Ah I see! Thank you.

Unfortunately Reactivate gets capped at once per model per turn.

There is the strange irony of having to stand out in the middle of no-mans land to get some of the best medical attention in Malifaux.

Pariah of Bone on Levy + Howard Langston with Scramble is my favourite. Nimble AP can cover even more distance over a game.

In a smaller match, summoning is going to be even more attractive than it is at higher stone games. Alyce can potentially become a summoner if you want to depart from rats. But if you suspect your opponents will be summoning, or growing nephilim - Taelor could become an interesting meta choice.

The Smoke upgrade is possibly why the brothers didn't get Last Blossom. Protect our holdings plus the potential to move large distances, plus defensive stance... May have been too good for 5ss.

Chances are you'll be working up from an already light base colour and a white or gray primer. An off-white like a bone, undead flesh or tan can help lighten your base without going with pure white. (might want to save it for final highlights and actual whites) If you are layering up light colours, the rule of multiple thinned layers are better than one applies doubly - with so much white pigment in the light colours it can get chalky very quickly. Shading could be limited to a tiny controlled stroke of the pure base colour in the very deepest recesses - you want to avoid having to build up a pastel again from a dark colour whereever possible. Just some thoughts

Oldest Magic on Jack Daw even works indoors unlike flight

I might be mistaken, but think a large part of his obsession was he was trying to 'cure' Molly of undeath/dependance on Seamus. Really hope if a model is made for him, he is made as a "brain in a jar"- which option is sort of open as he is a recluse.

Mako thank you for another great tutorial, have only had a chance to have a quick read though but love the breakdown of the anatomy (The blue and white object is Yin's detached body right?) edit - over the page ninja'd

Grim: the first four last blossom hired with infiltration are at their normal cost. Presently you can hire on top of that two mercs with the extra cost. Misaki hasn't got explicit support for her crew like Yan Lo, McCabe or Shenlong. She is more an elite mobile runner and opportunist who can threaten a large area and offers her best support in a combat role ending engagements cleanly - kind of like a super torakage. She can be played as a glass cannon easily enough with the usual risks. Outcasts / Thunders option is really just an idea to consider as both factions have relatively similar models outside the last blossom core: Johan / Chiaki & Monk of Low River - conditions. Lone Swordsman / Ronin - MI Convict & Hans & Specialist / Archer & Sniper - SH Bishop & Taelor & Killjoy / Ototo - Beats

Maybe we're being saved the disappointment of microwaved bacon

Hypothetical: 1. If the Pigapult is Glowy, does the bacon taste better?

The plastic crew seems to be not far off for release, but don't think its confirmed how many skeeters it will contain (hopefully a pair). If you're not in a rush it might be worth waiting to see the sculpts. Also, pretty sure Som'er will have a use for some more bayou gremlins too if you pick up the new crew box On the topic of insect wings, the following link has a nifty idea: http://23lines.blogspot.com.au/2008/07/commutatus-tyranid-gargoyle-conversion.html?m=1

Ratty: what are you doing!.... :-P Some sort of badass coulrophopic character as a master could work... Probably some guild division against mimes is needed too.

Apart from the swiss army knife of abilities from swapping styles between Yu and Shenlong is you can use the full available AP of two models in a single turn from the one upgrade. Wandering river style for up to potentially 5 pushes a turn...

Definately isn't any easy answer, but combined with effects that will pressure the opponents hand like horror duels and devour triggers the Shenlong player may be persaded to get rid of Hans early or to change their game plan to hold some cards for safety. Promising Disciple on Sensei Yu is probably the weakest link in the upgrade juggling for Hans to ping. The master who looks most interesting in a matchup against Shenlong is Jack Daw. Put any curse (drowning looks best) on Shenlong and he is going to be under strain. His free actions probably would work against him.

Malidave: It's circumstantial, but If Shenlong does not have a limited upgrade equipped to discard, he can't change his style. So if you can force the limited upgrade to be discarded via a model like Hans, Shenlong will be without a style for the rest of the game. Sensei Yu will also be stuck with what he is left holding as his style - best case he's left holding promising discipline and never borrowed a style... Or you could start with Sensei Yu, discard promising disciple to prevent the double use of a style every turn.

Re: Transmortis: Albus seems to be a mysterious hermit so there could be some cool potential to design him sonething unusual as: A BRAIN IN JAR McMournings reanimated cows would be so cool. Nightmare edition canine remains?

Shenlong seems to be the "dragon" the Samurai serve in their background material and Reading the Wind gets the best out of those 0 focus actions. The pushes Shenlong can potentially hand out with Wandering River Style will help their movement a lot too. I'm very keen to use a high count of samurai also (only 3 though!). I really hope the final version of the generic upgrade in the wave 3 beta raises their competitiveness enough to be viable - especially in groups.

Has there been a rise in the number of Misaki players using Pilfer actions against your masters to "steal" your beans?

**Spoiler** Read the M2E Big book story re: Levy & Alyce's insighta on the above question.. ;P

Brewmaster: I like the idea of Sue - good suite of utility and solid attacks wirh relentless. Killjoy is Magic has to be a tactic I'd want to telegraph early in the day and switch to a less gimicky glowy target list later on - to keep everyone guessing! Eternalvoid: Sounds like a barrel of fun! Would be a lot more confident at trying to get into engagement with some high risk models with the Def Buff. The Godlyness: +1 Burt - pepperbox looks spicy. On a side note: Lenny unfortunatey can't be made MAGIC ... So no glowy piglet whackin.

Santiago's plastic could be a reasonable frame for a guard captain conversion - he has that intimidating stature.

"Sah-wheet" (in really girly voice) So much nostalgia in a very very weird way - such a cool crew you have SoundWave.
