Makrar

I think a lot of  the upgrade rules are only in effect upon hiring so once you start the game effects that move upgrades around dont have to follow these restrictions and so you just follow what the card says. (except i think the limit of 1 2 or 3 for enforcers/henchman/masters remain if it doesnt specify otherwise)

(Page 11, 66 and 90 small rulebook) 

Kaeris's pyre markers are a fair bit different to Flame and Ice pillars (they are not impassable so anyone can move through them for a start)

I am actually totally fine with flight and incorporeal models ignoring markers, i just dont want to be in a situation where i go into game, cast the spell and then have it ruled that they can be moved through because it makes "sense" 

I like the story of  all of them except McCabe (just find him boring)

My list is actually really really close to Lunarsols

Played in a tournament this weekend and I tried Dampening Field this weekend against a Ramos Crew, it didnt do anything. I thought it might see some use with negating steam cloud and bleeding edge tech but the range of it really impacted its usefullness in this particular game. I think its potentially situationally awesome tho.

Regarding Expert Sleuth, I didnt take it but i looked for situations that i might want it and sadly i can report that In all the games the (0) action part would of been useless and i think paying 1SS for +2 to one flip is incredibly poor value especially when compared to say Seize the Day (which is amazing btw) Again the range is often not enough, a push is easily stoped by intervening terrain/models and it competes with really good (0) actions on a lot of models. 

A question is, are the markers ht 5 at the point of placing or do you place them as if they where ht 0 then they increase to ht 5

I think it can only be the first and so as long as any part of the marker in LOS then you can place it

Im willing to believe this is maybe not intended though

Put simply can models with Flight and/or Incorporeal move through a flame wall?

I was under the impression you could not do this but this was ruled against me at a tournament this weekend

So i wanted to see if my interpretation is right and i believe it is for the following reasons

For reference a Flame Wall markers are Ht 5 and have the blocking and impassable traits

A Marker does not count as terrain (Page 56 of the mini rulebook)

A model can move over and stop on Markers. A Marker is ignored for movement purposes (but terrain below the Marker is not). (Page 64)

However i think the impassable rule trumps the above bit 

Flight rules are as 

Colette - The new issue command master!

Compare most of the totems to say Old Cranky from Gremlins (Enslaved Neph holds its own tho)

How much to ship the Hannah to the UK?

Words for the word god!

(AKA Dont quote beta rules)

I find its usually the same players rather then factions that win/place high

Page 12 in the Mini rulebook

"When the rules refer specifically to a fate deck card's suit they are referring to the printed suit on the Fate's Deck card."

This to me would mean that a red joker does not count as a suit in tannens "leave it to luck" as the rule is specificialy referring to the card flipped/played suit

Thanks for the quick reply Inquisitor.

I am going to get the full 2nd edition rule book as I like the look of all the fluff that it has in it. Is it easy to tell which crews have the 2e mark on them when buying online? I would buy from a brick and mortar shop but I don't know of anywhere local that sells them.

Hi

There is a brick and mortar store that sells Malifaux in Tamworth

http://www.titangamesuk.co.uk/

There is also a group of us who play occasionally at Walsall every friday  

If you need an intro or advice or anything then let me know and ill sort something out (as i work in tamworth i can get to their local club or titans store if needed)

Friend of mine ordered stuff almost a year ago. His order was missing quite a lot, and they never anwered or addressed the issue. Based on his experience, and the complete lack of caring that the company seems to have for customer satisfaction, I try to steer everyone clear from AD. There are other companies out there who make product just as good that actually seem to care.

This

Ordered a few years back in the Black Friday sale, Order was sent 2+ months later, When it arrived not only was half the order missing but they put a completely incorrect cost on the customs declaration (a lot higher then what was paid) which ended up costing me extra money in fees.

Also add the fact they have never answered any emails i have sent

My advice? Avoid

Silent does not work because the Watchers "Always Watching" ability does not target. 

If the Silurid doesnt have cover then it cant be ignored by other models

At least thats how i read it

As a predominantly Sonnia player, i can honestly say that ive never felt Burning to be overpowered (nor has any of my opponents). If there is a problem (and I'm not convinced there is due to the amount of AP needed to do the hypothetical situations stated in this thread) then its a Kaeris problem and not specifically burning.

here are some of the downsides to burning compared to normal damage.

Kills caused by the Burning condition do count as being caused by a model (Firestarter mitigates this a lot but this is still huge in some strats/schemes)

Anyone can lower burning with an interact

You get to activate normally while you are burning

Some models are immune to Burning full stop!

Obviously to make up for this models that are based around burning usually get bonuses against Burning models but i think in the end  the bonuses roughly balances with the above downsides.

The damage inflicted is not really that different to just straight up damage flips imo.

I also echo Masterdiasters comment about Guild Riflemen with Lucius (and dashel) as their shots hit accurately and the damage can quickly becomes 3/4/6 (or 4/5/7 if you flip/cheat a !). Other then that i think your sorted really in the short/medium term (on the guild side at least). I would just avoid going to gunline heavy with him as you will need some combat potential or you run the risk of getting shut down easily the moment someone gets into your models (and you need to score vp). I would take at least 1 Witchling Stalker (just a great minion overall) and a death marshall is well worth considering for pine box shenanigans 

I have never run him as Neverborn so i dont really have any extra insight to add for that side of him.

I will be Guild or Ressers, not sure yet

Payment sent !

Just been spoiled on Twitter..

Wow! After the disapointment of collette and shenlong, this has made up for it. WTB NOW

Paid! 

are there many players in birmingham? 

There is about 5 of us who play at Warlords of Walsall (details can be found here http://notthatwow.co.uk/)

They are actually incredibly hard to take out as you can use the place to bounce around to very hard to reach places if needs be. They are really good for scheme marker heavy schemes and will very likely get you the vps for those.

From my (limited) experience, Performers only really shine with Guild McMourning. I think for 1SS less in Ressers you get Nurses and/or Rotten Belles which are just better for the cost you pay.

Me like!
