Also looking to see if anyone has been to some malifaux events and would like to write about them.

Tournaments

Henchmen demos

wyrd events

Gencon 2011

Gencon 2012

Also reviews on terraclips and reveiws on minis

LETS GET SOME REAL LIVE REPORTING ACTION

also battle reports with photos are cool!

I can write up my experiences of the UK GT, if you like? And I'll happily review the new models Wyrd are releasing.

And I'll take photos for my next Bat-rep, if you so wish!

one last thing lets start brainstorming ideas for a title

Through The Breach?

also question for you guys large page size or small page size?

Large page size would mean more content per page but less pages. Large pages would be 8.5x11 which is normal paper size

small page size is less content per page but more pages... about the size of the small rules manual was what I was thinkin if we went with the small pages

I'd go with rules manual size, personally. But, that's only my opinion with no real reason. Any size will do

Also featuring some models would be awesome if we could get permission from a painter to use their pics of painted works

You're welcome to whatever work I have (check out this thread, or my Youtube), but same as dsmiles, pictures aren't the best.

It's a fantastic idea! I don't think I'd replace my real Teddies with it, but I'd sure as hell respect the person who made this work XD

I'd assume it would be including. In the same way that a model that is exactly 3" from base to base is "within" 3".

Hoffman and Kirai have a Rock-Paper-Scissors match to decide if metal is indeed better than spirits.

Hoffman gets rock... cake (+5)

Kirai... doesn't (-10)

Seamus - 85

Kirai - 0

Marcus - 90

Sword Vik - 65

Hamelin - 75

C. Hoffman - 90

Lady J - 85

Not enough.

I'll drop ya a PM about this, I'd love to do what I can in this

Is there any non-nightmares that are good with him?

Well, just from looking, the Hooded Rider might be fast enough to keep up and can use it's Chase the Sun thing to stop it being targeted on the Way up.

...I think he's the only really viable one. Perhaps a Mature Nephilim might be able too as well?

In that case completely ignore my comment, and have fun

I won't ignore it, I'll merely disregard it. Until the next tournament, that is XD

And thanks, I think we will have fun

Convert. Always, always convert. Hey, I started in 40K Orks, converting's in my blood!

But I've never had to yet. Not even for the Insidious Madness, which I think is the worst model in the Wyrd range

With the OP on about a fun force, Im assuming he means fun for both them and whoever there facing.

That's right, there's only one other Malifaux'er in my area, and he has a habit of rage-quitting if he feels like he's getting trounced.

Well, thanks for the tips all, I'll bear them in mind when Chompy finally arrives! Starting force will be the Chompy, three of the PW Teddys as Daydreams, then trading the other two for actual Teddys. Should make an interesting 25SS first game!

So, my Nightmare LCB and accompanying crew are becoming a reality, and I've decided I want wooden bases. My question is where to get them?

I know Wyrd do some VERY nice Orphanage bases, and that's all well and good.... except my crew configuration is somewhat prohibitive...

Dreamer/LCB

3 Daydreams

3 Teddies

That's 4 30mm's and 4 50mm's. Off of Wyrd that's 5 blisters of bases, which I simply cannot afford at this present time.

But, I also can't see a logistical way of effectively using coffee stirrers or ice-cream sticks to get the same effect without lots of gluing, filing, filling, pinning and painting. Nor am I a good enough sculptor to use GS and just sculpt wooden floors.

Any suggestions?

DUDE, this stuff is fantastic. I bow down to you in your woe-inducing awesomeness. I WANT MOAR!

I'm pretty sad to admit that I hate the alternative Model, but as the original is just great (and even better with the alternative cloak) I can live with it.

Pandora's Alt model is one of the few that I think isn't any better or worse than the original. Most of them (Ramos, 'Tina, Sonnia, Lilith) I think are way better, a couple (Perdita, LJ) I don't like as much. It's not that I think the Alt.Pandora model isn't fantastic, it's that the original Pandora is also a fantastic sculpt in a different way.

But, I guess it's all preference

Ps.: I'd love to see my base scheme in pink

I've been so tempted to do a Nicodem crew completely pink... Especially since it's not mine...

A couple of ways to tone down your crew and ease up on your opposition, don't start with any daydreams on the board summon them in, don't defensive stance and bury your entire crew of nightmares turn one, don't take a crew purely consisting on nightmares.

Simples really.

Well, I'll make note of that when expanding my Neverborn I wasn't going to Def.Stance my crew anyway, to be honest. Thanks for the idea, though!

I thought it would be a from the focused strikes because Proper Manners doesn't apply to those strikes?

Re-read the card, yes you're perfectly right My bad.

The and flips from Focus and Proper Manners cancel out for a straight flip

I assume Conduit would give on all Ca where that model is defending... but I'm not sure.

You can Obey someone to walk over an elevation.

I think the Stitched's damage line is meant to be a straight flip, it has no mention of a Duel total affecting the flips or twists.

Unless you took the Dreamer, then yeah. With the dreamer, it's possible to have 9 Teddies in an 85SS game. Not that I recommend it, but I want to see someone play a game with them XD

The one single model that pushed me over the edge into starting the game was Teddy. How can you deny a grin like that?

But I agree with the Guild Monkee. The entire range is so varied and generally awesome there should be a model in it for anyone who cares to look.

I hope they do, or my planned three Teddy dreamer list will be slightly more confusing...

Is it bad that I'm now genuinely tempted to name my future first-born Kaeris...?

Is it Lord Chompy Bits you're talking about for the Onslaught trigger? Well, here it is anyway...

Onslaught: After damaging defender with a Melee Strike with this weapon, immediately make a Melee Strike with this weapon, targeting the defender.

Well, if she applies the dual to the Seishin, she is not being damaged by the Melee Strike, therefore they cannot possibly activate this trigger as is it not the defender being damaged.

That's my take on it anyway.

The bit you're missing: an activation cannot interrupt another activation. Here, "immediately" means "next".

If someone kills the Dreamer, Chompy unburies, the enemy model finishes out it's activation, *then* Chompy activates "immediately".

In the case of the Daydream unburying Chompy, he is buried again before he gets to activate "next".

This was ruled somewhere but not sure in which thread.

Mike

OK, that makes sense now. Thanks a bunch!

After 1st Daydream casts Frightening Dream, why doesn't One Master kick in? Shouldn't Chompy activate immediately, interrupting the Daydream's activation in a similar way to, say, Slow To Die?

Just ordered Nightmare Chompy myself, and look forward to learning his tricks, but I don't understand how this one is legal (Even though I know it is used quite widely). If someone could explain it to me, I'd be grateful.

Thanks in advance.

I'd imagine because One Master is referring to when Chompy or Dreamer are activated; when one goes, the other can immediately follow because they are One Master.

Because this is the Daydream affecting the models and not the models themselves doing actions and neither the Dreamer or Chompy have activated at this point, they're not affected by One Master and allow the Daydream to finish the activation.

It must be a kinda similar trick to Lilitu luring Lelu further up the board. The Lelu is moving, but it's not spending AP to move.

This is just what I'm thinking. I've ordered Nightmare Chompy myself, so I'm learning as well. Feel free to correct me!

EDIT: Re-reading the rules, I'm actually having to agree. One Master does clearly state "Anytime this model is brought into play, this models controller must bury the Dreamer and this model activates immediately" So, what's going on here? Unless there's an errata?

I like it, I think you've done well on it
