Wait what? People are quitting Malifaux? Why? When will Wyrd release aHoffman? What would happen in the book 4 fluff? Would the Tyrants devour Malifaux? Is Lucius really a Neverborn? A Tyrant? Would the Gremlins copy other factions? They already copied the Ortegas... perhaps they'll copy the Ressers... think about it.. undead Gremlins... One more thing.. When is the next episode?

Interesting thought.. I never thought of keeping my enemy's master alive in order for me to win!

Well, fluff-wise Rezzers should have the lowest defense since most of their minions are undead zombies... somehow, I highly doubt zombies would do a lot of dodging... if at all, they can take more punishment before "dying". As a Guild player, I have yet to complain about their Df stats. Perhaps I cheat fate a lot more times than others. Of course, my best defense is a strong offense.. right Lady J? Lucius?

Ms. Criid has the best looking Guild Avatar.

I've grown to have the opinion that if Levi doesn't die at the end of the turn, you're playing him wrong..

I agree with you. 1 Guiild Guard, 2 Guild Hounds and an Austringer. 15 ss +1 ss cache Lady Justice 4 ss cache + 1 ss cache due Guild Hound bonus Lucius 10 ss Guild Guard 4 ss Guild Hound 3 ss Guild Hound 3 ss Austringer 5 ss That's a solid 25 ss crew. For 35 ss add: Guardian 7 ss or any 7 ss minion like the Executioner, Nino the Judge the Watcher 3 ss or Death Marshalls (for undead crews)/Witchling Staker (Spirits or Ca6+ Masters) 4 ss x 2 Desperate Mercenary 2 ss or add to cache...

I typically do this trick towards the end of the turn.. if I'm ahead in models or when all of my opponent's beat sticks have activated. Of course, I wouldn't put Lady J in harm's way unless there's a worthy prize (objective marker, enemy master, scheme completion, etc). Anyway, it is a way to mitigate the Guild's so called slowness. Plus, I usually have a cache of 4-6 soulstones that should keep Lady J alive for her to activate and go for the kill.

Well, I did see those exclamation marks too.. but I just figured no new episodes of Aethervox and Cheated Fates... I'll check again later..

Hmm.. against ressers or anyone who uses counters, just have something that eliminates corpse and scrap counters. Corpse counters not as much for obvious reasons. But against Ramos, you will need something that either blows up the counters (Hoffman has that) or simply wipes it out of the board. This way, you can starve the other master of their tools... less spiders and undead minions. My buddy who plays Kirai end up using his own minions to fuel Kirai's Spirit spam...

There is a local Malifaux group in San Jose/Santa Clara area. The Local Gaming Store is called Game Kastle. I played with the local Malifaux group and they are cool to play with. The local henchman Megnc86 (Megan) and TedPro is a local player too. So drop a message to Megan or TedPro and they can set up demo games for you and your buddy. As for basic starter advice.. get at least the mini rulebook ($15), a fate deck and play some games. As for painting advice, you can look up Hot Lead Painting videos.. youtube is an excellent resource. But to get you started, get some primer paint and a few colors that you like. I bought the Privateer Press Formula P3 paints while others prefer the Vallejo or Citabel line of paints. The books, this forum and the podcasts can give you more fluff and background. Also, check out Ratty's site for some resources (crew builders, pdfs and counters).

but, what happened to Nigel?!? Seriously, the Freikorps ad made me want to hire the crew with some very specific skill sets.

Wait for the alt Executioner model to release... the original one was fun to paint but since there's an alt sculpt, why not?

Drain souls - sacrifice up to 3 significant models within 6". and yes, masters can be sacrificed too

Lucius and Lady J combo. Have Lucius activate first then cast Reinforcements on Lady J. Now watch your enemy choose between killing her or Lucius. Actually, I can also see a Lucius and Perdita combo.

Dude, the costumed Hugh Laurie made me laugh... thanks! So I guess the Governor General would be played by Stephen Fry? LOL ---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ---------- LOL I can already hear Buscemi aying Som-er here.. Some-er there...LOL

Dude, I agree with Hugh Laurie as Lucius Matheson... Just watch an episode of House and put a golden mask on him.. LUCIUS! Working at your Seamus line of thinking... how about Johnny Depp (as Willy Wonka but with green suit)? Rorschach as McMourning... WIN!

Hmm.. the Use Soulstone or Cb 4 (and lower) may be great avenues to say that he's not really a swordsman. How about just have a negative flip on attacks and damage flips if he uses on 1 AP. He can FOCUS and then get the positive attack and damage flips... basically making he melee attack a 2 AP action. My vote is for Range Expert or Fast/Nimble. As for the Stalker bombs, perhaps a hybrid of Papa Loco's Take Ya With Me and Flame Wall. So the Spell only targets friendly Witchling Stalkers - target model is Sacrificed triggering Immolating Demise 6" pulse, Dg 3 and place 1 50mm marker within 1" of sacrificed model. This spell can be called - "Die In A Fire!"

Oooh! Milla Jovovich as the Viks! Awesome... Plus, it's easier to find body doubles for Milla as a stand in for the doppelganger...

Hmm.. what's his ss cost? 8-10 ss would be alright I guess. As for Special Forces, I like it. But I'd like to have Arcane Tracker models (if possible) or maybe another rule that prohibits hiring models that are Ca 6 and above. Would there be a restriction for hiring the Hopkins Henchman with a Sonnia Criid crew? Perhaps a Sonnia crew can hire the Arcan Tracker Hopkins only if the crew does not include an avatar..

Maybe a bald Chris Eccleston can be Hoffman... now that's a scrap I want to watch! Hamlin (David Tennant) vs. C. Hoffman (Chris Eccleston) Battle of the Doctors! LOL

Nice! great video!

Maybe, instead of costing 2 ss, it could be a "summoned" Guild Model? Perhaps an errata where Guild Masters can summon an honest citizen to aid in the struggle. I can just imagine Lucius intimidating a citizen to charge an undead zombie or something. so if I summon 2 citizens, I can "make" them into a Guild Guard by using "A Hero Emerges"

I usually play Lucius with Lady J for reasons stated above. HE needs a beat stick to do some real damage. Although, I'm thinking of playing a full Guild Guard crew with Lucius at the helm.

Hmm.. wish list just based on looks... one could hope.. LOL Guild Lady Justice - Christina Hendricks (Madmen) or Jessica Chastain (The Debt) Sonnia Criid - Karen Gillan (Doctor Who - Amy Pond) Perdita Ortega - Zoe Saldana (Avatar, Star Trek, Columbiana) C. Hoffman - Patrick Stewart Lucius - Hugo Weaving Ressers McMourning - Hugh Jackman (X-Men, Wolverine) Nicodem - The Undertaker (LOL) or Gary Oldman Seamus - Collin Farrell or Michael Fassbender (Magneto, X-Men First Class) Kirai - Grace Park (Battlestar Gallactica) Molly - Emily Blunt Arcanists Marcus - Terry Crews (White Chicks) Ramos - Sean Connery or Ian McKellen Rasputina - Gemma Arterton (Clash of the Titans) Collette - Amy Adams or Emma Stone Kaeris - Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Gallactica) Neverborn Zoraida - Hellen Mirren Lilith - Bryce Dallas Howard Dreamer - Jack Gleeson (Joffrey from Game of Thrones) Lord Chompy will be CGI Pandora - Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell from Game of Thrones) Collodi - A very skinny Christian Bale Outcasts The Viks - Scarlet Johansson (double the Scarlet... yes!) Leveticus - Christopher Lee (Saruman) Som'er - Peter Dinklage Hamlin - David Tennant (Doctor Who) Ophelia - Meredith Eaton (Boston Legal) Von Schill - John Malkovich

Awesome work! I love the Sherlock Holmes movie theme....
