• Alps - the errata really made these guys questionably-useful at best
  

How often if ever do you bring out an alp from copelious?

Nope.

Constructs just makes them immune to morale duels. Other WP duels still work unless they are immune to influence as well

So they'll ignore terrifying but they can still be lured, obeyed, etc. Pardon my brainfart.

The marionettes are constructs, that makes them immune to wp duels such as lure and terrifying right?

So with my limited amount of never born knowledge, what is the best way to do 3 neverborn masters under 150?

Collodi box, Lilith box, Primordial magic blister, Zoraida blister (use the extra dolls for a voodoo doll), Young nephlim blister, the twins, tuco, Pandora box. Thats about $130ish I think. I'm not a fan of Zoraida's box so I recommend just the blister for her. The gups are subpar if not in a Marcus crew and JuJu is Immune to influence so cannot be obeyed.

oh crap yeh sorry your right it is double suited i just assumed when you said that you meant double mask tbh i dont really get why the primordial has that tome... is there any neverborn master that actually needs them??

I have no idea why that tome is in there. Not a clue. Maybe it was a holdover from v0.8 that was never changed and then was left in just to puzzle us?

If you could give one of the twins any non-master (1)spell from the neverborn faction what would it be and why? What would be the most broken thing possible? If the answer is different what would be the most fun/random (1) spell to give a twin?

I am pretty sure that you can't try this action if Sue makes you immune to it, though. Sue is very good against Pandora that way.

Sue makes you immune to the effect not the spell. So as I understand it if I were the pandora player I could cast it against a model sue has given "tread the line". Then if I win the duel I can push 4 inches if I win the wp->wp duel. Then I can cast incite/pacify again against the same model because it is not affected by incite/pacify and push again, dealing 1 wound for each wp duel I win. Being immune to the effects of incite/pacify does not mean you cannot be targeted by the spell afaik. It sorta makes Sue less then ideal vs pandora/candy/kade.

Starting on turn 3 won't the Hoff be facing Avatar Ramos? I was under the impression that Ramos' avatar was an auto include and a turn 2 (all) every game?

That got changed because of the abuse of Obey and forced charges.

"Abuse" sounds like such a dirty word. I prefer to think of it as "creative use of", or maybe "unanticipated use of". :-)

+1 to this. You make a terrifying check when you being an activation within range of a terrifying model. Immediately moving out that range doesn't mean you didn't meet the condition to make the check.

So the marionettes would both push to within 8" of Collodi(since I'm the active player I want that to happen first to avoid disengaging strikes), and then make a terrifying check?

The only thing that makes me lean towards push to collodi first is that the text on the marionettes says "immediately", while the terrifying test is just on activation. In either case I feel it would be good to know for sure.

Had this come up in a game yesterday. A Marionette(A) is about 12 inches away from collodi, 3 other marionettes(B,C,and D) and ASeamus is within melee of Collodi, B, C, and D. ASeamus has already activated. (A) activates and pushes to within 8" of Collodi. (A) then pulls strings and moves .0000001 inches towards collodi and places Collodi on the far side of himself away from ASeamus. Then B activates and has to push to within 8" of Collodi which is out of ASeamus' melee range. Does ( have to take a Terrifying test before pushing to within 8" of Collodi? After? Should I draw up something in paint so this question makes sense?

The relevant rules as far as I can tell are on page 57 for terrifying and on the Marionettes card under Collodi's dolls. One says test on activation, the other says if outside of 8" immediately push to within 8". Which one takes priority?

Back when you did the original Gencon Book review you stated that you had some nasty tricks up your sleeve with the exorcist but you would not reveal at the time what those tricks were. Times up, spill the beans...

I agree, spill em!

Undefeated with Pandora

I'm jealous. I wish I was at the 100 game mark already. I'm at about the 10 game point

Name for a bar - Cheers.

What do you think are the worst 6 minions (1 from each faction) when this airs? What do you consider the best 6 (again 1 from each faction)?

What schemes do you play against the least? Why do you think that is and is it good for the game?

You do need a 10 or better of masks to cast with the voodoo doll. Or a moderate mask and a SS. AZoraida can double take the obey to cast it twice i think.

Only 4 obey's pre avatar. Seems like a lot of buffs on one model. What if it gets paralyzed?

Yes I have but I am at the point that I want to stay with in the confines of "Neverborn" atm. I'll expand to Hamlin after I have a core of "Neverborn" to try out.

Are the twins considered one clamshell?

I knew the voice was right when it said I wasn't crazy!

Ok well I'm looking to expand on my Pandora box. I've already bought a Poltergeist and Doppelganger. I'm looking to add one more "clamshell" atm. What would be a reasonable addition.

Have you considered Hamlin T.R.C.? He has cast expert and 3 wp based spells, one of which is obey, as well as a 6 inch "Nix" range of don't come near me.

also just to point out, primordial magics Ca isnt double suited. I really wish it was though but thatd be a bit too good...

I swear my card has two suits on it... I'll check when I get home and update this post. Although it wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong ? ?

Instead of the Cherub the Primordial magic. +1 card in hand and a 5 double suited cast.

I'm not a fan of Zoriadas box. I think the bad juju is mediocre at best and I dont love silurids. I think a blister of Zoriada, and a voodoo doll made from her extra dolls is enough. Then add Tuco for obeyed blast damage fun. Shake twice and garnish with Stiched to taste :-)

Naming minions is the Malifaux equivalent of the guy in the war movie showing his buddy the picture of his girlfriend back home. You know its not going to end well.

This is terrible, I've named all my marionettes...

Thanks to Nilus for running a fun event! Congrats to Bret on his 6-5 victory to win first place. And anyone who says kidnap is an automatic 2 points can just ask Bret why it was 6-5 instead of 6-6 :-)

Thanks to Greg, John (I think) and Bret for 3 great games!
