The catcher still takes damage and you cant heal him. So why so complicated? Usually you throw rats on rats. The damage to them is not important when you form the rat king after.
-
I probably wouldn't bring in a Malifaux Child because whenever Hamelin summons a Stolen, all of his non-Stolen totems are *poof* gone.
~Lil Kalki
Stolen dont have any rule to make other totems go poof.

And Hans must start the turn buried.

Or be lured to take a jump.

There is a 40mm fitting large rat swarm from bushido the game.
-
I don't have any idea how I'm gonna make rat catchers though, not fond of the original model.
Reaper has a Rat Queen model, which could be used as replacement for a catcher. Or a wretch.
-
Maybe its the normal box artwork and not the special one. And this was supposed to come out much later.

Female student of conflict as to be seen included in the new Vicki Box Cover.

Why seperate? Old henchmen rules are history, henchman is just a title now. And defines how much upgrades you can install on him.
-
I do not use one card per model when i have 15 malifaux rats on the table. One card for reference and some dice for wounds is enough.
Else you need an extra table just to lay all your cards out and a lot of time looking to connect models with their corresponding cards...
-
The system can lead to ridiculouse overpowered models. Sometimes you dont need so much upgrades.
Izamu with Immunity to slow/paralyze and added armor for example.
The underdog bonus is pretty sweet in this gameSo sweet that you can abuse it. Play a 30ss game. Take a highly survivable master and nothing else and run away. Get 1 script for bodyguard, one for master alive and 15 scripts for underdog. Normal games give around 3 scripts. You get 17! This is just stupid.

Kaeris can only hire MSU Members and assets. If she leads a crew and hires Johan, how much ss does Johan costs? Colette gets him for 5, but Kaeris is missing the "at no additional costs" part, so is Johan hired as mercenary instead for 6?
-
If you are inside the aura, resist or get weak. Simple.
Only problem you got this way is to remember Nixs casting flip for the full turn...
-
To far gone has never made much sense. If McM chops doggies and gets 4 body parts from a 2ss model, whats the problem getting 5 out of a 3ss model?
-
Ronins have the correct weapons and look desperate enough. Or the Latigos.
-
But this side effect means, playing against a black blood heavy neverborn crew is a bit futile.
You sacrifice one model to do 1-2 dam. You need about 3 rats to kill a 3ss terror tot. And get only one back.
-
Friendly Malifaux Rat models cannot be Summoned in response to this model being killed during its own activation.
So, models with black blood and self exploding abilities are immune to rats now? This seems to create a lot of autoloose matchups now.
-
You use the (former enemies) master to sacrifice him himself?
Drain souls is leaders only, and you have only one leader in a brawl, and thats Marcus who dont have any Ap left after the action.
Sure the other Master doesnt loose his leader status somehow when turning into a crewmember of yours?
-
Seen no change to Kirai
Seen no change to Shikome
Must be a local meta joke.
-
They already have such a rule. Sometime its feels players forget this.
Of course, the multiple activations you get by catchers or from any new spawned rats seem to hide this a bit.
-
As i said, without changing other rules this would be very bad for any movement encounter with a normal (rats&catchers) crew.
You cant move the rats out of Hamelins 6" without risking the swarm to be wiped out immediately. No activating, no new catcher, rats gone.
And it defines the activation order. Activating the catcher first (for example when he needs healing) stops the swarm for the turn if you use Slaughter rats. Sure you can move 4" per turn and lure them with cheese. Enemies will be very happy about a speed of 4-5" for the swarm.
So you always have to activate rats before or the swarm moves unbelievable slow.
This doesnt work with a simple "elegant" change, you would need a full rewrite of the rat/catcher mechanics.

Lady Justice can improve her chance to hit and also improve her chance to do Severe damage, but her damage spread stays at 4/5/7. It would be nice if it was magical or was as powerful as you think it is. Lady J at 7/8/10 would be awesome........... but not fun for my opponent. Also, Death Marshals do not have any damage buffs besides their own +1 for Critical Strike on my cards. How do they give Lady J +2 damage?
Not quite on topic, but explained.
3-4-6 basic. Critical strike with ram card 5-6-8. DMs have a spell "Finish the job" giving other DMs (as Lady J. is with v2) +1 dam per ram. Casted with ram card, Lady Js. final dam 7-8-10.
You will need 2 ram cards of course. (If you buy an extra card and get a ram, she even able to get +1 dam more).
And the only buff Lilith can get is flurry from the BBS.
-
If you need a 10 vs an unsupported Seamus, failing is not always bad lucks faulth. More when -Wp effects from other models kick in.
even aSeamus has no way to force you to fail by spending stones or cheating high cardsJack Daw anyone?
-
It's the same as Lady J and she doesn't need to be magical
Lady J. gets +2 damage without help, and up to extra +2 with DM support. 7-8-10 Damage is a bit different story, Lilith has no way to get a damage boost.
And all this is opposed to masters like Marcus who has no movement/swapping tricks, lower defense, hits weaker and so on. How hard for LilithHis damage is the same as Liliths (with Bear) but without the +flip. And its magical.
And we dont talk about throwing a Wp-attacking Shikome into Liliths face after howling.
He may be a bit underwhelming, but he still has some stuff to show if you dont respect him.
Such as Ressers. You then have to kill her with minions, which is nigh on impossible.You dont have to. When i face Nicodem it always ends up with: Look what a beautiful RigorMortis statue. Or against Seamus she runs away like a small girl. The normal Lilith demon force is so weak to any Wp-based duels.
Sexy art and renders!
