Really? Then welcome to a forum not full of douchebags! Nice Avatar by the way

It's a pretty useful ability. Chances of you wanting to cheat in a card for a 3SS minion from your hand is slim so it gives you an extra chance at making them do something useful. If they still fail well that's what you always expect them to do anyway! Somer doesn't use it as much as you'll usually be happier to cheat cards from your hand but if you've got a poor control hand or no cards at all then it's always nice to get an extra shot at something.

Bayou two card allows you to cheat with the top card of your deck instead of with your hand. You cannot choose to do both. So if you flip a duel and want to cheat then you can either cheat from your hand or you can flip over the top card of the deck. You do not get to look at the card on the top of your deck and decide whether to use it, once it's flipped it becomes your new card, you can't decide that you don't like it (because you have already cheated) and discard it. You can use Bayou Two Card when you have no cards in your control hand.

Man, my FLGS is showing the releases as either coming 18th August or 25th August now. Anybody heard/seen anything else? Looks like another delay - boo.

I love this. I really really *really* hope that they release a plastic Molly set for Gencon as I really want a new version of her and plastic Crooligans. Please make my day Wyrd

Could be read either way, I'm hoping that set number of crew boxes means set number of different boxes rather than set total number all of which will be Somer boxes. Guess we'll find out soon enough (hopefully)

Note that only the attacker can declare triggers in this way though, so if the defender has any in-built then they won't get to use them. If you want to get a defensive trigger off then you can opt to flip for the duel as normal (and cheat both/either totals if you choose).

Not that I know of. I thought the initial announcement was that it would be June/July crew boxes that would get her (if bought from FLGS) but with the delays it has thrown everything out. Wasn't sure whether she was going to be in more than just Somer. Will probably hold off buying the Kin if she's not in there.

My FLGS (Firestorm Games) have them due tomorrow on their website and are going to be giving me a call to let me know when they're in as there's quite a few things I'm after. Wayland Games (who despite being crap usually have good release info) have some of the stuff available for order now (but on an approximate 3-9 day dispatch) and rest due August 8th. These are also both UK but as MasterDisaster says this is subject to change, especially with Wyrd releases at the moment. Fingers crossed they are immanent though. As a side note and to double check - Johana should be in boxes of The Kin too shouldn't she?

Not sure on the rules for drinking contest but Manipulate treats the charge and each attack as separate doesn't it? So if you wanted to charge something with Manipulative you would take one test to declare the charge (wasting the (2) AP it costs to charge if you fail) then you would need to declare once for each attack as they are treated as separate because passing a Manipulative duel doesn't make you immune to the ability.

Could be a possibility then. I doubt we'll get the things that I'm after as Ressers have got a fair bit of M2E love already but be nice if they have a variety of items available.

I sing this every time I use it or it gets talked about. It's stuck in my head right now in fact!

Rebel Yell is an attack action and you can't target yourself with attacks. The heal is Open Revolt as above.

Yeah, the too short/long is always a problem. I'm hoping to run something that just encourages us to play a bit differently and maybe offers some motivations for painting too. I'll shoot you a PM now (don't think I've seen your sig before otherwise, you know.....!)

Lazarus is ace for Bodyguard for reasons 1, 2 and 5 above! I like to use him in my Outcast crews with either the Steamtrunk or a Librarian following him around just in case!

Exciting! Those Cosplay's are awesome! I love the Mortimer dude who obviously wouldn't be allowed to take an actual spade so is improvising grandly! Here's a question - will there be minion boxes available during Gencon? I think previously there's just been crew boxes plus the NE and Miss (who is free) right? I'd love to get some (very selfish post coming here) plastics for Drowned, Crooligans and Guild Autopsies as I'm not a fan of the current metals and really want to use them!

Happens to me pretty much every time! Royal Mail are pretty vigilant as they charge £8 ($12) just for the privilege of you going to the post office to pay your customs! I will let you know once I've seen the actual miniature if that's cool dude (plus I need to save my finds for Gencon!).

Hi guys Can anybody point me in the right direction/give me some ideas for good leagues or campaigns? Some friends and I play pretty regularly and I think it would be good to try to get some sort of linked games going on as we used to love Warhammer Quest/Necromunda etc. Has anybody played in leagues or campaigns and can give some thoughts on positive/negative aspects of them? Thanks

What's it called again?! And how much?

Engaging Frozen Heart models means she can't use her to cast spells which helps a lot but then them being dead helps even more! Shooting or Casting at Raspy is usually better than melee too if she's got Sub Zero (which is horrible).

Don't like the silly blade for a horn on the horse's head but that's easily enough removed but otherwise it's ok. There's a really good Confrontation miniature I was thinking of using as a Dead Rider though so I may just end up using that (when I can remember what it's called and where I found it!)

If you're running them as TT Archers are a pretty solid choice. The double focus is quite nice for when you want to make sure you can some good damage to something (they get an extra +1 focus first time they take the focus action). They can also shoot into combat which is useful when you have a lot of melee based guys. Otherwise Convict Gunslinger as mentioned or Freikorps Trapper. Desperate Mercenaries might be worth a punt for some cheap(ish) options although they're not as reliable as the other options mentioned.

Thanks for all the advice folks. Think I'll try giving them a run out in some non-killy schemes and see how it goes.

Isn't keeping the Viks together one of fundamental ways of using them? Or would you only represennt splitting them for non-killy missions?

I wouldn't count on this. Art for things like Flesh Constructs contained just one image in the Arsenal decks/book but with the alternative Flesh Construct you got the second image contained within the box. Other examples include things like Convict Gunslingers and Desperate Mercs. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same thing happen again which means the art has been spoiled is more likely to see boxes in my book.
