You should check out the allegiance decks from The Other Side.

Here's a picture of the Earth one.

Like people have mentioned in the various discord channels. Hopefully the other Story models all have abilities that proc when they get moved. Could turn it into an interesting crew.

Really looking forward to the next book.

What masters are you leaning towards the most right now?

Yeah, they have a deck with a black and red joker that comes with the module.

The decks in the vassal modules seem kind of small but they look fine in vassal so maybe I was just seeing the thumbnail files or something. The images in the example deck are about 500px wide. But to make your own decks all you need is images of the front of the cards (just big enough to look nice) and one for the back of the deck. You can just select whichever ones you want to make smaller twist decks.

If you're fancy you can give the cards an actual value in a yaml file but until there is a character sheet for that to be used with it doesn't accomplish anything.

This module handles decks pretty well for Foundry. You can make a main fate deck and different twist decks for each character, offers hand management and most of the basic functions you need.

What we really need are decent images of a fate deck to use without me having to scan all of one myself...

So from the gencon video I guess book X is confirmed to be a Ten Thunders book. I still think it would be cool to have an expanded armory/bestiary book though. Seems like it would be all around useful.

And I would guess an Explorer's Society book would be incoming eventually, but I second wanting to see a book focusing on Earth side.

I didn't know about Foundry. Thanks for making this post so I could find it.

I tried New Yan and Kenshiro out today. Really mobile, Yan Lo scored me the Symbols of Authority points by easily running all the way to the back corners. Also having Kenshiro's upgrade out and getting 3 tactics tokens a turn really helps when you get bad flips.

Since Take the Hit starts by placing the model in base contact, that means Yan Lo would get placed again too right? If it was his Komainu taking the hit for him. Assume the enemy is in base contact with Yan Lo, you could have the Komainu take the hit and get placed on the opposite side and then place Yan Lo a couple of inches away from that. So after the initial attack resolves you're at least 40mm away from the attacking model right?

My only hope is that with all the Charm Warders, monks, Yan Lo and Asami there is probably no faction better equipped to eventually exorcise the Burning Man's influence from our esteemed Oyabun's pristine body and soul to make her whole once more.

That's pretty true. I guess maybe the Ten Thunders will have to end up saving the world again.

Really liking Impromptu Invention. Can she just hand out Adversary(whatever)? The rules say that Adversary is a Keyword, Characteristic, or Name; so just handing out Adversary(Construct or Foundry) or whatever you have a couple of models ready to charge in with.

But just being able to do Fast, Slow, Stunned, with the possibility of then having them Walk or Interact (Or remove destructable terrain) depending on what the situation calls for seems both really fun and good to me.

Not sure about Salvage Site stopping the damage from Burning or Poison, I'm guessing no but I haven't looked closely at the timing yet. Besides letting people be Reckless for free what other effects do damage that aren't attacks or terrain?

Rusted Metal letting him protect scrap markers sounds pretty nice but I think him doing that too much would just paint a target on his back.

My initial reaction was also to think that it was more of the Ten Thunders organization that is fracturing and Misaki trying to hold it together. I guess we'll just have to wait and find out.

Has anyone tried Yamaziko? She might be a bit pricey for what she does but depending on the strats and schemes she might be useful but I like the idea of putting more pressure on their hand.

I haven't played any Youko yet but she's definitely a master I'm interested in.

Colored pencil entries by my wife and I. Hers is the better one.

It  probably wouldn't be that hard to at least make a version that isn't rules enforced. Especially if you used the existing Malifaux module as a base.

I actually had British written in my post originally, but then changed it because I remembered them playing Oh Canada on the podcast. I've just recently started reading all the fluff in the rulebook.

I like the idea of just having a perceived threat affect the enemies movement. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more time with him on the table and see what I can do.

Since there is a new alt sculpt I thought it would be good to make a thread to celebrate our favorite Canadian sniper. Tell us about tactics and cheesy things you do with him, but also stories of cool or funny things that he's done in your games.

I personally have not used him enough and look forward to putting him on the table more soon.

Woo! Been waiting for these since I already have too much stuff on my bookshelf.

Is there a chronological order to the books? Or are each factions stories more self contained?

I do a lot of cardstock modelling of terrian and stuff. Seems like a good way to do proxies. It's hard to be confused about what it is when you use the official artwork.

Yeah, I was going to mention Terracotta Warriors can help you lower flicker. My favorite thing though is that they can do Ama No Zako's Miasma. Granted you need a decent crow and they aren't immune to its effects. But it's a large area and if more than one model has it up, you can cover a lot of the board.

Also just turning into another jorogumo after you've had one die isn't too shabby either.

I feel like Oni might be Terracotta Warrior's best keyword.

Yeah, I was hoping to see the new Chiaki and soul porter too but I guess we'll have to wait.

Spying some new artwork on some of the upgrade cards. Can't wait to see it in the books (and in plastic).

I like the two colored backgrounds on the dual faction models. Also like the sepia tone on the vintage versions. Good job.

So I just reread the Obsidian Statue's card today and saw the Intense Heat ability (During the Start Phase, enemy models with Burning gain Burning +1). We actually have a fair amount of models that hand out burning. Just wondering if anyone had tried a crew focusing on it? It could mean a lot of wasted AP on the enemy team trying to get rid of it all, or they just stay on fire the whole game. It might not be super practical but could be fun. If I get a chance to try it out soon I will post the results here.

Just for reference here are the models with built in burning:

Mei Feng
Forgeling
Dawn Serpent
High River Monk
Obsidian Oni
Komainu
Wanyudo
Obsidian Statue

Shen with High River Style

Kang can too but he needs a tome to do it.

Seriously, they are so much more intimidating.
