I noticed under Henchman Hardcore it still references using Plant the Explosives from Gaining Grounds Season Zero. As I tend to make my own refrence cards for seasons, I just wanted to double check this was intentional, and that the rework shouldn't be used. My guess is yes, but... figured it couldn't  hurt to ask. 

This was fun! Looking forward to the next round!

Sara, and Aaron would like to reserve a spot each.  I need to find out for sure if Jaden is available. He may work. But we both just confirmed our availability. Bar work emergencies, we are down to clown!

Not 100% where to post this. Mildly strange request. I was wondering if anyone could post a pic I know I saw, but can't seem to find.

 

That chubbie little pig sitting on it's rump Nathan often ends his posts/news letters with. Attached example. However wearing, I believe, an old fashioned rugby helmet. 

 

We are cooking up a story encounter for our local Malifaux Group "Tossing Around the Ol' Pigskin". A moderately converted/rewritten version I started working on based off a post found on the Bayou of Malifaux Facebook Group. 

 

Promise I am not looking to profit from it"s pilfering. Just want to use the image on little paper "Piglet Tokens" for use during the Scenario. Pretty sure, (or at least I sure hope), that falls within the "fair use" realm.

 

I've hunted every where for two days. I went through a couple years worth of Monthly News letters I never deleted (though I am guessing I did delete the one I am looking for). Every page of announcements scouring for new release newsletter posts. I even started trying to look through old Chronicals issues. Just not having any luck. 

 

A hand, or hoof, would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully before I loose my mind to the insanity not being able to find something seems to inflict apon me. LOL

 

I couldn't take it anymore. Drew my own on there. Not as purdy as what I remember seeing... But that'll do pig... That'll do.

I can't deny slippery is likley over kill. It was quite potent. Perhaps something more along the lines of recieving armor when near Gracie? Something to simulate him taking cover behind her pots and pans. I imagine I am perhaps trying too hard to keep them tied together to keep the whole "Big Trouble In Little China" them tied together. But really enjoyed them as a duo, and seeing as the main complaint is that he is a a bit too fragile, think it could be a nice way to get two birds with one stone. Also it makes upping his survivability come at the cost of a fairly large investment commiting so much of your crews soul stone pool into the two of them. Just my two cents. 

I have to agree he seems to easy to focus down for 8 stones. He is such a beloved character I would hate to see him shelved by most folks. Granted I also feel it's good he won't be in every single list you see too. But feel that was fixed from the get go with keywords. What if he got back the slippery ability to throw damage on Gracie? Would love something tying them together a bit more thematically as well, simply from a story line perspective any how. I was guessing being able to throw the damage anywhere may have been viewed as a bit potent, but perhaps if it was specifically Gracie that would put a hefty pricetag on making him that survivable?

I believe his thinking was that if it's a nightmare model then they may divert from the original model.

Also hoping for it to NOT be McTavish or Emissary.

This was my thoughts exactly. They can write fluff around any of that I would think. Maybe the gator egg fell in the pig pen and grew up think it' a pig. Ha!

I wonder if Avatars are coming back next book... Nightmare Som'mer and Peaches? Even see a still and umbrella...

Looks mighty nice. Let me hazard a guess.... is this a greenhose or sun room type of building? I'm excited to think it could be modular.. as in made to line up with one or more other kits to make a larger building. Though I could be wrong. I' m dieing to know how much... and when!

I forget who all makes them, Secret Weapon, and maybe Armorcast... but there are weapon bursts to make it look like different types of weapons going off. Some of those coming out of little pieces of tube coming out of the ground could work.

When pointing up our initial arsenal is the chosen master free? Then 15ss  to field in game? Was initially thinking the 15ss came out building the initial arsenal. But reading in the book it looks like I was wrong. Thought it might be best to just check with you.

Imagine while I'm at it I might as well ask a couple more. 

Is  one henchman still mandatory? My guess is no, but didn't see anything in the book to confirm.

Lastly, I'm guessing we are still restricted to one upgrade only, initially. Is that at normal face value? Or is the doubled cost in effect right off the bat... or only during the "new hires" phase? 

Thanks!

Must have missed that part. Thanks!

I'm reading that as any of our four crew members can be the nominated wrestler.  Assuming that is accurate, can we know ahead of time if there would be any advantage or disadvantage if the chosen one happens to be the leader? For instance will assassinate still be a scheme? Or is it intended  to be a surprise? 

If your looking for fluff, the Breachside Broadcasts are basically audio books of the stories right out of the big books.

I'm tempted to re-base and put my old metal McMorning on the base with 'ol  29 for use as an avatar.

  Quite a few of the first edition sculpt had no nose, I'd even dare to guess most. But it appeared to be something they went back and forth on. I suspect they made a decision to go with no nose on all right around the time second dropped.

  I remember a thread about the alternative sculpt for Som'mer where we where all talking about if gremlins should have a nose. I like no nose. Sets them apart from all the other Green skins out there.

  I'm guessing they still would have nostril slits, maybe? Perhaps the septum is a recessive genetic trait and only develops for certain blood lines.

Trixie is a must.  The cheat initiative will often be the difference between a model killing or being killed.  I also giver her quality mash.  She can do all her stuff plus now heal 3 times if needed.

I like taking Sammy.  Her ability to stop a character walking or declaring triggers can be vital against certain opponents. (looking at you silent ones)

I've been using Roja, Trixie, Sammy and a stuffed pig for hardcore henchmen.  Keeping Roja alive is hard but that's why I give quality mash to Trixie.  I retired this crew as my opponent could not win.

Tonight I'm going to use McTavish as I just bought him (will have to proxy tonight though).   Not sure what crew I'll take with him yet but Gators are on the list.  This is a non competitive game so I won't be trying to build the perfect list, just trying stuff for fun. 

 

That crew sounds awesome. But doesn't Trixie, Sammy, Roja, a stuffed piglet, and quality  mash  tally  up to 22 points? Or am I off? I'm tempted to try it out is why I ask. 

Edit: Never mind. I figured it out. Roja leads. Me no math so good. lol.

Well, now that you have gone that route, I would say save up for Burt Jebsen next. He was literaly made to go with Gracie. Slap the saddle  up grade on her and drag him along with her. Tons of fun to be had there. 

Me likey!

Can't tell you, anything about the online store. But if it helps to know, my local game shop had one in store yesterday. Figure that has to mean onine is anyday now.

But, if you really like it, I am fairly sure you can use the essence of power with Kriaris. Painted up nice and flame-ey it would even match nicely.

Make sure you don't just have an old Opheilia box. Pere had a misprint on his card. My search-fu is weak so, by all means double check this info. But I'm 99% sure he should be on a 40 mm base. My card is a misprint. So I believe they are still floating around out there.

I may be wrong, don't have him to check the card... But I think Skyhawk may be talking about Hamlin the rat catcher. Not the master. I seem to recall reference to that merc having an ability to let you bring a ht 1 out of faction minion. But then again I may be delirious. Not sure if that would get around the Hiring restrictions or not. Let alone get any stuffed pigs in the list.

My advice would be to diversify. T-shirts, key chains, comics, novels, plushies... ext.

I realize that's easier said than done. But third party companies possibly could be enlisted. I know several of my friends, as well as I, would blow money on them. I think most fans would.

You have plenty of beautiful art already. Slap those on a few T-shirts with a big fat logo and you will have folks paying you to advertise for you.

Reproducing the 1st rule book fluff and all is a big one as well. Love the mini condensed version. But the fluff is a huge selling point, or was for me anyhow. Took me a couple months to get my hands on a copy of the 1st book so as to know what I missed reading the last 2 first. Borrowed it too. Have yet to find a copy at at reasonable price, well, when I actually had the money to blow.
