Yeah, that's what we thought, but instance "B" seemed off to us when we were playing, given how little of the sight line passes over the base (in our game it was even less than the example). Concealment is pretty strong this edition.

Follow up question on Concealment. In the given example, who all has concealment? "If a sight line drawn to a model passes through Concealing Terrain, that model has Concealment. When drawing sight lines a model in Concealing Terrain may ignore that terrain’s Concealing trait if any single sight line drawn between the two objects passes through 1" or less of that terrain." If I am reading this correctly, in this example, all models have concealment because a sight line passes through Concealing terrain, and this concealment may not be ignored because the attacking model isn't in the Concealing Terrain. Is this correct?

Just had this come up in a game and came here to read this thread. The big thing with Chosen vs. Desolate Warping is the use of WHEN vs WOULD. WOULD implies that it is a check before the model takes the damage and is reduced to 0 wounds. As in "will this damage kill it?" "if yes, do the following instead". I believe "Chosen" is one of the few if not only abilities that doesn't say "when killed", "when sacrificed", "when reduced to 0 wounds". I could be wrong and just looking too much at the semantics of the grammar choice with my IT logic brain, but that's my two sense, and I hope they make it clear in the FAQ because it is a weird choice of wording on this particular ability.

As a reminder, Wave 5 will be legal for all events except for the Championships.

With only a month left till we kick off this years event. I'd like to welcome you all who will be attending or are considering attending the 2017 Nova Open, the premiere wargaming convention on the East Coast.

The best of the best will be competing there, and you can be part of that. The championship will be held over five rounds over two days. During the rest of the time, we will be continuing the Malifaux narrative campaign, a storyline in its fourth year, written by former Co-Lead for NOVA's Malifaux team, Matt Stanley. In addition to all this, we'll be running all your favorite Gaining Grounds alternative formats like Henchman Hardcore, Enforcer Brawl, and Treacherous Ties.

That's the way we ran it during our game.

This came up in a game last week and I'm curious as to what the proper action is here as it's similar to the situation of Flat vs. Impossible to Wound. Bad Juju has an upgrade that when he is reduced to 0 wounds, he is buried, healed back to full and all conditions are to be removed from him. 9: Mark For Death This Scheme may not start revealed. All non-Peon models in this Crew may target a non-Peon enemy model they are engaged with with a (1) Interact Action to give the target the following Condition for the rest of the game: “Marked: This condition may not be removed or ended.” Reveal this Scheme once an enemy model gains the Marked condition. When an enemy model with the Marked Condition is reduced to 0 Wounds or leaves play, gain 1 VP *note that it does not mention removing the condition after you score. I know in most cases, Model Card takes priority, but we were unsure of how this actually plays out legally as to which trumps which. Thoughts?
