I'm highly impressed. I just wish I had the words....

Yep, done the 3 player match. Even did a 4 player match. Loads of fun, but the one downside is the other 2 players in the first group were Guild and I was Neverborn. I lasted 4 turns, but I didn't go down easy. As for the 4 player game, let's just say the Guilds were wiped rather quickly when the Neverborn and the Resurectionists teamed up to "clean up."

Alright folks. It's official. On 11/23-25, 2009 is Charcon. It's a minor con in Charleston, WV where I will be holding a few demo's of Malfuax. Anyone who may be in the area at the time (or wants to come to the town) feel free. There's at least 5 players locally who will be there and the more the merrier. Also, for the bosses, who would I see about getting some promtional items? I'm talking things like catalogs and buisness cards. I've already gotten 1 store hooking us up, but the more I can get, the more players I'll have to beat down. LOL Anyone who wants/needs info about Charcon, please feel free to ask. :party:

Hey, watch throwing that change around! I'm sure that both Sprue and I have given strong arguments for both sides of this case. I'm sure there's an answer coming down the line. And I know for a fact that by turn 3, I'd stop this sillyness in no time with a couple of little tricks from Pandora (yes, I'm a NB player, who wouldda thougtht?). Go ahead and throw down this combo with me if you like, caue when it's all said and done you're gonna end up with some dead bugs, some victory points on my side and and a smirk on my face. I'll wait for one of the bosses to give us an answer. Until then, I've got a list made just for this situation and the models on the way. Now here's a question for the rezzers. does the bug leave a corpse when it's sacked? Cause if it does, this could get nasty REAL quick.

<chuckles> Folks, I have to say thank you. It's been too long since I've last had a good discussion, and it's appreaceated. As I said before, it's something I can see happening, but to me, it seems "sketchy". It's not something I'd try to pull myself and this entire converstaion is basically moot at this point. At this time, there is nothing that says this isn't legal, however with all games of this nature, there's going to be changes down the road. Will this be one of them? Who knows. If/until this is overturned, I plan to have a few schemes set aside for when I play against this faction.

Sprue, Let me start this off by saying I'm not still not convinced, and I'm giving you a chance to convince me. I went back and re-read the Whisperer and I admit I was wrong. So what else is new? Now, onto the meat of the matter. The problem is I can see the argument from both sides on the use of (all). Reading the first bullet on that page, it does state the use of (0), (1) and (2) actions. If they ment that all was equal to (2), then they would have used that. Which would mean you could get away with what your suggesting. However, my thoughts on the idea of (all) is that it's something that requres every speck of your concentration. Only the most powerfull of terms has this identifier attached to it, In my minds eye, if a creature had just been summoned, it would take at least a fraction of a second before it was orientated enough to react to it's new surroundings. Think of it like this. A friend of yours blindfolded you, put you in their car and drove you around for a bit, didn't tell you where you were or where your going. Wouldn't your first action be to get your orientation? And Sprue, thanks for answering. I always enjoy a good discussion on what if's. LOL

Make that 22". See my statement above, although most of it is now useless. LOL

One small flaw with this idea. Each time you cast the spell, it cost 1 AP. Since you only get 2 per nurse, unless you dump the dog on your nurses lap, then you've only got 1 spell you can cast (one of the AP is spent getting to the dog, and it requires 2 SP to do the Furious Casting). Now, some good news for you. If I've read the book right, you may be able to get Bette off at 38". How, you ask? Simple. It states under summoning that when the mini is summoned, it appears anywhere within 6" of the summoner. Since I'm assuming (yeah, I know) that the death is the summoner, then you can place her up to 6" in any direction as long as it is within those 6". Now what really bothers me is this. a 3' by 3' table, the farthest a mini can be from another is 36" Last I checked, 38" > 36"

Ok, I have some serious problems with this scheme. From what I've read and re-read, I'm going to break this down for you. Anything I am not 100% sure on, I'll mark in this color to make it stand out. If I 've made a mistake, feel free to correct me. I'll agree with you on the survival of the fittest (when a GREMLIN model lis killed...) and while it applies to Sommer, the same rule does not apply to the Whisperer (since this isn't an ability of the Whisperer). When the totem is summoned, it loses 3 health and it must be within 6" of Sommer Plus it's slowed. So it's already down 1 action point. Since Larva is an (all) abiltiy, you are not able to use Swarm the same turn you are summoned. My reasoning is this. On page 44, right collum fourth bullet, it states basically that you can preform an (all) action, however you're not allowed to preform a (0) action. IF this is the case, then you cannot cast since you've already spent an action activating. Now, here's another point to remember. Even if you were to do this, at the start of the draw phase, you're required to discard down to your maximum hand size and SHUFFLE. Basically, that guarnteed Joker you were looking for at the top of your deck? No longer there. And since Somer is required to have one less control card that means you are already losing that edge you had before. Like I said, if you see a flaw in what I said, feel free to let me know.

I know it's been a little while since I've updated, but I've been thinking on how I want the bases to look. Here's what I've come up with. For the swampfolks, I plan on taking the edge of land and the water meeting. I know, that's not very origonal. But here's a small layout of what I have planned. I plan to build a brick road and a glade/forrest on a lakefront along the same lines. I have templates done, but considering it's 4 am here, the pictures will have to wait til later.

And do you know what the best part of signing with the Neverborn is? We have candy.

Now here's a question for you. How many of you remeber Teddy Ruspkin, the interactive teddy. He would tell stories, play with the kid, whatever. How many of you had one in your house/appartment building, ect at one point or another? Now just think of him as a dark and twisted version.

Just remember that when your kid comes into your room late at night bringing Teddy with them....

Neverborn will always win. Why? Simplely because of all the factions, their the only ones who have trained with weapons since they were Toddlers! Plus who wouldn't want to pull out the unholy teddy on your nearest and dearest friends? I can hear those comments now. "You remember when you broke that mini on me? Well, Teddy does! RAWR!"

I've got to say I'm very impressed on what you pulled off in such a short time. I want to say thanks for some new ideas, and I hope mine comes out half as good as your has.
