  2. A question for Perdita players.

    in Faction Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Mydnight

    The aforementioned list is here:

    Perdita +2

    Enslaved Nephlim 2ss

    Niño Ortega 7ss

    Santiago Ortega 7ss

    Guild Hounds x2 6ss + 1ss to starting pool

    Francisco Ortega 5ss

    Austringer 5ss

    6ss pool

    Not a bad list to start. I've been doing a lot of research into Guild as I'll be doing a Team Tournament with a friend and have had to pick up Guild Models. Perdita is my likely choice, but some models that are really solid to consider:

    Brutal Effigy ~ at 4ss you get Melee expert with a standard Guild loadout of stats with the requisite damage trigger built into his combat. He's also got object 1, so that gives him a little more survivability. Icing on the cake is that he has a 0 action healing spell. The only issue with him is that you can't take the Enslaved Nephlim (can't take totems and effigies unless you're Neverborn).

    I love the way Francisco looks, and he's definitely a solid 5ss model with some awesome combat potential. My concern with him is that he is a bit low on the wounds end, which may not see him get in combat as much. Just something to consider depending on a) what strat/schemes you're going for, and B) what faction you're up against.

    Witchling Stalker is a pretty awesome model. He's got a sweet combat, magic weapon, and standard Guild damage profile. The point where he really shines is his Disrupt Magic 0 action, which is going to make things difficult for your opponent if they try to cast spells within 6" of the stalker when it's up, and it only affects enemy models to boot (remember that if you have a penalty to flip then you can't cheat).

    If you swapped out the Nephlim and Francisco and replaced them with the Brutal Effigy and a Witchling Stalker, your cache would go down to 5, but you'd have some extra strength and a bit of trouble for your opponent :D

    Again this is only my insight. Try different builds and go with what works for you, and try to give models a few games to shine or not (it takes me a few games to get my head wrapped around a model. You could be better at that than I :D). Ultimately I say go with what you have fun with the most. Hope this helps :-)

  3. Avatar Criid

    in Malifaux Rules Discussion

    Posted

    Several questions came up last night in my game with Fetid Strumpet regarding aCriid.

    Pyre

    1.) Are the Pyre markers placed together or can they be placed separately? The wording suggests the latter but I'd like to be sure.

    2.) What is the source of damage from these markers in terms of schemes/strats? Is the damage from Sonnia, or is it like a burning token where the source is the token (in this case pyre) itself?

    3.) The wording on Pyre states that a model takes damage when *it* moves into base-to-base contact with it. Does this mean that the model itself has to move into base contact to trigger this effect? What if a 30mm model is fully enveloped within the 50mm marker?

    4.) If a model is pushed, placed, or summoned in base to base contact with a Pyre marker, does that count as having moved into it?

    Searing Wave

    1.) Do abilities like Hard to Wound affect the damage flip for Searing Wave? If so how do you figure out which model affects it if two models fail the resist? For example, Copy Cat Killer and a Rotten Belle both fail their resist flip, but since there's only one damage flip (that cannot be cheated) is it affected by the Belle's Hard to Wound, or do I get to choose who I flip against?

    I think I've gotten down all the questions that came up. Any help would be appreciated :-)

  5. Any Advice when facing Pandora?

    in The Resurrectionists

    Posted

    Charge is a 2AP action that involves a move and a strike, and I think mounted combat is similar.

    Wanted to chime in that I keep seeing people refer to damaging their own undead with Nicodem and Decay, but you have to remember that Decay on friendly undead heals 2 wounds instead. So if you put your own undead up there (MZ's are neutral) and spam decay then you'll only need the one target (until Pandy kills it somehow).

  6. Colette Crew! (PIC HEAVY!!!)

    in Miniature Showcase

    Posted · Edited by Mydnight

    So I finally have a large majority of my Colette Crew finished. The only pieces left are an Oiran and a Performer, but I'm not sure if I'll need them for Adepticon so they're being set to the side temporarily.

  10. Guild Riflemen Sprues

    in The Hobby Room

    Posted

    So I just got my order of the Guild Riflemen, and I opened the box to find these waiting for me:

    6R42I.jpg?1

    I am VERY excited about this! With the Riflemen being put on individual sprues it will be 10x easier to assemble them, and since I only need one at the current time it's perfect since I can just assemble the one and have it the rest be sitting pretty in their sprues.

    And for those wondering, the card text reflects the exact text in the book. Great job on these Wyrd!

    Will there be any events at the Armored Gopher / or another local store before you head back to school? I could possibly be convinced to head down from the Joliet/Plainfield area for the day. Its even possible I could drag a few others with me. Its about a 90 minute drive I think, not that much further then driving up to G+.

    I haven't planned any events for January yet, and if I do it'll either be late January or Mid February. The holidays have been really stressful for me this year.
