This does not mean all of these models make every list I build but they are always models I consider with multiple masters

Outside of Raspy I could only see Snowstorm being used possibly with Marcus and only then if you are bringing Silent Ones. With Raspy however he almost always gets brought by me.

Middle of the Storm helps cover for some beast squishiness and he is more survivable than a lot of typical Marcus hires

I can, I am a little time poor at the moment but I will see what I can do.

Mei can switch gears a bit with support and giving a bit of a beat down. She is not a Master killer but works really well against low and mid cost models

Just a reminder we are back on again tomorrow night.

I am playing pretty well exclusively Arcanists at this point but was primarily playing Raspy and Mei Feng, now I am trying to get games in with the others as I go and I cant see me moving from them for a while

Starting this Friday night (June 3 2016) from 7pm I am starting to run demos at Gamagori and setting up a regular Malifaux game night that will be building towards Slow grow leagues, campaigns and Tournaments in addition to ongoing demos and general play.

It will be held at Gamagori - Unit 3/7 Finlay Place Wangara WA

Aionus has been a really solid addition to me for Tara. He helps so much with scheme manipulation. You will want someone else though with Tara as your heavy hitter, he just enables a lot of your crew and makes them perform more

In preparation for an upcoming tournament I decided to be a little stupid and only 5 days out decide, 'NO I wont take the crew I have sent the past few weeks painting and what I have played with recently, I'll take something different'

That led to me starting pretty well from scratch (only Raspy, Acolyte, Wendigo and Ice Gamin were even assembled) and pulling this crew out quickly.

The photo wasnt taken under the best light last night but I hope to be taking better photos over the weekend and under more natural light.

I know I have told you I am coming to this , just thought I would let you know again. All I need to decide is which faction and crew(s)

Congrats to both of you

Only a few weeks to go and I would love to hit double digits for this, its already shaping up as a good event for novices and experts alike

Lovely conversion, consider it stolen, I was wondering how to get my metal and plastic librarians looking a bit different to each other

This is actually really cool to have running in the background while painting. Great idea and a good format! Cheers! 

Yeah the first two have been great to listen to. Good quality great narrator and for me was something pleasant to listen to while in at work over the weekend

For me its pretty well alwys Vapormancy and then Imbued Protection. The sometimes extras are Imbued energies, arcane resevoir, seize the day and seismic claws but it varies whether I take the third upgrade or not, more often than not due to my mood at the time

I'm interested and willing

Vimes is my favorite character, for sure.

 

Night Watch is my favorite book.

 

Although anything with Moist Vonlipwig is a close second.

 

Small Gods and Good Omens are amazing as well.

 

Really sad to see him go. His books are like an old friend.

You sure we arent twins Justin?

No  complaints about my article yet. This is good...

Likewise.

Out of curiousity has anyone read the TTB encounter and have any thoughts I am open for feedback as all the encounters I have run for my group have been written fairly differently to this.

I'm firmly of the opinion that Imbued Energies is the strongest generic non-Master upgrade in the game, with Oathkeeper coming in a close second. It can be tough for a newer player to see how much of a difference a single extra AP can make to the outcome of a game, but it will very often mean the difference between killing a key enemy and losing a valuable friendly, or being in position to score versus not. Even if your model gets killed before you get to make use of it, it still has great value (slightly better than Oathkeeper in most circumstances, hence taking the top spot in my estimation).

Couldnt agree more (I know we have discussed it a lot)

That extra AP at the right time comes in handy as a lot of others have already gone into detail with.

1 specific circumstance that I use regularly is Howard + Imbued Energies as it gives a nimble move plus the imbued move then 2" Ml to flurry. Its an impressive deterrent and board control piece that can very easily remove almost any model from the board if you enter its zone of death.

From the skim I had this morning at work reading through it. I really liked it. It was a lot more than I thought we were getting and it made the wait worth it.

Looks quite thorough and a good resource for Fatematers even if they dont run that story as you can use certain plot points and hooks in stories of your own devising.

Slander upon my beautiful language!

 

 

Well, actually, it isn't. It means (approximately) "beef labelling regulation & delegation of supervision law", so it's bureaucracy, not language. Furthermore, said law was abolished some years ago, so the word doesn't describe something real anymore.

 

But you can build such words, which is hilarious. It isn't even the longest one I have ever seen. (That would be Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft.)

Ich Sprehe kliene bissen deutsch but I understand a bit more and find the written language pretty easy to grasp. Its the grammar that kills me.

Basing wise I am putting most of Arcanists on Railroads and wilderness/badlands bases. I am also adding elements such as crates and barrels to a few bases too.

Tying everyone together this way isnt too hard, all the M&SU type models fit well in this type of base, for the frozen heart models they straddle a bit more wilderness or I am putting snow on the tracks, Marcus and his beasts though are going more wilderness/badlands and as the colour palette of all the bases will be similar they will still look in place with the other crews.

Easy to clarify, if the blast damage came from a Sh attack then yes bulletproof would apply. If it came from a melee attack (ie Mei Feng's Vapourmancy, Misaki's Thunder) would would suffer the full amount of damage

For me its Marcus, theres a little crossover in minion choices and he can offer quite a different playstyle to Raspy
