The longer the delay in response the more intrigued I get.
What other possibilities are being considered? Impact on other masters/special forces/dolls/? ?
I play Ramos and Zoraida so the thought/dream/hope of a future special forces doll construct that could be used by both masters gets me excited!

I used to play WHFB & WH40k but it got too expensive. I spend most of my gaming time with Malifaux: Ramos, Zoraida & soon Lillith & Collette.
Too many board games to mention but Arkham Horror is my favorite.
Two newer games I got hooked on are Summoner Wars & Dungeon Run
http://www.plaidhatgames.com/ so I'm spending a fair amount of time with them. Beyond that Xbox 360 for those days I don't go out.

I would definately take old Perdita over new.
The greens of Candy look much better then the pics but still I think it's a disappointment, she just looks like she's raging and there is nothing to tie her to younger Candy.
What's been bothering me is the faces, mainly the women. Alt Sonia Crid, Miss Demeanor, Zoraida avatar, new Candy, and a couple others just do not look proper. The lips don't look natural, the faces too wide. I just hope they put the brakes on at Wyrd and really look at some of the new models and see how they've changed in style.
I get the feeling that the Victorian/Gothic side of Malifaux is moving towards SciFi/Fantasy, I hope I'm wrong on that.

Cookies work better than cheese any day.
In discussion.
And this is something I really appreciate about Wyrd as a whole. No quick off the cuff answers to satisfy questions, you take the time to find out how the answer will effect the game and come to a logical conclusion. I've stopped playing other TT mini games to concentrate on Malifaux for reasons just like this. Many thanks WS!
btw: I just started playing Zoraida and would be fine either way.

It's very nice, but does anyone know why the ram has wings?

Ok you've all given me new ways to look at Repulsive. I was under the assumption it was a last ditch effort to keep her out of HtH but gladly I see I'm wrong. Thanks for the replies and new outlook on Repulsive!

It's Capt Robert (Brown)
Founder/Lead Singer of Abney Park, steampunk band.
There are a lot of songs that tie into Malifaux really well I think. Her Drosselmeyer's Doll, The Secret Life of Dr Calgori, The Clockyard, The Death of the Hero.....
Works great for Ramos (which I play), Leveticus & Collette.

Zoraida's
(1) Repulsive (CC: 10
M/Rst: Wp /Rg: p6) Push all models directly away
from this model until they reach the maximum range of this spell.
To be fair I haven't played her much but from what I've experienced so far not many unfriendly models get very close to her and going by the threads I've seen if they do get that close your probably using her incorrectly. And most any model could still charge/2x walk to get back into melee range at 6" range. JMO, I could be missing something.

Thanks everyone! I will try to do something extra for the basing but I'll give it time and see what ideas I come up with. I agree that basing can really help a models look.
I'll check the YouTube vid at home (blocked at work) and see if I can pull that off. It would be cool to see if I can up the stakes on painting now.
Thanks again all!

I am not a good painter, not very good at all. Some of my best models took days to finish and even then they were just ok. Add to this I haven't really painted anything in 2+ years. A friend (XCoconutMonkey6X) posts a method he is employing for his Kirai crew, says it's pretty easy. I scoff at this statement, nothing concerning a brush & paint is "easy" to me. But not wanting to continue to use bare minis on the table I decide to give it a shot, worst thing happens they come out looking like crap which is the norm for me, but to my amazement they look pretty good. Not great mind you, not much attention to detail, but my thought was to get it done at the lowest level of effort and see what the result is. I have yet to decide how to do the basing but not a major concern for me at this point. My main reason for posting is to give others who are like minded proof that anyone can get a model in tabletop shape with minimal effort & stress.
The method (which I'm sure is well known) is this:
1.Spray white primer over the entire model.
2.Using just the inks from GWs 8 pot set I hit areas with whatever color I thought would work.
Done!
I started out with a light coat and some spots I had to go over a 2nd time but the ink dries quickly so there's not a lot of down time. Time to go from bare metal to this point for all the models was roughly 2 hrs but maybe not even that long. There are obvious mistakes and some color choices (green boots????) weren't the best but considering everything I'm happy witht he results.
So to anyone to thinks they can't paint, yes you can!

Yet another case of my not reading the entire rule clearly.
Nuts, but that's what I thought about Shocking Touch.
Thanks Wodschow!

Searched the forums, couldn't find anything on it.
Would the Dreamer take the damage from Arachnids Self Destruct/Destruction?
The Electrical Creations Shocking Touch, Unstable & Burst?
Dreamers AGiM ability says "damage from ." and none of the above mentioned have the symbol in the description.

I hear if you use a really big font it counts for more votes.. So I think I'll vote for some hard models to make puppets of.
Stitched Together
Wicked Doll
Voodoo Doll
I was also tempted to vote for the Marionette, but there is one in Collodi's picture.
Ditto + not picked for testing!

What about something from Smog? http://www.smartmaxstore.com/
I was thinking of Lord Baron Mantes but there are a couple others that might work better. The line is 1/35th scale but it might work for a SB.

Have you thought of putting in some Abney Park for Music?

I haven't played Hordes in sometime and I just want to concentrate on Malifaux for now. Before I list I want to let you know that none of the models have bases and I checked but there are a few smalls part missing. I had them in a box with other stuff for awhile and cannot find them. Also all models are built but unpainted.

1 Xerxis
1 Titan Gladiator
1 Bronzeback Titan
2 Cyclops Savage
5 Cataphract Cetrati
7 Paingiver Beasthandlers
Swamp Gobber Bellows Crew (2 models)

Please PM me any offers.
Thanks!

Very nice, thanks for posting this match. I have Ramos and Zoraida but have yet to use Z. I forgot that Focus & Channel were available to all models, something I have to remember when I start using Z. I always learn something major or minor from every bat rep!

Collodi & Marionette looks superb! Thanks Eric!

Gamer: 95%
Modeler: 5%
Painter: less then 0%
I love to game whether it's 360, TT, board games, etc.
Painting just isn't fun for me, I do not have very good skills and I do not have the patience to improve. It seems every time I sit down and tell myself to take time and do it right, the moment I screw up something it's immediate frustration and I walk away. In fact I'm trying to fire myself up to sit down and get my Malifaux figs painted but I have paint anxiety.

Puppet Vote Rd 3
1. Collodi
2. Coryphee Duet
3. Copellius
Not picked for playtesting if that still counts for double.
Kaeris is the best puppet I've seen yet but they all look wonderful!
Thanks for the previews!
Question about Johan's Solidarity talent

Does it work with M&SU Assets?
The card says M&SU Members which I'm betting Assets are, but I wanted to be sure.
Thanks!
