Aberration

Nice! That would be awesome, as it would be good to start up a local malifaux following. I don't mind going all the way out to Westboro but it is kind of a long drive to make too often. FNC would be much, much more manageable.

Same deal man, sucks. Definitely next time.

Eww thats a lot of bodies, tough for Nico. Looks like it stays Punk Zombies for 1 haha

Nice. Thursdays can be tough for me before 7:30, but I'll see what I can do about that. I'd put in a vote for Malifaux Monday though, considering Mondays suck otherwise.

Not 3 corpses? Also, 5/8 is pretty good I'd say. I want to see what abilities that bad actor has. The book can't come in any sooner...

Sweet deal, somewhere that isn't an hour away! I'll be there...all the time. Did they mention which days/times that gaming was going to happen or is that still in the works?

Ah! No matter though, summoning a 10pt model is still beastly. Is this chimera a quick mover perchance? I wouldn't mind getting a quick zombie besides the necropunks (minus the new and improved rocket belles, of course).

awesome sauce.

U mad bro? Just wait til my sweet undead kitty eats that peacekeeper. And yes, thanks for the writeup for us poor folk still waiting anxiously for our copy of Rising Powers....it's slowly killing me.

Touche! Would Ramos be the hypothetical Spiderman? I mean, thats what Ramos does after all....

pigapult....god, that is awesome.

so much win

Do want :| looks like I'll have to take my cerberus and do some savage conversions on it for now.

Whenever I look at Hoffman all I see is Kevin Spacey from Seven. Now, I can't wait for Hoffman vs. Pandora...What's in the box?! What is it?!?!

Best prize ever. I'm gonna have to get good with Kirai real fast.

I'm all sorts of excited about this, especially since there MAY be a big summonable beast-mode zombie and the multitude of spirits I'm buying can be applicable outside of Kirai. Need Book 2 arrrgghhhhhhh

I'll try to answer this as best as I can...All of the factions have their niche, but some masters may behave differently than what one would expect out of the faction. An example of this could be Marcus of the Arcanists, which a mainly spell-slinging faction...yet he is more melee oriented. Ramos and Rasputina are the other two masters and they both excel at standing back and letting loose brutal spell damage. The Guild is based on heavy physical damage, where Lady J and Perdita excel at melee and ranged, respectively. Sonnia Criid is the third master who is nasty at throwing out fire spell blast templates and counter-magic, making her a touch different than the other two. The Resurrectionists do a lot of...resurrecting...while many undead have low defense they boast high wounds and resiliency, and potential swarm tactics due to summons. Nicodem is an excellent summoner and buffs all of his undead to ridiculousness and plays the spell slinger part. McMourning is a melee monster, and Seamus pretty much has a handheld cannon. Both of the aforementioned masters summon specific models only, while Nico can summon most any undead. Neverborn represent trickery and manipulation. Zoraida can move ridiculously fast and works via controlling card draws and enemy models. Lilith is absolutely ridiculous at melee and can ignore terrain completely while hacking people in half. Pandora forces willpower checks and morale duels while pinging people to death slowly, extremely annoying and brutal to face (speaking from personal experience). The outcasts are a ragtag bunch, high point cost models for the most part and usually very specialized. Tough to play but very powerful in their own right. Leveticus can destroy almost anything in one turn, including himself! The Viktorias can swap themselves around the board and have great damage output (plus you get two masters, in essence!). Hope I answered some of your questions, sometimes I have a lot of time to blow at work hahaha

I should be able to attend this one, can't go to NH tmrw though Gotta avenge both the resurrectionists and my poor performance at the last tourney I went to haha

haha thats a good idea...insult to injury!

I have the same backstory, GW destroyed me with constant pricing increases and just having to pay billions of dollars for an army to be functional/competetive. I play Warmachine myself (Khador all the way!) and am just starting a Skorne force for Hordes. I like the models for both factions and find them enjoyable to paint...the game is also very enjoyable as well. Hordes seems like a lot of fun, a new variation of a game that I already know and love! TL;DR- If you can find opponents I'd definitely recommend buying a small force...like 15 points...and just playing around with it to see how you feel. See if your LGS has people that wouldn't mind helping you out!

Sounds like he will have a use for the Malifaux Child totem haha

Gentlemen's duels all day long. Fun tourney, I wish Nico wasn't so &@!# slow!

Poor McMourning. Gets a tough box set but he's my fave just because I love when he gets into combat and kills with impunity. I guess you could call it...a surgical strike.

I'd assume it would be close, yes. Although them not being "masters" may result in a lower soulstone cap or some sort of hinderance in return for more elite crew members. I'm not part of the beta at all, just speculation...I figure there must be a difference b/w running a Henchman crew and a Master crew

True story, Zoraida can escape quickly...but you'd be out of range of all the voodoo shenanigans and miss out on doing anything else for at least one more turn. Unless you camped a voodoo doll somewhere of course...
