Way Way later than expected, I will finally have that game with Kirai next week. I'll have to refresh myself on the rules of the crew it's been so long. So the deployment will be standard and the Strategy will be Guard the Stash. Scheme pool is: Assassinate, Spread them out, Set the trap, Breakthrough, and Vendetta. My opponent will probably play outcasts, I'm guessing Parker or Viks. So with that in mind what are some thoughts on this game. I'm looking to probably choose: Kirai ss 9 Ikiryo Datsu Ba Jaakuna Drowned Onryo ( or x2 if against Parker in place of drowned) Seishin Dead Rider So thinking will probably summon Shikome as early as possible and go after their Master (Assassinate) and send Ikiryo in to finish the job. Second scheme choice not sure on. I think Dead Rider will probably be targeted for Vendetta but if I can bait it out and then swing him around to either go for breakthrough or he can pile on attacks on their master. Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated.

Another model that I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned is Charm Warder. I know that they are a little fragile for 7 soul stones but with Chi Tokens, they can be a little pesky to cheat against. I'm also a big fan of the Chaos Theory action and against summoners obviously their usefulness increases.

Hello everyone, I have had a metal Kirai crew for like 10 years now and have played her maybe twice. I am a big fan of the aesthetics of the crew, which is why I bought them but for whatever reason I never really ended up putting her on the table. Over the last couple of weeks or so I have been trying to get the miniatures painted as perhaps that has been part of my reluctance to play her. I am guessing within the next week I should have it all painted up and then be truly left with no excuses to not give the crew a spin in M3. I have been reading over the rules for the crew and have felt that Urami are in a good spot and have some solid individual models. I am by no means a hyper competitive player but do enjoy playing crews well and using synergy with mostly in keyword options. So fellow forum users- 1) What aspects of Kirai/Urami have you enjoyed? 2) What experiences have you had that showed some fun interactions in keyword? 3) What deficiencies have you seen? 4) What made you play Kirai to begin with? and 5) What Urami model do you think gets the least love but has over preformed for you? Thanks for the replies, also trying to help get some discussions here on the Ressers side of the forum

Normally we have put out battle reports but have recently decided to do a little fun side project about why we enjoy different factions. We started with Bayou and hope others find it entertaining and at least worth watching.

Glad that you are returning to the game and hope you are enjoying 3rd edition as much as I do

Been awhile since I have posted on here but we have had many new battle reports uploaded to Youtube. Hope people have enjoyed them and I wanted to put a link to the newest battle report which is Jack Daw vs Mah Tucket. It was a fun game to play and give it a watch if you are interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFlkCpN4zLg

As far as Hoffman is concerned, I actually quite like the way he plays in 3rd edition. I played him more in 2nd edition, so still testing him out. I like the resource management style he plays as it feels thematic powering up his constructs and having the crew work together.

This might be a shocker for you but I don't think most people that play Malifaux are hyper competitive. I think most people play because they enjoy the hobby and playing with friends or acquaintances

We uploaded another video a couple of weeks ago...which included Ophelia for the first time on the channel and she is a tough little gal Hope everyone enjoys the battle report

I would recommend that you pick up which crew you like aesthetically the most. I think that advice will be pretty common as most people find motivation to paint/play with stuff they like. If you like the way everything looks (definitely a possibility) I would recommend perhaps Lady Justice as she is a strait forward master that is more focused on killing your opponents models. Dashel is another good option but be aware he is a summoner so your plastic addiction will be tested. Lucius is a favorite of mine (story-wise) but he is more tricky to use and you may have a harder time getting mileage out of him and his keyword.

damn, my bad lol. We should have a new video up this week. It is with The Queen vs a new keyword to the channel

Got another video up on the Youtubes Also happy Friday (for those where it is still Friday)

I like your painting, the bayou stuff looks awesome. But I can't let my boy Johan not get his name recognized lol

Oh okay, well that is good to know. I'm definitely fuzzy on the timing on some interactions.

The Red Joker was flipped for the duel for Abandon Honor, and at least to my understanding I wouldn't be able to shuffle it back in due to it not being in the discard pile until the effect has finished. Am I correct or am I mistaken?

Last month we uploaded some other battle reports to Youtube. This one being Misaki vs Viktorias (you could probably figure that out based on the picture) Feel free to check out our youtube channel and subscribe if you like what you see

I am the Basse player and up until recently I did not realize that Home on the range added +1 for each model. That is pretty sweet in some scenarios for sure, unfortunately our last video we put on Youtube I didn't take full use of Home on the Range (next time I will for sure) but still had a decent game against Lynch none the less. As for as Frontiersman, I like them seemingly more than others. Are they the best 5 point model? no but they are decent and work well with the crew I think. In the game versus Lynch I tried out a Rough Rider for the first time and while he is not as durable as the pale rider (4 points less so can't have it all) they seem to fit into the mobile feel of the crew and definitely looking forward to the model release.

I think Wyrd is doing 3E boxes more as if you don't own anything yet. So for Hoffman you get the Core box, yeah you might not use x3 hunter but if they did the one of each (hunter, watcher, gaurdian) the way like they did in the past you would have to buy multiple core boxes to get the second or third of certain minions. I think 3E has set up most masters to only need one or two boxes after the core to fill out most keywords. I think any frustration about which models are "bundled" is more about people that own stuff from previous editions.

The link didn't get made on the previous post

Another missed battle report from last month! It was a deadly showdown of Hoffman and McMourning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9YCXvkViIg

Yeah it was unfortunate for me lol, definitely didn't count on that happening

Spelleaters look interesting, definitely a nice little option for Sonnia. They seem to be able to used in many different ways.

Got another video battle report up on youtube. Give it a watch if you are interested, hopefully it's a fun watch

Looks like another video battle report was uploaded and I didn't put a link here. This was from a week ago and it was Titania vs Jacob Lynch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLmWLBpnaF4 Any comments welcome and Happy Friday!

I am really a fan of all the marker utility that is being integrated into the new releases. The hype is real for Explorer's Society
