Thanks.

Just curious. Kirai's is, making the contents essentially a legal Malifaux Crew. I can't remember if we've seen art of the whole box contents.

Wait yours is actually bending over? Mine just had to be pinned to his base, but doesn't bend at the legs or anything. Of course, mine doesn't get to stand on the table near as often as I'd like. Yeah I guess stick a rod up there in the legs. Hopefully it won't bend over any higher up.

Perdita, 46, doppelganger, one minion to taste. Keeps the crew real small to get me some card draw turn one and then perdita likes both the small crew size and the 7 card hand for hero's gamble.

I nicknamed my Alpha Crawler "Mr Gaps". Even plastic like the Star Wars Legion models (not counting droids) would be better than these pre-assembled models. If they want to whipe the slate and do a relaunch down the road, they should definitely kick the pre-assembled stuff. Or they could figure out how CMON does it with Ice and Fire. I haven't had a problem with any of those.

I mean they've been in the past three or four game trade magazines. It's kinda hard to advertise minis games outside your own website, GTM, or maybe Beasts of War or similar sites. I am surprised I haven't seen them on Beasts Of War recently.

20 motor scouts is probably a fun counter to eel spam, if you know the other player is gonna do that. Every hit is a pin token. See who ends the game with the most single model units!

Terrain within 2" doesn't count for cover. It absolutely still blocks los.

If you're playing against the Gibbering Hordes, bring a few things that can hand out pinned tokens. Doing something extra cool with spare reinforce tokens is by no means unique to the eel.

KE can get a good return on investment vs eel spam with infiltrators just using their confuse action repeatedly.

Pinned this li'l guy's feet with some steel wire that I bent up under the base and hot glued the heck out of it.

Pinning it is pretty much a must. I'm thinking of first making the underside of the base thicker, somehow, and then pinning it.

In a pitched assault, if you eat a fireteam before any of your other units have died that turn does that count as your opponent's 1 VP event for the turn (or more if you ate the last fireteam)?

So to recap: Tide pools work that way because magic, and by magic we mean balance. This is fine. Other water features are just a 'suggestion', and can be whatever. That's fine too I suppose. Forests block line of sight through them, but not into them, despite the rulebook making no distinction between LOS crossing a little bit or all the way. Because that's how they solved contradictory graits in Malifaux, supposedly. Shakey about this one, but if you showed up at the store and wanted to play em that way, I'd be ok with it. It just surprises me that while the rest of the rulebook is really tightly written, the terrain rules have contradictory text and "agree with your opponent" instead of making an attempt at an exhaustive list. Then they dedicate the entire next page to rules that are even more optional than the previous terrain rules, and a large picture of a gentleman with a gatling gun.

That's not in question. The question is why any sort of water feature would do that in the first place. Why is a pond the same as a wall or a forest? The tide pools I can hand wave away with "because of magic" but literally every water feature is treated as such in he rules as they currently are.
