Now now there is no need to dabble in such crude behaviors. I indeed do apologize for the mix up. In fact, seeing as to how you have been a real sport with helping in us finding you, I will not visit you in the night, in fact, I shall not even send an armed retinue. As a show of my appreciation, I will send my pair of attorneys in the morning. :lucius

Mr. Fell: I am hereby noticing you of your impending arrest and detainment by request of the Lord Governor's Secretary, Lucius himself. Lucius dutifully requests that you see him immediately due your rumored "Acts of false instigation" and would like to sort out the matter. Don't worry about stopping in, we make house calls. In Service of the Governor, :lucius

Best response ever XD

Haha good one Murphy. Where I play is the boondocks itself in Virginia so I love playing my redneck gremlins as everybody gets a kick out of it. I was playing a shared claim jump and moved Raphael who after shooting his big honkin' gun, I was like, "Y'all from the bank? I's told to shoot anybody from the bank" It was hysterical

C. Hoffman is actually Magneto

So I got to play a few games at my LGS before I went back to Uni on break. Of all of the things I learned with the LaCroix gremlins is that if you companion Ophelia and Francois, and then give Francois the "Add a ram to his CB" then you can have Francois use his trigger that makes him take a wound to shoot again, and keep doing it until you kill the model that you want dead, and I can assure you that Francois will kill that model. In conjunction with this, use Ophelia's other 0 spell to companion a slop hauler to heal Francois back to full (or at least heal him a little)

Ah correct you are sir, I typed this reply out at 3am and misread the ss cost for Big Papa... I stand corrected

Sandwich I have three words for you: well done sir

I know what you mean, they are 7 ss models who vie for the same high cards as Lucius, although they do prefer the raven/crow suit where Lucius prefers the rams... My list that I made has its own problems just due to the lack of the drill sergeant, and it doesnt have Austringers either... hmm Iono, I think I'll just have to try it out.. It could have a lot of potential to be a very control based band, or it could crash and burn into flames Either way I can't find out until June cause no one at my Uni plays Malifaux

I would have to say that the Reaper Mouslings have to be some of the coolest sculpts that I have seen, they're just so darn cute. Zombie Mice: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/mousling/latest/01512 And the Hero Mice: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/mousling/latest/10033 @imp the French GD painters have always just been astounding, I especially love how they paint metal, without using metallic

Correct thats why I put the Nephilim and Abuela under the 35 SS list...

Im glad that you have the dedication, or should I say the willpower lol, to stay focused on the one master you have. I'm sure that once you get more games under your belt, you will be one of the toughest perdita players out there. So on to the list: You said that you liked the whole "platform" feel to a defensive perdita list, so my question is to you: Why don't you like to run Santiago and Francisco? They are both heavy hitters at range, I believe that they might have a little less range than the witchlings, but they are straight up nasty. Not only at shooting, they can hold the line so to speak when you find those pesky neverborn getting too close to your models. so I believe that if you take this list at 25 ss games: Perdita Santiago -7 Francisco -5 Nino -7 Papa -5 you have a ss cache of 3 (1 left over and then perditas natural 2) this list is pretty nasty, you can use a wide range of tactics as well, most notably is the Ortega Alpha strike. Since they can all activate with Miss Ortega, or activate two at a time if you wish, depending on what situations you find yourself in. If we were to expand the list to 35 ss: Take the same as above but add, Nephilim -2 Abuela -7 Now you have 4 total ss in your cache (if you dont believe me then add it up lol) You said that you employ Perdita to obey Papa a lot, well Abuela can do it as well, so think of even more possibilities that can bring. Abuela can also make a healing flip that brings the rest of the Family models to heal the same amount of wounds. I think if you wanted to add a little support to your list at 35 SS the granny ortega is the way to go. I took out the stalkers because they tend to go boom when they die... If you have your Ortegas all close together then it is easy to just pick off the stalkers. Ryle is a good suppressive fire model, but I don't think that he synergies well with the Ortegas. This is completely my opinion but, Ryle can't be obeyed by Perdita, or get any buffs that the rest of your crew might be able to give him, because he is counted as unfriendly. Again this is all just my two cents, but i really think you should run the whole family adding the totem and the granny when you want to play bigger games. Dont forget that Abuela can potentially make non family members such as Mercs that you might take later, able to companion as family.

Thanks for the quick replies. I was thinking the same thing the lawyers are high cost, but the pain in the ass that they can possibly be is pretty awesome... I was thinking if you take a lot of guild guard and a captain plus the two lawyers that would be pretty model efficient. Say a sample 35 SS engagement Lucius +4 Lawyer -7 Lawyer -7 Captain -7 guild guard (4) -16 This gives you 2 ss left over to help lucius out in a pinch... I would take the guild guards and activate them first, draw out some fire on high priority models, then activate lucius/captain, and save the lawyers for last, hopefully having forced the opponent to use up his hand for other instances. If not the lawyers could indeed be used to drain the opponents hand.. if you think about it they could be used first just to be like, "hey all of this nasty stuff will occur to you if you don't waste most of your hand in the first three or four activations of the game. The two lawyers and one or two of his/her models, depending on initiative. What do you guys think?

I would have to say that I am into Glee.... My gf made me watch it at first but now I go stark raving mad when they don't have a new episode on every tuesday... *looks around* I also am a HUGE fan of the George R. Martin novel series, Song of Ice and Fire... I play the card game, and can't wait for the HBO series to come out. One final thing is that I'm thinking of breaking ties with the outcast faction and picking up collodi and the big Z when he comes out Im a terrible person

When you painted and stripped your gremlins more than twice because they didn't feel "swampy" enough... That or they looked too much like gw goblins in the skin tone

So I was curious as to what to do with the Lawyers when running a lucius crew. As pointed out in some other threads, the lawyers all need high cards to get their spells off, but so does lucius. So is it really worth it to take the Lawyer, or two of them, in in a scrap with Lucius? If so, what would be some good uses for them? Their spells are a lot of fun and are pretty nifty as well as the model being hard to wound 2, but they are 7 soulstone models... What do you guys think?

Collette might have a really high learning curve to play but in all honesty, I think the master with the highest learning curve is most definitely Somer teeth.

@necromorph Thanks a lot for the massive play testing that you are putting up on the forums, saves people like me a lot of trouble when we finally get Hamelin our selves.

It was dark by the time Billy and Boseefus made it to the shanty town of Som’er Teeth Jones. As they made progress through the bayou, Billy saw many other Gremlins that had gotten a visit by the infamous “Skeeters.” What began as a sojourn of two, quickly became the quick, excited pace of a throng that numbered more than Boseefus could count before he got tired of trying. There was one good thing that came from the unexpected beckoning of Som’er; when many Gremlins get together they say quick grudging respects to members of greater renown, and then begin to try and one up each other. From antics such as who can drink the most fungus grog, to who can sing the most songs from memory, the callings of Som’er always became a festival of sorts until it was time for business. Boseefus had begun to play his banjo; it was an instrument that the Gremlins have taken to ever since it was introduced by the humans. Boseefus was known throughout the bayou as the fastest player in all of Malifaux, so when some snot nosed upstart Gremlins challenged him to duel, he couldn’t refuse. Being the recipient, Boseefus chose what songs to play, and at what tempo the songs would be played. So as soon as the gauntlet was thrown, he launched into a reel that you had to run with if you wanted to keep in time with the rhythm. Boseefus had a knack for playing the same song over and over, but he liked to make it faster each time he played. So by the time they turned the bend to the Shanty Boseefus’ hands were dripping blood. The throng as one pushed into the shanty, and as if it were on time, Billy saw the Slop Haulers grab vittles buckets and make way for the new group. “What be on the menu today Jimbo?” Billy asked the Slop Hauler closet to him. The Hauler laughed; his profession had its benefits, eat first and get the best vittles to name a few, but it was also very cutthroat. Every Gremlin in his right mind wants to be a Hauler, so its not too uncommon to hear of one ending up being fed to the Hogs or even ending up in the dinner pots. That was the running gag; all of the Slop Haulers are called “Jimbo” for a few reasons: they don’t last long enough to have people remember their real names, and because they eat so much of the best food they all get pretty round and look the same. “I reck’n‘s the same as always, but today wes got some squid to add to the meal.” Billy looked surprised, “Well if that isn’t a feast for kings? What be the causation for such a surprise?” The Hauler looked back and forth, “Word on the docks are that we be goin on a raid. What do you have to worry for? Ol’ Som’er ‘ll take care o’ ya.” With a loud guffaw he turned and walked away. Billy and Boseefus got away from the trough with handfuls of Slop. As they made their way towards the “Meetin Place” they neared the famous War Pig pens. They hopped up on the fence and looked right into the face of one of the massive brutes. It was almost the size of Billy’s house; you could fit close to five gremlins on top of the old hog. Billy let out a long whistle, “What do you make o’ this un, Bo?” Boseefus didn’t say a word, he was looking the hog right in the eye, and then he leaned over and patted it on the head and gave it his share of Slop. Billy shook his head, it was too bad that they didn’t have enough hogs for Boseefus to be a true Hog whisperer. He’d gone through the training but just didn’t have enough pigs to work with them. Besides none would be the size of this monster, in their lifetimes at least. Billy pulled on Boseefus’ shoulder to break him from the trance, and then motioned for them to get moving. Boseefus looked back at the massive pens and sighed then moved along with Billy. The two made it to the huge makeshift stage that Som’er loved to stand on and wave that huge gun of his around. While they waited, Boseefus pulled out his banjo and played a few tunes. The sound of the Skeeters droning above them almost put Billy asleep until he noticed that the stage’s area around it had almost filled up with pushing and shoving Gremlins. All of a sudden, the stage opened and out waddled Som’er Teeth Jones himself, he wore a worn top hat with a lot of buttons fixed on, as well as a coat and trousers; at his side was his famous blunderbuss. As he raised his arms the immense Gremlin mob went berserk, some cheering on the legend amongst their kind, some angry at new strong arm policies that Som’er had enacted for a cut of their profits, and of course, some yelled just so they could be the loudest of them all. “Mah friends,” Som’er started, “it seems as though we have been hoodwinked!” The crowd became silent, “Those damn humans are pushin deeper an’ deeper into our turf!” Som’er looked around, amidst the crowd, Gremlins of all shapes and sizes could be seen nodding their heads in approval or shaking them in disbelief. “Not only have they kicked us ‘ns outta their towns, but now they start to bring their patrols farther into our bayou month after stinkin’ month! Is this right?” The crowd roared in disapproval, Billy shook his head. There was a reason that Som’er was the boss in this neck o’ the bayou. Not only was he the biggest Gremlin around, standing two heads taller than Billy, but he also had a way of getting the Gremlins that follow him into a huge righteous rage everytime he wanted to go on a new “excursion” into the human lands. Billy reckoned that there was something that Som’er was putting in the Slop to make everyone act this way every time there was a speech given. There was a loud hush from the crowd and Billy looked to see that Som’er had gone on to pull out a bright green, glowing stone. “This ‘ere is what the humans call a Soulstone, and it is what them humans are using to get the better hand o’ us Gremlins every time. Well no more says I! I says we go in and take a Soulstone mine for ourselves!” Som’er Teeth’s voice was at fervor now, he was shouting with all of his might in an effort to reel in the crowd like an angler would with a prize catch. “If we take these Soulstones, if we take what is rightfully ours, something that has been in the soil of Malifaux since the beginning, and who was ‘ere first, the Gremlin or the Human?” The crowd was in an uproar, Billy looked up and saw that Som’er had finished speaking and was admiring the handiwork of his words and their effect on the gathered Gremlins. It took all of a few minutes before a fistfight broke out amongst some of the more ruffian members of the group. Before he knew what was going on, Billy was knee deep in the fighting, swinging a hook here and ducking under a not so well timed kick there. Billy saw Boseefus swinging his banjo around like a makeshift club; oblivious to the damage it caused his prized instrument. The fighting raged on for a good ten minutes before a loud pistol crack was heard. A loud voice was heard after the gun shot, “What is goin’ on here? I didn’t travel all the way to watch a bunch of no good, hog walloping Gremlins beat the snot out of each other.” The voice came from a Gremlin that billy wasn’t familiar with, it had a very thick Cajun accent, and it was female.

EDIT: made new thread with the next section of the story

to the OP be really careful when facing the Ophelia Gremlin Kin. They have an alpha strike that is just as good as the ortegas but the Pere bombing tactics are almost built for destroying Kirai

Haha thanks I appreciate it, umm idk itll be a long series I think maybe every other day? PS comments and criticism are welcome also I will just be posting more lengths of the fluff as replies, Im not going to have a huge OP haha

The sun beat down through the willows and the sycamores around the Bayou. “It would have been a lot cooler if it weren’t for all of the stagnant water down ‘ere. Way I hears it the water evaporates into the air and creates a sticky, nasty, heat that stays with you like stink on a hog. Well sure, its daggone hot here, but hey, its home and ‘sides; there ain’t been one dull moment ‘ere since I came back from that border town… Whassit’s name again… Boseefus, what’s them humans call that town again? Oh yeah, San Nuevo. What? You don’ believe that me an Boseefus here lived amongst your kind? Shoot, it was easy. -Oh yes how could I have forgotten me manners, name is Billy. Billy Ray Bishop.- Anyway, me an Boseefus were traders in that there town fer... I dunno a few years ‘till we got run out by them damn Ortegas. Hell yes we were traders, that’s why yer ‘ere ain’t chya? Billy Bo’s gator hides… Best in Malifaux, Boseefus! Go an’ get this feller here a hide. Now you go along with ol’ Boseefus. Trust me, its alright, he don’ bite no more... After he lost his teeth.” Billy let out a wicked chuckle as the human walked hesitantly towards the little shed out in the back of Billy’s yard. It wasn’t a bad place; the gremlins had chosen a nice area to set up their little home. Billy looked out after Boseefus and the obviously scared human. Overlooking the porch, was a wide backyard that stretched a good fifty feet until it hit the edge of the swamp. Willow trees and dogwoods hung around all over, with the trail leading deeper in the swamp snaking around just out of view. He thought about their little business, selling gator skins to the humans who had finally gotten used to the two gremlins. Billy let out a dark chuckle; it wasn’t easy getting the people to like sharing space with a couple of gremlins from the bayou. Then after all of that hard work, that prissy raven haired putain had to evict us. Boseefus let out a loud “YEEHEEHEE” that startled Billy back into the present. It seems as though the human had somehow landed in the swamp. Billy ran over to the edge and peered in to see what was going on. “Help me!” Demanded the human, who was struggling to stay above the murky waters as he flailed about incessantly. Boseefus guffawed, “Boy, I reckon you gonna waste all that there energy hoopin’ an hollerin’ like that. Youse gots to stay afloat.” As the human began to calm down, Billy turned around to get a stick to help get the human out of the mire. A lazy buzzing sound was heard from far off, but was getting closer by the minute. Through a clearing in the canopy, a large mosquito came buzzing around the beleaguered human and the two gremlins. It circled, and circled until it descended upon the human, who began to scream as the mosquito lowered its proboscis and began to drink the human’s blood. At first the human screamed, but after a little while, the screams turned into moans, then there was an eerie silence as the mosquito jerked up its head and twitched a little. After a few minutes of shock Billy looked to Boseefus and sighed, “Reckon ol’ Som’er be wantin’ to see us huh?” Boseefus came out from behind Billy, he had somehow ran behind him as the giant mosquito began to circle. It took Boseefus a minute to get his voice back; it was never easy watching Som’er Teeth Jones’ pets eat their fill. “Y-Y-Yeah I s’pose so.” “Whatchya standin’ around ‘ere for?” Billy snapped, “We gotta get goin. Shoot, what are we gonna do with the body? There be guild patrols around these parts, we can’t have it layin’ ‘ere for all to see.” This time it was Boseefus’ turn to grin. He laughed and let out a loud, “SOOOOOEEEEEYYYY”

Thanks for the quick reply Cornelious, i just have a few follow up questions for you, what do you mean by 80% coverage of the paint? Also when you say wash goblin green do you mean take the paint and thin it with water then put that on the mini? Thanks and sorry for all of the questions FrereSebastian
