My LGS got tired of waiting, sad to say. I popped in yesterday to find they had found someone to unload all their Malifaux stock for them. The space has now been given over to Marvel Crisis Protocol and D&D minis. š¦

New Releases, Special Orders, and LGS Promotions, Oh My!
Clockwork_Fish replied to Kyle's topic in Wyrd Announcements
The explanation I got from my LGS was that Lion Rampant thought the direct to retail program was trying to cut them out of the picture, so they stopped stocking Malifaux. If that's not actually the case, then fine, my mistake. -
New Releases, Special Orders, and LGS Promotions, Oh My!
Clockwork_Fish replied to Kyle's topic in Wyrd Announcements
Same problem in Ontario. My LGS was planning to try getting together a bulk order for regulars, try and make it profitable. Then everything went ass over tea kettle and we all got stuck in our homes in a global pandemic. And while I admit to ordering a couple things through the Easter sale, I don't want to make a habit of it because I really want to support my LGS right now by buying stuff for games they can actually stock. I still enjoy Malifaux and really like 3rd ed. It was looking like things were picking up until the direct to retail feud with Lion Rampant. Really don't want this to be the end of it in Canada, so I hope it gets addressed. -
Yamaziko would work. Easy to convert too, just file her face off and glue on a Samuraiās.

Announcing the Direct to Retail Program
Clockwork_Fish replied to Kyle's topic in Wyrd Announcements
Itās more a concern over shipping costs. Their current plan is to take orders at the end of the month and lump in with restocks. -
Announcing the Direct to Retail Program

Not to be a downer, but I understand that Lion Rampant in Canada has dropped Malifaux from the list of games they distribute over this? Itās causing some fatalism in our local LGS. -
PC/Console game that compares to Malifaux
Clockwork_Fish replied to ezramantis's topic in News, Reviews, & Discussion
Try Divinity: Original Sin 2. The game is all about conditions, board control, and movement. It doesnāt have a lot of āobjectiveā based fights, but almost every fight has a unique gimmick or mechanic. -
Honestly feel like Exclusive Interview should be overhauled but Iām not sure how. It doesnāt stack with Breaking News, and Gaining Grounds kinda ground down itās usefulness. If they ditched the current wording and made it hand out Distract or Stunned maybe?

So is this something that happens in the Arcanist faction book, or are you hinting at Colette becoming a Dead Manās Hand master? ... Joking š ... Donāt kill Colette! š§

Lore of Hayreddin, the Unfeeling Soccer Dad?
Clockwork_Fish replied to Kharnage's topic in The Neverborn
Seems to me, there was a Nephilim who knew how to do that. But someone pissed him off and now heās gone to hang out with the cool kids. š Also, did Nekima kick the half-bloods to the curb, or are they still her goons? -

Wonder how hard itād be to put Agent 46ās head on the Stalkerās body. Might be scale issues, but could work. Or try using a lawyerās noggin. I donāt really have a problem with 46 other than the unnatural position of his arms. If I canāt easily reposition them, converting might be worth a shot.

Iāve played this strat a couple times now with Guild and healing is your friend. Though in fairness the easiest time Iāve had with it was using Sandeep, but that doesnāt help us here, does it? š I quite enjoy Basse for idols, since he can establish a picket line along the centre turn one. Frontiersman are squishy, but heal easy. Throw in a Domador and they are surprisingly resilient, auto-healing 3 from decay.

New Models Revealed, thanks App!
Clockwork_Fish replied to Morgan Vening's topic in Malifaux Discussion
I like the new December Acolytes; especially the creepy one licking her knife š³ -
Good lord, yes. That was my first game against Youko. It was shocking how fast my hand disappeared.

Just had a 50SS match today, Corrupted Idols/Flank Deployment against Ten Thunders. My list was Basse, Bernadette, Reichart + LL Coat, Jury + LL Coat, Guild Steward, Pathfinder, Paul Crocket and Frontiersman. My opponent had Youko, Chiyo, Hinamatsu, Misaki, Minako, Bunraku, and Kunoichi. That was a bloody affair. We called it mid turn 4, as my opponent said at that point he couldn't win. First turn, Basse, Reichart and Crocket moved up the left flank towards the first Idol on turn one, and Misaki, Minako and a summoned Katashiro did likewise. Jury, Frontiersman and Steward held the middle and Pathfinder and Bernadette quietly held the right flank. Got lucky on the left, with Misaki; Jury plinked some auto damage on her when she activated, then Basse softened her up with some quicksand, only for Paul to Red Joker rifle shot. She ended the turn 6 wounds down. Second turn was a goddamn title fight, with Basse using up my whole hand and 4 soulstones just to stay alive. I wish I'd put a LL Coat on him instead of one of the henchies, as it would have been easier. But he lived, and put down Misaki. Reichart got distracted, so spent the rest of the game Stoically nodding at Basse. Crocket was originally supposed to hang back and shoot into melee, but instead Basse said "Paul, come protect me from great danger. I need a human shield!" So instead he moved up to shield Basse and move an Idol, and got eaten by a paper monster. The Frontiersman was killed by the Bunraku, and the Bunraku was killed by Jury. Turn three was just silly. On the right flank, Bernadette and the Pathfinder killed the Kunoichi for Dig Their Graves. The Steward engaged Hinamatsu and tried to slow her down, only for her to carve him up and die to Reprisal in a weird suicide pact. Basse picked away at Minako with Quicksand, while Reichart tried feebly to heal him. Turn four, Jury killed Chiyo, and that was about where we called it. Final score 2 - 1. Overall quite happy with the Frontier crew. Was hoping to get more mileage out of some of them, but Youko puts pressure on your hand. The Steward never got any heals off, as I never had the cards for it, so never had a chance of saving the poor Frontiersman. Pathfinder is great as always, but again, needs cards. Bernadette and her murder knife did just fine. Basse was a champ. Reichart was safely neutered by Youko and accomplished nothing but healing, so no opinion there. Jury was okay, but surprise! Needed more cards.

I used contrast paints, then highlighted. The base is a piece of cork, and skulls from that GW box o' skulls. She's not quite done yet. I don't mind the pose. I don't see this as a combat pose, per se. To me, it looks more like she's standing in the fray letting out a battle cry. I never liked her old plastic sculpt. She was just so tiny, and her sword was even smaller. She just had no presence, especially compared to her big, flashy Death Marshals.

Posting this here, as it seems relevant. Here's what she looks like the flesh, so to speak.

Press Ganging for Nightmare Molly
Clockwork_Fish replied to SteampunkCake's topic in The Resurrectionists
For a more tourney legal Grave Golem, you could use the official model, but chop off the tombstones and replace them with bits and bobs from the pet store to make a āreef golem.ā -
I imagine the typical Lovecraft protagonist of a stuffy, high strung Englishman working. Heād be the Nellie of the Explorers, not really attacking, but running around distracting and running schemes. Mostly heād focus on running away and screaming. As for how a Lovecraftian crew might work, given how his stories tended to go, Iād theme it around Wp duels and weird defensive triggers and abilities. For example The Last Words of ... : (Wp/Df) After resolving, place a scheme marker in base with this model. Gibbering Madness: If this model fails a horror duel, all models within 3ā gain Distracted +1 Grit (Squamous) - when reduced to half itās original wounds this model gains Terrifying 12 A crew where if everyone is dying horribly then that means itās all going to plan š

The Effigy should be a golden idol and the Emissary a giant boulder! I'd like to see a Resser/Explorer dual faction. Basic idea would be an expedition that set out into the wilds of Malifaux shortly before the Breach closed the first time around, and no trace was ever found. Turns out they ran into a Tyrant's prison and now a century later it's using them all as meat puppets. It's looking for ancient relics to help it's ascension and it's thralls are posing as treasure hunters.

"I'm a Basse Man"- A Cornelius Basse Discussion Thread
Clockwork_Fish replied to 4thstringer's topic in The Guild
Has anyone tried Paul? Without stronger beasts than Raptors and Hounds, it seems Scent of Blood is kind of wasted. However, he still has Expert Shot, and his Carbine is a respectable attack for a 6 point model. -
I was just going through some Ten Thunders cards and noticed that the High River Monk's Risky Maneuvers ability is a regular action, while the Bunraku can use it as a . Is this maybe a typo on the HRM's card? Seems he'd be more effective if it is.
