@Nathan Caroland is being a wicked tease. My guess (hope?) would be that there's some news coming in the near future.

Privateer Press now has a tool on their website where you can print all the stat cards you need. We need this for Malifaux. http://cards.privateerpress.com/

Oh, you are horrible, @Nathan Caroland!

Thread necromancy here (hmm, maybe I should Resurrectionists, ah, but which one...?) Any significant news here, @Nathan Caroland ?

Not arguing these points, it just seemed odd that the summon ability wasn't built into one of them given that Banasuva's his totem.

Banasuva's card says that it can't be hired but there's nothing on Sandeep or Banasuva's card about how it gets summoned. Is the only way for it to enter play through the To Behold Another World or To Command Another Plane actions? It seems pretty lame that he has to attach an upgrade to use his totem. And the duel total is pretty steep to get it in play (18!), plus you have to damage another gamin to do so. Am I reading this right?

I support this decision, but my problem is that my lgs has a very limited selection of Malifaux, and can be very slow on special orders. Metal gamin? About a week. Reverend Custodier for my Infinity? Over two months.

Looking forward to this as well! Also @Nathan Carolanda stickied post on the subject might be useful. Malifaux is currently not very active here, but I have high hopes of its resurrection!

Agreed, very situational but still useful.

One of my instructors in college actually took the job here even though it was at a lower salary because we have so many clear nights. He was freaking awesome.

I feel I should clarify this a bit - if I do ditch the KS, it's because I'm buying my daughter a telescope. Ah, the joys of fatherhood. I'm not bailing on you guys without a good reason, honest!

I like the pre-assembled minis. My hands shake a bit, so one less thing I have to deal with there... Plus less time between purchase and being able to play is good. I may have to back off from the KS, sadly. An opportunity to pick up a piece of equipment I've been looking for at a good price has come up, so priorities.

Not quite. If you end up with a tome and a ram, you can declare a tome trigger and a ram trigger, but you can't declare two different tome triggers from the same tome. It's 'used up' if you will. Kind of like margin triggers eat up margin when you declare them.

Good point. I suppose the better question is, how many is it worth getting? We haven't seen the stat card for them, so who knows?

At first, I was really in love with Abyssinia, but now I'm liking Keng's Empire more and more. Still a big Gibbering Hordes fan.

Updated for the new commander unlocks now. Curiously, the Cult of the Burning Man continues to lag behind on scrip value in the sets: King's Empire: 38 scrip Abyssina: 37 scrip Gibbering Hordes: 37 scrip Cult of the Burning Man: 36 scrip

I'll update this as soon as the new official update comes through. (Looking at the new stretch goal map, we haven't seen the stat cards for the freebie Cult or Hordes squads yet.)

A touch of thread necromancy here... I'm excited to see an app coming for Malifaux. But as others have said, I hope Wyrd has learned from the mistakes of War Room. Pricing - War Room is extremely expensive. I've no objection to paying for the app, but being expected to pay that much is really annoying, especially now that PP isn't including physical cards with their models. Yes, they'll have POD and print-and-play cards, but it's not the same. And I understand that it's a cost-saving measure for them as well, but still... Software Engine - A decent chunk of the fundamental problems with War Room come from it being built on the Unity Engine. Unity makes a great engine for games, but isn't a good choice for a utility app like War Room. Honestly, I'm hoping that we end up with something like Guild Ball Manager, Infinity Army (which is mobile-friendly, and is in development as a ported app), or even an upgraded version of CrewFaux. If you'll check those out, you'll find it's possible to get a lot of utility and even damage tracking in something that's very light-weight. And yes, I'm picky about apps, it's an occupational hazard given that I work in software development.

I just noticed this, but the Media page on the website has a section for videos with a note that they're working on video contennt. Well, we have some now for TOS!

I just checked out the Glory side for the King's Hand. Both its new ability and the Superheavy Gatling Gun have a really sweet margin trigger: "(5) Awestruck: Target friendly unit with a fireteam within 8" flips to Glory." A trigger that flips a nearby unit to Glory? Awesome! (Note for admins we need some new board emojis for TOS. Morale action symbol, Glory flip, that sort of thing.)

Updated for new unit costs for Stalking Portals, Striped Skulkers.

I imagine we'll see some sort of printable bases to use for fireteams. I've certainly got enough other figs that could be used to stand in for fireteam members. I wonder if my archangel would mind standing in for some of the larger models?

This, oh so much. It's why I switched over to skirmish games Malifaux and Infiinty (and possibly TOS, I have yet to convince the wife!) . I just don't have time to paint boxes and boxes and boxes of guys.

The Burning Man is the Governor-General? When did that come out?

Seems legit. While the gibbering hordes are probably strongest in Europe, there's oceans worldwide.
