  1. Hey Dzlier, now that the BTOS cards are out in the wild will we be seeing the app updated to include them?  Also I've noticed that the M3e app has some QOL that the TOS app is lacking, like being able to search for card text, clicking on the Hires line in Company screen bringing you to the Hires tab, etc., will that be in the future too?

    Morphling is still also attaching to 30mm units instead of 40mm units, and I think the Gibbering Hordes allegiance card is pre-errata.

  2. I posted these on the Discord a while ago but forgot I never put them here, so please enjoy my PDF of a simplified breakdown on the order of things!  It's not perfect, remember that you have to do one fireteam's actions fully before moving on to the other in all of the actions, but I hope it helps.

    Also, a picture that clarifies the difference between a unit and a fireteam because I know that's a sticking point for some when starting:

  3. Also on a more humorous (but still kinda serious) note can we errata to change the name of the game to something less vague?  When I search for The Other Side or TOS tokens nowadays all the top search results are for some stupid cryptocurrency lmao

  4. I love the game, enjoy it even more than Malifaux, but yeah the models are so bad I haven't painted a single one since getting it.  Partly because I don't want to deal with the hassle of fixing the way too common gap problems and partly because I just don't trust that the bendiness of the longer thin parts won't just destroy the paint that's on them over time.

  5. We absolutely need a new FAQ/errata, especially with two whole new allegiances about to drop.  My personal wishlist (besides card formatting and cleaning up wording stuff, since those'd be more likely solved in 1.5 or 2 if it ever happens):

    • Change all Adjuncts to be Combined Arms to remove base size restrictions on hireability (GH especially) (remove Epic Death Scene? since it's adding +1 body now?)
    • Change the Champion restriction on assets to just "Non-Squad/Titan" or something (it's basically pointless currently because almost no allegiances have Champions that aren't Commanders)
    • Let fireteams go to any portal marker as long as they aren't breaking squad cohesion
    • Make Aby's card draw trigger once per activation at least
    • Make Tracer Rounds go to a max of +2 at least, it's absurd how accurate and powerful they are for just 8 scrip on top of being the best card draw allegiance in the game

  6. (I'm not the one who noticed this interaction, credit to Ol Bill on the TOS Discord, just wanting to bring it to Wyrd's attention for future FAQ)

    • Knocking Down the Pillars of Reality: On any Turn after the first, if there are three unengaged Fireteams in this unit, discard the top card of your deck for every enemy Fireteam within the triangular area between this unit's Fireteams.  [...]

    If someone hires the ECB Black Ops with the Icon of the First World, then what is normally a three Fireteam unit suddenly has a fourth Fireteam.  RAW, I think this means a few things:

    • The ECB Fireteams can still use Knocking Down the Pillars of Reality but only if exactly one of their four Fireteams are killed or engaged
    • If one of the ECB Fireteams are engaged and the others are all alive, the engaged Fireteam can use Knocking Down the Pillars of Reality because it doesn't say anything about the user having to be unengaged

    The "triangular area" is a bit of a problem too, RAI it seems obvious it means "between this unit's unengaged Fireteams" but if the way you're getting exactly 3 unengaged Fireteams is that the 4th Fireteam is engaged you technically have a four-sided shape you could be drawing an area from because RAW it just says it's the area "between this unit's Fireteams."

  7. I played one game into Damien2 as Kaeris2 which was not a great matchup for me because he could so easily just clear burning in huge bubbles.  It seemed like an interesting crew but also like it might be a big mental load since you're basically having to keep track of two hands at the same time and considering what all the Configuration is giving you in each activation

    I'd be careful of prematurely judging things to be broken, just because assessing stuff without actually seeing it on the table is soooooo hard.

    For instance with the second title we've seen, he can delete any master that wanders near him... But can he force masters to wander near him? Probably not...

    immediate thought is just hire Toni1, very expensive but painful combo

  9. I think that pretty much sums up what's been shown publicly, I remember years and years ago we saw what we now know was a sculpt of Takiyasha at a convention, but I don't think we have any other pictures of mystery sculpts floating around.  Really hoping for an actual book release at gencon!

    I know this is an old thread, but I thought you could only bring envoys from the court as a gibbering hordes player? Is this an old rule that has been discarded or am I missing something?

    Love the idea of the cult black ops running around with fish people.

    The Envoy cards all have one of two rules on them: allies and syndicates.  Allies require you to bring a dual faction commander (like Horo for Hordes/Cult), while Syndicates are always available as an option (like Court).
