I have also put all 3 on the one base, they seem moulded to fit well together to be honest

hey guys, wondering how you guys play the Desolation Engine with Leveticus?

Do you buy him in your starting crew or just a couple of abominations, some canine remains and upgrades for levi/alyce and try summon him?

also, anyone got any ideas when Desolation Engine will be out as hes kind of important to the crew?

I wouldn't call it "taking away a downside", more like "mitigating the cost of a very strong ability", which I think is a valid criticism.

exactly this, a 3pt (if not summoned multiple times by Somer) model that can deal 6 damage at 12" is quite powerful but has the balancing factor of hurting itself. slop haulers remove this balance and also remove the balance of Somer summoning them hurt.

the hanged is annoying mostly when summoned but my most hated are slop haulers, free heals basically takes away all the downsides of playing gremlins.

true, but the SS can be spent elsewhere if not buying any extras as well depending on what you have already. 

used misaki with her base 2 and ran out fairly early, the extra defense really helped her out although she never got to kill anyone outright (but did get perdita & francisco with multiple thunders).

still not sure, she did die eventually so the damage resist would have been nice but the + on defense could be said to have saved her as much if not more.

in and paid

yep had my wendigo devour a young nephilim and if it had been closer it probably would have had a mature one too

think its harder when knowing what your opponent does, I lost a game the other day when my Marcus got killed by madame sybelle as I didnt have 2 cards to discard because I had just used one to lower her to a negative damage flip and didnt realise her trigger.

fair enough, gone with 3 on the base, might change before painting but will see, maybe 2 to a base then 2 packs would give me 3 bases

I am putting together a hoarcat pride, now it comes with 3 bases and 3 cards but should they all be on the same base? it feels like they should as its 40mm bases and they do fit and its supposed to be a swarm but with 3 cards and bases its confused me a little

Is there any sort of release schedule for the wave 2 minis? as there's loads I want but have no clue when they are coming out.

Especially Kaeris group in plastic?

lol people are not so much complaining about the IP thing as GW have the right to do this. the main complaint lately is that GW are threatening to ruin their own game if other people dont stop making models that could be stand ins for star players. which is bizarre as its not like they are stealing business due to GW not actually making these players themselves.

its a stupid way to do business. do as I say or i'm taking my ball away and also going to pop it too, lmao what a strange threat.

hi there, i go to a couple of clubs in swindon, do you go to any?

clubs i go to:

drop me a line and can organise some games

plastics use oil in some way last i checked so can be effected in pricing as well.

Well, if they're anything like the Retribution Kits, I'd wager they're going to be around the 30 dollar mark.

but for some reason in the UK cost more than metal jacks. for example I can buy the cygnar starter battlegroup for only slightly more than a plastic retribution jack and that battlegroup has an ironclad in it plus 2 light jacks which are both very useful.

I have looked into these elves as a cheaper version of doing a high elf army.

problem with the archers is they have shields. no GW elf archers (high or wood) have shields and as WHFB players are probably the majority market for massed elves you would have thought they might think of this.

i am down in oxfordshire, trying to get people from swindon interested

all paints i use are GW. i start with a space wolf grey base coat, washed with really watered down hawk turquoise (thanks to above mentioned painting guide), drybrushed with spacewolf grey and then further drybrushed with elf grey and I am quite happy with the result.

thats on the ice golem, tina is a bit flat so needs more work and the picture doesnt do the golem justice IMO.

i play:

minis:

warhammer 40k/fantasy

hordes/warmachine

babylon 5 a call to arms

malifaux

bloodbowl

spacehulk

classic battletech

boardgames:

battlestar galactica

have other games but these are the ones I play recently

well played my 1st game today and introduced someone else to Malifaux.

was basic battle box of these 2 masters with me taking rasputina (even though my fav faction is neverborn let my opponent choose). no schemes or anything like that, just a basic beat down to learn the basics.

game starts fairly slowly as I am explaining how to do actions etc and the 2 forces advance on each other. lilith starts using abilities by having the mature neph join her who also lifted a terror tot to fly.

2nd turn things start to get interesting, Lilith uses transposition to get the mature neph right into the middle of my force, which kills a gamin and leaves a gamin in the middle of liliths force. my golem decides to engage the neph and severly damages it bringing it down to 2 damage (after gamin breaking up too) whilst tina runs around blasting a terror tot with biting chill. another terror tot is in a fight with the transported gamin and neither getting very far.

3rd turn tina blasts apart the 2terror tots chasing her with some decembers curse. lilith charges into the golem heavily damaging it and activates brood mother to get the mature neph to finish the golem, this however shatters and takes out the mature neph and puts some hurt on lilith. the terror tot and gamin fighting each other die when the tot reduces the gamin to 1 wound and the gamin kills the tot getting hit by black blood. final gamin fluffs all attacks against lilith.

final turn lilith engages tina, minor hit to start which tina manages to stop some of reducing her to 8 damage, then lilith hits out again, this time flipping a 13:malimasks then really laying the smack down cheating fate to play a red joker from her hand causing a massive 10 damage from one hit and with me only having a 10 in my hand had to hope for a high flip to stop this one. wasnt to be and tina was sliced and diced by the combat master lilith. last gamin cant do much so we end the game there.

was a fun 1st game with black blood and shattering taking out most of the little guys and even the big neph. lilith is one hell of a combat monster though and really need to stay away form her in future hard to do when shes fast as she is but lesson learned for next time.

thanks, and thanks for tips, not sure what to do on tina really, probably a wash of some sort on her coat for definate but the golem looks alot better in the flesh.

yeah tina needs that for sure, but the golem and gamins have it (watered down hawk turquoise is how i used it) but cant really tell from those pics.

I have some flock here that i may get round to using but me even painting something these days is rare, but i like malifaux minis so getting them started and pretty much finished today is a 1st in a long time for me.

just finished painting these guys. have to say i like the use of hawk turquoise on ice things, never would have thought of using it without that article although I still did my own scheme.

now just have to get started on liliths, pandoras and marcus' crew

thats why i am here now
