Here is Kaeris with my December Acolyte for scale, she seems to fit right in. Also, I found some cool mini's to proxy for the Gunsmith (all six for $10!). Scale wise: Once I base and paint them I think they'll fit right in. They can be found at: http://www.knuckleduster.com/store/cart.php?target=product&product_id=353&category_id=29 Hope this helps you aspiring Kaeris lovers =D Good luck.

Yeah, my local game shop had the Heroclix for $0.25 each so all-in-all the model costs around $1.00 (4 x $0.25 for 3 mini's and 1 base).

After reading the new book I became really intrigued with the new Arcanis Henchman Kaeris. After seeing the next 4 months release schedule however, I became disappointed. Yes, the Arcanists got Colette but hardly anything else coming out in the next 4 months =( I decided to take matters into my own hands. Introducing my Kaeris Project: I made this miniature by piecing together bits from Heroclix. The body is "BLACK CANARY" from JLA, the wings are from Hawkwoman with added tips made from greenstuff, the coat tails were made from a cape from some random mini cut to fit, the base is corkboard. The card I made in Microsoft Paint (that's right, paint) from a sample Ramos card I found on the net. I simply went in and colored out all the Ramos stats and typed in Kaeris's. Once printed I laminated it so that I could use a dry erase on her wound boxes (like I do to all my cards). Thanks for looking, hope you like! Also, hope I don't get sued for making that card =D I promise to buy a proper one when it comes out Wyrd.

Good idea about putting white on the snow, TimeLapse. Yeah it kinda looks like slush at the moment rather than snow. Thanks for the tips guys =D

This is my second Malifaux crew. I've added the December Acolyte, Wendigo and Essence of Power to Rasputina's box set. I can't wait for the new December crew mini's to come out! The bases are all done with cork board, citadel "snow" flock, citadel "burnt grass" flock, brown sand, 'ard coat, and woodland scenics water effects (for the icicles). The Essence of Power's base is made with green stuff and I made the design with a tiny screwdriver. I really love the scheme of this crew and can't wait to field the new December models. Until they come out it's back to putting together my Viktoria crew. Thanks for looking!

This is my first crew for Malifaux. I have 3 Silurids that I will post when completed also another Hoarcat Pride and the other 2 Molemen. There you have it. The bases are done using cork board, sand, citadel "burnt" grass flock, aquarium weeds, green stuff (the dark green vines), citadel snow flock, and woodland scenics water effects (the icicles and creek on the hoarcat pride). I know the paint is a bit off but this is my first crew, I hope to get better =) Thanks for looking.

LoboStele said: "You position so that you can do Companion with the SoC and BOTH Viks, then have your Gun-Vik run/charge up or whatever is necessrary to get close to the enemy." Yes recieving fast is pretty cool but is it worth 3 Soulstones? Seems like SS striking/defending and damage prevention is better than gaining fast. It seems like a better idea to send ronin ahead and tie up your targets while your Viktorias move in for the killing blow with SS boosted attacks. If the SoC's Assist action were a Spell then it would be another monster all together since the Viks would both benefit. As far as crew options I recently switched to the Viktorias and I'm basing them on a High Cb/high Df scheme. Bishop, while expensive has a ton of flexibility and can be at an effective Cb 10 against any target that isn't smart enough to hide from him. Also, he has the option to go to 8 Df. While in Defensive stance he can stick in with ANY non-master model. He can also scoot across the board quickly, walking once then charging for (1)AP (even if you don't end in melee range you still move the charge so you can target a model that is clear across the board). Misaki can go to Dg 4/6/8 and for each RAM that you flip on damage you flip again. If you flip low damage you can cheat the damage with a low ram and you get to flip another card. Her defense is average but her Cb is in the top even among masters. Also a fast fighter. Ronin are of course very synergestic with Viktoria, but also have the capacity to have a huge defense like biship. The Cb stat is mediocre but any hit you push through ignores armor and recieves a + flip to damage. This is the slowest of the crew but can go nuts across rooftops and up walls utilizing cover and terrain to your advantage. Also the Viktorias themselves have a great Cb (especially with paired) and an above average Df. Let your gun toting Vik lead the way and take fire, once she reaches melee use your actions to buff her (the other one too) and then swap the paired swords into melee. If you saved some soulstones then you're sure to kill almost anything.

I recently went to a tournament at a shop north of where I live. The way they played the tournament is that you declared a faction at the beginning and after you flipped for scenario you then hire your crew from that faction. Are all tournaments played like this or was that a house rule for that particular store? I was under the impression that you had to use the same crew for the duration so I only brought one. Others were swapping to more favorable crews for the scenario flipped. Thanks in advance.

Hello. I have a tournament coming up this Sunday and wanted to get a few rules clarified before I go. I have quite a few questions and any help is appreciated. ----------------------------- Q1: Bite of Winter. Does this +1Dmg affect the Ice Gamin/Golems shatter damage? I've heard mixed things such as it affects OTHER shatters in the aura but not the models own shatter when it dies. Please clarify. Q2: Does bite of winter add to Rasputina's blast damage from december's curse? My last tournament the judge said no because Bite of winter reads: "Modesl with Frozen Heart inflict +1 Dg on 'TARGETS' without Armor until the Start Closing Phase." He said since the person under the blast isn't the actual "TARGET" that the +1 Dg does not apply, only to the person initially hit by the spell. Q3: Say I make Ice pillars with Tina or the Essence of Power. Can Tina target the Ice Pilars with December's Curse and still get blast markers? The Ice Pillar is breakable terrain that can be attacked and is automatically hit (assuming you successfully cast the spell), and the damage flips are straight flips. This says to me that as long as the ice pillar is in range and I successfully cast the spell I can damage it and cheat to severe since it's a straight flip in order to place blast markers on nearby models. Q4: Freeze over. Can this target any type of terrain or is it a specific type? Does it target buildings/walls/ruins AND forests/water/swamps OR is it just one of the categories? Q5: Say I target something with december's curse and kill it but I trigger overpower. Does the overpower not go off because the initial target is dead or do the people hit by a blast marker become the new target? Overpower does say "after damaging DEFENDER with a spell, immediately cast the same spell targeting the defender" which seems to answer my own question but I want to be completely certain. Q6: December's Touch. I read in a different thread that armor from different sources stack. Eg: Ice Gamin has Armor 1 and Rasputina casts December's Touch on him. Instead of becoming Armor 2 as the spell suggests the Armor 2 stacks with his Armor 1 for a total of Armor 3 since they are from different sources. Is this statement correct? Q7: Frozen Heart "This model ignores Morale Duels". Does this only affect Terrifying or is it also applied to WP checks to shoot into melee? Does it have any effect on WP duels? Q8: Does multiple bite of winter stack. Say my Ice Golem is in melee. He has up his bite of winter and my Ice Gamin also has up bite of winter and the Golem is in the Aura. If it is true that armor stacks from different sources, then would these two buffs also stack since one is Bite of Winter (Ice Golem) and the other is Bite of Winter (Ice Gamin)?

Ice Pillars are Ht 3.

Molemen are pretty good at Morale duels also, especially with Marcus. My last opponent was Seamus and his hooker crew, it took him 2-3 failed "Lure" casts to realise the moleman has WP:7. Marcus can also buff their WP by three with (1)Howl. Seems like it would be a good combo against Pandora and other WP attacking crews.

I was having this same problem as my gaming friend abuses the corpse tokens. The december crew is pretty good against him as both the Acolyte and the Wendigo eat corpse tokens. Your Ice Golem and Ice Gamin won't leave him tokens since they're constructs so you start to limit his options.

Ok, this came up in a game I play tonight. My opponent was using Killjoy and had only 1 wound remaining. He charges into my Ice Gamin which has "Shatter 2" and deals enough damage to kill it. What order do the effects happen? Does Killjoy heal to full from "(0)Eat your fill" and then take 2 damage from shatter? Or does Shatter deal him 2 damage before "(0)Eat your fill" can be activated? I believe the latter would happen as "(0)Eat your fill" is a zero action that would require the model to be alive.
