It passed midnight already and the rabbits still haven't finished breeding. Horny animals!

Is $45 for amphibious assault correct? That feels really steep for a henchman and 3 minions. Seems more like a $35 set.

I think the minions come in 3 models per unit for a total of 9 gupps. So in total, you get 10 models. Also remember that there are storybook for encounters and TTB adventures. It's reasonably priced comparing to Brotherhood of the Rats ($50 - 12 models) and Taxidermy ($40 - 8 models).

Yeah the idea is you can use anything except nightmares to protect the Dreamer. This is to prevent any beneficial trigger from him.

I only played this twice. The first time I had to stop midway since I messed up some activation sequences. The 2nd time I got killed by nightmares spawned. I have very limited knowledge of the models in this game, so I cannot judge how viable this encounter can be

Here is a solo encounter for the Dreamer (

) that I made, inspired by the Gallery of Nightmare scenario and the solo encounter in Brotherhood of the Rats. This reenacts the mind-battle between him and Lord Chompy Bits. You protect the Dreamer by moving him around, away from dangers while chasing and killing Daydreams. For every Daydream killed, it pops a Nightmare. When all Daydreams are killed, LCB pops and moves to murder you and the boy.

Could you please look at this and tell me what you think. Enjoy!

I'm going to go out on a limb and claim that Wyrd has no plans for a Dark Carnival Angelica at the moment. 

May be you're right. Notice that the current Angelica can be modified easily to fit in with the circus theme, as noted by the OP.

For some reasons, Wyrd seems to like the Dark Carnival so much to the point that they corroborate with PlastCraft to make a terrain set with this theme: http://themostexcellentandawesomeforumever-wyrd.com/topic/114153-plastcraft-terrain-circus/

So it's quite possible that they will have a DC version for Angelica (as a hunchback perhaps?)

Duuude. The biggest thing I want for the pure 10k master is a honest to god Samurai warlord. Someone who uses the Samurai and Fuhatsu and buffs the crap out of them with tactical stuff- Calling the shots as he cuts his enemies down.

I had another thought last night- The ice gamin and the metal gamin both have the "Gamin" trait. They're also both arcanists, and there isn't anything that makes specific mention of it. Maybe the last entry as a gamin master, or a gamin source or something. Very soft idea- not a lot of character or story behind it in my head yet- more a crew theme...? If that makes sense?

You can't have a honest soul amidst a bunch of assassin, smuggler, gambler/pimp, embezzler, half-dead, and drunkard! Btw, can u match the master with their correct description?

An elementalist maybe? Somebody who can lead Fire, Ice, Metal and new gamins and buff them in different ways?

Your post does remind me do the elementalist class from Guild Wars 2: a master that can freely swap play style (referred to as attunement in GW2) in middle of the battle (from zero action perhaps). Think of a more flexible version of Yan Lo's paths. And yes, GAMIN FTW!!!

Introducing... Miss Step, Maiden of Carnage... and that's a lot of blood!

It's nowhere as good as pro-painters' work but I had a great time painting her. Pretty proud of it, actually.

The new plastics are truly wonderful: great details, easy to assemble, and still quite sturdy.

Well, the developers stated that arcanist will only have mono-faction masters, except Mei. Also, from some interview I read (can remember which), the last arcanist master will be a SHE (or at least was referred to as a 'she' by the dev).

That's one more lady for Ramos as, apparently, Colette and Kaeris, and may be Mei, are not enough for that guy. Not to mention there may be a love-hate relationship between him and Raspy. Seriously, that old man is building up his harem instead of fighting the Guild

Hi, I bought both an arcanist arsenal box and a Raspy starter set over GenCon and was left with duplicated M2e cards for Raspy. I'd like to trade my Raspy's set for Mei's which comes from the 10T box. If anyone wants a trade, please pm/email me.

The cards from Raspy set are: Stat cards: Raspy, Ice Golem, Wendigo, 3x Ice Gamins; Upgrades: Shattered Heart, Child of Dec, Cold Night, Dec's Pawn, Armor of Dec, Sub 0

The ones from Mei set that I need are: Stats: Mei, Kang, Emberling, 3x Rail Workers; Foundry Upgrades: Thunderous Smash, Seismic Claws, Price of Progress, Vapormancy, Hard Worker, People's Challenge. (All the ones with arcanist dual on them)

Thank you all.

Is she easy to assemble? Steamborg executioner was a nightmare to put together.

The model should have alternative heads. Masked one for guild and unmasked for NB.

It's quite easy to see that he might continue with his "Elite Divisions" in the 2nd edition, but may be those elites are all drugged with some NB voodoo weeds that take effect under the appropriate upgrade from Lucius

I'm not familiar with the lore and didn't read book 3 on avatar rule so perhaps some lore expert could explain this to me: what's the connection between avatar and tyrant? At the end of book 2, the folks of malifaux were staring at their impending doom in the form of a red comet (they were all like "****... some d-bags just unleash a plague over malifaux, we're screwed " ), then... BAM... All the soulstone users got access to some badass monstrosity forms.

I picked up from here and there on the forum that the reason they have their avatar is because they got processed by some tyrants (like Raspy, Sonia, or Seamus...) what about the rest of the masters? Where did their avatar come from? And what exact was that event from book 3?

Also, will the 10T get any avatar at all? Pretty sure they weren't around when the red ball of death came crashing down.

Personally I agree, but there must be something in there business decision, as they wouldn't just make the decision arbitrarily. If you need specific arcanist or 10t cards just let me know.

Over GenCon, I ordered from the web store Raspy box and arcanist deck. Hence, I'll end up having duplicate raspy card set. Would u like to trade ur Mei Fang set for my Raspy?

I heard that Avatar rules are included in the M2e rulebook (not 100% sure on this). Could someone plz give a brief review for those who have not yet gotten the book? Thanks.

Rulebook + Rasputina + arcanist deck + some base inserts + Miss Step.

I'm so proud to be an arcanist player now

Anyone knows how how long will it take for shipping to west coast?

So this is what I'm planning for a nuking Rasputina list at 40SS:

Rasputina - cache 3 (Shatter Heart -3, Sub Zero -1)

Ice Golem (-10) (Imbued Protection -2)

3x Ice Gamins (-12)

December Acolyte (-7)

Essence of Power (-3)

5SS left

Good enough? Anything I'm missing?

I think my biggest problem with 2.0 Rasputina is that I really want that new Ice Golem sculpt, but I don't want to rebuy the whole box set just for that.

I know, right? The ice golem is awesome. It and Miss spider-girl are the reason why I want to start out with arcanists in M2E. The other box arts are just meh, and the special edition tentacle beast is too weird for my taste.

Now for Rasputina box, the ice gamins are cute and Kommander Rasputina is obviously a Sorscha ripoff, which is fine by me. They need to add an upgrade called Icepick of December that turns her into a melee monster!

Thanks for all the feedback. So basically, playing Rasputina comes down to whether to nuke or to crowd control, mostly through Paralyze. Then you can set you minions on paralyzed models to devour them. Very neat.

Hey guys,

I'm new to this game and thinking of picking up the Children of December starter box for M2E. I'm planning to collect arcanists, starting with Rasputina as she's the first master available for the faction and one of the easier ones to start out, according to some ppl. Of all the box sets previewed at GenCon, so far, hers has the best artwork (that huge golem!). Also, fluff-wise, I like how the arcanists are portrayed as "a rag-tag collection of spellcasters and deviants," seeking to overthrow the government.

After reading through some posts on this forum, I found M2E guides for all arcanist masters but Rasputina. I would like to ask for guide and tips on how to run her team. Even better, an in-depth review of her crew in M2E would be awesome. Thank you.
