I'll be running a demo of Malifaux 2E on October 12th, details are below. Any levels of experience are welcome to come and play. Location: Gamescape San Francisco 333 Divisadero St San Francisco, CA 94117 Time: 2pm to 7:30pm Materials Needed: None, I'll have a few crews put together and ready to play.

Right, got my ability names mixed up.

Hmm.. if it is as RAW, it definitely would be pretty awesome to bury an entire enemy list.

If you didn't get a chance to buy her during the GenCon special, proxy Avatar Sonnia until you can get her. She is a beat stick of fiery power. Same for the Witchling Handler, especially if you are fielding plenty of Withclings. Guild Hounds are good to field in certain cases. They are 3ss a piece, but they net you back 1 for every two you hire. Very effective mid to late game models as they can companion off of each other or your master. Desperate Mercenaries are a good addition since they are only 2 points a piece. Although you might not want them since it will cost an in game Soulstone to just keep them around after turn 3, but they are very good even at the price of an extra soulstone, especially since you can use them as a meat shield and as a healing flip when they die. Another thing you should also consider when hiring Guild Hounds, Desperate Mercenaries and Witchling Stalkers. Since they are cheap or have positive effects for you when they die, you can always use them as origination points for Inferno and deal blast damage to enemy models while denying them a defense flip.

There was a fairly strong list being played with Lucius. Lots of attacks being thrown from Guild Austingers through walls from Lucius and Governor's Proxy. Backed up with Ryle as a heavy hitter and Guild Guard and Captain for extra damage. However, I don't think the list placed very high in the tournament I saw it in. -Lucius w/ 4ss -Governor's Proxy -Guild Austingers x 2 -Guild Guardsmen x 2 -Guild Guard Captain -Ryle A Perdita list was being played during the Story Encounters Tournament, but I don't think it did well either. -Perdita w/ 5ss -Nino -Santiago -Francisco -Executioner -Convict Gunsliger There was a Lady Justice list that fared pretty well against most others, but again, not another top ranking list. He did have an interesting play style with Papa Loco being thrown into the mix. -Lady J w/ 5ss -Judge -Death Marshal x 3 -Scales of Justice -Executioner -Papa Loco Lastly, I played three different Guild List while I was there. I did moderately well with them, but did place in any tournaments except for the Wild Card Tournament where my Guild list was very dominant. List 1: I did alright with this list, but in the end, Lucius really held me back by eating up a lot of points and not having enough Elite Division or Guardsmen to back him up. -Lady J w/ 4ss -Scale of Justice -Lucius -Judge -Death Marshal x 3 -Guild Guard List 2: This list was played against a friend of mine when we got paired up in a match. Since he always went with Ramos, I decided to play Hoffman with Arcanist constructs only. I lost in the end, but Override Effect proved extremely valuable with taking control of his Steampunk Arachnids and self destructing them on Ramos. -Hoffman w/ 8ss -Steamborg Executioner -Joss List 3: With Avatar Lady J bought and painted during GenCon, I whipped her out to great effect every time I used her. I might have placed better with them in the Story Encounters if we had time to play our final round, but who knows. -Lady J+Avatar w/ 8ss -Scales of Justice -Judge -Death Marshal x 3 -Witchling Stalker x 2 In the end, however, not many Guild list were being played taht i could see. Plenty of Kirai and Dreamer play, however.

Haha, I totally didn't realize that. I Pine Box'ed my buddy's Teddy and he let it happen, guess he thought I knew more about his Pandora drawback than I did.

Death Marshals are still my favorite of the 4ss and under crowd for Guild. Hard to Wound has saved them more than enough times from ending up dead too early and Slow to Die combined with an extremely effective range attack with auto Critical Strike almost has always guarantied that they will get their revenge. Also, if you can ever manage to Pine Box a model such as Teddy, you won't regret it. Just save a 13:crows for such occasions.

However, this is a good addition to what I said. I almost edied mine saying that you could do it with Alpha from Marcus or Override Effect with Hoffman.

Victory to the quick!

You cannot use actions that would kill or sacrifice the model if you gain control of them through obey, so no.

Push is affected by terrain, for example severe terrain, and anything that would stop it if it is push 'directly' away, for example another model. The exception is when the model needs to be pushed within a certain distance of another model, then you ignore any and all penalties as long as the movement allows legal placement. For more reference, check Page 37 of the Rules Manual.

Necromorph did a really good job of summarizes it here: http://wyrd-games.net/forum/showthread.php?t=23441
