I live in Charlotte and I am trying to get the meta grown out here, but it is a very tough thing to do due to 40k being quite an institution with gamers here. I have piqued the interest of a LGS called Battleground Games ( a large stride in-of-itself) that has accommodated games on Monday nights. I have taught two people the game already and I am hoping for more to try it out when they see a LGS supporting the game.

I would opine that Molly is the more versatile Master in Ressers. With two upgrades that allow different paths to summoning plus having equal power in debuffing and summoning make her a very powerful Master that create undead/spirits out of thin air that damage enemy models just by showing up. She has no weak Strategy or Schemes compared to the other Ressers who have distinct playstyles linked to their Strengths/Weaknesses.

Been trying to get back into Malifaux after the 2e upgrade because I think the changes made this one of the best miniatures games on the market ever. I have been trying to grow the meta here in Charlotte and I have been able to teach the game to a few people, one of them being the owner of Battleground Games Harrisburg (North East Charlotte - east of the University). Battleground Games has a Miniatures Monday that has not been overran by 40k players and it seems the owners are trying to allow some of the games like Warmachine and Malifaux have a chance which is great. Looking to see if there are other people in Charlotte who would like to come out Monday night and play some Malifaux.

Yeah, I apologize for the Poison/Wd thing. I read their post wrong. BUT LoS. It could not have happened. Z would just start Turn 1 every time by picking the biggest or baddest threat and just Poison it to death by turn 3 or 4. You have to get LoS.

That is not correct. 1. LoS. Z could not have possibly had LoS unless she Ravened and then that would mean she could not have summoned a doll. 2. Where does it say they take 2 Wd? This is the official ruling on Poison: When a model is hit by an attack with Poison # or affected by an Ability with Poison #, increase the number of Poison Tokens the model has to the # indicated either after resolving the attack, or as indicated by the Ability. Each time the model begins/starts its activation it suffers 1 wound per Poison Token it has, and then discards one Poison Token. This was played incorrectly if that is how it was played. I play Z and I love her, but she can't just pick any model on the board to Conduit and she definitely can't cause 2 Wd an activation just by doing Conduit. I wish she could, but she can't.

Perdita would have had a free shot at Francois on the Charge......unless you were playing someone who has never played Perdita. Also, how did you conduit the Austringer if he was hidden? You said no LoS....... Sexy Z needs LoS for the Doll to activate Conduit. How did the Austringer get poisoned? Also, the Enslaved did nothing the entire game? Did Samael just walk to his death? Z is great but trouncing Perdita? I am not sure how the other guy lost so terribly. Good job on the win! Always nice to see Z making her mark!

1. Ten Thunders with Von Schill 2. Outcast with Von Schill 3. Outcast with Von Schill 4. Neverborn with Von Schill

Not sure I am following on the first three. The fourth makes sense. What is so bad about Crooked and Drowned? Why NOT take Spirits?

They are amazing. I do not have the hodgepodge, but the rest are just fanatstic.

3 of them and 3 DM would be devastating range fire....... Lady Justice is smiling right now.

Hmmmm........... good idea.

It is the their Trigger to ignore HTW that has me excited......... and Ressers shaking.

Looks good. Keep the pictures and painted models coming!

That is a great idea! I never thought of her, but it does make sense.

Wyrd is a business. It is not about doing us favors, they are doing themselves a favor by advertising their product. They would be doing their job. If it is good, word spreads and mouths water. They are not going to sell as much in this economy by being secretive and waiting until the last minute to release information. If they are content selling to just their friends, then good for them, but it is still bad business. I also highly doubt you take this stance in all aspects of your consumer life.........

Yeah, I am noticing that. I also apologize for singling one Henchman out but it appeared he was trying to wash over the fact that we have no stats for these models. I agreed with the post that stats are the #1 or #2 determining factor for purchasing a model. We are a little over a week away and we have had one minion leaked and we were told all would be revealed with plenty of time to figure out our purchase list and it is looking like this is not so. This is not being addressed, only swept aside.

Looks like a Webley, which would have been used during the Boer wars.

True, that is why I said "some design on", meaning it is not an actual Bira, but developing from the idea of the Bira 's design. also, I speculated the Bira because it seems tofit the timeline better and fits location better than the Thompson which was invented in the US around 1919. But, who knows? It could be None of the Above - just some design to look cool - and we are giving Wyrd way too much credit in the research department.

Why do Henchmen do this? Does Wyrd pay you to change the subject or distract? Every time someone points out that Wyrd is not giving people good customer service, there is a Henchman on to make some comment that is either snarky, belittling, or just changes the subject. Don't dicount people like that, it is rude and it makes the company look terrible.

If you zoom in, you will see there are multiple barrels, so it is not a "Tommy" gun. Could be some design on the Bira guns of the time. Bira guns came from the East so it would be closer to the guy.

+1 These are nice little collectables for those who have bought everything else, but if I want a different playstyle, I would just buy a Master that has a different playstyle. At that cost, I can get an entire Master's Starter Box. ---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ---------- You can't Obey a Master......... and I am not sure if you can have a minion attack itself........

That sounds awesome.

Without relying on the Belles or any other Minion, I would rather see something that involves killing with the gun and/or the bag. He is Jack the Ripper with a hand cannon.........

The ever fun-loving Guild Hounds. Always great additions to the family.
