I'm liking Ryle and a handler with Sonnia. Ryle can be pretty tanky and with the handler and some rams he can set alot of models on fire

another thing noone seems to mention when it comes to the riders, is that their pseudo-armor only works when using Df. So hit them with anything that targets Wp and they're only protected by their Stubborn-ability, which can be more or less cancelled by a Focus-action (consider that most abilities that targets Wp doesn't care about cover, so it evens out in that regard)

I'm not saying they're easy to take down, but they're all quite expensive so they shouldn't be. They are by no means as hard as some people make them out to be.

What does Guild have that targets WP that can reliable hit the mechanical rider with?

At 14" away from any model it can still easily summon a model, generate 1-2 scheme markers or let your opponent draw 1-2 cards while damaging a model. While in theory a death marshall can pinebox the rider, the arcanist player really doesn't need to bring their rider in close enough to give you the chance.

"I'm telling you McMourning you are on the fast track! To think the Governor General's Secretary promoted you, a humble doctor to field duty and helping us investigate the ressurectionist! I know from the moment I saw you that you had great imitative..."   As Captain Feckler kept droning on about the "honour" Lucius  had bestowed upon him, McMourning could just gnash his teeth in frustration. It was supposed to be a simple stroll to gather a few supplies he had buried out here, but Lucius had insisted he bring the captain for his protection and keeping his disguise as the new consultant to the Guild on the undead. It wasn't until about the third time that Sebastian poked him that he realized that someone was talking to him, well someone other than Feckler.

"Sir, there appears to be mercenaries ahead of us, we think they are heading towards us" the Austringer reported.

"How do I keep getting myself into these messes" McMorning thought.

Strategy: Turf War

My list

Guild McMorning [4]

-On the Click

-Plastic Surgery

-Evidence Tampering

Sebastian [9]

-Lead Lined Coat

Captain Feckler (Exorcist) [9]

-Lead Lined Coat

Zombie Chinchilla [2]

2x Nurses [10]

2x Witchlings [10]

1x Austringer [6]

Schemes: Out Flank (declared), Distract

Opponent:

Well David got initiative and the first thing he did was take out McMorning . I moved the zombie chinchilla though within 2" of the Viktoria of Blood, the student of conflict and Vanessa and poisoned them all. Vanessa healed the entire crew by 4 with a healing flip, but because of Sebastian's abilities I did 3 damage to the student of conflict (who tried to kill the poor Chichilla and surprisingly failed). The Viktoria of Ash then charged Sebastian and nearly killed him. My nurse healed him to full, but alas I didn't manage to dispel the paralyze with the wicthling .

During the upkeep phase the poison finished off the student of conflict. My opponent not wanting to take more poison by Sebastian started with Viktoria of Ash Dragon Bited Sebastian killing him and then he accomplished the other Viktoria who charged my nurse killed her . I activated my other nurse who kept the Ronin paralyzed. The other Ronin failed to harm my exorcist and Vanessa dropped a scheme marker. My wicthling removed one of theirs. My opponent reveals bodyguard on Hans

Question with the warden. My understanding the only way he can paralyze things is attacking a model that has already activated, though aside from reactive is there a reason to try to paralyze a model that has already activated? 

Reincarnation happens though when a model is reduced to 0. So even if burning happens after damaging a model to 0 wounds, that would still be the wrong time to apply violation of magic imo.

So the witchling handler has an aura that lets you apply burning for an attack that deals damage. Ryle's gun has a trigger that lets him take the action again against a different target. Would those additional attacks provide burning, or would they just be considered part of the initial attack so only the initial target gets burning?

I was looking at purchasing the set for my guild crew. 

Would you be okay with the piece being shipping from Canada or looking to buy locally? 

Hello.

I've noticed a few models (like Sam from The Guild) have some build in icons for abilities that don't use those suits. For instance Sam has a built in Ram for his flaming bullets attack, but nothing on his ability uses that ram (or in general for casting with a ram). So any purpose to that ram?

Personally thinking of trying (35pts):

Sonnia + 4 SS

-Reincarnation

-Counterspell aura

Sam

-Lead coat 

Purifying Flame

Witchling handler 

2x guard 

I like the guild guards as objective grabbers and find them more survivable than witchlings. Hoping I can use the Witchling Handler with Sam/Guardsmen to spread enough burning to get a few witchling as the match goes on (worse case scenario can always "recruit" the guardsmen into witchlings if they take too much damage).

Though I wish the guards had higher sh

What cards are you looking to see if they are in the box?

Mainly was looking at using McMourning for Guild and hoping I didn't have to buy the box than the resurrectionist deck for his upgrades. 

Hello.

I was wondering if the boxsets come with cards? If so do the dual factions ones come with the cards needed to use them in either faction (mainly the upgrades) or do you need to buy the deck for the handful of cards?

Hello.

So reading the forums a lot of people seem to swear by Guild Austringers, theoryfaulixing though I don't really see the appeal. Most people seem to use them for either long range harass, or their deliver orders.

So damage wise their attack while likely to hit, doesn't have any more damage than other guild shooting.

Deliver orders seems amazing, but you're effectively just giving up the austringers action for another model to take that extra interact action. For the price of the austringer wouldn't you just be better off hiring 1 extra model instead?

Or is this one of those models you just need to play a few times to really see how good it is? 

Sorry noob question but don't have book on hand. Lucious has an aura that gives +MI to models within X. If a model starts in the aura and moves out I assume they don't get the benefit? Likewise if a model starts outside the aura but moves within X they get the benefit?

But the only bit of fluff that they gave for him to be able to continue to be a ressur under the guild's watch was Lucius the Gov's Secretary sayin, basically, "Hey... we know what you're doin'. Don't stop it. Just use it to help us." Which is pretty paper thin. Lady Justice wouldn't stand for that crap, even if his paperwork were in order.

 

Where was that said?

When it comes to cost I think there 2 you really need to look at:

1) Initial cost to get started

2) Upkeep cost to keep the game fresh

So warhammer for instance I find has a pretty heavy initial and upkeep cost. Once you buy your army you can't easily make a small change to change the playstyle or update the army for a new addition. I found I more or less needed to completely redo the army.

Warmachine and Hordes I find has a pretty heavy initial cost now to get started, but I find a pretty light/medium upkeep cost. My E.Thragrosh and P.Vayl have a lot in common, but because of the different warlocks they play very differently. 

Malifaux I find has a pretty low initial cost, but it does have an upkeep cost. Might be the factions I play (Guild) or look at (Gremlins), but I find if I want to change the play style or master I'm usually looking at buy a new crew with pretty low crossover with my existing master. Though this could also be a lack of experience with 2E on my part and not using the right pieces. 

Is the fluff in the new rulebook different than the first edition fluff?

I've been looking at getting:

Sonnia

Govenor's Proxy

2 stalkers

peace keeper

Hopkins

this would give me a 8cache at 35pts. Would it be worth adding an executioner/Ryle or run with the extra SS?

A guild guard with the governors proxy should help a lot with moral duels.

I'm surprised no one has asked this yet, but did you wash you models with soap water and a toothbrush? If there is any mold release on the model it won't glue together.

I use to have a huge problem with metal models and found that washing them first and using an exacto knife to lightly scrape along the joints helped me glue them in.

Curious what people think of this list:

Lucius: 3 soulstones

Drill Sarge: 3

2x Guild Captains: 14

3x Guards: 12

Lawyer: 7

39/35

General idea is When Lucius activates his captains activate who activate 2 guards. Between the Drill Sarge and Lucius that is a lot of fire power. Lawyer helps provides some additional defense. Biggest issue I see with this force is speed (which hopefully won't be much of an issue with Lucius).

Whilst that is true - certainly in terms of WM, I didn't read the mkII Hordes - I would contend that the PP release lacks a certain amount of character on the fluff front.

I at first really agreed with that. When I got my Legion book I was extremely disappointed on the lack of new fluff. I than realized if there was serious fluff advancement in the forces books I would be very broke collecting all the books . Will wait for the new MK2 books (like wrath) to start advancing the story again.

edit: hmmm TGN probaly should have put warmachine/hordes Mk2 together instead of as separate categories.

Malifaux is a great game, but compared to how smooth warmachine/hordes MK2 rolled out Privateer really deserves to win.

The rules are solid, the book wasn't covered in typos, (the small) errata was posted quickly, Mk2 versions of released models were shown for free on their website and new models are being released really fast.

Just curious if people have tried hounds with Criid? Was looking at starting with

Sonnia: +4 soulstones

Hopkins: 8

Austringer: 5

2x witchling stalkers: 8

2x hounds: 6

total 30/30

edit: hmmm forgot to take into account the dogs ability. Think would be better to have 3 dogs or the full 8 cache?

cheers to the guide so far. I'm looking to get started in Malifaux and leaning to go with Lucius as a master.

though yeah wish he could work with a few more models. Executioner and Hounds seem like they should be part of his division.

I know my meta has a lot of Guild players (any master) and Neverborn (mainly Pandora and Dreamer). Any tricks against the Neverborn or things to look out for?
