Thanks. I have the Discord for my local game store. I thought it was more for stuff like that than an actual forum. Doesn’t seem to be too user friendly for a forum, though I’ll admit I don’t use it much and am not well versed in its use. Ditto on the having fun. I learned in the past that Malifaux is not a game I enjoy in a tournament setting. Casual is the only way I play it.

Hello everyone. I have been away from the game for about two years. I’m currently reviewing past errata and reviewing the rulebook. I can’t remember if it was gaining grounds season zero or season one that I last played, so still trying to figure out how far back I have to go. is there anything else that I missed while I’ve been away? I’m assuming any gameplay changes have been updated in the most current rulebook that I downloaded? Looking at the Malifaux app, It seems that there are some new versions of existing masters. I noticed that the Lady Justice alternate was heavily modified in the latest errata. Are these new models or just new rules? Do the new master versions replace the old ones, or are both still in play? Also, when does the next errata and gaining grounds come out? I would hate to order the current cards and have them invalidated soon after I get them. If anyone has any advice or tips on getting me back into the game, I would be glad to hear it. Thank you.

Thanks Cats. I’ll read that thread.

What was the gimmick? How was it causing issues? Like I said, I’m out of the loop of all the happenings from the last year or so, just curious as to what was happening to cause the change. I’m sure it was something pretty over the top. I’m starting to play my Dashel crew a bit, and the change caught me off guard the other day (no pun intended), though I usually don’t use my summons for schemes. I generally try to bring in an executioner to tie up enemy models to allow my dogs to go run the schemes.

Yes, that’s how I used Wanted Criminal, with my Parker crew.

I’m just getting back into Malifaux after over a year, so I’m out of the loop. What crew was causing issues to warrant the summoning nerf? Also, I’m pretty disappointed in seeing the complete change to the Outcasts Wanted Criminal upgrade. Thats about the only upgrade I ever used, didn’t seem too over-the-top to me. What was the issue with it?

A Google search for “Plastic injection molding in USA” returns numerous results. The USA certainly has the companies that could produce these products. There is one reason, and one reason only that they outsource to China: Its cheap. That’s it, nothing more. I hope the President stays tough with China, or will continue to see our manufacturing outsourced there. They undercut us every chance they get. Maybe if there are huge tariffs levied on Wyrd products from China, they would get smart and manufacture their products in their own country. For comparison, GW and Warlord are UK companies, and they manufacture in their own country. I respect them for that. I’d gladly pay a few more dollars a box if Wyrd made their products here, and I think everyone else would too. Heck, thousands of people pay sometimes almost $50 USD for one single Warhammer character model, why wouldn’t anyone else spend a bit more for their Malifaux models?

Did not know that. I don’t have the Basse figures, but all the ones I have built have been China.

Again, another of the many reasons for American companies to start manufacturing their products at home instead of China!

So you are saying that you have to win the duel for your defensive trigger to go off?

I was the Parker crew in that game. It was my first time playing that crew. They are pretty tough, the Run and Gun is awesome. I messed up towards the end by charging Doc Mitchell into the Gremlin on the rocket. My goal was nothing more than to tie him up and hold him in place to to be able to drop the scheme markers around him for Detonate Charges, as well as keep Parker alive until I get him over to the enemy scheme markers to cash them in for Soulstones. I did not know that he had ways to move my models and himself out of melee, and that totally screwed up my strategy on that one. I didn’t get the markers, plus it killed Doc and Parker. Lessons learned, but a great game. I always enjoy the games with capopriest.

True, but I need the Emissary portion and can’t find it. Plus, the new Brutal Fate Box is actually cheaper than the old emissary box by itself.

What about the models like Brutal Fate that have yet to hit the distributors?

So if Wyrd is shipping all these faction books, why do none of the distributors or local game stores have them yet? According to my local game store, his distributor website says September release for the books (got a few days left to make that). Also, he has been waiting on the Brutal Fate Box which has been on order since like July with no product in sight.

Well, anyway, if this is truly the case and you must choose, then there should be an errata for the card or at least a clarification from Wyrd. I’m not the only one who has been debating this.
