  1. Everybody I know seems to have struggled with the tail, I found it fairly easy to be honest. Bet your not so glad I found you that Misaki box now eh?  ;)

    I'm still super happy. I built Misaki and an Oiran over the weekend. Now I know what to do with Shang I can get on with Ototo and the Torokage and have everything I need done for getting them onto the table. 

     

    There are some really small contact points for some of the new plastics but they look really good when they're assembled. 

  2. Putting together my Misaki crew and everything more or less seems to be obvious as to where it goes, however, Shang's tail pieces are giving me fits. I've glued the larger part into the body and that works fine, but where the hell does the smaller piece go? I cannot, no matter what contortions I use, get it to look anything like it does in the box art. 

  3. I've just placed the order. Hopefully they turn out to be in stock and stuff arrives. If that's so I could kiss you (I won't, after all, I barely know you!) I was about 10 minutes away from purchasing Yan Lo as it looked like he'd be OK with the models I currently own and would be another Ten Thunders crew I could use in the interim. 

  4. Do we have any idea of when this will be available? It's the crew I want to start with, I already have the fate deck, a pack of Ronin and Oiran. I know there are other masters in Outcasts/Ten Thunders but not sure any of them will work as well with what I've already purchased and ideally don't want to spend some cash on another faction (considering Ressers). 

     

    I did think about getting the Viks but then I'd have more Ronin than I know what to do with. 

  5. I used to order from them a lot when Confronation version 3 was new. They didn't used to be that bad, but then, slowly, things would not turn up and emails asking for updates would go unanswered so I stopped using them. That was probably 2007/8 IIRC. 

     

    After all this time I thought I'd give them another go, thinking that in another 7 years if they were still operational and carrying new stock they might have improved some. Turns out they haven't as it's three weeks now since I placed the order and no communication. I'll be opening a Paypal dispute soon I think. Needless to say I'll not be ordering from them again. I'll stick to Element/Troll Trader/Firestorm that provide an excellent service. 

  6. Arcane Miniatures in the UK were showing the Misaki box in stock when I checked a couple of days ago.  Not sure how accurate it will be though.

     

    And also it would be the old cards inside.

     

    Well, I ordered the Misaki set from AM as they are the only people showing it in stock. That was two weeks ago, no despatch notification and no reply to emails asking what's going on.... sigh. 

     

    Looks like I'll be waiting for the reprint before I get to play. 

  7. After having played the first edition of the game I know that you can't really "make a list" because obviously things change according to strategies and schemes. But as I'll be working from a limited model pool for a while wanted to try and come up with something that would cover the bases as it were and it give me a decent opportunity. 

     

    Taking on board your advice I came up with the below revision. I'd like 10T Archers but don't think they are necessarily required, at least not yet. But juggling whether to go proper 10T or Outcast seems like a tough toss up.

  8. Looking at getting back into Malifaux. I have the Outcasts, Ressers and 10T Arsenal decks and have been looking at my options. My first thought was Misaki but then I do remember enjoying playing with Seamus in 1st edition. I no longer have any of my models so would be starting from scratch with the new plastics. 

     

    I like the 10T/Outcasts Misaki for the her and the Torokage, Ronin, Oiran models primarily. 

    I like the Ressers because of zombie hookers and nurses, which I understand work well together. 

     

    What are people's opinions of the following as an idea of what to buy into to get to 50ss? The chap I will be playing against has Lady J, Sonnia and Dreamer sets.

  9. Thanks for the swift replies. I did expect that I'd get the profiles in the rules manual but that just may have been bad planning on my part. Small books are always good to take to the table afterall. 

     

    For the book 1 masters is there a rundown of syneries and playstyles? There are several crew boxes I like the look of but obviously need to consider how I'd expand on those to see if I like the stuff in faction and if things would gel together or be like what my daughter makes when she has building blocks out (it goes together but it ain't pretty). 

     

    Thanks. 

  10. Many moons ago I started Malifaux in the first edition. 

     

    I've since bought the new 2e rules manual and am looking at picking up some models to enjoy the new plastics. I was looking at either returning to the resurrectionists, or going Ten Thunders. 

     

    I went to a site today and found that they'd sold out (or suddenly lacked stock) of the starter set and seemingly everywhere in the UK has none of them either. 

     

    Also, is there anywhere that you can see the cards for all the current releases so as to plan ahead with what to buy? 

     

    I got the rules manual because I like small rulebooks so I'd rather not have to buy effectively the same again just to get the stats, the same with buying an Arsenal box I wouldn't want cards that I might duplicate later on by buying stuff. 

     

    So, it's as if something is telling me not to get Ten Thunders and instead get McMourning or Seamus hehe.
