  1. My name is Tom, and I'm a Malifaux newb :facepalm:

    OK, I just came through the Breach 2 weeks ago, and have played two games so far (1/Rasputina and 1/Lady J) at 26 stones.

    I've read over the terrain section in and I think that we're glossing over some critical terrain functions that actually make terrain work and I want to get some clarification, please.

    A. Walls. Our terrain board is flat and has several solid field stone walls (such as around a grave yard) designated as Ht1, climbable, and (I would assume hard cover as per pg61).

    1. Can a Ht 1 model, such as a Ophelia, see OVER a Ht 1 terrain feature if she is within 1 inch of it?
    2. Can a Ht 1 model, such as Ophelia, see OVER a Ht 1 terrain feature if she is further back than 1 inch from the terrain piece?
    3. Can a model that is more than 1 inch away from the Ht 1 wall see OVER it to something 1 inch or more away from the wall on the other side?
    4. Can a model that is more than 1 inch away from the Ht 1 wall see OVER it to a HT1 model that is within 1 inch of the wall?
    5. Does it cost 1 inch of movement UP and DOWN said Ht 1 wall to cross over it (thus requiring 2 inches to cross) or does it cost 1 inch UP-and-OVER to the other side?
    6. Can a Ht 2 or taller model use a Ht 1 solid wall to crouch down behind and thus gain full cover?
    7. Can a model stand on top of said terrain piece and thus gain Ht 3 to gain LOS?

    2. LOS as it relates to terrain features.

    A. If ANY LOS can be drawn from the attacker to the target that crosses a terrain feature that grants cover, even if there is a clear LOS around that cover, the target is assumed to get the benefit of said cover? (Yes, I know it's on pg40, just asking for a final yes/no).

    Thanks. Probably more later, too. I'm just getting this all figured out.

  2. You want glue that smells? >:o Try the stuff from Plastruct.

    I've been using it for years, works great. Just a tiny little bit goes a long way. Not for the faint of heart or handful of thumbs.

    I might have to try the Testors stuff, sounds like it might be a better applicator.

  3. If you can find them, 7/8 inch grade 8 washers fit perfectly in the new bases. I get 'em for 40something cents each from the hardware bins at a local place (Taylor's DoIt Center). Just a little bit of shoe goo to hold them in and they work perfectly.

  4. Hello there. I've been a long time fan of the Malifaux minis, just never really looked into the game. Several weeks ago, I was in my FLGS and overheard a someone giving another customer a run down of 2nd edition, and after he was done I got my briefing, too! I like the look of the new plastics and came back the next weekend to play a demo game with Rasputina vs. Misaki. I had a great time and really like the style skirmish style of play. That and NOT having to invest tons of $$$ in hordes of cookie cutter formations of minis!

    Anyway, I picked up a rule book, several fate decks, several arsenal boxes, and the plastics for Lady J, Rasputina, and Jacob Lynch, as well as the University of Transmortis. Lady J and her crew are mostly painted, and I'm heading to the FLGS next week to give 'em a first run!

    Thanks 4-Lom for the intro to the game!
