I think the problem is arising from the way paralysed was written. I assume the rule was written from the consideration of a model performing actions in it's activation rather than considering out of activation actions. The wording for paralysed taken from earlier in the thread is If the intent was for a model to be unable to take actions during its activation and to not engage models whilst suffering from the paralysed condition it could be written better as If the intent was for the model to be unable to take actions during its activation and to not make attacks outside of its activation whilst suffering from the paralysed condition it could be written as The use of - is better than 0 as 0 is defined as base to base contact whilst - would mean that it has no range.

As paralysed states you have 0" melee range and base to base contact is defined as 0" range per the FAQ I would surmise that paralysed models are able to be prompted/obeyed to make attacks on targets in base to base contact.

The rules for engagement specifically state that you are never engaged with friendly models. To those stating that you must be engaged to make a attack this means that friendly models cannot make against each other. As obey does not change who you consider to be friendly this would mean that you can never obey an enemy model to make a attack against another model in the opponents crew. As I don't believe that this is correct you must be able to make attacks when not engaged and therefore able to make attacks when paralysed.

I really recommend picking up either the Swamp Hag or Mother of Monsters (you could just get both) as they contain really good scheme runners in the form of silurids and tots. In terms of boxes working well together I quite like taking Bad Juju and the swamp fiends in a pandora crew as the fast moving silurids make good waypoints for the sorrows to jump to. Bad Juju really helps out pandora by providing a heavy hitter that attacks DF as well as having a pulse that causes will power duels.

Enjoyed elementary so count me in

If two models with a 2" melee range are engaged with each other at the limit of their ranges so there is a 1.75" gap between them can a third model (on a 30mm base) be targeted by a attack by a 4th model with the lines of sight passing through the space between the two engaged models? If so would there be any negative modifiers to such an attack? i.e. would the engagement provide cover.

Just wondering what the rules regarding proxies are for the event?

Just sent my payment now that have been given permission to attend.

I am interested in this. Will have to wait till Feb to buy the ticket however so hopefully there will still be some available then.

Element Games in the UK posted this on twitter yesterday See https://twitter.com/ElementGames_ So rule book should be available in Febuary.

When I asked Element Games about it after Christmas they said their supplier was expecting to recieve them at the end of Jan/start of Feb and they would get them about a week after that. This seems to fit with Wayland's new date.

I am having the same problem with basing the brass arachnid. My current plan is to try posing it so that it looks like it is rearing up and then pin it to the base through the spike at the back of the model.

I am in the process of designing a very complicated board for malifaux. The idea is to build a complete casino/hotel interior that would fill the entire 3' x3' table. The idea is to have it as a multi level piece with various balconies, galleries and if everything goes to plan moveable staging. As I don't want to mess up big time in terms of being able to use the game board for playing on I am currently trying to work out the various rules in malifaux that would impact on the design of terrain. The practicalities in terms of model movement and placement I am already working on. What I need help with is how to ensure all the schemes and stratergies can be played using this terrain. So I am asking for some advice from the community is what things do I need to consider to ensure the board will not fall foul of the rules for scenarios?

I am tempted by this as it is in a very convienient location for me although I would have to find a team.
