Do you choose which comes first or does follow the path come first since it says WHEN this model activated, which sounds before "in the beginning of the activation"?

I had an opponent yesterday who strongly disagreed and wanted to push a model to the side of a scheme marker. I told him it was always directly to/from whenever 2 objects/models were involved but I thought it was in an errata. I will direct him here, if it happens again. Thanks.

I was almost certain that ALL pushes towards or away from object/models in Malifaux was center vs center, always. I thought I saw it in some errata example but I can't find it. Did I just remember it wrong? Some effects that pushes a model into base contact with something else, doesn't necessarily have to be directly towards the center?

Only a rat from enemies or friendlies with blight if KILLED.

I'm sure that person isn't the only one out there but it still seems strange to make tarot cards because of 0.2% of the customers? I'm sure we can find others with disabilities that Wyrd could take into account but usually a company looks at the majority of their customers. But I hope your friend will able to play with the new cards, I can't stop it anyway, I just hope 3rd edition will be just as good as 2nd, for him to get excited about. Something IS easier now: I don't have to take all the cards out of the sleeves or even out of the binder, everything becomes obsolete at the same time. Look at the bright side I suppose...

Hey lots of people love their phones, even people older than me! I know a lot of people who like having the cards. It's faster and easier for the opponent to quickly see something, like how many wounds everyone has left. I've heard a lot of people being happy about Warmachine and the app there but not everyone has a brand new smart phone... or even a smart phone.

I know a guy like that... ONE guy. He puts on glasses when he has to read something, and he made larger cards for schemes etc. So it seems a solution that very few people actually need.

I will never use an app as replacement for cards, then again, I'm not 14, so I like having the cards in front of me, not having to flip from model to model on a phone that's not very new.

So as a Henchman with about 400 models and all the stat cards in sleeves and in a binder with colored pages to match the factions, I just get a big old slap in the face with these new cards. 400+ sleeves down the drain along with my custom made colored pages for those stat cards. But hey, 3-4 people with poor eye sight like the bigger cards... great, can they buy me 400 new sleeves and new binders?

Wait a minute... will the new stat cards be a different size to the ones we have now? 😶 That would both suck AND blow. 500 sleeves I can throw in the trash, a huge binder with colored pages for each of the 6 factions I have I can also throw in the trash. I really hope that's just a rumor? 😥

If having 2 Masters in one crew is by no means overly powerful against a crew with just 1 Master, I fail to see how the game has become anything but simpler and more boring, compared to the best game I've ever played, which is what we have now.

I know. That's hardly the point. But I didn't play before 2nd edition so I'm glad to hear it MIGHT not be the end of the world...

This is something I fail to see improving the game. Right now, 2 Masters in the same crew would be impossible to predict and too powerful to play, due to the many combinations and the power of just 1 master. Feel like taking on Zoraida and Pandora at the same time? Or do you feel like controlling them at the same time? Your mind would explode. If that's actually playable in 3rd I fear the game has become very simple compared to 2nd. I really hope you prove me wrong, like the other hired Master has limited power in some way, to bring it down to earth a bit.

Yeah.

I disagree. I've often used him with minimal summoning. Simply used him to give Fast to strong models and position him to give support with his bubble. Now we might see more people do that, instead of just spamming Kentauroi or something.

I agree, I fail to see how a nerf or errata ruins the game for an amateur player just because he plays rarely and happen to play Sandeep (in this case). I have a feeling the arguments and points aren't really getting through? To each his own, I suppose. Malifaux is still the best and most balanced game I've ever played and it's true very few board games are this balanced (as WWHSD explained), but we rarely notice because we don't play the same board game 50 times a year, as we do Malifaux.

You can't compare Malifaux to a boardgame. A boardgame doesn't have rules for 500 different models in 7 factions + core rules to take into account when balancing everything. It's a lot faster (and more sensible) to nerf Sandeep than to make everyone twice as good to keep up with him. Veteran players won't whine about Sandeep, they know he was too powerful. Som new players who suddenly has to rely on skill and play Sandeep more wisely, will probably feel the world is unfair. Wyrd is doing a remarkable job when it comes to balance. Of course things will slip through, it's a huge game that only gets bigger but I like they correct things like these.

Fair enough, let's settle for "good" then. Keep in mind you get 2-3 every turn, that kind of helps IMO. Are they close to dying, paralyzed, burning, poisoned: presto, you make a swarm instead.

That, plus Df 6 Wp 6 (which I don't understand they have.) Top notch stats.

Yeah because Joss and steamfitters are worthless for the rest of the game. It's only turn 1 Joss might hand out a punch or two, against an electric creation or mobile toolkit. Then you'll have all the scrap markers you'll need for the rest of the game. (Those 2 scrap markers + steam arachnids dying throughout the game, in case you were wondering). Whereas Nicodem's friends need to create corpse markers every turn. Kind of a big difference IMO. Steam Arachnids are EXTREMELY good scheme runners. They can also be used to decrease enemy Df and/or to make Arachnid Swarms, which then get fully healed by the way.

Im not sure it had to take 2 YEARS before Sandeep got that nerf. It was quite obvious 12 months ago, og even 18 months ago. But I like the changes! Could have reduced Ironsides' Cache of 5 IMO. Why she has 5 even after she has been given the built in Tome on Df and 2 amazing upgrades is beyond me. Meanwhile, Von Schill still has 1. Keep it up, Wyrd!

Improved Harness says models in his aura may not have their armor ignored and may reduce damage regardless of ANY enemy effects that state otherwise. I would say this includes the ability from the Acolyte.

19 have signed up so far!

Since leagues are extremly popular we will start another one. This time only 1 game each month since people are busy getting tanned etc. We still need 6 rounds to determine I am still the King, as always I won't steal your prizes. 50 Dkr to participate, 50 SS fixed faction. Sign up by contacting me with name and faction, we start up July 1st and last round will be December where prizes will be given. For Danes, which I'm sure you all will be, except maybe a few Swedes?

After everything? Okay thanks. Not the worst ability then.
