  1. I thought the ACE of MASKS trick worked at first too. Wrong. Read the rule for ACE IN THE HOLE: When an ace from this crew's deck would be placed in the discard pile during another friendly model's activation...... The ace you play from your hand is fine and dandy BUT it is played from the HAND and NOT the DECK so does not recirculate. Pretty straight forward but tons of people play this wrong.
  2. I started Malifaux at launch at GENCON a while back. Wife and 4 boys later I have had little time to keep up on the forums or reading. Back playing weekly and the wife wants to read some story and background. I had books 1-2 but can't seem to find them. Can you peeps help a brutha out? What is the best way to get the story? (is it in one book? should I buy all 4 over again?) I bought all the Jakob Lynch stuff having played Arcanists for some time. What Chrinicles and what books would I find this story? Any links or direct info (or info on future releases) would be appreciated. BIG THANK YOU TO ANY WHO HELP. .....a man who has a wife into his hobby is lucky indeed
  3. There is a list builder somewhere? ....wow...just found it.....didn't even know there was a Malifaux page Why can't Raspy+Arcane add two cards to your MAX hand size? .....wait.....it has the same name.....can't benefit twice from same name am I right?
  4. Just getting back into Malifaux after kids and house stuff has pulled me for some times..... Need some "here's you answer dummy" responses..... Does anyone understand this? •Spells with the gun icon take the modifier for cover, ranged attacks, Casting Flips and spells, never Attack Flips Since there is a comma and not a period after "ranged attacks" it seems that they are speaking only about gun icon attacks in reference to the things that followed in the sentance. I don't get this.....help ? Also.....tell me what this means..... "This model may not be targeted by Charge or ranged attacks (Grotto-no icon) until it takes an Action other than Pass." Does this mean anything with a gun icon OR anything with a Rg/Range listed in the attack OR does it cover both? The intention of the ability (December Acolyte) is to allow advancedeploy of 12" without getting smoked on turn1/immediately. Thanks guys!
  5. Rolling 4 strong with the PART TIME GENERALS (ya, we gotz shirtz too) You'll see us at the book1 and all rules tournys. Can't wait for the new stuff to drop. See ya there RIW peeps...also at the Horsemen
  6. I agree. One of my favorite things in MAli is that the Oucasts/Mercs/Dogs of War are actually fully supporteda and are a REAL army selection
  7. See, moparjim gets it. If you go for it 3 castings worth with two high masks in hand and SS everytime you can increase your odds tremendously of getting OP. Flip first, bonus if high, extra bonus if mask. -Settle and hope for mask on SS -Cheat mask and still SS to hurt enemy def odds Crap flip up fron -Cheap mask or high and hope for mask on SS I would say I average out to 5 casts on 3 AP and nearly 6 casts if Masks in hand. Mask=1/4, high cards 10+=1/4 Its not bad odds
  8. Hmmm, happens a lot for me.....and I play at 40ss level a lot so there are more models. Maybe thats why, there are less models to have to spend good cards on in your 30-35ss games so it is tougher to pull off DC with Overpower.
  9. No, you are not, but LOS and cover are two different things. New rules tweak allows models to be behind white out/steam vent and it blocks LOS. Thats not that easy. This is why I am the aggressor with her. NO WAY. I can usually pull off 2-4 SEVEREs, then cast again, and sometimes again if I stood still or used Ice mirror. Keep 9+of masks in your hand and use a SS on each cast no matter what, this will hit your target (indirect on dita or even straight dita unless they spill a high card and ss too) and nail her too. With such a high cast you have a good shot at 11+ and no problem with Essence around. I have had Dec. Curse go off on 1 cast through ice mirror with 0 masks in my hand 4 straight times. SS =1/4 shot to get Overpower. I can't tell you how many times I ran out of death to lay down because my opponent wouldn't stand up. (its kinda sad astually, then you realize that was one AP and you have 1-2 more targets to choose. You do realize that when using templates they touch each other in any way and then one has to simply touch the base edge of the original target right?
  10. At the OP, look at my other posts on Raspy through out time. At the Viking, "Perdita is a rough match for Raspy in general" incorrect she is a tough match for everyone in general. She is argueably the best master (argueably...lilith and nicodem are up there). Other than that.....I have played Lordfishane and his crew a ton, I have had the better of him through out time. That is until this past weekedn at a Tourney and he got me and finished 2nd by 1VP. He picked up this game faster than anyone I know and is a good player. That being said there are three ways to engage Perdita and her crew......by melee monsters like Joss, Johan, Cerebus, and Marcus (yes I play 2 master games), by Decembers Curse and Ice Burst Strike, and Ice constructs or Ramos and nids/gamin bursts. Obviously melee tie ups are great versus the ranged natiness her and the gang present. Dec. Curse with a high mask and a SS on top and continually tagging.....someone around her that has lots 8+HP can wring her bell. She will soak 4/8 if you do it right. (lets not bring SS protection into this as a goal should be to suck her SS dry anyway). Then when one target is killed and therefore out of Overpower cast it again and lay the templates over her and repeat. Icy Burst isn't as nasty but late in the turn when cards are low it can do damage indirectly. (all of the above is indirect which cannot be avoided) the same idirect damage can be done with ice constructs or ramos and his deal. Ice mirror should be avoided vs Perdita. Don't forget Quick Draw (name?) is a "0". So you know when it is up, and it shoudln't kill you anyway with SS and Dec Touch available (totem casts). As was said earlier, you can try defensive Pillars and White out......depends on what your opponent is going for......in my experience versus Perdita you slap her around before she does it to you.

  13. So ya your list is fine. I have the same boxes. ABSOLUTELY get at least 3 hoarcats, they work great with both lists and are very self sufficient. OTHERS TO CONSIDER: Everyone will telly you to get the Gunslinger as he is a terrific all around model but I find myself playing with him less and less. The Ronin is FANTASTIC, he is really nasty to quick strike in a Joss/Marcus list, and his rules are amazing and throw in the fact he can kill himself to give you SS when you really need it he is a must (I have my own model). I prefer the Wendigo if you plan on Tourneys but Essence is fanstastic too. Johan and Masaki should be considered. I have lots of posts on Marcus and Raspy, search
