My most pressing concern is if the Horsemen list will still be possible.

I have been playing mostly Outcasts and Molly lately. A little sad to see Molly moving away from summoning. I am excited for the Outcasts - I gladly accept the trade of Misaki for Zipp - Welcome home little buddy! I do hope that the Leveticus Horsemen list will still be able to happen. I love that list and have been having loads of fun with it in both casual play and tourneys.

I started Malifaux just after Book 4 of M1.5 was released, just as plastic crews were starting to come out. Less than a year after I started, M2E was announced. Being my first minis game, I didn't know what to expect with an edition change, so I just rolled with it - and M2E has been great! And I still enjoy it, and will still play it, but the same cannot be said for others in my playgroup (14ish regulars that come to the shop, we play a wide variety of games, and about 10 are/were Malifaux players). Unfortunately, Malifaux has been on the downswing lately, and I do hope that M3E is the fresh start that draws players back in. As far as what has been teased with the announcement - I like it so far. I like the faction shake-up and trimming the conditions down to a set number. I am curious to see how the tokens play out. I want to see more before I pass any further judgement.

The summer is flying by. I missed painting for June, which was my second mulligan. With July nearly half over, here is my pledge for my month to not get the boot from the party. Marlena Webster - 8 SS Serena Bowman - 7 SS Desperate Mercenary - 3 SS

Hey Gang, Look how not dead I am! Can't say the same for my pledges though... I present to you Sloth 8SS and Toshiro the Daimyo 9SS. A total of 17SS for May. Sloth: Toshiro: Sloth, Toshi, and the Tikis:

I am not sure what happened in April, but I just didn't ever get to picking up the brush until the very end of the month, and only got a base coat on my pledges. Re-upping Toshiro and Sloth for my May pledge.

I am prepared for April! More undead things - Toshiro and Sloth for 17SS

Thanks for pointing that out, I have fixed it. Our team went 2-1-1, playing horror Molly and Reva. We won Best in Show for Ressurs having the best record of the Ressur teams (at least two others). Round 1 (Interception) we faced a very nasty Raspy Colette combo. Near the end of turn 3: Raspy activated and shot 3+ times (overpower trigger), Colette Prompts Raspy for another shot, buying the reactivate trigger. Raspy activates again, shoot 3+ times again. We were more-or-less tabled at that point, lost 3 - 8. Round 2 (Public Execution) we faced Raspy Sandeep. We were able to mitigate the Raspy threat since she was so fresh in our minds from the previous game. This game was a super fun game of cat and mouse where we had mirror scheme selections - Elim Leadership (Raspy/Molly) and Undercover Entourage (Reva/The Captain). We tied this one 5-5. My favorite moment here was when a half dead Molly was engaged with Banasuva and they have declared for Elim. My partner: "You gotta get her outta there! Banasuva can't cheat (due to his upgrade). Just take walks, you'll win the disengaging strikes." Me: "Okay." Then proceeds to do none of that. Molly focuses and hits non-cheating Banasuva with a Revalation. I hit severe on the damge track (I don't remember if I cheated or if it was a natural flip). Then, summon a 1 wound Kentauroi near Molly and Banasuva. Molly 0s to make the Kentauroi take a walk, Molly Zombie steeds. Accomplice into the Kentauroi for another walk and steed, and gets far away from the thick of the battle. Round 3 (Guard the Stash) we faced Dreamer and Titania. These were pretty new players, but fun opponents. we won 6-0. Round 4 (Headhunter) we faced Colette and Ironsides (so many Arcanists!) this was a bloody game - corpse and head markers everywhere! Super fun game. Along with the heroics of the Punk Zombie, the Carrion Emissary was our other hero in this game. Carrion was our Sucker for Take One for the Team. He was mostly receiving attacks from Oxfordian Mages and Ironsides. He got down to Hard to Kill near the beginning of Turn 3, but was able to get the kill shot on Ironsides and hang on until Turn 4. In Turn 4, an attack by Colette was the only model eligible that would get us the full vp for Take One for the Team. After doing some prompts, Colette decided to take a pot shot at Carrion with her Sabre Trick 0. She hits! - we internally cheer! She flips Black Joker on damage! We fake cheer while we internally sob. Carrion eventually went down to an Ox Mage for 2 VP. Good stuff!

Page 11 from the Gaining Grounds document: "If any two Schemes would earn any VP off the same model being killed or sacrificed, you must choose only one of your Schemes to score from." Looks like you can only score from one of them.

Here are my bonus models: The Forgotten Marshal and a Gaki. I did get them done in time for Adepticon, just ran out of time to upload the pics. 11 more soul stones to the pile for a total of 37. Adepticon was a great time - as always! I played in the team tourney on Fri and Story encounter tourney on Sun. This was the fifth year of Team Tourney, and my partner and I (we have been teamed up the past 5 years) agreed that this is was our favorite year of team tourneys to date. The highlight for me was my hired punk zombie in turn four. One member of the opposing side asked "Who hires a punk zombie?" And then this happens: Turn 1: Two Kentaurois moved up, Sybelle and Punk Zombie using Zombie Steeds to ride along. Howard pitches imbued for fast, double walk and charge the Kentauroi that ferried the Punk Zombie (the Kentauroi survived at 1 wound). Punk Flurries. Sybelle Calls Belle to teleport Molly. Molly walks, gives Reactivate to Howard Punk Zombie, and Whispers a secret to Howard. Accomplice into Punk Zombie. Punk flurries again, killing Howard. Turn 2: Molly uses her 0 to have the Punk Take a walk to engage an Ox Mage. Accoomplice into Punk Zombie. Punk Zombie flurries, killing the Mage. Turn 3: Molly uses her 0 to have the Punk Take a walk to engage Ironsides. Accoomplice into Punk Zombie. Flurry onto Ironsides, bringing her down to Hard to Kill (Elim Leadership target. She was eventually killed by the Carrion Emissary for full VP) That Punk Zombie did some work! Now that Adepticon has come and gone, I no longer have a specific event to drive what to paint... I wonder what April will hold?

Bonus Pledge time! Working on slamming these out in time for Adepticon!

And Chiaki done for 6SS, this completes my pledge of 26SS. Plenty of time to work on bonus models (the Forgotten Marshal and a Gaki)

Here are the Dead Doxies, complete for 12 more SS. Puts me at 20 SS for the month. The one holding her head up was not assembled well - the hands and head did not line up, to the point that her left hand is not even touching the head! Ah well, it happens. Now on to Chiaki - the last planned model I want done before Adepticon.

No pictures or promises, but I suspect the Dead Doxies will be complete tonight. I also plan to start on Chiaki! ... and maybe The Forgotten Marshal

Autopsies done for 8SS! These were a quick paint job complete in just a couple hours. I can't tell if I am getting efficient or lazy with my painting haha
