Woop woop!! I'll be there

As a Belgian player, we are "trying" to out number you guys

W00t looking forward to the tournie

Well I also had an awesome time! Played some really nice games and met a lot of fun people!

Game 1: Ophelia vs Pandora: loss

Game 2: Ophelia vs Justice: win

Game 3: So'mer + Ophelia vs Kiria + Seamus: win

Game 4: So'mer + Ophelia vs Von Shill: win

Game 5: So'mer + Ophelia vs Justice + Hoffman + Lucius: win

Pretty good in the end I believe...

I don't see this as a disease but a sign of hope. The other faction players might be out there statistically working out which models do the most damage/control/etc whereas we Arcanists take pride in our fluff and choose gangs that look nice together.

<---Insert heroic speech here.

I totally agree with this post! I love the fluff and I try to win even though I play fluffy lists

Cool, thanks. While you're at it, we still need that clarification on whether we can Assimilating Reactivate or not.

While you're at it Please clarify this one...

I was actually thinking about coming up on the Friday to catch up, have a laugh, and stay over for the early part of Saturday, just to help out with rules queries and generally to watch a few intersting games! And bug you ofcourse lol

you can always help the European lads with drinking their beer on friday night (not that I will need any assistance )

Som'er will be a big change I guess... Starting without mosquitos and using 2 hog whispers perhapse? That was the first and most obvious one I could think of.

I like the idea of a $$$$$$$$$$, and I understand the creepy ability... To bad it affects the living models again...

But $$$$$$$$$$$$ do creep me out, and I'm living (sorta) so I understand your idea

There's this guy.

Its absolutly perfect!

Hi guys/gals

I'm looking for an asylum patient model in a straightjacket...

Does anyone know a good place to search?

Thanks in advance

He still hasn't finished 10 of them, your not whipping him hard enough, or your giving him basic human rights like sleep.

Classic rookie mistake...

Still space for Ramos Avatar of Cakes

All: Summon 4 M&SU miners who eat all the cake counters in play?

hmm, RM: a model is friendly when you control them, seems straightforward to me

It's also an enemy when hired by the other crew... I know it isn't that clear... But imagine you could alfa a master into drain souling himself? You would even get the ss xD

jep something like that

and don't forget, when the enemy model resists he has because of enemy, when you control it, it becomes friendly

I'm sorry to point this one out, but if you control them, they don't become friendly, but they aren't enemy either... Its weird, I know But otherwise you could Alfa an opposing master and let him sacrifice himself for a soulstone...

Also, dominance gives flips to resist duels... So it is less powerfull than Staredown

Kairis can only hire ms&u members or assets, so no totems or myranda for her...

I won because I won most of my initiative flips and my awesome skills obviously

Eum, I mean, because Marcus is terribly overpowered

Battlereports right here -> http://wyrd-games.net/forum/showthread.php?p=307095#post307095

Allright, here are some small battlereports from the tournament yesterday. I hope I remember all the schemes from my opponent! The tricky 30ss format was special

There were 21 players (sadly magicpockets and drake didn't make it )

The strategies were shared and fixed, and you gained +2vp if you tried your masterspecific and both your factionspecific.

Game 1 Marcus vs Hamelin

Strategie: Shared deliver a message

Schemes: Primal Source & Power ritual

Opp Schemes: Stake a claim & Twart

List: Marcus, Jackaloppe, 3x Silurid, Shikome, Molemen

Opp list: Hamelin, Wretch, Nix, 2x Rat catcher, 3x Mx Rat, 1 Stolen

My opponent (Bart) was a new player (3th game with hamelin) so for him, it was sometimes a bit overwhelming.

I did what i would have done against any opponent, start the ritual and move forward with care. He did the same thing. In turn 2 i gave huntingpartners to a silurid who moved a whooping 20'' and still deliver a message ( leap + move in combat with rat + self preservation towards Hamlin) The Silurid died that turn to obviously... Marcus teamed up with the molemen and the shikome. The other Silurids leaped the flank. Hamelin tried to control the middle and Nix moved with some rats towards the Silurids.

Turn 3 the Silurids ritualed the 3th corner and leaped for cover. Nix and his rats were way to slow. Hamelin was afraid of the shikome, and send his ratcatchers forward along with a couple of rats. After reading that ratcatchers can interact for a (1) I started to play even more with care. Marcus charged a rat for a (0) killed it (turning it into a beast) and jumping away. leaving his small molefriend behind who died from alot of ratbites...

Turn 4 Marcus did the same trick, and scored Primal Source (he even killed a 3th just to be safe, (I always thought he needed 3 beast kills lol...) while the silurids scored the 4th tablecorner. There was however now way I could stop his stake a claim...

8-2

Game 2 Marcus vs Ophelia

Strategie: Shared Supply wagon

Schemes: Assasinate & Stake a Claim

Opp Schemes: Hold out & Stake a Claim

List: Marcus, Jackaloppe, Shikome, Cerberuss, Myranda, Waldgeist

Opp List: Ophelia, Pere Ravagé, Rami, Francois, Raphael, 4x Bayou Gremlins

My opponent (Bram) is also a proud member of ROFLstomp who really loves playing Ophelia. So I knew almost exactly how he plays his crew, he on the other hand has only played vs Marcus once.

Turn one my crew spreads out and Marcus claims the center of the table as his own. I'm just out of range for a Pere slingshot (well, he could have done it, but the damage would have been on to few models) but Marcus would be a serious threat in the next turn. Rami takes 3 shots on Marcus, and sqeeuzes 4 dmg threw (ouch...) Cerberus leaps in stalker position.

I win initiatif and Marcus/Cerberus Howl/Roar his entire crew (he didn't spread enough...) Only Ophelia wins the duel. She shoot at Marcus, but his df 7 doesn't fail him. Cerberus eats Rami. His crew rallies and my crew moves up the table.

I win initiatif again and devour Ophelia with Marcus (thank you red joker ) The cerberus leaps and Roars again (I felt very bad for doing it, but Bram was actually laughing )

He did however kill the Cerberus but focussing him to death. My waldgeist Stake a claimed and everything else tried to stop the the gremlins their stake a claim to succeed. Francois however one-shots Myranda and 1 Gremlin makes it to the Stake a Claim.

Oh yeah, I completly trashed his wagon

8-2

Game 3 Marcus vs C. Hoffman

Strategie: Shared Turf War

Schemes: Sabotage & Breaktrough

Opp Schemes: Bodyguard & Breaktrough

List: Marcus, Jackaloppe, 3x Silurids, Shikome, Molemen

Opp list: Hoffman, Peacekeeper, Guardian, Austringer, Watcher, Witchling Stalker

I played against Kevin (aka Headcase2) who won the last tournament. We started the match, and it became quickly clear that neither of us could engage without losing... If he made a move on me, I would pounce him to dead, and viceversa... The game ended in turn 4 after 15 minutes... We could have settled for a 7-7 draw, but we both knew that wasn't the ROFLstomp way...

6-6

Game 4 Marcus vs Colette

Strategie: Shared Stake a Claim

Schemes: Bodyguard & Kill protegé (Casandra)

Opp Schemes: Grudge (Cerberus) & Assasinate

List: Marcus, Jackaloppe, Molemen, Cerberus, Waldgeist, Shikome

Opp list: Colette, Preformer + manequin, 2x Coryphee, Casandra

My opponent (Tomas) is a member of the Puppeteers, a newly formed group and direct rival to the ROFLstompers! This would be the ultimate shodown. (Reallity, he's a fun guy )

He outactivated me turn one and moves his Casandra in breathfire range of the Cerberus, he flips a Black Joker for damage. His duet however dances towards that same Cerberus and filps red joker for damage. (thank you terrible damage output) only 6 dmg...

Turn 2, Marcus wins initiatif and decides he wants to control the duet. He turns them in a beast and also the alfa works. The duet walks towards Casandra and hits her on the head. She only causes 2 wounds, but a 14 point model that doesn't activated this turn is always worth the money!

Casandra kills the cerberus but gets charged and killed by the shikome. The waldgeist places his forest so Colette has no clear shot at Marcus.

Turn 3 I win initiative again and decide to try the same trick, I didn't notice the dove however and the corryphee duet blocks my (0) action (I would have cried if he blocked my alfa...) So Marcus changes plans and decides to kill a preformer instead...

Colette and the duet apears and drags Marcus down to 2 wounds. The plus side however -> Colette has 0 stones!

Turn 4

I try to kill Colette with Marcus but she flashes away, so now I need to kill the Manequin. I actived the waldgeist and companion the jackaloppe. With immens lucky they kill it!

The Duet needs to start thinking about the claim jump (which was the hanging tree with Terrifying 12)

Colette wants to try one last nifty trick and switches places with the duet only to become very afraid of the hanging tree.

Finaly score: 8 - 2

And the only reason I went to the tournie with Marcus was to prove he isn't that bad Mission accomplisched I believe

Yesterday I won the burning tree tournament (belgium...) with the most awesome master ever, Marcus!

I will post my reports later today!

The tournament was awesome! Met some really nice new people, and played the most awesomest game in the world (i m talking about malifaux in general )

I will write up some batreps about my Marcus-games, asap

Edit: going to sleepmode now...

It costs Hoffman 2 AP per turn to assimilate Reactivate. Kirai can also gain Reactivate for 2 AP and a Seishin (which is little to no cost to her). Honestly, there is nothing OP about Hoffman gaining 3 AP, and another Construct getting 2 AP for the cost of 2 AP.

necromancy, sorry about that

I don't really agree with you... Hoffman can hire Joss, hence his reactivate only costs him a (0) action...

Everybody always forgets second place

Oh well, more moments to shine I guess

I think you missed a few episodes. He can hover wile screaming EXTERMINATE .

I installed a "mute"-button last week, so that problem has been solved he is still terrifying 20 though...

*cough* you should know it's very very important to choose the right UK player, assuming you want first place in your team

ROFLSTOMP for the win

Magicpockets, You are now a proud member of the ROFLstomp team! Your own ROFLcopter is being deliverd as we speak!

(thats right Drake, we have our own ROFLcopter!)

What about the other big group, the Puppeteers?!....They recruiting too?..

They had like 8 minutes to reply... So i'm guessing they aren't looking for new members :evil:
