UM AWESOOOME like really i can only dream of Raspy avatar murders you in melee. Thank you goblyn I shall love you forever if you could get a larger pic of that.

Lets be honest wouldn't everyone have been a bit happier if we had the chance to see a Raspy and Colette Avatar in wallpaper form at least they would have been better looking then Seamus.

Most People rip on Marcus who I have recently picked up because I like the beasts and you just have to play him as a pack leader to do the best with him. He is all about hitting a running I mean he is really fast can hit just fine when you want him to. I will say from what I have seen I think that Ramos is actually worse them him but I personally don't like Ramos. I saw someone say som'er teeth ya play against someone who knows how to play and when you never have a control hand and all of his minions just destroy you its a different story. As for the original opp I do not believe that there is a non-competitive Master out there. Yes some are better then other Pandora, The Dreamer, Collette and others you can put in. But the "Bad" masters I have enjoyed playing with Marcus and any of the non-power masters. In short I think there are no Necrons in this game.

Well since one of these threads came up I figure I will put my 2 cents into Debate. Issue 1: The price increase, They happen a public company has shareholders and employees they have to look out for and pay as well as material costs and overhead as well as a myriad of other reasons they needed to raise prices. My take is well that life and happens I have not problem with this I know they have done it every year for the past 3 years but well sales are down 10% for them so one way to make up the cost is cut back and raise prices and they are doing both. Issue 2/3: New program region locking sales so that if you are in one region you cannot sell to another. At its heart this is not a bad thing and can be argued can be good for the hobby as you keep it close to home. This is only a problem because GW refuses to realizes that many countries have become more stable and there currencies now compete better vs the Euro, Pound and Dollar. In Australia you pay roughly 70% more for GW product then you do in the US. This is the problem that needs to be looked at because it will drive away gamers in those countries. This was mitigated before because they could buy from the US and pay shipping and sill be 30-50% less then buying from local stores. It will not effect my purchases because I have not played GW in a long time I have been PP and Wyrd for the past year exclusively. Those in the US who are outraged at the price will keep playing as always those like myself who think that price gouging Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South America is wrong won't go back to them any time soon. Wyrd I think is taking advantage of the situation by being out there with an inexpensive product with a great rules system and top notch models. If another book comes out at Gen-Con as we all expect they will continue to ride an upswing. I will be interested to see if this does change the gaming culture and what it does to GW, if it further throws PP into more growing pains as the number 2 in the industry who is having growing pains trying to keep up with demand and expanding there line and game. I will also be interested to see if Wyrd will have to expand and move again as they seem to be the fastest up and comer recently over Infinity and Distopian Wars. I wish all the companies good luck as I love the hobby and am sure Wyrd will continue to do well with there innovation.

Hey I am out of the Charlotte area and I know the Charlotte Henchmen quite well if you want some teaching games at your store I am sure we could try and set up a day to come up or something. Its a bit of a hike but getting new people in is a good thing to do.

The Arcanists are all different. The are a conglomeration of different styles. You have summoning, spell slinging, melee, and speed. Plus all casting is 7 or better in the masters. I think the one trait is Versatile because everything can do multiple tasks. Colette Speed, Survivabilty and tricksy. Ramos Summoner, spell slinger Raspy Spell Slinger, Board Control Marcus Melee, Buffer, De-buffer, speed

For me I don't think of what they can do for each other but what they can do for the rest of your crew. Some of my favorite combos are as follows -Fast or 1 action charging Young's with a Damage output of 4/6/7 because of auto-flay. -Lilitu casting lure automatically getting doubletake so you have to block it to stop it and it it is casting 8. -Matures with 1 action charges just charge/kill/charge/wound/attack/kill. Rip in half then and everyone within 6 inches of Nekima is at -2WP. -Terror Tots eithor being able to sprint 15inches with flight or Terror tots with damage output 3/5/6 Auto-Flay is just wrong it really is. Those are just a few of my ideas, I think that Nekima for as big and scary in melee she is she is my 2nd wave because what she does for the rest of the crew is just to good to have a master easily kill her. Personal opinion.

My meaning is he gets more blood counters then everyone else as I play so when I want matures I always have 2 counters on him for lots of reasons so thats who I pull from. Sometimes its Lilith if she goes crazy and gets tons of kills.

Yes this is sadly how it is it just means that getting to young is easy getting to Mature is hard or takes a bit more thinking. It doesn't matter for a grow list anyways because all the blood for matures goes on the Black Blood Shaman so you just pull off him.

I personally like this song I have no clue why I know its corny and hilarious so I don't mind it.

Oddball fun question what if the spirit gets thrown into the Illusionary forest shouldn't it take full damage fluff wise. I know it doesn't because Nekima is doing the damage.

With all of the masters I play there is very distinct rhythms of when I play. I find every mast different like collette is very short stabs and long lulls very staccato where Rasputina is all about raining death turns 2-3-4 and then running for her life 4-5-6. It definitely matters what master you bring to what the flow of the game feels like. Warmachine has a different flow because you are always going towards each other so you know battle will ramp up the more turns you get Malifaux the pace will rise and fall as impotent small battles happen.

The led is actually really stable I don't think there will be a problem there if you take care of her I mean if she gets dropped or sat on or mistreated it could break. It is a great model its just you have to figure out how you are going to put her together right then used some greenstuff and for me bend the wings(very scared of doing this but I have a look I want). Great Sculpt whoever did it. Only thing I would do different is pose on the sword that other arm is a bit of a b*tch

Ya I think desperate mercs would put into the game to be what people are using them for and this is blood, corpse and bodyparts, I mean 2 wounds with comes cheap you have to know what they were thinking. I am actually happy they changed the BBS's and Nekima so that only 1 gets a blood counter instead of all that would have been insane I mean 3 mature and a young from terror tots turn 1. With that change I have no problem with taking the mercs. As with that last list I think both BBS's would take the 4 wounds to gain a first blood counter then hope one heals the other and Lilitu heals the 2nd. The hardest part would be to have enough blood to get those terror tots to youngs and have enough for the BBS's.

That list is the same as the one I just rant but instead of 2 young and I took a mature and the 2 more stones its just a matter of preference. Ya I want to try some grow list cause I don't proxy models so I haven't had the chance to yet. I also much prefure the Primordial magic to the cherub I am taking it for the extra card and thats all. Lilith -Pimordial-2 2xBBS - 12 Twins - 14 2xTerror tots -6 Some growth here but a lot of magic for lilith.

Other Day I ran Lilith -primordial lelu lilitu mature 2x terror tots 7stones Looking to run lilith -primordial Magic Nekima BBS 3 terror tots 2 Desperate Mercs 5 stones Crazy list Lilith -primordial magic Nekima 5 terror tots 2 desperates merc 5 stones

The black blood shaman is a much better looking model in person there is so much to do with it. Nekima is great she is just a pain in the rear end to put together with the wings if you want to have fun and bend the wings to how you want them. And the arm Sword hook up so it is definitely a challenge model but I love the challenge. As for the rule changes I think they are all worth while, and most of them expected by me I don't know about everyone else. Very excited.

To the op I would have to say that being able to run any faction/race would be amazing but if someone runs neverborn be prepared for everyone to try and kill you if they find out. I think the key if you are neverborn is to be someone like candy or lilith who don't show the neverborn side as for the other factions they are all humans so would not be an issue you just have to hide if you do anything crazy.

I have played twice with my Marcus since picking him up and have been very happy with him I am 1-1 but could easily be 2-0. First game was vs Raspy, I had Razorspine, Shikome, Cerberus, moleman, and the Jackolpe. Shikome and Razorspine with hunting partner attacked a golem turn 2 because lightning strike loves hunting partner but he had 2 tomes in his hand so didn't kill the golem then raspy nuked that area and took out both. I ended up alphaing raspy turn 3 but didn't get cards I needed for her to kill everyone on her side of the table and she finished me off when I got some bad cards. It was a good game. 2nd Game was vs. Sonnia in this game I dropped the razorspine for a moleman and I think it was 5points lower game. It was great because I got marcus and the shikome in to mess up with his lines as my tiger and molemen sabotaged and planted evidence. I like his speed and I think they work best hunting in 2 man parties with similar speed with molemen just walking up the back taking late objectives. All in all has been fast and fun but I think he will be a sidebar master for me and not an everyday like my ladies.

I have started up now with Marcus and I feel that using a 0 for a charge is better then feral because you can get a positive twist with eagle to hit with and you get moving while you do it. It works very well vs Rasputina who I did it against but unfortunately my cards for spelling his own models were not great so lost that game.

4x4 would just be to hard for some crews out there and some strategies. Raspy and Ramos would not make it anywhere and it would make ratballs less usefull because of area to run around in.

I think I am going to go with cobblestone bases though the idea for a playing card base would be cool I mean wouldn't look like they are in game but would be cool.

High CB paired weapons. Blasts. If you can target your own models and put blasts on our models it kills bad because most models only have 5-8 wounds and are expensive. The key is run her out of soulstones after that happens everything falls apart very quickly. Mid point ranged models are best also because if you give to juicy a target to disappearing act it can hurt you way to much. Least favorite models to see is the Punk Zombie. Another thing to keep in mind kill the doves they are much more useful then anyone ever gives credit.

The problem with this is that all of Hans' attacks have to go against the same target its under his Custom Sniper Rifle rule. Which can be the biggest problem with Hans I saw which is you have to go after bigger models and can't just snipe little stuff. Also not taking the essence of power is so hard for me for Raspy as she can just well go all raspy on you and kill everything.

Hey everyone I am looking at moving to central IL around the Bloomington Area in the next couple of months and I am trying to figure out if any players are in that area or stores that support the hobby. I am leaving a great store and have been into malifaux for 9-10 months now and would love to continue to play. If you know of a store post or PM me.
