Page 221....awesome. Thank you!

Hello,  

Looking for some help. I can't find, in new book, how to add suits to a skill.  Page 286 has wording stating this is possible below the double tome "surge" example. 

Any ideas where it is?

Thank you!

To combat model bloat, what I'd like to see is stronger synergy between thematic models and masters, but still have some 'wildcard' models that work across masters within a faction.

There's... not nearly as much synergy with the Mature Nephilim, or any Nephilim, and Lilith. For this reason she's a very popular master without her thematic Nephilim. She doesn't do any more for them than she does for other Neverborn in general. Barbaros is considered more of a model for Titania these days, and Nekima is generaly fielded with any crew. Now that's not bad that there's synergies outside of their thematic crew, but to have so little in your thematic crew creates more of a bloat 

I COMPLETELY agree. I got into the game for the amazing theme, but that has gone for power gaming. Make changes to support and promote thematic play.  As it stands, I am losing interest in the game and can't find players.

I am in Illinois and looking for games.  Jacksonville Illinois.

Sonnia is a blaster with a burning theme. Other models (Kaeris for example) use burning far more effectively.

I agree with Clockwork.  I guess I don't get the Sonnia burning vs. non-burning argument.

Yes she doesn't have the synergy of some other condition masters, but the burning tokens help.

I usually bring  Witchling Stalkers and a Handler because they are excellent models for the price and just so happen to help Sonnia with burning, not because they burn.  I have summoned stalkers and it is nice when it happens, but I don't plan on that as a necessity.   

So I suggest you not making a "burning list", but don't shy away from some models that would be in that list if you don't make a "burning list".

Also, Sonnia brings many more options than Perdita.  

LOL....

I just bought an old metal version on Ebay.  My son really want the KIN.  Putting these together for his present so I can get them painted.  

Now I have a broken gun. It was difficult to get the barrels off the sprue.  I have been modeling for years and built figs for TONS of game.

But I would love to know WHY the design for his gun?  

(Fanboys... no need to brag about how easy it was for you.)

Sorry for the tone, but tired of spendng good money of figs for an amazing game and spending time extremely frustrated because Wyrd intentionally makes things difficult.  I am not gaming to be a modeler.  

I was frustrated at the archers helmets.. but this is MUCH worse.

I just want to know why these ridiculous designs?

Awesome stuff.  This will really help in running a campaign.

There is simply too much unknown in the Malifaux world.  I hope that they explain and answer a lot in up coming books.

Von Schills augmented jump is very similar.   

I think we will end up not having the roof on for most of the games.  The fighting will be inside.

Yes it is as designed.  The look is tremendous.  It also is a great size for a 3x3 table and works well with the walkways.  But I am considering making the crow's nest accessible.  Hans or December Acolytes up there might be game changers.  Also, rules for LOS will be needed.

I am downloading the program now. Plan on getting online to play

Thanks.. I changed my title.

This does seem to be a "house rule" issue.  There is obviously a blind spot below the crow's nest

I apologize that I posted another question with same title just now.  It is for a different issue, but I wish I would have named it differently

Crud... just noticed that someone else is asking a different questions with same title.  I am so sorry.

I am trying to rename this but cant find out how to do that.

Hello,  I have recently bought the Plast Craft Malifaux terrain (GREAT STUFF!)

But it has led to some interesting questions on vantage, vantage with walls, LOS, "blond spots" etc.

I added a discussion post with pictures on how we handle walls, but I would like a rules answer on how to handle the following.  Do either have LOS to each other?  If not, how is that determined?  If so, what if the Judge moved next to the wall.  How is that determined?

Thank you for any answers on this and on thoughts on my other post.

Must listen to the Breachside Broadcasts.  They give a tremendous flavor to the world and do cover some interesting fluff.

Thanks for the input Hagisman.  I don't think that there is a direct rule about this.

Per the rules I think that we would just ignore the wall completely and only use it for cover versus people on the same "level" or HT.

I have attached a picture to show what we use.  

Normally, without the railing, the Marshall would be on Ht2 Vantage point and have to be within 2 inches of the ledge since he is Ht2.  

But with a Ht 1 railing(wall) it possibly changes things. Yes the rules can still be played the same and the wall can be ignored for vantage, but I like the following.  It is easy and works for the system.

Take the Ht 1 wall away from his Ht 2 model size.  Now he is effectively Ht1 above the wall and he now needs to be 1 inch from the ledge.  

If it were a Ht 3 model with a Ht 1 wall... his effective size is Ht 2 and he needs to be 2 inches removed.

This has a Ht 1 model being effective Ht 0 and not able to use the vantage point since they can't see over the wall.

The rules don't discuss vantage in much detail at all, and maybe the simple rules play the best.

So I can summon a Dead Doxy with Arise my Sweet?

That changes my next order from an extra box of Rotten Belles to a box of Doxies.

Tom.. Where are you located.  Central Illinois here 

Sorry, I thought the issue was clear.  How to handle a vantage point with a wall on the edge of the vantage point.  The rules only show the vantage point without any wall.  

We have been using the wonderful plast craft terrain for Malifaux. The terrain includes many vantage points with railings.  Therefore you have a Ht 3 vantage point with a Ht 1 railing.  This can be tough to handle.  I love the simplicity of the game versus true eye level LOS, and wanted a quick easy answer.  

Pin this we are assuming blocking railings/walls not simple see through railings.  

If this is covered in the rules I haven't found it.  There are interpretations and I welcome your thoughts, but this is a quick easy fix:

We take the HT of the wall away from the Ht of the figure and that is the Ht the model must be from the ledge.

Example (Ht 3 terrain with Ht 1 wall):

Ht 2 model must now be within 1 inch of the railing.  That simple (if this is already answered somewhere and I missed it, I apologize). 

Ht 1 model must be range 0. Therefore they can't see over.  

This still doesn't answer the shadow aspect that some games have.... But that is for another post. 

Added!  Thanks

I thought the same, but there could be the situation where an enemy uses the ability on an allies card.  Also, the ally could be mind controlled. So the wording isn't useless. 

I agree.  As written the placement effect is being generated by an enemy model, even when it is an ally that is placed.
