  1. Here's another top hat chiming in. ;)

    I searched for top loading cards for quite a while. I wasn't happy with the price of the thicker mylar ones and the only thinner Upper Deck style sleeves I ever saw were limited edition black backed ones UD did for some Magic expansion back when book 2 released. :| Mayday Games recently released some, and although they work fine they're thinner than I prefer.

    So, as a couple other posters have said, I laminated. But I didn't go to an office supply store to do it - I ponied up about $60 and bought a laminator and 100 pouches via Amazon. Best gaming investment I've ever made. Laminated my 200+ stat cards for Malifaux at 5 to a pouch and and have pleeenty of lamination pouches left over for future releases, other games using stat cards, laminating my strat/scheme cards, quick reference sheets, and so on. Heartily recommend.

  2. Rather than go into a long discussion about what's what and if Schemes generate 'effects' for the models they are applied to, such as saying why a model could/couldn't Dispel Magic "target of Assassinate" I'll keep it simple...

    No.

  3. I have searched for this before puting up a new thread. The best call was this thread where you also happen to mention that "this hase been ruled before" but sadly also without a link. The last post there contains a quote from Ratty's more than one year old post. The problem is that it covers a different scenario with blasts and stuff (and Ratty was not an RM at that time anyway).

    So indeed I would need your charitability and search-fu to show me the thread where the mentioned official ruling lies. Thx!

    Don't worry about your search-fu, I'll respond. ;)

    Models caught in a Pulse or Blast are affected by it simultaneously. Kirai couldn't use her Spirit Sheath to dump the damage.

  4. It's the risk you take shooting into a melee.

    The models aren't just 'standing' around while the attacker takes stock of who can be shot at cleanly. They're scrambling about, taking swings at one another, while trying not to get dead. A melee's a big mess of 'what's going on?!'. The randomness of the card flip to determine final target reflects this.

    Best way to hedge your bets is to be outnumbered by the enemy in melee, or engaged with enemy models on 40mm and 50mm bases. These options put more card flips on the enemy models one of yours, increasing the odds an enemy model winds up as the target.
