Da Git

I use him as a cheap model to do schemes or generate AP. He's useful paired with Sammy on a flank. He can activate and get fast, move up and give Sammy a model to Creep Along to. That said, he's the first model to be dropped if I need to. Kept reasonably well hidden, he's surprisingly tough to remove for 4ss. Especially for another schemer. If he hits he can also do decent damage over time with the Burning. Sammy can then finish them off.

The closest I could measure it (I have a bunch of other branches on the base) was approximately 1.8cm x 1cm. Hope that helps.

It's probably more suited to Big Hat, but I still get a Deliverence feel about the Tricksey keyword. If no one has Somer, you could probably still use the duelling banjos music

The hero we need. Not the hero we deserve!

I wouldn't discount the gun one the first couple of turns. Being able to move 6-12" and still shoot 2-3 shots to get Burning out (particularly if you hit the Ricochet trigger) or just ping damage. He can also dish out decent damage in melee if the enemy has Burning (although this is like Plan C). Agree with @Maniacal_cackle though in that the main thing he brings is Mv6, Unimpeded & Creep Along.

He brings a lot actually. Cheap heal Quick - Mv6 & Creep Along Hold Down trigger for more Sonnia shots (lots of other guns too) Good schemer for the bubble - with Sonnia enemies will have conditions - Burn! Ties people up with Clingy Kind of tough - HtW

I agree Handlers are great, however, I wouldn't call them an always take. Especially if I'm only running 1 Thrall.

Why the always take a Handler? I'd almost go for the second Thrall over the Handler. That 3/5/7 dg is just soooo good! My usual list looks something like this: Ravencrot - Unmasked (Guild) Size: 50 - Pool: 3 Leader: Sonnia Criid, Unmasked Totem(s): Purifying Flame Hires: Samael Hopkins Thalarian Queller 2 Sanctioned Spellcaster 3 Witchling Handler Witchling Thrall Witchling Thrall 2 Orderly Plenty fast and plenty hitty. It's done the job for me in the past. Lots of flex if you want to bunch/gunline up more by subbing Sam & Spellcaster out for Guild Mages/Spelleaters/Hexbows. Witch Hunters really has so many options now, you can really cater your crew to what you want to achieve.

I have to say Episode 30, The Mountain's Straight Reply as it introduced us to English Ivan. However, what really made this episode awesome was the little presentor stories, particularly the one with the conversation with the spider. I wonder if Lamashtu will ever become a character? Really miss the old presenter from the early days of the Breachside Broadcast. The new adverts aren't bad, but they've got nothing on that presentor!

I'm trying to build this surveyor and figure out where the chains attach to. They look like they attach to the bottom of the hands, but there's no clear attachment point. Can anyone post a photo of theirs showing where they are supposed to go? Cheers!

What about giving Dust Storm a rule saying that it can never gain a summon token, then give it (& the Ashen Core) Insignificant. This would make them completely useless scheme and strat wise until they reform, but then are perfectly happy again.

Hopefully these become models at some point! Pretty sure we've seen a mock up of the bird and the turtle looks amazingly fun!

Not sure I'd worry about the Waldgeists unless you're looking at the unreleased Kurgan or it's a very friendly board fot them (e.g. big area terrain forests). I'd probably trade them for a Bultungin & a Rougarou. Otherwise looks solid. Rougarou are fantastic second-line models. Turn 1 they Roar someone and focus, then turn 2, charge in and kill an isolated model. I know it's not a Fae, but I find it super hard to leave the Emissary at home...

Does Loam mean soil? So they just died? Or is it a bit cooler and they became Waldgeists?

Like the art. The render almost looks like it's made of clay though. Especially the fingers on the hands coming out of the golem, but some of the details on the rock are very soft too. Interesting that there seems to be multiple people coming out. Has Lohith's soul fractured into 3? Are there multiple people trapped within (miners from the town would explain the lantern)? Is he absorbing people as he goes and Lohith is the giant golem? Also wonder what is the chain is for? from the fluff blurb, it doesn't sound like he's been enslaved. Also interesting that he's in Arcanists... feels like he has a bone to pick with Sandeep and especially Raspy, yet can be hired by them.

Charles gives a wave! Von Schill ain't bad. He won't kill you unless he's getting paid! Vincent seems pretty decent too

Cheers! Forgot about them. I guess that's one way to replenish her knights but not really for any Fae lost. From memory they don't actually become Fae with the same inner glow and connection to the yon olde, untainted magicks of Malifaux.

I've been having some thoughts on how the Autumn court refills its ranks of late. From the stories it's sounded like quite a few of Titania's knights and Fae Dryads have fallen to Mercenaries, Marcus and other miscellaneous characters since their release. So without any way to renew their ranks, they'd be screwed and from how Titania acts, she's either seriously living in denial or has some way to replace her losses. I've come up with a few options: In her first story she crafted the Tooth, Thorn & Claw from the living bodies of her foes. I doubt this would be done for all her losses as it would be far too tedious for the Queen. Her magics bring them back to life. Probably powered by the Letting Stone. Most likely option as she did bring back the Bultungin from their age-old extinction. Can she bring back the Dryads of old? Those of her followers or Dryads from before her fall? I don't really see why not (again, the Bultungin). Next question, can she make new Fae (either Dryads or the others, I imagine restoring a few of the covens would be useful!)? Either through the members of her court mating (probably hard to do if they're all undead) or through the return of the scatter bands of Fae that survived (we know there a few scattered bands of Dryads, but they're almost out of reach). The Gigants should have a better chance of growing their numbers the old fashioned way, now they've come down from the mountains and have a more varied gene pool and food supply to avoid inbreeding and cannibalism (poor, poor Geryon!).

If you like the immovable brick of the Dwarfs, then Jedza of Hoffman could be right up your alley. A solid bubble moving up and daring the enemy to come get some! Other options could be Daw or Irosides. Another crew that does reactive play could be Von Schill's Freikorps. Good ranged, good melee, tough to remove. All this enhanced with upgrades to react to the opponent or make them a bit zippy with rocket boots. Actually, depending on whether you like their aesthetics, I reckon this could be the crew for you. Just sculpt Von Schill a beard!

Goonhammer is currently doing an introduction to the titles. So far they've done Guild & Ressers. https://www.goonhammer.com/category/other-games/malifaux/ Dunno if that helps

Looks like some EVS guy got to close to the enigmatic Malifaux Giant Squid!

Can you please elaborate on that? I like the Effigy (usually with upgrade) with Misaki 2 as he can make Last Blossom models take Interact actions for more shadows.

Have you tried Blood Caps at all? They're cheap and with Vasilisa, they're more puppets to hand out Staggered and when they die she can re-summon them or Stitched. She can also taxi them as they're Sz1. Can do some decent damage when Shielded and are great anti scheme tech with Trail of Gore. Not Neverborn, but I really like The look of Reid. Diversion, Nefarious Pact, Boring Conversation, Great attack with all the Staggered being thrown around or ranged Slow. So many options!

DOOM! DOOM!! THE SKY IS FALLING!! THE AGE OF MALIFAUX IS OVER!! [end rant] Seriously though, we've seen one released model with 6/6 (Yaksha & Skulker skins are 5/5, Hex bows are 5/6) and haven't seen anything of the rest of the keyword. While everyone's welcome to their hot takes, maybe wait a moment before rage quitting. Sure, some broken stuff will sneak through (it always does), but have some faith in the design team that's made this awesome game so far. Thanks for the clarification. Not sure which I prefer out of the lightning from the art or the whooshes on the render.

What snot? Also, the render is amazing! So much more texture and detail than the art. Hope it looks like that irl!
