Clockwork Top Hat

Are there any other players interested in this but lacking a partner?

Can't wait to play them  

Well you can steal body part's from gravyards and use some cheap copperwire ...

Oh - you didn't mean...

In all seriousness Yan Lo is your guy

Sounds like a fun thing to try (I want to now - just need to build my gunsmiths.) The range is not as good as other faction's gunlines but hey - we're Arcanists not Ortegas! 

For your turn of heavy "shooting" you can use one or more clockwork pigeons to help the oxfordian mages' damage output.

Like has been said above you flip/cheat in one card once both to see if your spell is cast successfully and then compare that same result to the targets Wp/Df to see if the spell hits them/affects them.

I suppose that's a fair idea.

Sorry I can't be more help.

I buy models based on what I feel my crew/faction is lacking. For example I found I was lacking ranged offence for my arcanists so I recently bought the Gunsmiths. I also go on what looks cool

Hey Nathan. I'm a fellow player with severe social difficulties so I know how hard this kind of thing is. Sadly I don't have a huge lot of advice :/ Just hang in there and take it easy - try and integrate yourself slowly. Start by just trying to say hey and talking a tiny bit about the game - I found this helped me as it was diverting some of the focus of me and onto the game in question. Take it at your own pace  Good luck!

This is great as someone recently got me Willie with the 1st ed card so I need a new one  Now what to do for the other 9

I think you mean why does Victorian architecture like Malifauxs?

Outcast/Neverborn master - A mimic who grew up amongst Malifaux's orphans and seems almost human.

The starter set models are good for new players (especially with their simple rules) but for a demo you have a player there to help you so a more complex model that better represents the faction is better.

Hello and welcome! Just forward your paychecks to Wyrd it saves time.

Lillith with Bad Juju and Hexed amongst you to throw waldergeists is my approach to this. Waldergeists can then throw up a defensive wall against shooting for my models as they move up to meet them and place makers for breakthrough. Lilith can hurl either another schemer or a damage dealer/support model depending on crew match up with tangle shadows.

And could a mod move this to the UK sub forum? That'd be great

I'm currently organising a Malifaux campaign with the Pit Gaming Store over several months starting either in January or February at Thors Hammer Gaming Club in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire (I'll include a link below). We have a few players at club but any players nearby who would be interested message me or post here and I can let you know when more details are confirmed  The more players we have the better ^__^

Just as a quick explanation: status's such as poison and burning with +1 or +2 stack into the same condition. So it is only one condition to be removed.

I got my Kaeris box yesterday so hope to be getting in some games with her.

Hooded rider also gets masks but Flay is probably not as good as his other triggers.

Ah in that case my mistake.

Off the tip of my head Coppelius has a in his attack but not sure how great flay is with him and Bishop can gain  from adaptive.

Flay only effects Nephilim and if I remember correctly can only be taken  by them as well.

Barbaros - he makes an ok holder for this upgrade as he only has 1 personal upgrade. He does have other options as well.

Nekima - if you take her she doesn't need the flay but others benefit from it. She has better options though.

Angel Eyes - she's less likely to be in the middle of combat then other models which means she's less likely to be taken out (and there by loosing the upgrade for the game)

Lelu & Lilitu - both good for this upgrade and they don't have many other competing upgrade choices in a Lilith crew.

Mr Graves - depends how you play him but in my experience he often goes down about halfway through. Personally I wouldn't put this on him.

Tuco - Tuco isn't going to be in the thick of things with any luck and as Obsidian Talons has no range limit he's a good option to keep the upgrade in effect through out the game.

Depending on crew make up and schemes/strats the holder of Obsidian Talons could be the focus of quite a bit of fire (in a kill heavy pool against rezzers for example being able to cheat through  damage flips.

No - Instinctual let's a model take "two (0) Actions during it's Activation as long as they are both different."

I have a few gaming friends/contacts in Nottingham will ask them if they know of any Malifaux players there for you
