we caught a guy using a deck with nothing lower than a 7 in it by buying 2 decks and combining them. Got caught pretty fast though playing the red joker twice in a row and he wasn't playing as Hamelin. He just cant get a game at all in our LGS now.

I was attempting to be more concise that I usually am. I assumed that the ability would point out a purpose for Snow Storm having Graverobber. Since corpse counters are only generated when a Graverobber is in play, the point was that Snow Storm can cause models to leave corpse counters behind prior to Raspy becoming Avatar of Famine, without having to take additional models (e.g. December Acolyte.) I wasn't suggesting that Snow pick them up... just that by having Graverobber the counters start accumulating. This would then leave a series of corpse counters around that aRasputina could start using immediately. And while this was not the point I was attempting to make, it is also a possible use: if your opponent is playing a crew that needs corpse counters, Snow can collect them denying their use to your opponent. Since models cannot drop counters, if you employ this tactic you deny their use to aRasputina as well, unless you are willing to lose Snow. Hope that is a little more clear.

aRasputina (0) Frigid Offspring - Discard one Corpse Counter within 6". Summon one Ice Gamin

My bad... for some reason I was confusing Eat your fill with Consume the Dead from the Acolyte. I can see a use for having the graverobber on Snow Storm if you plan on avatar-ring 'Tina. It would help rack up the corpse counters on the board before you avatar her and start spewing out gamin.

Additionally, if there is not a model with Graverobber in play, corpse counters will not drop. So it would be extremely rough for Snow Storm to have "Eat Your Fill" and not have Graverobber.

To further expand on this line of inquiry....Does the Intimidating Ability render the Gunsmith immune to Terrifying effects? Intimidating: This model is Terrifying->12 to Ht 1, Insignificant, Harmless, and Pitiful models. Granted this is a conditional Terrifying ability, but its still a Terrifying. Even if a model that would be affected by the Gunsmith's Terrifying is not in play, the Gunsmith (or other model with Intimidating) still has that ability. I suppose what it start boiling down to, is - Is the Terrifying effect from Intimidating always on... or does it turn on and off as the appropriate models are in play and range? Personally, I think that the ability is always active and therefore grants a model with Intimidating (such as Gunsmiths) immunity to other Terrifying effects. Feedback and thoughts are appreciated.

Hey there guys and gals, I finally decided to get off my lazy butt and register for the forums. I have been a Malifaux player for just over a year now, ever since one of the owners of the FLGS that I frequent got me hooked on the game with the line "There's no problem you can't solve by throwing a couple of dead hookers at it." I have been a Role-player for almost 3 decades and had decided a long time ago, to never ever touch miniature gaming. One year later I am glad I revisited that decision. Malifaux is simply a kick in the pants. I even got my wife hooked on it as well. I am from Idaho and frequent the shop, Strategy & Games. The guys who run the shop are great and highly supportive, and the people who play at the shop are an awesome bunch (well for the most part.)

Been play for about a year here in lovely Coeur d Alene, Idaho. Just added the game shop where I got hooked on Malifaux and where I play at: Strategy & Games find them on Facebook as well.
