Not sure if I missed something but I thought an insignifcant model can pick up the treasure? The only thing is it only counts as being 'carried' if the model holding it at the end of the game is significant.

is there an easy way to tell if the cards I have are v1 or v2? You guys got me worried I might have the wrong ones

Sounds interesting and limited model numbers will help a beginner like me to learn the mechanics without getting overwhelmed. I should be able to make this event but will confirm after the weekend. Michael PS would be using Ramos

I am based in South Essex near Grays. I would be interested in some mid week games but my weekends are full already. Keep me posted. And to be fair if we are not too far apart then I would be happy to get some games in after the event too, just to keep my hand in. Michael

I have tried to get to grips with Vassel in the past for 40k but I find that I really do not have the time to learn how to even use it. Computers games and the like do not come easy to me. Well I was fine back in the day with my zx Spectrum, up down left right and fire. Sorted. But now everything feels too complex. OMG I sound like an OAP

Not sure if you got my message. But I am Michael Nicholls ---------- Post added at 06:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 AM ---------- Managed to get my first game in for ages. Chatting with the guys at Manufactured Conflict we think it has been about 8 months since I was down there last. Anyway, I have been skipping through the rule book and was getting concerned that it was all feeling like gibberish but I ended up playing a first time player so we were able to take things slow and took the time to check the rules each time we were not sure. Which was OFTEN. Not entirely sure how much I (re)learned but it must have helped. I have a new found respect for Perdita. Well ok so it was the first time I played against her so it was all new and funky. Also my opponent was using the Pale Rider which was benefiting each time I made my swarms up and I think also when the electrical creation popped etc. The Steamborg had a great time and turn 4 saw him get Decapitate trigger off 3 times in the same activation. Unfortunately because we were playing slow we only got to turn 4 and I think I would have been able to complete my strategy by getting him to plant some evidence and a scheme if Perdita and the Pale Rider could kill Ramos in the final turns. Not to worry, because the score was not important for me. I just needed to learn to play. Mission success. Same again next Tuesday me thinks. Michael

Epic hobby fail this weekend. Did not get any of my crew painted. Will have to hope for some time during the week to get something done

Ok so I finally got a chance to look at the rule book and the stratagies to work out what counters I need to make. From what I can gather I will need to make a Wagon, 1 treasure counter, 3 evidence markers and a claim marker. Along with as many scrap counters as I have models that could drop them. I will have to look through the schemes too in case there are other markers I need to make. Unless someone out there has any hints? Really looking forward to this event. Although a little concerned that there will be a lot of 'good' players rather than newbies like myself. Not to worry, after the first game I am sure to be fighting everyone off for last place. I plan to go along to Manufactured Conflict (a wargames centric club in Dartford Kent) for the next couple of Tuesday nights to re-learn how to play this game. Just so I don't look like a complete %$£& (insert your favourite expletive here) I will also find a place on here to add some photos of my crew as I get them painted up this weekend. Finally thanks for taking the time to answer my dumb ass questions. Michael

Hmmmm. Challenge accepted Thanks guys. I have some spare 30mm bases because I mounted my models on resin bases. I will make as many as I can from stuff in my bitz boxes. As for the supply wagon, is it a problem if the wagon overhangs the 50mm base a little? I have a cool idea if only I can find the bitz I know I have somewhere. Thanks Michael

Hi guys. Just a bit of a dumb question but as time is getting short I need to do the least amount of work possible. With a Ramos crew what counters/markers do it need to provide? The specifics do not seem to be listed on the event pack but if I can not make use of body part/corpse counters then I guess I do not need to provide my own? Just the Scrap counters right? Anything else I need to make on the quick? Thanks Michael

Yes paid for ticket. I have confirmation email etc. Michael

I will be at this event and hope it will help me to learn the rules. I have only had 4 games and three of those were in one day about a year ago. Oops. Better read the rule book again. Having trouble working out if I can summon 2 different types of model? I will be using Ramos who can summon more spiders from scrap counters but I would also want to summon the electrical creation too. Is that ok? The list I plan to use will be Ramos Steamborg Executioner Mobile Toolkit 4 Steampunk Arachnids and summon the Electrical Creation. Leaves me with just 2 SS's but seeing as I never know when I should use them I can just forget about them. Is this list legal under the rules pack? Hope so. See you in a couple of weeks. I will fight you off with my wooden spoon.

Hi Guys. I got to use this trigger last night in a game. Ok so it was only my second ever Malifaux game so I still don't have a clue. Anyway, I charge a convict gunslinger, that I needed to kill for 2vp but while I was thinking about what I needed to do I saw the trigger and the fact that I had high enough cards (and the correct suit obviously) for the decapitate trigger as well. About 3" behind the gunslinger was Lady J and I remembered the bad things she did to me in my first game. So I got greedy, pushed the gunslinger out of the way (no damage and no VP ooops) charged Lady J. Attacked, hit and was about to lop her head off when I reminded my opponent (also a fairly new player) that he can up his duel score by using a soul stone and adding to the total. Which he promptly defended against and killed the attack. Then just as promptly killed the Steamborg in her next activation. Lesson learned. Don't take eye off prize. Kill things that will give me VP. Also I was getting excited reading about the moving Ramos about shenanigans. Because that was another problem I had. During the game there were plenty of scrap counters but none were near to Ramos as he was staying back out of harms way (or so he thought) making more spiders and electrical creations. Now I have a little more experience (2 games, both losses and still not got to the end of Book 1 let alone the rules manual) I will make the effort to be more active on the forum and ask dumb questions in all the wrong places.
