  1. Incorrect, each clause is counted separately. So in your example you'd score 1 VP when the Skulker Fireteam is killed, then later you'd score 1 VP for killing a Fireteam near an Objective Marker and 1 VP for killing the unit. Otherwise, since everything is made of Fireteams, it'd be almost impossible to score more than 1 VP from kills each turn.

    Emotes

    So now that TOS is out and people are likely to talk about it more on here, could we get the Magic, Morale, and Flip icons turned into emotes? Also, should we get a batrep section added too?
  3. I would strongly recommend giving Kassa 2 assets (I suggest maxing out on all Commanders), since losing her is a BIG blow both for your synergies and giving your opponent VP. But yeah, it's a good idea behind the list in general!
  4. Eel spam, while good, relies on synergy to get going. 2-3 Eels are, weirdly enough, going to be more survivable overall than 4-6. Remember they're relying on their good Df and expending RT's to negate damage, so someone like Maggie who can force a unit to dump all of their tokens (or really just the Empire in general for their PT output) can just mow them down. As was mentioned above, definitely put it on the board first. There's probably a sweet spot as far as the # of Eels you bring in, but I don't think "use ALL the Eels!" is going to be a winning strategy.
  5. Totally depends on how you're building. If you're taking a mix of Dreadnought/Mech Infantry/Steel Legion then Kassa's probably a better bet. But if you're bring Electrocutioners or want access to auto-Reinforcing, Prince U's your call. Or hey, bring both and let Kassa give the Cutter's extra actions while Prince U auto-Reinforces them when they get injured.
  6. The thing about the cheap spammable models is that bringing a handful of them is strong, but as soon as you can no longer reliably keep them topped up with the resources they need (RT's for Eels, ST's for Rhinos, etc) then they fall apart. It's why the 16 Rhino list, while hilarious, is pretty bad even though their natural durability should make it strong because all it takes is one hit and it's gone.
  7. Each player has to pass for the turn to end, either player can keep passing without it occurring if the other player doesn't do it.
  8. Looks about right! Don't forget that unlike in Malifaux you can start scoring turn 1, so while this does set you up for a solid late game it does mean you're going to be behind in VP for a while. Just having the Frenzy and Horo throw a lot of RT's onto the Eels slows down your company less and it still should let you spike up your # of Eels right away.

  10. Yes, it doesn't matter what killed the Fireteam or unit, it's just the fact that one was killed that scores the VP. So don't bring Egg Clutches/Breachlings into Pitched Assault! With that said, eating one of your own Fireteams will rarely actually matter for the score - if your opponent fails to kill a single one of your Fireteams in a turn, you're probably in a very good position already
  11. The easiest answer is because that's what the game was balanced around. If you don't want your non-Tide Pool water to be Concealing, just don't play it with it. All of the traits in the Terrain Examples are "suggested" traits, not required ones.
  12. Two rules to keep in mind for this: So, while Concealing terrain does not block Line of Sight (you can see the Gibbering Hordes units on the other side of a Tide Pool), because your LoS is crossing a piece of Concealing terrain, the Gibbering Hordes units have Cover from your attacks.
  13. It works exactly like it says. It provides Cover "as if" it was Blocking instead of by actually doing so.
  14. Yikes, stories like that make me glad I live in good old freezing cold Canada!
  15. The most recent update said the warehouse workers got a two day weekend, hence the lull. Shipments are still happening as per Discord chat.
  16. For those of you who missed the announcement, I've got a new series going in Chronicles where I'm covering tips and tricks with each Allegiance's Commanders and the first article is on CoBM's Adeodatos and Fenton! If you're just getting into the Cult, give it a look And if you're more experienced with the Cult, feel free to add more tips below!
  17. I'm still waiting for the Homestuck game to fully release and I backed that back when I actually read it It had an original release date of Dec 2012 lmao
  18. The original projected delivery month was Dec 17, so it was delayed by 10 months (but then again, I've literally never had one of my KS' arrive on time). Looks like everyone whose gotten their things yet is US based, hoping the int'l stuff arrives soon too!
  19. The problem with the current rules are that people found vantage rules confusing and unnecessarily complicated.
  20. Incorrect, the allegiance boxes are built to be viable 1C lists. They might not have as many options in them as a 1C list from someone with multiples of everything, but for their cost you can literally open the box and immediately start playing at your LGS with just that.
  21. I'm definitely on the hype train, can't wait to finally have these models! I've got some base rollers waiting to get them ready ASAP, and I've got some locals who want to demo which should be good.
  22. Drop Myranda (Kaeris already has built-in card draw) and put in the Fire Golem. The FG's basically designed to flat out improve Kaeris, it's a must take with her.
  23. Discord link: https://discordapp.com/invite/eCm6KvJ There's also a facebook group (The Other Place) that gets pretty decently regular chats too!
  24. From my understanding of what they've said Wyrd is shipping the stuff out to the distributors, and the distributors are the ones that actually ship to us so we don't get blasted by customs (obviously this is only the internationals, Wyrd's probably shipping direct for the US folks). Us not getting shipping notifications yet most likely means that the distributors haven't forwarded them on yet.
  25. Backerkit closed to new orders a few months ago, but it's going to retail soon so you'll be able to pick stuff up then.
