I was thinking using a Sewer base from Wyrd with two or so on a base... I feel it looks a bit crowded but gives the feel I wanted.

Yeah well... welll..... if that makes me look doubly silly!!!

Old McHamelin disregards insignifigant on models in his crew if he's alive why couldn't they hold ground or deliver messages or destory evidence? Am I missing something? Yeah you were referring to a different Master. Gotcha! Who looks silly now? That's right kids I DO!!!!!!

He, just like every other master, requires a specific approach to take down. More complex than some maybe; however people need to realize just because something seems strong looking through the box and knowledge you utilize doesn't mean it is once you remove the view finder to outside of it.

Stolen do die quickly but with obedient wretch, sorrows (impromtpu totems) etc the stolen will get saced fast. Also add in the fact that they fuel your better spells. I understand they cost 1.5 the cost but when yous ac them you get a rat whereas you sac a rat and you get nothing... It comes down to play style but I don't see me purchasing more than 2 rats to begin with. Specifically making something insignfigant and then requiring it to attack hamelin (which is immune to attacks) makes a 12" bubble where that model is infective. The below list is off of memory I will update once I get home and can double check. Most entries are book one related. Please inform me if there's something that needs to be added! Pied Piper here we come! Hamelin, the plagued hirable list Outcast Malifaux rats Nix Rat Catchers (isignifigant noble the 2 ss one) Stolen Obedient Wretch Piglet Malifaux child Neverborn Candy Kade Sorrow Terror Tot's > (through growth young and then mature) Primordial Essence Arcanist Hoarcat Pride Molemen Essence of Power (Totem) Ressurectionist Grave Spirit Canine Remains

I think buying rats to begin with is a mistake Stolen spawn them even when sacrificed, as does the obedient wretch also when you kill, even spirits, rats spawn as long as you have Hamlin or rat catchers around and the rule of equivelency can be followed. Rat Catchers the kill all rats within 6" thing is HUGE. Activation 1 Rat swarm activates and utilizes whatever means it needs to move+ attack something leaving enough room for a 30mm base to fit in. Activation 2 Rat catcher moves through the rats into space you left and activates kill all rats. They all die and are replaced with another rat. Activation 3 Rats that were made after killing the first set all activate and repeat bites ect. This not only makes up for the slow issue but it also buys you a complete new activation. Should you kill your target via bites or any other reason the rat catch is close enough to spawn another rat.

In response to Ratty my current main opponents use Kirai and most of the time the hardest part to handle with her is the ultra fast I choose to be where I want to and do whatever I want to be it completing objectives or brutally punishing a mistake by moving a model too far from the group. It's 100% shadow games that psyches your oponnent out. The only reason I don't get whomped all the the time I think is i'm learning to allow certain losses. It can lead to more of a psychological warfare thing than anything else. Allowing an opponent to see you can choose the location and the odds of a battle alone put them in a defeatist attitude which leads to victory even against a suprior numbered foe.

It's 3 + another card flip for damage. It's indicated on the V2 card (also downloadable!)

I live in Alaska. Irony is buy Tina and the sun coming out and us getting sunny skies and warm weather (it happened for a couple days)

Frankly this is hilarious. I am from Alaska and everytime i'm out of state I get this... Other person, "Where are you from?" Me, "Alaska." Other person, "Ohhh..Myyyyy...Gaaawwwdd... do you know Sarah Palin?" Me, "Yes... I can totally see her from my house!" Other person, -Blank stare.. not quite understanding the joke or that i'm making fun of them." Me, -Walks off FU SARAH, F!U! Everyone thinks we're f'n special needs here in Alaska because of her and that stupid f'n show. Sarah Palin's Alaska. You know what would of made that show awesome? If they showed her house on a coast and you could see Russia and the following drama related to it. THAT, kids, would of been amazing! Sincerely, An angry Alaskan

Dr. McMourning for me! But then again with the access to minions (Mortimer, Sebastion, Molly (henchman)) you have a huge range of things to pick and choose from within the game for rezzing potential. Beyond that I think evil scientist who I can kind of see falling down the path of corruption. It would be the path I would go; you know super into your job and slowly pushing the envelope to new territory. Nico and Seamus are close seconds in that order because of flare.

I would suggest not trying to win the first few games just get used to using actions and protocol to do things. Her low wds is kind of meh till you realize you can actually turn her into a spirit soon as that's done you take half damage from non-spells and non magical weapon attacks. I know the curve is huge but if you like her because she's "cool" stay with her

My opinion or how I see it is each faction will end up with one of the Tyrants within it's group. Hamelin for Plague (Outcasts). Resputina for (December). Molly Squidpiddge relating to the Gorgon's tear and whomever constructed it (Ressers). Etc... I know it's kind of a guess but I can see it happening. I can also see each Tyrant being based off of one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. OR alternatively they (the tyrants) raided earth failing because their powers weren't sustainable in our world and the stories were derived from those raids/invasions. Just food for thought

Hobby oriented evenings; sounds about my life. although i'm not in the area with snow storms the location I am in (Alaska) is dark A LOT and we get a tiny bit of snow too. I started my green stuff model of Molly Squidpidge and her Necrotic Toy. I'm new to greenstuffing so probably will not like it and trash it but I had to try I love that character!

Xango - it's great if you're ever near Anchorage (about as city as the State gets) let me know. I love introducing people to the place. Eric - we had one person swear by the game after he visited Hawaii. After a few demo games up in our local community we have somewhere in the area of 12 players. It doesn't sound like a lot until you realize we practically have 7 months of darkness (not complete just drive to work dark and go home dark) so most people either buy ALL of a given faction or have multiple factions. I don't know if you realize it or not but a good majority of the WM/Hordes players like your game A LOT. I hope one day it is expanded to both competative and then hopefully campaign settings as this would allow for tournies and keep the character driven story element going. It alos leads to fun kit possiblities for selling. Your character is missing an eye? Model it. So you can keep games small and still keep the company running! (sorry about that long butt rant I just really, REALLY enjoy Wyrd. Sozoa - That's far south as indicated I am actually from Anchorage but we have some pretty unique stories that involve bears. Example; one time a neighbor where I live growing up called the police because they thought a woman was screaming in distress or being attacked but they were afraid to go outside. Cops roll out and show up and sure enough it's a Bear MAULING a moose. Just crazy. To all - thanks for the warm welcome and i'm glad I can be part of this community!!!

I can see utilizing punk zombies in a Nicodem list but for McMourning this thing is amazing. If you don't mind me asking what is your brother running for McMourning? (this is mostly me just wondering because maybe he's got a list that beats what I'm using)

I went and bought the books as well and really sunk my teeth into it. Did I find it shocking to realize that graverobbers couldn't search (all) for a corpse token?! Sure but you know what with my LGS I can see everyone running the ressurectionists and taking 8 dogs to simply dig, dig, dig, dig.. did I mention dig? Just to throw down 80 Mindless zombies. Sure it'd be fun to see once or twice but then it'd be the norm. What has impressed me is the fact if I have a rules question it's looked at within the week, if not sooner by the random people here. I think the reason I love this game so much is the community is more about the community then I win, you lose, SUCK IT mentality. Frankly I look forward to a league and tourny play but frankly I hope this game never gets "too big" and forgets the community. I want Malifaux to thrive but in the right direction PS. I don't know why tourny's don't currently make people print out the PDF's. It's all printable. (this is the reason I personally feel okay with all of the changes. It's not like I have to wait weeks for a updated card.)

Welcome to the boards! Lame I know but it's that or send the polar bear after ya!

Of course I mean my generator sometimes goes out but really it's not that bad. If it comes down to it I just have Binky (my polar bear) run around on his hamster wheel and that seems to provide enough juice to keep the lights on and the PC running. Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

You mean Santa DOES exist? Awesome! My area loves Organized play/Tournaments. So like Christmas we're just patiently waiting like good ole' kids hoping we got put on the god kids list! Thanks for the information Zee!

Actually I started with a Ramos crew but the game has caught on a bit like wildfire here. The only faction that really wasn't represented has been the good ole' ressurectionists so once our LGS gets the order I placed in i'll be playing the Ressurectionists faction. I pretty much just ordered everything from the faction except the spirit stuff. Really like McMourning and Molly so i'll probaby be greentstuffing a Molly and running them together.

My knee jerk reaction is this is a great idea and I would love to be a part of it. I don't think utilizing soulstones outright is good given certain factions that can "produce them from thin air" I'm looking at you Collette! I would make it games to earn Scrip which can be used straight up for items ect or to buy soulstones. It becomes quite a complex system to design but it would be fun to do. I agree an injury system is the easiest to impliment if you use "regular" Malifaux. I mean a intrim fix might be to pick a master (who can't be augmented and make the rest a purchase/can be augmented) I would like to process this idea abit more and come back to it after thinking of it for a bit. Really like this idea and was mildy disappointed to see the other posting sort of fizzle out.

Recently I have been jumping around a lot of different games. I love the feel of this one and the background and have been lurking for about 3 months. I have finally decided to sign up and well just get involved. I just wanted to throw a big shout out to the Malifaux crowd and introduce myself. Best wishes from Alaska, -Apokra
