  1. This has been bugging me, but I remember when I FIRST started getting into malifaux a local Pandora player was complaining about a "Link cuddle"; there was even a thread about sorrow's being useless because of said "cuddle" I have the third printing of the core rulebook so it a good chunk of the Errata, so I checked the Errata itself and Link, and the Sorrows are totally absent, [[aside from the Sorrows can't syphon something that mentions anything by name]] so I have to ask... What did Link Originally do? [[Also a our Raspy player recently started complaining about link and Essence of Power too lol]]
  2. Honestly I don't see her point, every time I've brought her to the field all she did was absorb bullets. BUT I do run with the box and have yet to build off of it so that might be why. The opponent believes that killing the SPA's is a pointless task because I bring them back, the same philosophy with why they don't kill levi. Normally she's either too far away to give me the cards, or she's off doing her own thing. Twice I played Perdita and twice she was the first to fall. Second round though I took the win because of Caustic Aura. Which brings me to the point, if you lose Alyce and instead take More SPA's the caustic aura is awesome if you can spam it, it's how I killed Two Death Marshals, and the Judge the second game. And with Ashes and Dust coming out soon, I don't see Alyce's point. BUT both games I played were against Perdita so that probably has something to do with it. seeing as she can kill a fly from a football field away lol
  3. I think/hope it's going to be in the Errata, I mean looking back on it, the Guild Guard themselves were once Unique, Family. Then they took it away and said they were Guardsman, same with Austringers. So I think this is probably a) a typo, or they didn't expect the guild the rise up and demand the Guardsman characteristic lol here's hoping guild mates!
  4. that is an Amazing paint job, and now I'm torn lol, I'm trying to think of a single color scheme to run through my entire guild army. It's either going to be Red/Yellow [[KGB Russian theme]] or White/Black [[the color of death]] and seeing the Judge in that red coat made me think hard as to what kind of color scheme I want to paint for my guys ya know? but then again, those white death marshals are bad ass too lol
  5. to get the most rape for the least ammount of effort go to three models when playing Sonnia Samael, Exacutioner, and Witchlings if your opponents have high cast Sammy will tear them to pieces, easy. I'm talking hot knife through wet paper easy. Keep him at a distance though he's bad ass in melee but works best at range. Also he's kind of fragile so don't go too crazy leaving his ass in the wind or anything like that. Exy, Fatty as many call him. Also bad ass, will tear a whole in anything and after he kills something with the claws he fully heals himself. Causes alot of pain and alot of awesome, not as cool as Sammy, he's also fragile, you want him near Sonnia most of the time, as back up. Witchlings, your bread and butter. Stop spells, bad ass in melee combat, explode when they die. [[beware a chain reaction, loose one witch, you might loose them all]] they can also dispel effects such as: slow, paralyze, poison, things like that. Cheap easy and effective. Interchangeable with Death Marshals. Marshals are more shooty, they have a decent melee combat and are ALOT more durable but can't stop magic or dispel things. but can up the damage done by all death marshals. Austringers, if you feel like a dick. take two of them and every turn double attack with both at range 18 inches at combat 7. Sure damage sucks but seriously we're being a nuisance, so it doesn't matter. Sonnia herself, use flame wall to your advantage, always come with At Least Seven Soulstones, you'll need them bad. Flame Burst should be considered her primary ranged attack. She's not a slouch in melee but it's preferred you keep her away from sharp pointy objects. Don't be afraid to abuse the hell out of Violation of Magic as it will bring you more Witches and that's always a plus. And if you ever feel as though all hope is lost and she's going to die. Turning her into a Time Bomb is always fun, use Inferno and the opponent will be very hesitant to finish her off. Also don't be afraid to use counterspell, you have a 3" NO SPELL ZONE around sonnia, abuse it. It'll save your life, but it might empty your hand. Don't let your opponent take advantage of it either, they'll spam spells just to see you counter them and empty your hand. Also, Reflect, if someone tries something on you and you have a high tome, try and resist it and drop the tome. If you successfully resist, the tables are turned and it's as though you casted it on him. Reflected, I trapped Pandora in a nightmare like that once. She ran screaming off the board edge. Your army is slow, alot of things that work well with Sonnia are 4-5" of movement, and it sucks. Abuse the terrain, also if you target something with cast 7 or more you don't need to see them. If your going to a tournament you'll see a model called Karia, she's a bitch. You'll probably see Colette, she too is a bitch. I play casually so I don't like tournaments because of the super competitive feel. You'll see alot of cheesed out armies. Nicodem with nothing but dogs, mortimer and Killjoy. Lady J with... whatever lol. Just know, if you get your face torn off it's because it's a tournament, don't feel bad, it's not your army, fate, or your opponents fault. It's the environment :\ I wish you the best good sir. I hope this helped.
  6. :\ this is like the third thread like this I've seen from you... I don't want to sound insulting but did you go like Combo Hunter the last day or so? lol I mean you found quiet a few of them, and the killjoy one in the Neverborn thread is actually pretty cool lol
  7. So I keep reading and reading the same scheme card over and over again and I still am convinced. Machine Spirit Scheme for C. Hoffman is Impossible! okay so... the only models that are allowed to be in play are Constructs, and the ALL have to be within 2" of you right? I'm confused on the wording here... What I hope it is; "The only models within 2" of C. Hoffman, at the end of the encounter, are Constructs" confirmation on what it means or what they're trying to say?
  8. before you go! I have to remind you! Guild Guard Captains BOTH have Companion, and a Zero Action to allow someone to go after him so in order you can go... Lucius, Captain, Guild Guard, Captain, Guild Guard
  9. Sadly the guys at Wyrd shot down those theories a while back saying that Book Three is not really book three, it's more like, "Book 2.5" they had SO MUCH they wanted to put into book 2 that if they did book 2 would be Warhammer Core Rulebook Size, so they decided to split it up between two books.
  10. I know it's probably WAY TOO EARLY for this, but speculation is always fun, and I love building ideas and sharing theories with people. but in the Guild Sub-Forum there's a thread where a rules marshal said.. Now in retrospec this might sound like nothing but then I noticed. The Outcasts have Two Henchman! Granted Outcasts are mercs and all so Model Distribution to the masters are slim, but still. 4 Masters 1 Henchman, per faction. Except the Outcasts. Now here's my theory, we all know that Most Likely the count will be raised to 4 Masters, 2 Henchman Per Faction, so the new book will have no new henchman for outcasts. So theorized Henchman, personal theory Guild: Fransico Ortega (Never Hunters) Arcanists: Myranda (Primal Fury) Resserectionist: Mortimer (Undying) Neverborn: Candy (Misery) that's my theory, and I kind of want to hear your theories, it doesn't have to be limited to who you think the new henchman should be. This can even be a suggestion thread where we talk about new Bad Ass Models the 3rd Book will have. Another Personal theory, is a Unique Death Marshal, with a Ranged Pine Box! then before the target is burried push this model into base to base contact and burry target model. Just sounds bad ass lol
  11. One other story, Worst Time to Flip the Red! Pandora used self loathing on Lady J... needless to say, the Red Joker made an appearence and Lady J took an exit to the malifaux bag.
  12. Flame Burst with Sonnia, targeting Sybelle. Way back in the day, it was my first game and I had a :-fate twist. I flipped the first card and BAM! Red Joker, I knew he was screwed but two cards later.. the fourth and final card... The Black Joker, the deck was playing guess who with my heart...
  13. what are you talking about? I think the Polteregiest and Primordial Magic both look pretty freakin awesome.
  14. pics or not, I say break out the shampegne! First off, best christmas gift to me from Wyrd will be the Lucius Box Set lol, it's going to be bad ass. Second the ammount of models they're pushing out within a four month time span is incredable. Something Warmachine and Warhammer can't do that's for sure. So pics or not it's time to cellebrate.
  15. no, just because you have ophelia doesn't mean you can hire the Special Forces. Hiring Ophelia means, you hire her. It doesn't allow you to hire her kin, it's a little confusing at first but after a while you'll come to understand it lol, took me a bit to get it.
  16. if you play the Viki's you can't hire the Gremlins, because they are not mercenaries. Due to the fact that the Vikies can only hire mercs they can not hire Gremlins. Also Gremlins are not Mercs the only masters who Can hire them are Levi, Hamelin, Viks, and Somer. but since Hamelin can only hire Souless models he can't hire them since Viks can only hire mercs they can't hire them since Levi can only hire Undead contructs and souless he can't hire them either. BUT! Somer can hire them, because he can only hire Outcast models, and Gremlin. Which all gremlins are both. Ya know?
  17. YOU HAVE MY FULL SUPPORT! I think I plague the guild forum enough so I waited for someone to post this forum, but I say again. PLEASE GIVE THE GUILD HOUND, THE GUARDSMAN CHARACTERISTIC
  18. ^__^ I'd be ridiculously grateful if you posted your findings in the Lucius Tatica I posted +1 retard point for me if that was the implied message lol
  19. See!? I'm not the only one that thinks the Guild's Main Color to be white is a BAD ASS IDEA. Except the Ortega's... I don't think they'll look good in white lol
  20. Lawyers would work to give 3 units a turn Hard to Wound 2, for a discarded card. How much this will help you? I'm not sure. But if you need extra damage I'd go with the guild guard. Also having three SS will relieve some of the pressure on you should they focus fire you. I'd say yes, go for it. Though if you feel really awesome you can take Another Guild Guard Captain, that would be Lucius, and Two Captains activating because of the Companion (Master) which just sounds fun. Theory! Does simultaneous activation mean that Lucius activates first and there for companions and activates at the same time with the guild guard captain, and he uses advance training giving them +2Cb until the end of his activation. Since it's all simultaneous does that mean when the guild guard activate they still have it until the end of everyone's activation? [[don't read too much into it, it's most likely wrong]]
  21. T_T it's so obviously not true, but yet... personifies all my fears lol IE Sonnia leaving the guild. But honestly i think you remember my post about that so now your just making fun of me. lol
  22. tell me your not waiting for the GUILD HORSEMAN! you can't! it's a Lie! I know for a fact that either the Outcasts or the Guild will be getting a horseman, think about it.... 4 main factions 4 horseman of the apocalypse Death- Dead Rider Pestilence- Hooded Rider Famine- Mechanical Rider War- Guild Rider or that's what I think... no one at my Local Game Store shares my enthusiasm of this brilliant idea though lol so I come to the forums.
  23. So is this a good list? For 35SS? Take note that I've only played Levi about three times so far so I'm still a noob. Also I kind of suck at making army lists lol Leveticus Collodi - 8 4x Marionettes - 8 3x Wicked Dolls - 9 2x Steam Punk Abominations - 6 Total Soulstone Cost: 31SS, 3 Soulstone Cashe any other suggestions would be awesome, I hate Zorida so I never play her so I might be far off lol
  24. so I played a game with Levi today with a 25SS list including, Levi 2 Steampunks Alyce and 2 Wicked Dolls and I must say, those wicked dolls are amazing, they do what your steam punks can't, which is move fast, and not be insignificant. Now the coolest thing is Murderous. The Punk Zombie slice and dieced me with a 13:masks and killed both but I'm looking forward to using them more. Also I might pick up Collodi ya know?
