Alright, so I got a glance in a friends Twisted Fates, and I think I might have found something fun to expand my Sonnia crew with. I mostly go for athmosphere, but naturally, I like finding stuff that works while being 'fluffy' (urgh, that word :/ ) So, I've read tacticas and all the aSonnia thread I could find, and have arrived at a first draft of a list that I would love for you guys to critique (preferably constructive ) Guild Crew - 35 - Scrap Sonnia Criid -- 7 Pool + Sonnia, Avatar of Conflagration [2ss] Governor's Proxy [2ss] Fire Gamin [4ss] Fire Gamin [4ss] Guild Hound [3ss] Guild Hound [3ss] Witchling Handler [7ss] Witchling Stalker [4ss] Witchling Stalker [4ss] So, I can understand that the Guild Hounds are quite useful with Sonnia for placing blasts where you want them, and since they're so fast, they might help me out in the first turn to grab objectives. Also they can bury counters if I really need it. The Handler and Stalkers maybe explain themselves, and the Guv'ners Proxy is there to help me pass some of the inevitable WP duels that will occur. The Fire Gamin seem pretty good at passing out Burning counters, which could become fun when Sonnia manifests her avatar. As for the avatar, I think that the requirements should be "easy" to get, so that I can manifest before getting swamped by my opponent. Any thoughts? Preferably other thoughts than "pedestrian", "boring" or "cookie-cutter" Thank you!

Aaah, that makes sense. Thanks!

I'm pretty new to Malifaux, so just so I'm not left wondering: how is HtW a double edged sword?

That makes sense, Magicpockets. Really mean and nasty sense! I do have an inkling of the issues with interactions and activation sequence, but I'm sure I can figure it out

Really? Just so I understand this correctly; The Tots work well because it's really easy to mature them without any real downside since rats will just come back, right? But what makes Sorrows work? They do cause some wounds when enemy models fail wp duels, which is good for instance when someone fails against Ruffin or Harmless, but is that it?

That sounds fun Thanks, Timelapse!

Uh, really? I haven't seen his avatar, other than on pullmyfinger, so that does sound promising :-)

Hi all! I've been lurking for a long time, but recently I have been looking more and more at my Malifaux minis and really want to go back through the Breach. I have a bunch of Guild, but I have a thing for disease-factions (Nurgle and the like springs to mind), so I want to return to Malifaux with Hamelin. Now, I've read up on Hamelin on these forums, and on pullmyfinger, and it seems that the rat swarm that Hamelin immediately encourages one to field quickly gets boring for both ones opponent, and one self. But on the other hand, I'm getting into that whole thing for the disease, so I don't want to do away with the rats completely. So it seems that Canine Remains is a good substitution for some of the rodents, and I built a 30SS list that appeals to me, but I'm unsure of whether it will work or will just tank...? I understand that Hamelin is not the most forgiving of masters for a (re-)starter, but I'm up for the challenge If you would be so kind as to give me some hint, pointers, advice (or just your everliving scorn ) on this, probably trite cookie-cutter, list! Thank you Outcasts Crew - 30 - Scrap Hamelin the Plagued -- 5 Pool Obedient Wretch [2ss] Canine Remains [2ss] Canine Remains [2ss] Malifaux Rat [2ss] Malifaux Rat [2ss] Nix, the Bull Terrier [7ss] Rat Catcher [5ss] The Stolen [3ss]

Yeah, my bad. It's 8x12 squares

Pierre wrote on the facebook page that the board is 60x90 cm and divided into 8x8 squares.

Right now: Down in a Hole by Alice in Chains ... not that I am, really, but it's a friggin' great song.

Looks like tar to me ... which is actually pretty cool, because that's more or less how I imagine how Hamelin the Plagued affects the environment around him.

Thank you for your input! I still can't decide whether to just get a standalone Lucius crew with all those Guardsmen, or whether to use Guardsmen with Sonnia. I'll probably end up having an aneurysm and get a whole other crew with Lucius just to push the theme as hard as I can! wrt. the Totem I think I'll probably go for the Purifying Flame, mostly because it's more thematic, and I love painting fire. Thanks again!

Hi all! I've been on a long hiatus and have picked up the Guild truncheon once more. Looking in the books, I was checking out the Guild Guard Captain and the Guild Guards to go with Sonnia, but I can't figure out if it's a good match. Thematically it could work out nicely, but I'm doubtful that either a lone Capt., or grouped with two Guards, would be worth anything. I currently own Sonnia, Samael, three Stalkers, Executioner and three Guild Hounds (The old Rackham Molosser hounds). Do you guys think that a Guild Guard Captain and two Guild Guards would be a worthwhile addition, or should I go for something else? Additional: Which totem would you suggest for Sonnia? I seem to recall that the common advice is to get the Guvernors Proxy, but is the Purifying Flame really that bad?

The Trading Forum is right here.

Privateer Press had to rule on the subject after a question of "if two models were in b2b contact and one is pushed/moved/whatever X inches, is it still within X inches of the other model after being pushed" sparked off furious never-ending arguments (more like straight up nerd-fights, actually, but... you know). It's even written into the Mk2 rules, just to be in the safe side. And even now it still crops up... *stifles the bubbling rant about the PP rules forum* Is what I too would suggest in this case.

Thank you everyone And good luck to everyone with their resolutions! Keeping promises to yourself is hard, especially if the "only" objective is to better yourself

Hm. 1) Finish my thesis 2) Keep up my training regimen, and up the ante; I'm hoping to drop my body fat percentage to around 13-14% (maybe lower, if possible). 3) Try to find that special someone :

That really is pathetic. I guess you lucked out that one of the cheaters is such a leprous retard that he forgot that he was cheating, and played two of the same card. What a muppet! Good riddance to bad rubbish, but terrible that you guys should have to experience this.

Looking good!

Merry christmas everyone! And a fantastic new year!

I can't make any good arguments based in the game, but I'd go with the Freikorps because the minis are much better than the Ortegas, and their fluff is better as well.

wooo-ee! I guess I have until February to get both my Guild and Neverborn crews painted so I can justify buying Hamelin

Wow, that really sounds like it will make for a fun game ...

Hopefully a better index, indeed! Wyrd could really up it, if they were to take a leaf out of Privateer Press' book and do an index as detailed as the ones in Prime and Primal.
