  1. If you like digital books they can be bought here. You can also get Chronicles, Wyrd's free e-zine, on that site.
  2. You can see all the books here.
  3. Malifaux2E, Crossroads, Shifting Loyalties, Ripples of Fate. In the sets with multiple models you can compare them in the group picture. The various bases has different proportions as well, but I guess it takes a bit of practice to tell them apart just by looking at a single model.
  4. You can look at the pictures on GMort to see what bases they are on.
  5. Don't know about the first part but as I understand it his device combined with Kirai's ring pulled it down from orbit and would have channelled its power into Plague through said device. When Kirai fought back halfway through the process the power from the already disrupted Red Cage had nowhere to go and just spread out instead.
  6. Where did you try to upload it? Google doc should accept office open XML spreadsheets (.xlsx) if nothing else. If the forum doesn't want to host spreadsheets directly it is perhaps a blanket ban on anything that could contain macros.
  7. More stories. I skim or skip most other parts as it is.
  8. Loser declares triggers first during step 4. A trigger without a specific timing is resolved immediately, i.e. during step 4. All "after" triggers happen at the same time, "after damaging" is not before "after succeeding" as your chart implies. Whether a model dies or not does not affect when a trigger happens (though obviously some triggers only goes in effect if a model died or was about to die). Succeeding and failing will mean different things for each player so putting them in different places in the chart without specifying who is succeeding or failing is confusing.
  9. Ironsides might look like a brawler (and is perhaps intended as one as a large part of her card is taken up by it) but she is pretty bad at it. She has an excellent buff though and can control enemies a bit. Kaeris is in a similar situation, not very good damage but she can draw cards, heal, place scheme markers. Ramos and Marcus can both be played as either damage or support though it's a little dependent on upgrades. I think Colette and perhaps Sandeep are the "pure" support masters in Arcanists, others dabble in it or are forced into the role.
  10. You don't have to unbury Killjoy when something dies (his ability say "may"), so if you would have to charge something in your own crew, don't unbury him.
  11. While The Guild is a bit less belligerent at the moment I don't really see why Wyrd would want to bring any two factions close to each other in the fluff. The game is after all about everyone being at each other's throats, and I think reasons for various people to fight has more of a place than reasons for them not to. Not saying I don't enjoy the occasional story like Molly and Kirai's team up in crossroads, but if we get too many stories about the power of friendship the dissonance can get annoying. For big threats individual masters can form temporary and fragile alliances (e.g. Ramos, Rasputina, Sonnia, and Viktoria in the climax of the very first book), without the rest of the factions approving or perhaps even knowing.
  12. While the idea of Fae queens is older than Shakespeare, he did name her Titania. They were typically nameless in the Fae legends and the name was nicked from an unrelated source. The three witches are on the other hand much older than Shakespeare, e.g. The Fates (in Greek mythology), the Norns (in Norse), and he didn't really add any details to them in Macbeth.
  13. Kaeris' wings aren't grafted to her, it's just a harness if the Crossroads story is anything to go by. The RoF vignettes hint to a fracturing within the Arcanists, with the playable characters being distanced from each other in the fluff. There are also new hard feelings because of Lucius' witch hunts so I have a hard time seeing any kind of aligning between The Guild and the Arcanists, quite opposite really. Arcanists seems to be shifting emphasis from a structured organisation with a strong front in the M&SU to loosely connected rogue mages, basically everyone going the way of Marcus and Rasputina, though perhaps with less gorging on raw flesh.
  14. I got the impression that the idea was that one crew has Tara and the other has Nix with Infectious melodies. Echoes of the Void lets Tara control the activation of an enemy model, so the model she is controlling is a member of Nix' crew and thus friendly to Nix. If the idea was to take Nix and Tara in the same crew and use this as a combo to kill enemies, you are right that it wont work.
  15. Februari amounted to a single model for me... Carrion Emissary - 10 SS.
  16. After quite a bit of procrastination I finished my Carrion Emissary. I went with crow coloration for the bird parts, while Hooded crows (the ones with light grey areas) are the most common here, the all black Carrion Crow seemed more fitting. To save space in my case the wings are magnetised, and get little stands as their surface shape and the angle of the magnets doesn't let them sit very well on the flat tray without the guide pins.
  17. And minions. Cost is only vaguely related to station. The thing about using multiple henchmen, that their ability to use SS is diluted, isn't diminished if you play larger games. I would recommend mixing up the victory conditions in larger games, either come up with your own story encounter och use more than two schemes or something. If you just use the regular rules, chances are it will play just like a normal game, only it takes much longer.
  18. Counterspell aura, Vent Steam.
  19. Cg 7 and 1 for a threat range of 8 is rather common, even in Ressers, they are only cruise missile in the sense that they are one use. As they can hit fairly hard the other player will no doubt kill them promptly and end your card draw (they are perhaps good for FFM?). Philip can hang back while drawing cards so the other player will have to put some effort into getting to him.
  20. The file I posted contains a list of all standard models and some alt versions. Use it replace the hidden list page as per the "Instructions" page.
  21. Remember that the Vantage point rules is not used if the models are on the same height either. So, by RAW, if any models are standing on top of the same piece of blocking terrain that are the same Ht or taller than them they can not see each other at all. I've never met anyone who wanted to play like that and I wouldn't want to for cover either. The elevation rules are a shambles and since Aaron if more errata happy I hope he takes page 41 out back, shoots it, burns it and spreads the ashes in four major rivers.
  22. Titania/Aeslin The Wicked Silence "Place a Scheme Marker in base contact with target enemy model, then the target suffers 2 damage." There is also A trophy for the queen triggers that places a marker after succeeding, and while you can't use them on the same attack that kills the model they let you place markers without interacting and are nice if the enemy takes more than one hit to kill.
  23. There isn't anything official. The list update I posted towards the end should work. I'll see if I can get hold of Mako to get his permission to host the full spreadsheet.
  24. The older errata cards also appear in the generalist 1 and 2 decks and the campaign deck. I'm kind of curious if the latest round of errata will come in a hypothetical wave 5 generalist deck.
