Hi. I have been away from. Malifaux for a year or so. So out of the last wave or two what are the 

Must buys

Ok to buy

Dont buys

For lucius?

Im not just thinking for cards.move her up to were you want lucius to be and then she is his battery. Bought you an activation and ahes back in for next round

Hi. Has anyone tried serena bowman with lucius. Lucius using deep pockets, condisending and aether protection (you could go for wings as a replacment for any of them). First turn serena stays near lucius. Lucius stones for cards and then stones for abilitys killing serena. Then bring serena back and do it again. Thanks to condesending you get a ss back every time she dies. Use this to fuel a ss heavy henchman.

When serena dies and is resummoned is she the same serena or a new serena? I assumed she is a new serena but the wording using her name just reads like she is the same?

No he dosnt as the emessary has a 0pt upgrade for that

Hi guys. With the errata now around and 3 horsemen (just the right amount) taking a pts dive we now have 10 pts spair in the levi emissary list, so what do you fill it with? Some cheep objective pecies like void wretches, a biger utility peice like sue, just cram upgrades on everyone? What do we think?

I prefer bios that are purly fact based. I dont like ones that are a mini story from the prepective of the model or from some one else about the model.

I get the purpose of the mini story format for some things. When you want to have something that is beyond comprehension, or that is mysterius and no one knows much about it. But i still just prefer to have the facts and then if you want a mystical story around it. Put it in the books story

Oh and hate the nursery rhym, poem bios. There beutiful and its not there content. Just so vauge to me that they may as well not exist

Picking up on something Beevison said, thats a shift i had to accept. Parkers crew alot like the crossroads 7 guys. Gives your oponant alot of control with how they deal with you (theu can pick the opyion that hurts them least) Now on the face of it that is realy bad. But its just around making sure neither option is good. With the dm recruiter i talked about earlyer. He has to discard cards to do things as i had put his hands in the air. Now you think. Oh well he can just discard cards and hasnt realy suffered. Well when you consider that he has to discard to attack burryed people and discard to keep guild marshals alive already then the two cards tends to hit a bit harder. So yes your oponant chooses the option that fits them best. Just taylor your effects to the modles they will hurt most

I found the hail of bullet markers fantastic. Either to block enemy paths (held a death marshal recruiter out of los of his crew for 2 turns) or as portable cover for my self (carefull of lurs)

Dont use parker as a beater. I found that his damage is consistant but consistantly low

Cards or ss, depending on the limited upgrade you take changes what your better at. And buold around this. If you love ama then go for the one that gives you card cycling to make up for her low values. However if you prefer alice and her ability to make aboms then take the ss based upgrade to fuel her

Most of parker and his crew have pittyfull damage. Bring something that can fight as you will need it and parker can do alot of schemes solo

Some modles im keeping an eye on

Envy, hes better when he shoots at enemys near markers and parker drops thouse markers

Gluttony, tag some one with the hungry condition and then pop them with parker or anyone with a built in drop it trigger to lead them around and spike higher damage

I think there is something there useing nix and benny as a front line and useing the upgrade to shoot everyone engaged

So juat reading through the outcast emissary and thaks to parker i have a question i didnt expect. The emissary says on its weary road action. 

Place A scheme marker in base contact.

Not freindly not enemy. So can the owning player chose who owns the scheme marker?

So i have been looking at the crossroads guys alot atm with parker

Envy shoots good when he shoots near a marker. Parker drops markers at range

Pride/greed (can never remember witch is witch) makes people discard cards or take damge chunks. Parker uses stick up to drain cards

The othere one. Saps ss. Anothere thing that parker can do and likes.

Lust helps clear room for mad dog and helps bunch people for dynamite

And my favorit with parker. Greed. When a marker is placed move to it and take two damage parker can use this to lead an enemy round and do min dmg 4 shots

Side thought in relation to greed. Greed and the new prospector can do some pritty good crew manipulation and damage working in tandom

Yh, no if thats how the timeing is resolved then only one would. Who decides witch model triggers first?

Sad face. Thanks

So if gluttony makes two people hungry for scheme markers and then a marker is droped between both of them. Do they both move to it and eat it. Or will one move and eat then the second has no marker to move to?

Well i still like the idea. Any of you guys tried gluttony with parker? Seems like a match made in heaven

also just re-read nix's upgrade and realised you can take hounds. And what do guild hounds like? To charge enemeys stood next to scheme markers. I wounder who forces enemys to drop them

Some things i habe read mention parker as having a surplus of ss typicly. What would you spend them doing in game. I thought maybe fule rustys abom creations.

Im contemplating using nix. He is a tough modle especialy with a bucket of ss. And the ability to hit everyone engaged means i can hit everyone with hands in the air. Nix then nhialists the condition meaning he is un effected. And the enemys now have to attack. Each failed attack healing nix

Parker activates and drops Hail of Bullets (back to back) behind enemy model.  Once Mad Dog activates he can then rapid fire and use the built in trigger to push the enemy model backwards into HoB.  I think Parker has an upgrade that will allow him to "prompt" a model to make a 1AP action, so this might be able to be done on just Parkers activation.

It's a simple combo but can work if you pull it off.  Mad Dog has a pretty decent damage spread, so if you rapid fire and hit them twice, then thats a minimum 6 damage, plus being pushed thru HoB twice for minimum 4 more.

 

I realy like that. Thats the kind of simple but effective combos that you can miss at first sight. 

Beergod. Thats a nice straight forward synergy. I realy realy like dead outlaws and will be having them in my crew anyway

Hi. Im getting parker in a few days after a long hiatus. And i love doing the unconventional.

So let me know some of the plays and/or combos that you have found fun/strong with parker.

Hi. Im returning after not playing for a year and a bit ( dont realy have any wave 3 or 4 stuff) and im looking for some help on what to buy from the new waves to get me up to speed. Im going to be buying parker to use. And i also enjoy tara, hamlin and Jack daw. What things out of the last two waves do i realy need and what can i avoid. Also is anything from the old books starting to get a lot of play from a meta shift?

He works okay with Loco, but Jack Daw does that trick better. If you want something nasty with Lucius take Santiago. I'll let you all do the math on that.

Did some math and i dont get whats so strong

So both also state printed so in both examples would need to be next to the modle holding the upgrade not the modle benifiting from it

Im mainly focused on the doppel. Also there are things like the changleing who dont care about the leader critiria. But are worded i belive the same why.

I dont personaly know of any but if an upgrade said take an action that x model can take then you could copy the monks ability from the monk as it dosnt state printed on card. Just can take. Is how i see it

Thanks ludvig i know its not official but you see it how i see it

Sry actions. So prime example. Doppleganger wants to use a monk of low rivers new heal. Dose she coppy it from the monk or from the modle holding the new 0 upgrade.

Second one the doppelganger cant copy from leaders. So with lucius and his new attack from the emissary can the doppelganger copy it from the emissary cus its on his upgrade and thats nonleader. Or he cant as lucius gains the action meaning the emissary never had it

So i asked a similer question and prompted an argument just wondering if we have an official answere on this. Where is an ability considerd to be for abilitys that referance othere modles.

wording examples. Copy an ability printed on a non master modles card or upgrade

So part one. an upgrade such as a fix upgrade that gives othere modles and action (monk of low river) dose the monk of low river have the action to copy or as it says printed on dose this mean it is actualy on the upgrade that a henchman has

Second. A non master giving a master an action such as emissary upgrades. Can you coppy it from the master as the upgrade originates from of the emissary. Do you copy it from the emessary who has it printed on one of his cards although he dosnt have the action him self

when insted of printed it says that target modles may preform that is fairly clear. The monk can preform it not the modle with the upgrade and the master can preform it not the emissary.

Please help
