    Raid!

    If I have a real interest in scoring VPs, I of course default to Hold Out. Raid! is fun, but IIRC there are other easy marks for schemes. I loaned my book out, so I can't review. If my goal is to Win (capitalized) I probably wouldn't bother with Raid! If the goal is to play a game, I might.
  4. This is where I'm at. I have a Justice box (love it for 20-30 SS) and executioner. I'll be picking up an Ortega box and I just bought a Peacekeeper. That's where I'm at for my Guild wants. I do think the Justice box has a nice melee/ranged balance though and i have had good success using them as a ranged force with Justice for melee clean-up.
  5. First of all, what the hell kinda BS is this!? Come on, man! You had fun and you know it! Just enjoy yerself, dammit! Jeeze... This is probably accurate. Hard for me to guage, being still fairly new. No doubt I had those same thoughts. But overcoming her WP checks is rough. Those checks + auto damage + a couple bad hands did in my plans. In retrospect, I should have stoned for int. in a couple of those turns to get early shots off while I had enough good cards to pass a check. It was a game where I had to figure out the trick you were showing me, so I think I made some non-optimal moves. Plus having a couple cases where you got a good flip or high cheat and added an 11+ with a stone pretty much made me auto-lose a couple key duels. I think she is managable, but if you don't know her trick, it will hose you. I think shooting out the sorrows was a good choice. I just had a couple bad shots and no hand to help (like the Judge moving in to BB her and having to toss out his casting guarantee to pass WP and winding up failing the spell). I can think of a couple places like that in our game where I just needed non-crap cards. Plus my normal deployment trick wound up hurting me in this case. next time, I think I'll have yer number though.
  6. Rise from your grave! Hey Dave, thanks for the game yesterday! It was good to see Pandora in action, cause it wasn't anything like I thought! Very interesting and powerful. Not unstoppable though. sadly, it just wasn't in the cards for me yesterday (literally!) She is quite unlike alot of what I've faced, and her mobility and defence are quite amazing. The direct damage is something else too. I'll have to chat with Martyr about her, cause I know he likes her epic form but not the regular model. He might REALLY dig that playstyle though! Now that I have seen it, I think it's right up his alley. I'll have to keep in mind to play Justice different than I normally do. Her gun and the Judge's gun were too far away, and I needed more shots early than I normally do to clear off the sorrows and deal with the little bastards. I think if I'd had a couple better cards and a different deploy, it would have gone alot better for me. Definitely more powerful and trickier than I thought. But no matter how tricky you are, it's nothing a couple of well-aimed peacekeeper shots can't handle.
  7. No, which might explain things. I don't know how to play vs non-power gamers!
  8. Yea, I didn't make it as I went to lansing to play in a tourney (birthday gift to self). I lost EVERY game there, so I might as well have just gone to this instead!
  9. I'm rather the reverse. I love playing (even with some streaks of terrible luck I get). I like modelling OK. Not much a fan of painting though, but I make myself do it, cause I like the results. My painting is at a plateau, more or less. Some minis come out pretty nice, some just don't, the vast majority are decent at arms length. It's been that way for years. I think I could improve if I could make myself give enough of a damn to try past a certain point, but I can't. I get to a point of painting where the model looks decent enough and I say "OK, I'm sick of this one, it's good enough." But playing? I love a good game. Having a bad game (a one-sided slaughter, either way) is not very satisfying, but then I just want to try again to make it a good one next time.
  10. I wanted a cool internet name back when GW had a forum. It's my handle pretty much on any forum (mostly works). I also like it's meaning.
  11. I think this is the best Pandora I've seen so far.
  12. Yes. I loathe extensive errata that makes your book all but worthless. Please reprint!
  13. Release the Kraken! uh...wait. Sorry, wrong forum....
  14. I had a list somewhere. Lemme get back to you on that. I do know I have a few dires and Primal warlocks + stuff...and things...
  15. I think once I can get my hands on the Ortegas I'll be interested in playing again. Justice got a little routine after the event I played in, though I still enjoy the game well enough. I play alot of WM, though I cut back alot there. I'm back to just my Menoth now (anyone want to buy some trolls?). We are also finishing a 6 month WFB league in my game club, and I dropped my undead/VC(which I played for about 14 years and 4 or so editions) for Slaaneshi Daemons (always wanted to play them). So I've just recently finished assembling and painting about 2500+pts of Daemons, and the league has taken a good deal of my play time these past months. I'm with Dark Legacy in that Malifaux is a fun side game for me.
  16. Great post! Very convincing. It has only reinforced my decision to swap Sonnia for the Ortegas
  17. It's on my list of want. I use the executiner cause I don't have a peacekeeper yet.
