If you were allowed to end your movement inside another model, technically you could push until you were directly on top of the other model and then stop, as you'restill "moving towards" whilst you're "inside" the other model's base.

But as soon as you are at that point, you are then moving away, not towards, and since you cannot legally end a move on top of another model, towards ends when you are in base contact, spirit or not.

And the award for most pointless post of the day goes to....

I've asked this before and will dig up the post. Basically they're not public knowledge like melee ranges and can only be checked when they could affect something.

I get the intention but nothing stops you moving 1mm and going "just checking if it affects my model", moving 1mm and going "just checking if it affects my model"

And make sure to click "thanks" - I got better things to do than teach you how to play Malifaux... :ninja:

let's revise my quote:

One balanced master cannot do everything.

much better

I agree however my favorite is still the dead rider.

I'll be trying him out tonight

No, you take the shortest route. The shortest route is always going to be the front and not the other side.

in Molly's crew its main role will probably be casting Philosophy of Uncertainty' date=' since she can resummon it.[/quote']

It's good for that, but with a :crows from Levi it has an auto poison 3 in combat. That's good for 2ss

Okay, but just to be clear - it has no use at all in a Molly crew?

Also Hamelin would be alot better in the high octain, high stakes world of gaining grounds.

Duly noted....

So the necrotic machine ha s a (0) action to make a living model undead, what was the reason for this?

I get "how" it can be used (i.e. make a living model undead in a Nico crew for bolster undead) but that seems a stretch - how many models in a Molly crew are living? How many in a resser crew (nurse and mercs and...)?

Was this done for a reason or just "becasue"?

Cheers all, MP

make a friendly model ignore terryfiying and nicos buff r the only things i can think of, prob more tho

neither r useful for levi however

Yeah, but how many living models are there in a Molly crew? Or even a Resser crew for that matter - a nurse and... ?

So, played a 30ss game last night and took Levi, 6x Canine Remains (1x for waif and 2x for Sybelle), Molly, Necrotic Machine, 2x Belles. Strat was shared claim jump.

Hard to comment on the game as we were both trying new models and a LOT of mistakes were made, but I've now got some first thoughts on Molly - she's cr*p. Sure the +3wk on Levi is nice, but not 9ss "nice", and being able to summon a Belle with corpse counters in cool but hard to get off as it's suit dependant. Did notice her sacrifice spell works quite well as a slow to die action (that could be fun in slaughter), but aside from that was very unimpressed. For 9ss I'd rather take broken Bette, or even unbroken Bette

A question did come up though - why has the Necrotic machine got an ability which makes a living model undead? I can't see where that's useful.

for me you are having to select to target ryle to be able to move him as in you have to choose for it to effect him i think with a rule like this i would play it more to the character of the model rather than the way that might benifit the controler more. But then thats me.

Target is a game term and is deliberately used/not used in certain rules to account for interactions like this - it's the same as an insignificant model targeting Hamelin - there are still way around as where the rules don't specify "target". So of course play it how you like, but the rules are pretty clear on how it's meant to be played.

Okay, so I think Jo's post above is fair enough but this seems a bit of a kneejerk reaction. I did miss the other thread evolve but reading it now it seems a bit dramatic, especially as the other rules pack got revised after your feedback.

Good luck with the event and if I can't get a hotel Bristol way on I'll likely come up, but new faces are better than the same faces. Plus you don't want me to beat you all again....

The rulespack will be hosted somewhere proper on friday

email it me Craig and I'll put it in my Dropbox folder todays like I do for Jo

Wow, missed this thread - wtf? I'll likely come down to this rather than the Liverpool event as it'll be a great chance to play new people - just need to check hotels and the like first.

Also, can someone send me the first rules pack so I can chuckle at what caused everyone throw toys out of prams?

For me it's Nix. 7ss for a 3" aura which even affects soulstone flips, a weak damage of 4, some great triggers, 6 wds and spirit, heals when other models lose duels... he's brilliant. But that always gets him a big target painted on his back.

I'd be very surprised if Wyrd didn't revise the bury mechanic some time soon, so it might be best not to rely on it for your Levi crew.

I'm not relying on it, just having fun breaking it. And already noticed the +3wk from Molly to give to Bette and the SS Miner too. And tonight I'll be giving them armour from the Guardian too

Thanks to Maelstrom my latest additions have arrived this morning and will get a game with them tonight against Mike's Guild (probably Hoffbot AGAIN). Not really seen anything amazing here yet (although I've noticed I need lot and lots of crows) but will play them out and see how it goes.

Here's the latest conscriptions (bottom row are duplicate models to what I've already got) -

No. Everyone takes damage simultaneously so there are no Seshin there to take Kirais damage (they die at the same time she takes damage)

she only comes out if a living or undead model is killed if I remember correctly.

Oops! You're so right. My mistake.

Yep the Soulless characteristic prevents it.

Waifs are soulless and undead - that gets Bette out every turn

Just to clarify, waifs are undead so "should" drop counters. But they have a rule which prevents it. (in case anyone is about to ask)

The only time you cannot do this, is if the black joker has been flipped (as this gives a chance for you to deal 0 damage to yourself).

It doesn't matter if the Black Joker has already been flipped. It was ruled ages ago in an awesome post (unless there's been another ruling about Gremlins - I don't read much Gremlin stuff) that what has been flipped doesn't mater. With a full deck there is a "chance" you could fail, and that's all that matters.

Search "Rainman" for the ruling iirc

Also, re models I'm waiting for -

Lazarus

Pale Rider

Wardens (lots of Wardens)

Noup, just spirit, beast and nightmare, sadly

Rubbish

On the other hand you can delete those night terrors. Sadly they are no option for the old man.

I thought they were undead?

I was planning on giving you cash on the day - is that okay? I can PayPal it if you want
