I played a little when the game first came out, and then a little right after Hamelin became a master or henchman. I loved the minion version of him with nix on the base. I'm guessing thats been phased out. Have any other model or characters been phased out. The minion of Hamelin is on a 40mm base or something. What size would he need to be used as the master?

What does it do exactly?

I think its cool that someone plays a different style. Both Candy and Kade are pretty hearty with Harmless and Martyr. So, being alone or alone together for stretches isn't horribly bad, also I think its good to have someone with the Dreamer when he is all alone and their use Lure, Incite and Pacify really allows you to pick their battles to a great degree. Also with Teddy, Kade can save one that is being pummeled. He has Unseen Assailant and Kids Got a Knife so he can require two morale duels before being attacked, and/or he can also Incite a crappy model or one that is out of attack range... either or both of which can help keep him healthy until you bring up a healthy Teddy or have Candy sweeten up the old one. IMO its a cool concept that has a good bit trixyness to it that gives the Dreamer more depth and less predictability.

The Dreamer makes Teddy a nightmare but also removes rare, so Kade can shuffle them all around. You can link a Sorrow to the Teddy or Kade not sure which so when Kade and Teddy switch there is a Sorrow there for Kade's Martyr. This and Harmless should help keep him alive. Also the twins and Insidious Madness have synergy with Kade and Candy because they are Woes and they have synergy with the Dreamer because they are Nightmares.

Thanks.

I was using the Ratty builder for a brawl where I chose Zoraida and Collodi. While I was checking over my crew I noticed it had allowed 5 Marionettes. So I tried to see if it would allow more. It allowed 8, I'm assuming 4 for Zoraida and 4 for Collodi. Is there a rule that allows multiple Masters/Henchmen to each take the max number of a Rare model? Or is it a glitch in the builder?

I was wondering was there a wishlist thread? Where players share what they think would be good additions to factions or crews. Outcasts(general) Plague doctors - could have some anti-blight counter stuff. Exterminators- could keep things from re-spawning Neverborn (Dreamer) A Sandman character. Neverborn (General) A Mothman character Neverborn (Zoraida) Voodoo priest(Henchman) Chicken minion for above. Voodoo practitioner minion Voodoo zombie (living) Guild (Ortegas) Not-Zorro Ortega Not-Rawhide Ortega Arcanists (Ramos) Springheeled Jack (construct)

I read that thread and two others on similar subjects. One reason I still asked is because although we are dealing with a fantasy game where nothing that happens is remotely possible. It goes against the fluff or game logic that one body would generate two things. Its not a magical occurrence per se like a magician summoning a spirit or demon or something, its rats multiplying because there are bodies feed off of and bodies turning into zombies. You can't be consumed by rats and turned into zombie. One bad thing about this section of the forum is you don't really know who's answer is correct a lot of the time. Other forums you know who is an official voice because it'll say something like "Add game's name Team Member" or "Add game's name mod" below the posters name. Granted, Henchman often give answers but that doesn't make it an official ruling in my mind. Maybe a sticky that lists whose answers are official could keep multiple threads on similar subjects down. Thanks for the answer. edit: Actually, I see the little Marshal Stars now:)

So, if a zombie kills a rat with a teeth strike what happens: 1. Empty vessel makes a Zombie 2. Voracious Rats makes a rat 3. Both 1 & 2 4. You get a Malifaux Mindless Zombie Rat in a future release:)

Actually I don't think the rats or undead Guild Guards do.

Confrontation did something like you are talking about with Ragnarok(bigger) and Dogs of War (?)(smaller). Variety is generally good and having two or three separate ways to utilize figures makes them that much more attractive to avid gamers.

I tried to find some info in Wp, I know its willpower but how important is it and how is it used?

I was thinking the cumulative part means you get a cumulative -1 whether its 1 or three models when cast. I'm wondering is the penalty static or does it stack. Masters Only. Sacrifices up to 3 friendly models within 6” (ignoring LoS) add + 1 SoulStone to the pool for each model sacrificed. Every non-Master model in the crew receives a cumulative - 1 Wp for the remainder of the game. Insignificant models cannot be sacrificed.

I understand you can Sacrifice up to three models and you receive a -1 for the action. So, is the -1 penalty a one time thing no matter how many times the action is taken or is it -1 each time the action is taken. So, if its used in three turns is it -3 or -1?

Well, I'm not really sure. I generally choose based on models and how I think I'd play them. I like the looks of Jack Daw, minion Hamelin, Hanged, Crooked and mindless Zombies, but none of the Masters for them do much for me... but I would consider Nicodem. Beyond them I like the Oliver Twistness of Hamelin, and the Mr. Sandman theme of the Dreamer, but I'm told they make people cry, not into playing stuff that takes the fun out of the game for somebody else. But, with that said I hear an almost equal amount of complaining about Pandora and Collette and Gremlins being a little bent. And I'm pretty sure I have a bent idea myself for a Neverborn list. So, if the entire game lends to bendy tactics, they really aren't bendy. A voo-doo crew might be cool with some gremlins to give it that real Bayou flavor, or with dolls. My favorite Master/Henchman will definitely be Molly. I'm a huge fan of Molly Malone lore, love the song, the Irish-ness and Molly Malone's is the name of my favorite local Irish Pub. That three model choice list kind of limits her, and Belles are not my favorite models, but I still might play her when she comes out using models from the Showgirls box.
