I dont really know a great deal but this seems like the companion of the Ten Thunders Brothers rule where you activate one model and resolve its AP and then the 2nd Coryphee used its AP, so unless im completely wrong it looks like the same kind of rule?? Thats a complete guess! but im sure the more experienced players on here will put me right!

yup that does help very much ChuckleMonkey! I know i kind of answered my own question but the clarification has done the trick! Thank you very much! and also cheers for the page number! i was pulling my already receiding hair out looking for it! Thanks again!!

So!! Im sat at home reading my stat cards and rule book! but there are no description of and how to use some Abilities? for instance- on the Sue card it has Gunfighter and Hard to Kill, but there is no explination of the abilities? Are these Abilities explained in the Rules expansion books? I cant seem to find them in the rules manual?? Also can a Trigger and a Spell be activated at the same time? once again Sue has Rising Higher which is Cast when a tome card is flipped but Tread the Line is a 1 action which Casts on 13tomes, Sue already has a Ca of 5tomes, flipping 8tomes or over will Cast Tread the Line! Therefore triggering Rising Higher and casting Tread the line at the same time? Or am I interpreting it wrong and Rising higher triggers automatically when Tread the line is cast? increasing the Dg to 2/3/4 instead of 1/2/3?? so much to think about my brain aches!!!

Hairy belly on Executioner! love it! reminds me of me HaHa!! good stuff with all your mini's Kaled real good stuff!! Oh and What Inquisitor stuff is that? Wanting to get into painting them too!!

Someone has been busy!! very nice clean work Stinkoman! very well done!

very well done on the white!! bloody good job in fact!! I find white to be one of the hardest colours to use a lot of! I used to get that chalky effect but just recently ive been using clean water and building layers ! Ive found that keeps it flat and smooth! thinking of trying medium to thin down the paint to see what effect that has!! but your way looks perfect!! cracking work!!

just paint what you feel! its nice to have a coherent looking crew but its also nice to see variation, I change paint styles all the time! I think its model dependent! GW minis I go for the base cote and highlight method! but My Malifaux crew so far ive gone the base cote highlight and wash method! bigger models I go for shading up and down! but I think Im a bigger fan of using washes of late as I used to wash with watered down paints I think thats called Glazing? Being introduced to washes was a real bonus! ( thanks Stryder-Anth) Your Mini is pretty cool for first go! and you say you will re-do the first ones once ya get better skills? I have done exactly that! I have almost a full Space wolves army Stripped down ready! also lots of classic GW minis from the 80s hundreds of minis which I know I can do better on! but I think your first start is a cracking effort! and dont think ya need to re-do it at all!! I like the scars on his gutt! actually look like real scar colouring!! nice one! keep up the good work and lets see them pics coming in!!

just a crazy idea I had while trying to sleep last night! with characters such as Gunslingers and Gunsmiths, Death Marshals and Sue, there could be a possibility fo a Duel scenario! each person could field a single model and each person would flip till a severe card was flipped then the Wd would get taken off! if both flip severe cards each lose wounds! first to lose all wound is out obviously dead! just something I was thinking about! sometimes at the gaming club some people dont get a game! or wait to play, this could be a side game just for fun! ya could even field a small crew, Henchmen could lead the crew! It doesnt even need to be faction specific! not all factions have gun wielding manics at their side! such as Seamus has Guild Autopsys but thats about it for Rezzers! so obviously Seamus will wanna hire other gun wielding crazies to build a better crew! the more wounds the better! so I invite all of you to input into this it has the potential for a nice little side line! remember its just for fun!!

Dont like it!! Just kidding!! ha ha!! Very cool paint job and even cooler in huge picture lol wasnt expecting it to open thats big !! Pow!! Right in the kisser!!!

thats pretty cool!! will be good to see what you come up with too Amwranes!! look forward to the work in progress photos!!

So!! Ratty are you saying the Image is a crossover between Seamus and Nico? if so that would be a very twisted Character lol

this is the only other Mini I know with that hair style!!

I think the White Dove character isnt far from the new Rasputina Alt Sculpture and the butcher could be used as a Morgue assistant!! also this is a 28mm scale game so not too far off scale!!

seeing the picture like that now Im not sure!! its defo not Seamus or Nico! so I retract my earlier post Hmmmm?? now Ive no idea!!

I just recieved my resin bases from Model Display Products 10x cobble stone and 10x cracked earth! £9.49 for the 20 not bad prices... Nice Quality will do just nice for Outcast and Rezzers awaiting painting...

yeah I go with the Nico! thats the more likely suspect for that pic! Seamus has huge side burns !!

Vid tutorial came in handy! i was doing my blending with same brush! will try the 2 brush way when I next paint!! Cheers for tips!!

yeah I was playing breakthrough and destroy evidence! the TTB's did really well by the end of the game the other guy only had 2 guild hounds left! I lost 1 TTB still had both Viks, Misaki and Sue left! only managed to destroy 2 evidence markers before My opponent conceded but the hounds would have had Sue and Misaki to deal with so ended up being quite a good game! The game I had before was a 25ss slaughter and fielded Viks Misaki and 2 TTB's the TTB's held their ground for quite a few rounds ! the melee expert and triggers work well if ya cards fall right! I managed to trigger TRIP on Sonnia and gave her slow then then hitwith Melee expert and because of companion Misaki was in melee range so had 3 attacks and off Sonnia went so the companion rule surely is a good combo when attackiing powerful models! the 0 actions are cool too withCrab style= hard to wound 1 and Tiger Style= gain Terrifying->11 I manged to cast hard to wound but failed terrifying but it all turned out good in the end. I must say I was however being coached by a very good player but He showed me how they work so as I get used to the TTB's. so it wasnt all me, did get some marvelous flips though lol, hopefully when I go solo in a game I will remember I actually had triggered stuff HA HA!! Its a lot to learn but actually do like The TTB's with Misaki! ! think I will be staicking with these guys for a while!!

Bluestar86! I had my first game ever! last night using Viks Misaki and and 2 Ten Thunders, I liked how the thunders worked with Misaki on companion as I managed to get rid of Sonnia with attacks from a Ten Thunders Bro and activated Misaki Melee expert I was quite pleased to see Sonnia leave the table! granted i lost the Ten Thunders Bro next turn to a Bird lol but it did well! I think I will be using the TTB's a lot with Misaki as I get used to the crew before moving on with more model combos! Ronin are in the post and as you said Ive heard that the TTB's and Ronin are pretty simmilar so will be fielding Ronin once I have them in my grasp!! shame ya cant field all 6 and still have the SS that Viks need!! lol

Without sounding completely new out of the packet! would it not be easier to update the rules and allow same character types to be hired? example! Viks with Misaki as Henchman but Misaki could hire Onryo's and Datsue-Ba so potentially ya could have a Misaki ten thunders Onyo Datsue-Ba combo? just like a Viks, Von Schill freikorps crew? all same characters but Hired from different factions? Kind of like the family trait but have it a same race trait? or Ya could have Sue with Gunsmiths and Gun slingers? big shooty crew! I know im not considering all the conflicting rules such as Sue cant work with gunslingers and not all these characters have the Merc rule but surely a tweek in the rules would open doors for whole new combos that wouldnt need to see the rise of whole new factions? Maybe add the Merc rule to same race characters but thats the only time it can be implimented and not used to build big shooty outcast crews?? anyway something like that lol what do you guys think to that? If ya get my meaning?

cheers Spiku I think I used the crew creator and ticked brawl so maybe thats where I had the extra ss from? Ive been told a few times that Von Schill and the Viks work well so I am defo leaning towards That! My Viks are in the post as we speak so im going to have to use that box set till my other additions arrive! cheers for the reply!! but I will check out your link and have a play

Hi Guys! as a new comer to Malifaux Im liking what I read here! However! Im starting out with a Viks, Taelor, Sue, Desperate mercs M+F and 2 ronin! this leaves 14 points on 35ss I would like to use these with Gunsmiths from Arcanists but Ive not seen the stat card I think they have the Merc rule? if this is right can they be used with Sue? I think I read they are Ruthless and cant work with Sue? for some reason? I ask this as I do fancy a total gunslinger style crew? Viks with Sue, desp mercs, gunslinger and smiths? is this achievable? Remember im just building a crew and have not yet played so be nice lol I also would like to start with a Viks VonSchill Freikcorps crew?

Im starting with a Vik's crew as my first crew and ive just been on the crew creator on Malifaux.com and there are some pretty cool combos to play with! but!! as I see it Taelor and the ronins are a must, Von Schill,Librarian and a trapper making up the rest is I think the way to go? but in new so hey its all a guess lol but until my Frieksters get here in going to have to plump for Viks with avatar of slaughter, Taelor, Sue,Desperate Merc male and female and Bishop there is enough SS left to include student of conflict and add maybe 2 others thats on 35s brawl! but for a quick 25's I think imgoing to have to play Viks with Av with Taelor,Sue with a Student of Conflict and the 2 Desperate Mercs ? does this sound do-able?

Cheers guys! some usefull tips here! im leaning towards Von Schill crew but the Ronins have good reviews so may actually alternate! Playing games will show whats what hey!!

ok so after being introduced to Malifaux i have decided to go for a Viktorias crew with Ronins and Von schill Friekorps! So what i need from you guys is gaming advice for Viktorias with Ronins and advice on Victorias with VonSchill friekorps crew? As a very new beginner what would suit me better? staying away from magic for now till i actually know what im doing??
