You mean... you forgot... the Forgotten keyword Yes, and most of the community agrees they're way too good defensively for their cost... your point?

OG Tara or Timeless?

I think the problem with Banditos is thinking them as a damage-dealer taking on the big bois. They're more flankers/harrassing units, which sadly the game doesn't really need, so anything in that role isn't taken so much. I feel this would be better solved by a GG than by errata'ing the card. If I were to errata Banditos, I'd remove Life of Crime (there a higher priority models to claim the markers) and give them Disguised and/or Manipulative. Edit. Actually Stealth would probably be best. Also all the Bandit keyword needs something to make it so that the enemy doesn't just put the scheme markers from Drop it out of LoS from the attacking model or just make Burny Parker's Perdition non-aura. Agree with the points on the smaller beater-type models (wrastlers being a prime example) of not being that great as the game tends to reward the bigger, harder-hitting models. Giving most of them HtK would absolutely be a simple (if inelegant) fix. Also, prior to Lady Death, Death Marshals were a rarity, so I'm not sure they help your case.

I can also see a dramatic increase in the number of Tormented crews... this should be avoided at all cost!!

Definitely agree the art looks much better than the render. Also, if Amber Gate can't be attached during hiring, I wonder how it gets attached. Looks like it might a summoning allegiance...

Can't summon with Just like You! as summoning lists a model by name

Thanks, now we all know who to blame! You and solely you. No one else spammed lawyers these past few years! To be fair, I don't think Archie or 46 were nerfed into the ground. Maniacal Cackle I believe still takes Archie in most of his Molly lists. Agent is probably under the curve, and I'd love for him to get a movement/defensive buff. Like a lot of Guild models, he pays the price for LLC existing.

Completely agree with what @Azahulsaid in that the focus should be on toning down the OP stuff rather than limiting crew selection and prevent new and interesting crews. I fondly remember taking Hannah in my Titania crews in M2E and using her bonus to teleport between Lairs and then charge! Or taking Hannah in a Tara crew and copying a Death Marshal's Pine boxing an enemy master (good luck passing that Wp --> Wp duel to unbury when I have Wp8!), although that one was evil, M2E Tara was pants!.

oops. I meant that summons may not interact as well as being ignored for friendly strats and schemes

I think the current version of limiting summons is the best yet and see no reason to increase their power-level. If I were going to simplify it, I'd almost just have summons being completely ignored for friendly strats and schemes. And yes, I can hear the salt-induced rage now Better drink some more water! Then if there are models that this completely invalidates, maybe add an action that lets the models drop a scheme marker if not engaged, kinda like the Akaname. Although I also really like the idea of the Enslaved Spirit's demise too. Maybe all summoned models could drop a scheme marker on death if they don't already... As a crazy idea, that would be kind of interesting to playtest, make an alt format or even just try for for a GG season is every model gaining HtK... I think it'd be really interesting to see how the game changes with the little guys becoming much more viable. I think there will be a lot of disagreement on that one

Because the mimicked action's stat card has been removed from the game, the action mechanically doesn't exist anymore. The same as things like Vengeance damage, hazardous aura effects and some triggers (eg the self push and attack from Shove Aside) stop working on the model's death.

Thanks @solkan. That's my interpretation too. Also if the upgrade is removed (eg mimicking a an action gaining Onslaught from Formidable Horns), the mimicker losers the trigger or the action if the mimiced model is killed. Is that correct?

I asked this question in the Guild chat and couldn't get a definitive answer, so I thought I would put it here. If you give a model Expert Marksmen and then another model mimics its gun, do they also get to use the armour piercing trigger from the upgrade? To me, it's kind of like a chain. Expert marksmen says that this models guns gain the trigger Mimic says it treats the action (and it's triggers) as on this models cards So the question is does the trigger the gun gains become one of "the gun's" triggers and is therefore mimicked??? Cheers!

On the plus side, you'd have a 0% lose rate

I 100% agree with this. As is, Aionus is often hiding somewhere in the back cause if he peeks out he gets blastered pronto. This means that half of his really cool abilities don't see use (Time is a Flat circle is the big one, but even Buffering or A Stitch in Time are impacted when facing heavy ranged crews). I'd love for him to have Hard to Wound or Demise Eternal (and drop to 8wounds) or something.

Well I guess another option would be to give him Diving Charge. That'd actually fit quite well. It'd let him charge who he wants orget out of combat if needed. Or Butterfly jump if they wanted to go more defensive.

Would he though? Maybe... but for 1ss more you could get the rider who has a great gun, is arguably tougher and is a rider for all that entails (ie, being awesome!) Something like that could work. Add a trigger to Inhuman Physiology that lets him place in b2b with an enemy model within 8" (probably should be more than 6" as that's his charge range (although this would ignore LoS/terrain). Another potential bonus (to replace Mimic) that lets him get where he wants to be would be Risky Manoeuvres. And that gives him a nice Focus as well for his swords.

I'm probably going to get a bit of heat on this, but I'd kind of like to see Agent 46 lose Mimic and gain Leap (either suited needing a 7 or unsuited needing a 4 or so). I've always pictured this guy as an assassin darting around and shanking some poor unsuspecting git through the ribs. I think this would really fit this image that's been presented in the fluff rather than morphing a gatling gun or some Huge claws. There's a really cool paragraph in Malifaux Burns where he basically stretches across the rooftop in the blink of an eye to grab someone coming out the door. Giving him Leap would also fulfil a niche within Guild as a whole as they don't currently have anything like this.

Can't copy healing from the emissary as it attaches an upgrade as part of he action (through the trigger)

Aww! I kinda like the itty bitty darlings!!

That Starter looks so amazing! So much more dynamic than the Explorers and Outcasts Starters I like Pandora's gaunt face in the render. Keeping 2 tyrants in her box must be quite a strain on her. Ohh! My Queen is coming in March. Be still my beating heart! I hope her feathers have some texture on them... They look very flat in the render compared to what her OG versions have. Nekima is huge! Finally she is back to her M1E glory!

Very cool! Also What are jorts and more importantly, jort-wearing-Waldo wallpaper when????????? Looking forward to seeing individual wallpapers for each master (mostly Titania, but oh well )

Using Displacing Shot on Mordrake or a Nocturne to move up a Broken (with Fast from Gibson!) could be a go as they're plenty fast to move up later and don't really matter that much early game. For example, Walk/Shade Step Mordrake into the perfect position (then Focus, giving it to Ivan). Then Ivan can teleport the Broken 8"+70mm. Then turn 2, Mordake can run off to scheme or do whatever. Otherwise, as Adran said, Anti-Luminal Bridge moves your whole crew up quite efficiently (provided the enemy can't remove your shadows!). Ivan can make this happen twice. Double Agent also bring in the only in-keyword DUA heal. Overall, I don't think Double Agent is as obviously-powerful as OG, but I do think he looks super fun and in a lot of ways, more interesting.

Maybe try Jedza Everliving. She's not as bubbly and her irreducible will really hurt Talos or the Gribblies

This is amazing! Love your videos
