  1. Necropunks have leap, flesh constructs come with a free action & potential for better. There are undead with flurry. There are a number of bonus movememt effects (fresh meat, lure, spirit bouncing) There may not be many +AP per se but there are plenty of bonus actions.
  2. It does seem logical that if you have conditional armour that it only exists while that condition is being fulfilled e.g. During a ranged attack; whereas a model that has the armor trait has it all the time.
  3. Who knows what'll happen this time but Rising Powers was a lot faster to people who ordered from Wyrd than it was to others outside the US. There were some supply/distribution issues at that time though so that issue could have been ironed out.
  4. How do you feel about laundering some counterfeit soulstones for me ?
  5. Also DATE TO BE CONFIRMED ! I just realised that's Judgement Day (the one local 40k tourney I attend each year), so it'll most likely be Sat 13 August.
  6. Malifaux Team Madness ! That's right, it's time for another team tourney. They're always fun, and always great for new players. The scenarios are always crazy and the fun is always funny. - Saturday August 13th (TBC). - Battle Bunker: 388 High Street Northcote. - $20 per player includes BBQ lunch. - 9:00am for a 9:30am start. - 3 extended rounds, this will be a bit of a longer tourney than we usually have so that the games have time to come to a more natural conclusion. I expect to finish around 7 rather than around 5:30. - Please be on time, and ready to play at 9:30am so we can keep the day as short as possible. Crew Construction Each team field a combined crew based on the following rules: - Each player on a team must build a 30ss crew. - The combined crews of both players must be legal in a Malifaux Brawl (so compatible masters, no duplication of unique models). - The game is considered a brawl so all Brawl conditions apply (changes some masters crew construction, doubles rare value, etc). - Each player will maintain their own soulstone pool. Game Rules - At the start of each game, all players discard one SS if they have a cache. - Each player will maintain their own hand of 6 cards (this is lower than the standard brawl hand). - Each round all players flip for initiative. The player who wins goes first followed by the opposite opponent, the first players teammate, then the other opponent. - Any negative initiative modifier (e.g. Doppleganger) applies to both enemy players but positive modifiers only affect the player with the ability. Proxies - Only currently released models may be proxied, totems excepted. - Proxies must be thematically awesome and represent the model they are standing in for. - Any crew with proxies must be fully painted (both players). - You must provide a current version Malifaux stat card for any proxied model.
  7. I would echo what Karn said... I usually only take a couple of SS for those times when Levi needs to lay the smack down... otherwise generally Levi is either good enough without them, or screwed even with them.
  8. Perdita, Lillith and Jady J are some of the best masters when you first start out with solid box sets and generally fairly forgiving playstyles. A few more models here and there and some thinking outside the damage charts helps a lot. For example as was mentioned before LJ can give death marshals melee expert... and death marshalls can give death marshalls more Cb, and LJ can give death marshals more Cb... Similarly many new Neverborn players forget Lilith has spells other than transposition and illusionary forest and that a mature Nephilim has wing buffet (which is awesome in objective grab missions)
  9. Malifaux does have some rock paper scissors to it, not all matchups are good or balanced (I'll leave it to you to decide if that's cool). Perdita's awesome, but she's really not OP at all, playing vs ortegas with their awesome ranged attacks is a talent... though some crews can just walk over her. Immune to Influence can be countered by a number of models and a model immune to influence still makes terrifying tests so Wp can be important. SImple duels which are required by some actions and some strategies and schemes don't have a defender (terrifying for exmaple is a simple duel) so Immune to Influence doesn't work, also for example attacking Pandora where Perdita is the aggressor (though Perdy can get around that another way). LJ being a big scaredy cat is wierd though To add to what Drake said, LJ can also potentially hit up to 13Cb which is way better than perdy 8Df and can potentially hit for 11 damage without a red joker (though this is probably close to the same likelyhood as getting the red )
  10. The things is every game of Malifaux is a tall tale told in a pub after hours... and always told by the victor.
  11. Sat July 2nd Battle Bunker 388 High St Northcote VIC $20 35ss 3 rounds (longer rounds) 3 lists/one master - each list must contain a minimum of 2 models /10ss (whichever is greater) that do not appear in another list. OR 3 lists/3 masters from the same faction. No repeat schemes across games. Bonus Tourney Points for using all 3 lists on the day. Proxies of current models allowed only if the crew is fully painted. No unreleased models allowed.
  12. You're simply constructing your sentences to support your case. The name of the spell is fine and there are plenty of ways to use it logically in a sentence. You would not 'use' Obey, you would _cast_ Obey, it's a spell not an object. This would go for your other examples as well, you cannot use Menace, it's a spell, you cast it. You can use a gun, if the gun is called Obey you can use Obey even if it sounds wierd. You cannot cast a gun (though literally if you threw it you did cast it away). You might use (well even then more accurately read or pronounce) a scroll inscribed with the spell Obey as that is an object.
  13. There was a lot of discussion of this kind of thing during the Rising Powers beta, it's one of the reasons the Lawyer is so tightly worded. Think of Alpha, it's 7mask reactivate (albeit as a 2 action). I'm pretty sure you can come up with a few models that would be nice to activate twice rather than using Marcus' actions for himself (and of course he can still get a strike or charge (and a charge of course can be used for movement rather than attack) if he doesn't need to turn one of his own models into a beast (e.g. double-lawyer, shikome, etc)). It's also an issue for future proofing as it means every model that can potentially brawl with Marcus has to be balanced for Marcus being able to reactivate it.
  14. At one of our tournaments one of the younger players asked why Perdita had Obey. I told him he'd understand when he was older. True story. I tihnk the misogynistic comment is the point
  15. There are some pretty broken combos with him giving beast to his own dudes and stuff that follows on from there.
  16. You would cast obey on papa loco, you wouldn't cast command on papa loco.
  17. In your example, you do complete all steps of the action, you attempt to place a model, and fail because there is no room.. the rules allow for this by telling you you can't place it if there's no room... they don't stop you performing that step, they alter the outcome of that step. The controlling models rule on the other hand tells you that you aren't allowed to try to place the model, thus negating the effect because you can't perform that step at all (the difference between trying and failing, and not being allowed to). I'm going to leave it there, not because I think you're being argumentative, but because if that doesn't convince you, I don't know how to reword it
  18. The semantic, and in this case extremely important, difference... is that there's no rule stopping you trying to place the model, there's a rule that prevents you actually placing it (needs room) so you can use the effect freely, and later fail to complete a part of it. This is the same as the example given earlier where you can fail to actually cast a spell, or choose a trigger you then fail to accomplish because the spell didn't work well enough. In the Obey example, there's a rule specifically stopping you from being allowed to place a model (can't make models) which negates the entire effect from being attempted.
  19. Another option depending on how cheaply you can source them is pulling apart wind up toys or those pull back/push cars from discount stores... usually the motors in those things contain a couple springs, 3-5 cogs, and some interesting gubbins. For my spiders I mounted them on the little metal disc that holds the wick inside a tea candle (perfect size and already a magnetic alloy so I only needed one magnet on the base)
  20. Violation is a different case... there's no rule saying you can't perform part of the effect (in that case placing the model) you'll simply fail to place it at the point where you should. You couldn't Obey a model to cast it because part of it may require placing a model, thus contravening the rule we're talking about here.
  21. I tihnk Hansels post says it all, it made him think differently, that's the whole point of discussion. Without the social element we might as well be playing patience with our malifaux decks.
  22. Yeah I know, having discussions is a curse upon us all.
