Too many good Pursuits in these previews. But this seems shining amongst others, I also love the punk art in this pic.

So bloated and hideous... I want that magnificent model as part of my collection.

Looks nice and does my mind fail me or is there an reference to another pursuit called Medium mentioned there?

I'm not big fan of them in the game... but just for the awesome look I may get a box of them.

Liking the Quarantine book more and more.

Female Flesh construct named Miss Take and Female Guilty named Miss Trust. Also female Rami LaCroix named Miss Ile would be nice.

Halloween 2009 Scenarios, By Drew Littel Story Encounter 1: Trick or Treat! Place 4 Building House terrain pieces in the center of the table in a box formation (see diagram). Models may attempt to perform an Interact (1) Trick or Treat Action while in base contact with a building. (1) Trick or Treat!: Flip a card (which cannot be cheated) off the top of your Deck. Black Joker: Mean old neighbor lady!: Interacting model receives Paralyzed. 1-6: Trick!: Interacting model suffers 1 Wd. 7-13: Treat!: Interacting model receives 1 Candy token. Red Joker: Impressive Costume! Interacting model receives 2 Candy tokens and is healed 2 Wd. Diagram: Player may not (1) Trick or Treat with the same building house more than once per turn. Player may not (1) Trick or Treat again with a building house again until he has interacted with each of the other building houses on the table. Each crew is trying to collect as many Candy tokens as possible during the course of the game. As soon as a model receives a Candy token, place it to that player’s side of the table. If a model is killed, sacrificed, or otherwise removed from the game it has no impact on the Candy tokens collected to that point. Victory: 4 VP for The player with the most Candy tokens. 2 VP if a player has at least 2 Candy tokens at the end of the game When playing this Strategy, we recommend either the players or tournament organizer have a supply of candy on hand. Players may turn in their candy counters after the game to receive that many pieces of real candy. Diagram 1:House Set up: Place 4 houses on the board around the center as shown below. There should be at least 4 inches between the houses. Special Occurrence All Hallows Eve!: This occurrence is in effect for the entire game. Dusk settles with an eerie pallor across the landscape of Malifaux, chilling mortals to the bone. Line of Sight is limited to 8" for all models, When character benefits from Focus Condition this range is increased to 12" for duration of action. All living, undead & construct models receive –1 WP. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Mad Dash To The Pumpkin Batch Place a 6" by 4" Ht:0 Pumpkin Patch piece of terrain in the center of the table and 10 30mm Pumpkin Markers are placed on it. Models may perform an Interact (1) Pumpkin Pick Action when in base contact with a Pumpkin marker to pick it up and place it on character's stat card. A model may not carry more than one Pumpkin Marker at a time. Dropping a Pumpkin Marker has no AP cost and it can be done before or after any actions character performs, causing Pumpkin Marker to be in base contact with model and flip Card(Which cannot be cheated): If the card is either Joker or there is no room to place marker, it is removed from play. Mashed and trampled pumpkins don't interest anyone. Any movement or push other than a Walk action by a model carrying a Pumpkin Marker will cause the model to drop the Pumpkin Marker before they begin that movement or push. Any out of activation movement or push will cause a model to drop Pumpkin Marker Before they begin that movement or push. The goal is to get as many Pumpkins to your own Deployment Zone as possible. Victory: 4VP to the player with the most Pumpkin Markers in their Deployment Zone at the end of the game. 2VP to any player with the least 1 Pumpkin Marker in their Deployment Zone at the end of game. Special Occurrence Bloody Harvest!: These pumpkins are not your normal, everyday pumpkins. They are a risky crop to collect! At the End of 2nd turn and any turn after, the last player to activate a model flips a card(which can be cheated): If the flip is the Black Joker or 1-5 all carried pumpkins attack their carriers! Any model carrying a Pumpkin Marker suffer damage flip of 1/2/3 which cannot be cheated, reduced or prevented(flipped by opponent), and drop the pumpkin they are carrying. Living and Undead models killed in this fashion become Pumpkin Zombies under character's original controller, Place Pumpkin zombie in base contact with model before removing it. Pumpkin Zombies use Mindless Zombies for rules with the following exceptions: Pumpkin Zombies cannot perform actions outside their activation, Ignore friendly Pulses, Auras and their own Walking dead ability. _____________________________________________________________________________________________

Jack Daw with Michael Jackson's Ghost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh9Cp4rd7mI The lines(Though not that memorable):"You put a knife in my back." "Shot an arrow in me!" and in the music video he brings Tormented together, then there's the hanging and he is clearly using Twist and Turn to man with tie and glasses.

Too much to buy, I'm already trying to finish my last batch of models and now I urge to buy few dozen more to wait for paint. well, I think I should see what they have in stores and try to control my desires, because there is more that I want coming September. But maybe i'll pick "few" at GenCon so I don't need to wait for their actual release dates.

Liking the stats and stuff, but bit disappointed that Grimwell doesn't cause poison. I would have loved him with certain other doctor. Angel eyes however I have no problem with.

I've played few games with Mister J, but a thought came to my mind: Where does Jack Daw and tormented posse shine at? I like his stories and the fact that he got promoted into master, this of course means I'll be getting his box no matter what people say. What are the schemes and strategies that benefit him or which ones he can ruin for his opponent? For example, what could this list play with(if there is anything). 50 point Scrap Jack Daw -- 4 Pool +Drowing Injustice [0] +Firing Squad Injustice [0] +Guillotine Injustice [0] +Twist and Turn [2] +Writhing Torment [2] Lady Ligeia [4] Bishop [10] Montresor [9] +Fearful Whispers [1] +The Creeping Terror [1] The Guilty [5] The Guilty [5] The Hanged [9] Mainly I prefer to have jack with everything that is injust, but that is only personal thing. Bishop got stuck in here because he is an generally great guy and capable of playing rough. And The Hanged is to frighten little children just in case. No Nurses made in to this party unfortunately.(McMourning had them working extra hours) But generally speaking, What are JD's strongest points?

Well this settles that pondering. Case closed.

I'm asking more of an clearence than any any advice etc. Do disengaging strikes cause defensive triggers? Disengaging strike is an free melee attack and as the rulebook states: "A disengaging strike deals no damage, has no other effect, and may not declare any Triggers." page 44/49(big rulebook/rules manual) If i'm reading it right, this means that the attacker may not declare triggers but there are no mention on defender's trigger activation. Usually this would not give any problems but with triggers like Run away home(Collodi), Safe in my bed(Dreamer), It's all in the Reflexes(Burt Jebsen) and Knock aside(Barbaros) there might be some issues: Collodi scenario: Collodi is in engagement with an Piglet and decides to disengage. Piglet hits Collodi with gore and stops him from moving, but Run away home activates and Collodi still pushes 3 inches and out of Piglet's attack range. Even if the Piglet would have missed Collodi, the puppeteer would have first pushed 3 inches and then walked 5. Dreamer scenario: This time it's Dreamer who is locked in combat with Piglet and the boy decides to escape while an Alp stands within 3 inches. Piglet is able to stop Dreamer from walking by using his gore, but dreamer uses Safe in my bed trigger. This causes "target friendly nightmare within 3 inches suffer the effects of the action instead as if it had been the target, including any triggers." and so the non-moving Alp is denied of his non-happening walking action and Dreamer flies up to 7 inches. Burt Jebsen scenario: Piglet faces the Burt Jebsen and Burt decides to disengage. As the gore disengaging strike misses Burt with ace of tomes flip, the gremlin flips ten of rams which triggers It's all in the reflexes. This means that Mr. Jebsen can move the 5 inches and poor Piglet takes 2/3/4 damage flip. Barbaros scenario: Piglet now challenges Barbaros, but for some insane reason Barbaros decides to leave the combat. Piglet misses with the gore and triggers Knock aside with an mask. Now piglet suffers 2 damage and is pushed 4 inches directly away from Barbaros.
