  1. I suspect that could be a scenario faced by several highly versatile masters? It's not a bad place to be really and from a casual play perspective, this Zip will be as fun as the first.
  2. Am I right in thinking that you can choose to take the damage from her shockwave, place 1" from the trigger, allowing you to use the rift to place 8"? I am wondering if this, or anything else is a way of getting the 8" place during Asami's activation. Seems like a really fun idea but my fear is that the enemy can simply remove a rift before you have a chance to use it defensively to pull a model out. Offensively I suspect posession is a better way of launching a model forward though purely theorycraft at this point.
  3. Hi, thanks for the replies, I guess what I meant to say was which of the two would be a useful drop into bad strat/scheme pools for Wong I have done some reading and the concensus seems to be that Mah and Zipp can do anything so either is probably fine. I am having a nightmare choosing a pair to get started with.
  4. Apologies for the ever posted question! I am looking at playing a few practice games and for now I have Wizz-bang with most of the trimmings. I am looking at having something to nicely compliment Wong's playstyle (loosing according to forum :D) and have my eye on Infamous or Tricksy. Love both themes and models. Thanks.
  5. Thanks, that's really helpful. I haven't found Brewmaster to be too NPE myself but that's probably because I mainly use him for obey, swill, pay up and binge (plus heals and moon shinobi pushes). I rarely try to play drinking contest style and his 2nd zero is really good imo. I will look into getting ophelia first I think. She seems like a perfect balance of silly fun and puzzle solving. I am a tad sad that both Ulix and Mah weren't mentioned, are they very straightforward in their approach?
  6. I currently play Ten Thunders (Asami, Brewmaster and McCabe). I took a bit of a plunge into Neverborn and found them not to my taste, I loved their tricks and thoughtful play opportunities but I find the excessive reliability a tad mundane (lots of high attack stats and things that don't even require a duel). Hence my interest in Gremlins, I like the idea of a faction with lower reliability and fun moments of unexpected kills etc. I just worry that maybe they are simple and whacky. Can gremlins still give that experience of trickery and thoughtful play? If it helps I am currently interested in Wong, Mah, Brewie, Ulix and possibly Ophelia. I think Zipp might be the ticket but I heard he is kinda a NPE for my opponent.
  7. thanks guys, I am liking both the Rackham miniature and the washed out harlequin. I'll give both a go and see which I want to stick with
  8. I had the idea to paint Asami's Oni to be more ghost/daemon like and I wondered if anyone has any advice on how to try and paint things to look like it has limited physical presence. I tried hunting around and only managed to find tutorials on LotR models and it wasn't really the look I wanted. Is it mostly a case of using heavily washed out colours with extreme highlights? what base coat colour works best? white?
  9. I am playing a game shortly TT vs Guild. Our pool is reckoning, plant explosives, protect territory, Bodyguard, plant evidence and line in the sand. I was planning to run Asami. model pool: sensei yu sun quiang wrath of oni mei feng box brewmaster box tengu x3 jorogumo x3 yamaziko toshiro punk zombie x3 dawm serpent terracota warrior x3 fermented monk x3

  11. That's a shame, I really hoped Yin was a viable alternative to Izamu as while Izamu is clearly excellent I find him a bit uninspired and boring but I guess for Yan Lo there's no way around that...
  12. So I was hoping for a bit of advice on what to grab next. I am currently in possession of Brewmaster box, 3 fermented monks, 3 terracotta warriors, shenlong box, wind serpent, yamaziko, sun quiang, and toshiro. I plan to buy some TT brothers and then either maccabe box or yan lo box. Depending on the master I will grab either yin/izamu or some guild hounds. Would also appreciate if yin or izamu are going to be a better call as I doubt I can fit both. Thanks in advance
  13. Newbie looking for a practice game. Uk Time zone. I only have the original schemes and strats for now so no headhunter etc.
  14. As title. I like to watch games and hear discussions and the Malifools is the only Malifaux themed discussion I know of which is mostly about tournies from what I can tell. Thanks.
  15. Looking for a game in the next few hours.
  16. Damn I forgot to check back on this thread or I would have come down to Wayland's Forge... Any luck with the demos? I am looking to meet people that play down that way if possible. I have been going to Walsall club and it is great but something a bit closer to me would certainly be good as I currently travel on the train.
  17. I have those listed ofc as well as essence of power, blessed of december, a bunch of Marcus' models (his old box set) plus raptors, a full 1.5 raspy starter box with snow storm (yeah, be jealous! that old school golem model is soooo sexy ). Not a lot else in the Ramos area to be honest. I inherited some models from someone that quit so it's a bit of a mix of things! I have an extra metal gamin, 2 more union miners, a truck load of arachnids, a swarm arachnid, rail golem (I can proxy the ice golem model np). I can't really take many things I haven't already chosen, just maybe switch the quantities of models around a bit. I did consider essence of power.. the +to SS flips and +1 ca seem really nice for summoning things but I guess 3 SS is a lot for that. Thanks for the toolkit tip! Unfortunately I don't have one or a suitable proxy so not an option at the moment. Stuck with Mr Arachnid for now. I chose Ramos to start because he looked way simpler to learn than Marcus (who I think is a boss but complicated and squishy) and Rasputina I would want some Silent Ones or those guys with harpoon guns (I forget the name) before I gave her a spin. Honestly I don't like playing 50ss while learning the game much but my club members are all wanting to play at that level so it is a necessary evil. Thanks MrFox for changing the title!
  18. EDIT: Sorry! I meant Ramos Crew! I am playing a game this week, seeing as I am new we have agreed to pre-determine the strat and schemes to give me more time to come up with a crew. Strat: Squatter's Rights Schemes: Choosing LiTS and Protect Territory Crew: Ramos (7stones) -Field Generator -Under Pressure -Combat Mechanic Joss -Open Current -Cutting Edge Tech Ice Golem -Imbued Energies 2x Metal Gamin Union Miner 1 Steam Arachnid Does this seem okay? Plan is for Joss to charge Steam Arachnid turn 1 generating 2 scrap. Possible issues I foresee, I am slow... is this a problem for Squatter's rights? I was going for a durable crew in the hope of getting full vp for protect territory and LiTS but I will likely be fighting to get a hold of the squat markers. Other possible issue is I feel I might have too many stones in upgrades but I feel super attached to them! I am not expecting to win being a newbie and my opponent being well experienced but I would like to at least have a viable crew! Thanks
  19. Hey, looking to play my first game soon. Not sure what to use for the trees.. do most people use rings ala wmh or put something treelike on a base?
  20. Thanks for the very informative replies everyone! I am still struggling to choose. So it seems I can play yan-lo, seamus or mcmourning without summoning being a big part of my game plan. Cool to know. I am massively upset to hear Collodi can be a NPE as he is my favourite master in terms of fluff and model, his manipulation play style appealed to me as well. Is it always the case or upgrade dependent? On the flipside for NB I am really glad to hear Pandora isn't a drag anymore as I like her shenanigans. . I am going to be playing against arcanists primarily; ramos, marcus and raspy mostly. Still finding it hard to choose but this discussion is really helpful in getting an idea of a good fit.
  21. I am in Erdington. New to the area but I guess walsall is an option!
  22. So I dabbled in Malifaux in 1.5, back then I think Neverborn were considered a pretty top of the ranks kind of faction so I skipped them as I don't like to play the best faction in games. I amassed a considerable amount of Resser models including all masters apart from Tara and Yan. So coming back in 2.0, the supposed re-balancing of the game, it seems the Ressers are considerably better from what I remember, still don't get how it is right for Belles to be cast 8 on lure! So my question is this, in 2.0 which of the two factions would you say has the bigger advantage or is it relatively even in 2.0? IF it helps the masters I want to play are: Ressers: Kirai, Seamus, Molly, Yan (once I get him). Neverborn: Lilith, Collodi, Pandora (if she isn't still a NPE for the other player). I think I like the masters of ressers more but I don't like their theme of summoning much, otherwise love their masters and some minions (mostly the more expensive like hanged and Bete Noire). On the Neverborn side of things I think Lilith is my favourite master in the whole game and I love Collodi too and a great deal of their minions etc. However those are the only two NB masters I am likely to play unless they made Pandora a lot less killjoy to play against (I just don't think punishing the other playing for wanting to target my models is fun).
  23. Hello, as title, looking for new players, hopefully in Birmingham (UK). Hope this is the right forum for this.
