anyway. I lost 2-5. I was in control and leading 2-0 by turn 3. Turn 4 was 2-2 and by turn 5 it was 2-5. He got his fifth piont because he killed Hoffman. I could have prevented it, but I didn't care. What worked: -Watchers with fast is incredible for picking up intel-tokens. When they are not busy picking up stuff they can give models power tokens and move tings around. Maybe I only need one. -Joss is a good beater. Even if he was lured out of safety and killed -Ryle is very good. I got 6 shots out of him on several turns. To bad he is Dead mans hand -Against Kirai the toolkit and Medical Automaton was important to keep my team from falling apart. Maybe the toolkit would be enough. What did not work: The strategy selection. I had the requirements for Assassinate during the game, and getting one point from leave your mark was easy at some points. Vendetta could have worked, but I didn't plan my killings well enough and ended up killing my target because of an moderate damage instead of weak. (The model had one health left and then I could not do vendetta.) My vendetta guy died later. I could have protected him more. So vendetta was within reach, but I didn't play well enough. Let them bleed was very hard to score as he kept his most expencive model out of reach for 4 turns. To get to her I would have to weaken my position. As a summoner the number of models in the last turn totaly broke my crew the last turn. I should have focused more on killing Kirai, and as this should be the highest priority, I should have chosen Assassinate. I should also have been more active taking out healers.

We have a small community, and we are very happy if we can expand it. The best way to communicate is to join the "TTT Malifaux" group on facebook. Or if this group is difficult to find try "Malifaux Norway" and we take it from there.

I think the new pictures clue can trick us as all new pictures may not have been published yet. But if we follow this lead to build our speculations we have. The Watcher have two new pictures (one is the old) The Hunters have two new pictures (one is old) The riotbreaker could have new pictures but it is hard to tell. All could be the old sculpt with different poses or one new and two old with differen poses. One is the old. As there is no minion with 3 new pictures we could have a box that don't follow the same structure as most of the other starters. Also the Hoffman Keyword is very large compared to other keywords so they may have a different solution for this keyword. Guardian have the old sculpt and something that looks like the old sculpt with a different pose. I don't think they will add many miniatures with the same sculpt in one box. One solution could be: Start box: Hoffman, Attendant, Melissa, Hunter, Watcher, riotbreaker (all new sculpts). box 2: Guardian (old sculpt), Hunter (second new sculpt), Watcher (second new sculpt), riotbreaker (old sculpt). This solution gives you all the miniatures you "needs" if you buy 1. starer and two box 2, and it explain why there is only two new pictures on some of the miniatures as they can justify have the same sculpt if you buy the same box twice as they do with the pathfinder. I think the Steamfitter and Howard will come in a M&SU/Augment box The peacekeeper have an old picture and I think he will be in a singel miniature box as he is versatile.

A typical keyword have 9-10 models. Wastrel only got six. I guess the rest of the Wastrels will be Explorers and I guess the Rolllins Wheels will be among them.

There was a rumor that the wheels will get their own rules in 3rd edition so they will no longer be alternative mounted guild guard. When the model that the wheels are an alternative version of is released, I guess the Rollins rules will be released as an alternative McCabe crew. I also guess the wheels are going to be explorers faction as they don't appear in the printed 10T book. They could have released the cards for everything but the wheels. So it could mean that the Rollins team will be alternative version of an unreleased Explorer master or that the Rollins crew will be moving from an alternative crew to an non-alternative Explorer crew. (The last is not likely, but it is a possibility)

If Agent 46 is mimicing the pine box ability of the brutal effigy he would get the pinebox ability at stat 6. Right? But if Agent 46 is buring a model that has already activated, and the ability is lost at the end of turn. How does it unbury? Next to the effigy? Next to the agent when the ability is lost? or is the model unable to unbury?

I have Santana Ortega and Miss Anne Thrope waiting to be played, so Perdita and Lady J is high on the priority list. Basse would be fun, but I´ll wait until he is released.

I would really want to see the keyword system in use. I want to see an example on who the "core" pool of models a Master can hire. Preferable a Master that could hire cross faction. (And preferable with the guild involved )

It was hard to read the "Call in reinforcement" ability because the target of the ability is stated in the end of the text. You must read the whole text before you learn that scheme markers is the target. The special chase "friendly scheme markers" is even mentioned before you learn what the target is.

I am not a fan of fancy bases, so I have given his base a sand look like every single guild model I have. They fit very well with my first Malifaux board that was a desert western town. I guess this was not much help, but I gave him a red ring to tie him to the guild. The logic behind this was that he is seen as a guild member. The neverborn connection is hidden. It also made sense as Guild is my main faction. If I did fancy bases I think I would give it a "guild" flavour with some neverborn hints. A ballroom/garden with a small tentacle hidden maybe?
