Man, you guys should make those GenCon-only models available for us who live far far away too

I'd take notes from http://www.forwardkommander.com have them sorted by name, for easiest finding, and grey them out, or completely remove them (like iBodger does) when you can't pay for them.

And you're right Ratty.

Unless I missed something, people miss 1 AP on the Shaman, who must walk and pick up those Corpse Counters.

I don't think there's any difference between "Join" and "Hire" here.

He's only asking about Scraps.

This thread has the Leveticus information you are looking for. You do need to pay attention to Special Forces, since he has members available to him from 4 of them, and he can only hire from one at a time.

Edit: Check post #30 in this post. I've linked to the list I've created of the models available for Hamelin the Plagued.

Here is the list of all the models Hamelin the Plagued can hire in a one master game. Do note, a Piglet is probably useless, since it'll Stampede 100% of the time, due to no gremlins.

The only issue would be, if she didn't have the capacity to use soulstones till now, why would she begin now?

Unless the answer is "game balance".

Dust Storm is still not listed as Spirit, would love knowing if it's still something that slipped through - not that Kirai can hire it, but well, it'd make those 3 WDs much more palatable.

I have the second printing book, they're listed as Insignificant, Soulless.

I have a list with 80% of the models Hamelin the Plagued can hire, when I finish the last 20% I'll put it here.

Don't forget that Performer and Mannequin cost 2 extra when taken as mercenaries, but Desperate Mercenary costs 2 no matter who hires him.

Stolen is also not a Spirit; Jack Daw is.

There are also other models with Knock Aside, you know. Also, compare it to Push Aside which is defender, but doesn't allow the free charge.

I think the Rasputina versus mobile teams will become more interesting, especially in larger games, with Snow Storm?

Two Foul Weathers, a Form Ice, and December's Command really add up. And the only one requiring a flip is December's Command, with a 3 or higher... It won't help much with "Catching" or splitting, but it'd help get the whole crew up-field. Of course, it'd make Jack probably very happy.

Hm. Seems to me you must keep a 4 of crow or higher in your hand for the Ikiryo second turn, or finagle the order of activation with Jack, because it's otherwise nearly impossible to both keep Kirai out of his aura of no cheating and swirl the Ikiryo into place.

Unless you come from the side, then it's not over 13" from one side of the aura to the other, and more like 8.5".

Anyway, I'm a bit worried about my ability to gauge an inch. An inch to two is rather hard to gauge, as opposed to 6" which is often easier (I'm used to measuring my CTRL and melee ranged in Warmachine/Hordes). Cause you need to keep Rasputina within Jack's range, and if you get the Ikiryo on the other side, with her melee range and 30mm being 1.07", you've got 2.07". The big issue is less that, and more making sure you don't place Jack too far forward so the Ikiryo can't cheat either.

I assume you just sacrifice Seishin and hope for getting them back? My Kirai crew is still in the mail, making its way towards me. It kinda seems like a dedicated assassination crew, or heavily reliant on the summoning to get things done, seeing as most of the crew is insignificant.

And Kirai really needs them crows or SS to get the summoning going off, Ikiryo aside, which further seems to promote this "Assassinate at all costs" mentality?

Ah, for a regular spirit you only need a regular 11 or higher, so 24% of the deck.

I think I prefer the list with a Hanged or Datsue-Ba or The Hanged, something else to begin on the board.

Last point, I see people constantly talking about Lost Soul turning something into a spirit first turn of the game. Seeing as the deck has 54 cards, 4 of which can make it happen, and assuming you use Channel (because it doesn't really need to advance), and you having an extra card in hand from Jack Daw, you've got 52% to make it happen.

If you use Absorb Spirits once, you're up to 61%, and if you use it twice, then 68%.

I guess it depends on if you sacrifice spirits for extra cards, otherwise while not a bad chance, I wouldn't want to rely on it happening first turn as the lynchpin of my strategy.

Chances over two turns are of course better, and also rely on the number of cards you throw.

Do want! Do want!

Anyone got photos of those Puppet Wars models?

Well, it says the Player discards the Soulstone, not the model? And it doesn't have the "No Use Soulstone, no go" quantifier, so maybe it's intentional?

Does a model have LoS to itself? So the Governor's Proxy, if killed, is effectively WP 8 for its "death-curse"?

He ate so much, now he needs to rest!

Gluttony in Fullmetal Alchemist sure is lazy (Proud manga reader, ha!)

The first time I've seen Killjoy, I thought of this model.

Helldorado is getting rebooted as we speak, so wait a month or two and you'll be able to get this figure on eBay.

Seems it's the Damned One of Sloth, coming in the Demons starter * 2 (so both versions)?

In some places it's already February 2nd!

I noticed the grammar as well. I sometimes dabble in editing RPG documents, so Karn, feel free to send the tactica to me if you want me to go over spelling/grammar of it all (But some patience would be good, those are long!)

Unless stated otherwise, effects last till the (end?) closing phase.

Maybe he really had to go to the toilet, or whatever? I have had times in my life where I had to pace, like, so bad, that I couldn't watch a TV show without pacing back and forth across the living room.

I'd say not letting someone "stop playing" is bad behaviour, in ways that go beyond "sportsmanship". Even if the other side were poor sportsmen, which is not relevant.

Why kill him? If you leave him with just Leveticus and Insignificant Hollow Waifs, he'll have a hard time accomplishing strategies, no?
