May as well get myself added to the list. But my timezone will definitely limit my gaming... Skype: DarkFather69 Timezone GMT +10 (East Coast of Australia)

Guilty as charged. I'm a Vassal Lurker, and have locked my room while trying to work things out (even played against my own 'other' account)... How sad is that?!?! I'll 'grow a pair' one day though.

Heya guys; I have just been made aware that my sneaky son has been 'stalking' my posts on several forums, and has gone and ordered me the following models as xmas gifts. He has ordered models that people have mentioned in threads of mine. So for xmas I will be getting the following minis to add to my Resser collection: Bette Noir Copycat Killer Onryo The Drowned Crooligans Dead Doxies Necropunks Zombie Chihuahua What is even better... I get the minis as soon as they arrive, no waiting for xmas day. So with the above minis and my current collection of... Mortimer Sebastian 2x Nurse 2x Vulture 2x The Hanged Killjoy 3x Punk Zombie 6x Mindless Zombie Grave Spirit 3x Crooked Man 4x Canine Remains Flesh Construct Madame Sybelle 3x Rotten Belles Molly Squidpiddge Rogue Necromancy Dead Rider I should b able to make an okay 35ss Seamus list. Thanks for the help and insights so far. Cheers

Only 1 or 2 problems with your ideas (pertaining directly to me and my Resser collection)... I don't own the Avatar, or any Desp. Mercs. I do have the Dead Rider though. Cheers ---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ---------- I was thinking Bodyguard and Deliver A Message for strats/schemes... Cheers

Hi all; I thought I'd try out a Seamus Crew since I have the Hatter sitting in my collection. What are your thoughts on the following list? Seamus Grave Spirit (1) 2x Rotten Belles (8) 2x Crooked Man (8) Madame Sybelle (6) The Hanged (8) SS Pool 6 Cheers for any assistance.

TY. I went and checked out those pages. Bookmarked. Thankyou again.

Hi all; If a power/spell/ability/et al. doesn't have a Ht specification, is it considered to have an infinite Ht? I ask because I have recently started using the Terraclips terrain and I have a 5 level setup (2" Ht per level). I can't say I'd be too happy if someone on ground level does a blast, and my mini at say 4th level (8" above the action) gets hit with any sort of damage from it. Same goes for pulses/blasts/abilities that have a 4" range (for example) is that effectively a 4" 'bubble' above and below that model? Or are my fears moot, because the floors/ceilings would be considered impassable to such effects (ie: no LOS)? But then, what about effects that don't need LOS, therefor negating walls, and in turn floors/ceilings? Also... Pandora's Wp ability when she is 'targetted'. Does that go off if she is charged, melee'd (with no charge), as well as when targetted with spells/ranged/ability attacks? Cheers.

Wouldn't Marcus and the cats be called "Prince of Purrsia"?

Well, our game just finished (timed out lol)... I know he took it easy on me, but with that said, I am really happy with my new understanding of the game/mechanics/etc. Photo-moment of the game for me, was my Mindless Zombie out-drawing Pandora on a Wp test. LOL. 'Man' of the match however had to go to the Dead Rider. He easily took enough wounds to die 3-4 times over before he finally succumbed to a Woe. Had a great time all told, and am eagerly awaiting our next game. Kiddy gloves are coming off for the next game however. Maybe a Boxing Glove match, before we get to the Broken Glass-cloth wrapped hand matches. Cheers dbr_83 for a very enjoyable few hrs.

I like that idea, and that way I can make use of Hunting Dogs and Pack Mentality. So with that in mind, I now have... 35 SS list... Nicoderm The Hanged - 8 SS Grave Spirit - 1 SS Dead Rider - 10 SS 2x Crooked Man - 4 SS each. 2x Canine Remains - 2 SS each. Total - 31 SS, 4SS pool + Nico's Cache of 3 = 7 SS Starting Pool. Oh and the list I'll be facing is... Pandora, Candy, Kade, Doppelganger, Insidious Madness and 2 Sorrows With a soulstone pool of 8 (3+cache of 5) Cheers

Oh ok... sweet. Thankyou for the info. Hmm 3 more points.. How about I add 1x Canine Remains... That'll leave me 1 point short. So end list would be... 35 SS list... Nicoderm The Hanged - 8 SS Grave Spirit - 1 SS Dead Rider - 10 SS 2x Crooked Man - 4 SS each. 1x Canine Remains - 2SS Total - 29 SS, 6SS pool + Nico's Cache of 3 = 8 SS (Max) Starting Pool. Cheers.

A huge thankyou to everyone for your thoughts and help. From the collection of models in my OP, after reading through everyones posts, I have come up with the following list. **Warning - I'm working from my '1st Printing: Febuary 2011' rulebook. Hopefully team building hasn't changed.** 35 SS list... Nicoderm The Hanged - 8 SS Grave Spirit - 1 SS Dead Rider - 10 SS 2x Crooked Man - 4 SS each. Total - 27 SS, 8SS pool + Nico's Cache of 3 = 11 SS Starting Pool. Does that seem like a l;ist that may stand a chance against a Pandora list (in a friendly 'teaching' game)? I could drop Dead Rider for 2x Rotten Belles, or 1x Rotten Belle and a 3rd Crooked Man. If the team building rules have changed, please let me know what I've don wrong, as I won't see the new rulebook until tomorrow morning right before we start our game. Cheers

Ok, wow... Lot's to take in. thanks for the ideas and insights so far guys. Cheers

Hi guys; I played Malifaux a while back (over a year ago O.o ), and I have pretty much forgotten everything about it. I have someone coming over to try and re-teach me how to play, but I am at a loss as to what list to field. I was never very good at playing the game originally, but times have changed, and I would like to give it another go. I fear I have chosen the wrong leader to try and learn with, but it's too late now. What I do need assistance with first and fore-most is help with building a list. I will be facing a Pandora list, which I have been told will make it across the tabletop and back again in 1 turn.... whatever that is supposed to elude to. We will be playing 35 points. Here is a list of the models I have... Nicodemus - My Chosen Master. Mortimer Sebastian 2x Nurse 2x Vulture 2x The Hanged Killjoy 3x Punk Zombie 6x Mindless Zombie Grave Spirit 3x Crooked Man 4x Canine Remains Flesh Construct Madame Sybelle 2x Rotten Belles Molly Squidpiddge Rogue Necromancy Dead Rider I have been doing alot of reading on the Forums of late, so I have a rough idea of ways to use different minis (Belles, Dead Rider - for helping Nico with movement etc) and other roles of other minis I own. But when it comes time to put 35 points of them 'together'... I get 'lost'... Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Jack Daw - Check. Will add him to my next order. I played my game this afternoon using the above minis. It was great. Crooked Men *big thumbs up*. The fear alone of their Cave In spell is enough to turn a players attention to them. That freed up my The Hanged and my summoned Rotten Belle to Lure in and Hangmans Knot a Sorrow to death in one round and in another to Lure in and Whisper From Beyond yet another Sorrow. In the end, Pandora was dropped by a Cave In, taking Severe damage from a 5 (3x Blast) damage flip. Boosted Canines took care (eventually) of Candy, and a summoned Flesh Construct working with a Lure'ing Rotten Belle, tag teamed Baby Kade to take him down. When things work... DAMN!! This Nicodem group simply ate through the Pandora group. But I'm not silly. I know I was very lucky this game. As to the above post... Store has scenery (as do I at home). I actually have a dedicated gaming room with a 6'x4' tabletop and a 8'x4' Gaming Cabinet that I built, with help from the wife. Estimating ranges is not a strong ability with me, but I do my best. Still getting my head around the idea of a 3'x3' gaming surface. Been playing on 4'x4' or 4'x6' for too long. I am slowly looking into all the different possibilities with the minis I currently own, and can't wait for my next order of goodies to arrive. Cheers for all the help/assistance guys/girls. Cheers DF

Say what?! Looks up card... sigh. Well that changes that then... New list. Nicodem Grave Spirit Mortimer, The Gravedigger 2x Canine Remains Crooked Man The Hanged Try to exhume with Mort, Reanimate a Belle with Nico, Buff everyone with Nico, Use Belle &/or The Hanged to 'lure' someone if in range, attack with the canines. Cheers DF

Yes that was the plan, also the Canine Remains have a Trigger that reduces defenders WP by -2 until games end. Pandora and her group are very WP heavy on their attacks, and so far I have seen that WP tests are pretty much her groups 'bread and butter' for dealing mass amounts of low wounds. This leads me on to the using of the Flesh Construct (but I fear I have either misread, or read too much into, his ability). Immune to Influence: Ignore effects that require the use of Wp when defending in a Duel. Have I read too much into this ability? Am I correct in thinking that the Flesh Construct is pretty much immune to any effect of an attack that has Rst: Wp? For instance Project Emotions, or any of the other Rst: Wp abilities/spells/duels that a Pandora-led group constantly casts? Would this also work against Pandoras own ability of dealing a wound to a model within 12 inches if they fail a Wp duel? Again, I fear I have read way too much 'power' into this ability. If I have done so, then I will be taking a long hard look at the list I have proposed to use. Cheers. DF

Seems I am up for another Pandora game this Wedensday, different player. His list will most likely be... Pandora 3x Sorrow Baby Kade Candy may or may not include Primordial Magic I have changed my starting line-up to the following... 25 points: Nicodem Grave Spirit Mortimer, The Gravedigger Flesh Construct Canine Remains The Hanged 25 points, 3 SS Cache, and no Schemes (players have agreed to hold off using Schemes while we get more used to the basic rules), so a further 4 SS for not implementing schemes. Activation Phase 1 - Plan: 1) a)Mortimer attempts to Exhume, then either moves or attempts Fresh Meat if enemy model in range. Zombie Companion targetting Grave Spirit. 1) b)Grave Spirit Links to Nicodem and attempts to Magical Extension Nicodems Fog. 2) Nicodem moves attempts Reanimator summoning a Canine Remains. Will then Bolster Undead, move again, then attempt Fog. Grave Spirit will be moved to be in B2B with Nicodem. 3) The Hanged will move towards nearest enemy mini, then attempt Hangman's Knot if in Range - as set up for following activations) 4) Flesh Construct will either Move, Double Move (if I have a crappy card in control hand to discard), or triple move (if card is a Joker [black]) towards nearest enemy mini. 5) Canine Remains will keep pace with Flesh Construct. 6) As above. Activation Phase 2: Will depend on outcome of Activation Phase 1, of course. Thoughts, criticisms? Cheers DF

Thanks for all the replies guys. I read through everything and settled on... Nicodem 1x Vulture 2x Canine Remains 1x Crooked Man Mortimer 1x Nurse Long story short - I was defeated on the 6th turn. Lost initiative and had a terrible control hand (no card over 6). Things I realised and noticed from this game... Nurse: Good for buffing the dogs early on, then after that... pretty much useless (Pandora team had only 1 'ranged' attack and Nico was never Melee'd). Canine Remains: Awesome, under 'speed' and pumped on stimulants. Caused quick damage on 2 Sorrows (both linked to Baby Kade), then died and left me 2 nicely placed Corpse Tokens. Crooked Man: Wow, just wow. Really got to get all 3 into play at some time. Vulture: Meh. Did it's job ok. Gathered Counters for me and all, which was good. Never had a chance to Eyes & Ears it or anything else. Nico & Mortimer: Meh. Really wished I had a Rogue Necromancy at one point, but that'll be here soon, I hope. All in all, I had a great game. Can't wait to play someone/anyone tomorrow. Gotta go through my list of owned minis and work out what I have that combines really well. MVP for me was Crooked Men. Damn they were cool. Cheers DF

Hi all; I have just recently gotten into Malifaux and have started my experience with the Nicodem box set. Four games only, under my belt so far with 2x Draws and 2x Losses. Well tonight (just moments ago actually), most of my order that I placed had arrived. I have a game organised for tomorrow morning at the LGS and was wondering if I could get some assistance on building a list? Below is a complete list of what I own, and the game is set to be a 25 pointer against (possibly either) Pandora and/or Collodi (If opponent uses both then Collodi will be a henchman). What I own: Nicodem Box Set McMourning Box Set Seamus Box set 2x The Hanged Grave Spirit Killjoy 3x Crooked Men 6x Mindless Zombies 2x Vultures 2x Canine Remains I would like to stick with Nicodem as my Master for the crew. Could anyone provide me any assistance pls? Cheers DF
