I heard that, and that is was pretty great.

Can we finally get this? Pretty please?

Fair enough, changed.

To be fair, you also said in the original post that you weren't trying to make your opinion seem better than others, and then got locked into an argument about how your opinion is 'provably' better than others. So it's hard to take the 'it's just my opinion' argument.

I've got to say, I've never found the Doppleganger to be that impactful. Cheating Initiative is nice, but I generally have my high cards earmarked for things before the initiative flip, and cheating the Initiative flip means one of those actions needs to rely on luck. It's nice if you're in a situation were, for example, your master is about to get killed and getting Initiative can save it, but I haven't found cheating the Initiative flip to be as useful as some make it out to be.

Both of those would be great.

Fairly certain that it was Titanias pact with the Grave Spirit that zombied her. Lilith might come out of these extremely pissed off, but I doubt she'll be undead.

Another thought - alternate Changelings that look like the Changelings spawning on the Emissary's base.

Oh man I'd love a Krampus Twisted Alternates set.

Just to be different, I'd like to see Titania in more Royal looking garb, rather than the rags she's currently wearing.

I'm pretty happy with the game. There's a few mechanics I'm not find of - I think Vantage Point could do to be rewritten, but I don't think the game needs a new edition. I think at M2.5E would be healthy for the game, just to roll some erratas into the print rules and fix a few things that aren't working well. The issues that seem to come up most often are due to unit imbalances, which you don't do a new edition to fix.

Yes. All Peons and Minions reduce damage by 2. All Enforcers and Henchmen reduce damage by 1. IIRC, there's no 'to a minimum of 1' either like Armour.

I hear you. We've got someone who is Thunders mad, so I thnk Three Knigdoms will push him over the edge into playing the game. Alas, being so far away, he'll probably watch us play until the Allegiance is out.

That's true, but remember that while it was a 6ss minion in the beta, it was also height 3 and on a 50mm base. It was always going to be a large model. That thing however, is the size of Chompy, who is height 4. So while he's bigger than expected, I was still expecting a big model anyway.

I thought about those but all the fluff talks about Titania and her Knights (well, at least the Tooths victims) being surrounded by flowers rapidly growing around her rather than dangerous looking plants. That's more in Liliths wheelhouse.

We don't even have the four core Allegiances yet. My guess is, since they're a last page 'teaser' image in the rulebook, they're going to be for the first expansion book.

I thought I saw an update that said wave 5 was done. Or being done. They're not in there, so I'd guess it's in progress.

From memory, Commander level will get 2 Fate decks. The deck in the Allegiance box and a special edition kickstarter Fate deck. Neither are the Allegiance specific deck. For Tokens you get 5 Allegiance specific Tactics tokens in the Allegiance box (pretty sure these are card stock) and a pack of Acrylic tokens.

I think that's a good size for Nekima. She's about triple the body mass of Lilith and double her height (if she was standing up rather than leaning into a run). Not as huge as old Nekima, but this one isn't as jarring in size difference while still being noticeably bigger. Grootslang is cool. For a 6ss, 7W minion it's lolhuge, but I like it. Cyclops is great and a good size. Strangely bigger than Teddy while having lower stats, but I really like it.

Neverborn/Outcast This could be a good way to do Nekima as a master. Give her Infiltration Nephilim so she can still take a few normal Nephilim, and introduce some more half breed Nephilim in Outcasts so that Lilith can't take them. I'd honestly like to see the existing half breeds given a new keyword as well to replace Nephilim, so that Nekima can get some abilities to target them but not normal Nephilim. There's nothing to my knowledge that actually targets Nephilim (Grow targets Terror Tots, Young Nephilim and Mature Nephilim by name, and I'm pretty sure everything else targets Black Blood).

I heard there's alternate art for all of the masters showing how they've changed. Is that true? What about the newer masters?

Well that's sad news. I was really looking forward to From Nightmares.

Yeah, immediately spreading to Asia when the core game already includes Europe (or Great Britain, at least) and Africa is a smart decision. I'm curious what Oni being aligned with Malifaux means for the fluff. So far I haven't seen it directly mentioned they originate from Malifaux. It would be very interesting if they expand on what we know of the land masses on Malifaux - we only know of Malifaux City and its immediate surroundings, and that there's an ocean which is where the Gibbering Hordes reside. There's a whole world there, Oni could originate from an entirely different part of Malifaux.

Since it's more battlefields, I'll probably go back to using sand and flock. Though I've had a real urge to base my Hordes as though they're on the beach, so sand with patches of damper sand and little water pools.

I'll submit mine. This is currently the only one I've finished, but I have 3 others in progress. This one had some modification of the arms into a pose I liked better.
