  1. If I go Arcanist, I think I want to aim for Marcus so would have to start with Myranda. Not sure how her transformation sacrifice affects dying for the purposes of the campaign though. But 8ss + an upgrade at 2 leaves 25ss to play with, a couple of december acolytes and a pair of molemen could be interesting with a raptor for giggles. Not sure if it's better to go with a henchman hardcore filth list though. If I go with Outcasts, I'm probably going with Hannah and assorted Freikorps for giggles with a void wretch or two.
  2. I'm surprised dual faction masters don't have one upgrade that is unique to each faction. So Brewmaster can hire Tri Chi as an upgrade in Ten Thunders, but can't bring anything Thundery with him to Gremlins? That's a slight aesthetic design oversight. That he pays for it when the other Ten Thunders guys have it built in to their cards is also a bit weird, but not the point here.
  3. Wild Boars aren't beasts sadly, just Swamp Fiends. Unless that changed?
  4. I would never have considered a War Pig with Marcus, giant Wolpertinger or not.
  5. I think we're dawning on the start of a solid "M&SU" set up for set faction events now. Ironsides just seems so flexible with her manoeuvrability, which coupled with her endurance and the increasing pool of plastic, available M&SU minions will give her options across a lot of schemes and strategies. The four M&SU masters have a lot of crew synergy, which Rasputina, Colette and Marcus lack.
  6. I'm keenly anticipating the plastic Rasputina stuff (silent ones/blessed of December/snowstorm) if for no other reason than a plastic Blessed for Marcus. If you're sticking to plastics (which is what I'm doing) December Acolytes and Silurids are a great place to start. There's also a lot to be said for a Dawn Serpent and Rogue Necromancy. You also can't go wrong with Joss and Mechanical Rider in any Arcanist list.
  7. I'm after a plastic Papa Loco, as well as more or less any beast, on sprue. I have a War Rabbit new on sprue I can trade, or I have cash. UK based.
  8. I'm definitely interested, will make sure something is uploaded by the 27th.
  9. Ironsides, Captain, 3x Oxfordian Mage and Mouse would be my guess.
  10. Pending flights to and from cork from the midlands, I might be interested. I'll consult with Mr. Henry.
  11. Apparently these were released as a limited product in multiples of five? Looking for a couple for a Collodi crew, if you can help me out give me a buzz!
  12. Some models like Toshiro, even though a henchman, let you hire other models to your crew. So Toshiro allows any Ten Thunders crew that hires him to hire up to four Punk Zombies (and Toshiro is ridiculous).
  13. Looks tight. Any idea on ticket prices/reservations yet?
  14. But Nicodem doesn't have Reliquary or Mr. Tannen
  15. Dark Sphere had it??? Well, if they did it's gone because I just rung the store and they couldn't find it on the shelf.
  16. I think there's a doubles event being planned for June as well?
  17. Was good to meet both yourself and Tim and have a quick chat. Glad that I was able to contribute to the new cases!
  18. I'd let events with less than twelve players score, but just score less. It's not that difficult to implement. Encourages participation in larger events for the good players without excluding anyone.
  19. Yeah, I've spent a fortnight looking for Coryphee in the UK with no luck anywhere. And ideally I need four (2 individuals 1 duet). I'm resigned to waiting for Colette's plastic releases. I'm still buying her avatar and using the bunny from the hat figure of her as a master though.
  20. Who handles it better? Games Workshop, who don't announce new lines until the week before they're released? Molly's metal crew + Arsenal deck = M2E Molly. The other option is that they don't tell you Molly exists until the month she is released, and don't release her rules until that point so that you can't even use your old models. There are only a handful of masters that are strictly 'unplayable' because they have never had figures made for them. Shenlong, Brewmaster, Ironsides, Tara (limited nightmare release aside), Mah Tucket and Ulix. And those without Wyrd figures are still playable at official events if that tickles your fancy because Wyrd are incredibly generous on unreleased figures, so if you really wanted to you could find a solution. Of course shiny plastics are preferable, but it's strictly wrong to say that you couldn't play Molly if you didn't want to because metal sculpts exist. But eve Nintendo aren't releasing all their Amiibo figures at once, the release is staggered. Fantasy Flight stagger X-Wing. The only concession I would make in this discussion is that there should probably be a greater focus on Master crew releases than minion box sets so that the majority of styles are serviced.
  21. They release over ten sets a month, they can't do much more without causing over-saturation. Octobers release are here http://elementgames.co.uk/new-releases?release=1413759600_malifaux The issue is, if they say set x or y is coming out in November, and then it gets pushed back, consumers get disappointed (see the Brewmaster which was meant to have been released in April). There's enough coming out every month that players should be kept busy. If you want a master that hasn't been released, you either have to suck it up and get the metals, or wait like everyone else. I'm desperate for Brewmaster, Fermented Monks and Jack Daw but I understand that with over 35 crews and even more minion sets, things take time.
  22. So I bought a selection of resin bases last week so that I can finally get to work on Ramos, however I have never worked with resin before. What's the best way to wash and dry them? The cobblestone bases don't have much detail besides the cobbles, but I brought some scrap one for use as scrap markers and I'm wary of water or soap getting stuck in the recesses of the detail.
  23. Thanks for replying, but I should be concluding a trade in person on Saturday.
  24. Having just started Ramos, I think your next immediate purchases should be a set of Arachnid Swarms (check the box to make sure it comes with two swarms/six spiders and not one swarm/three spiders) and an Electric Creation. This buffers your summoning options, and the 9 Spider 1 Swarm split touted earlier is what I'm going with as well. After that, it comes down to preference of aesthetics and model material. Coryphee and Soulstone aren't available in plastic yet but work really well with Ramos, as does Johan/a. Some ranged assistance from December Acolytes can also be useful for some schemes, especially with their deployment rules. And the Mechanical Rider is very interesting, but again only available as metal right now. My current purchases have been as such: Ramos Crew Mei Feng Crew (was cheap on ebay and Ten thunders is my other faction, plus Rail Worker synergy) Electric Creation My next immediate purchases: Arachnid Swarms (the M2E box with two swarms/six spiders) x2 (total of 12 spiders 2 swarms, really need to work out how good swarms are above 2 in play even in synergistic schemes) Acolytes of December (one box of 3, few more ranged options, good for you if you also fancy Rasputina) Johana Electric Creation (so that I can start with one in the crew and summon another with Ramos if activation order necessitates it) Metal Gamin (one box of 3)
  25. I got one today, it's going to be...interesting.
