  1. Basically any Freikorps that have useful abilities for Hannah to duplicate, like Librarians.

    I'm not sure about I Pay Better in small games. Cards are too precious to easily discard.

    I started with Rusty Alyce with From The Aether, as having a free model now and again can be very helpful, and giving her Instinctual as an upgrade allows her to summon every turn for a 7 and a 10.

    M3e is probably about a year away so there should br plenty of time to learn a new master unless you intend to mostly beta test m3e until the official release.

    And that is why news of it should have been kept under wraps until about three months out from release. Knowing 3.0 is coming out creates apprehension for players, as evidenced by this post.

  3. Four of the masters I'm interested in, Collodi, Nicodem, Ramos, and Lilith, all gone.

    Hoffman is taking over Ramos's role in Arcanists, but there doesn't seem to be anyone for those who liked the other three masters.

  4. He received the Leveticus treatment.

    When you pick up a Malifaux master of the older generation, every rule on their card is written and balanced with every other rule on their card. If you change one then you have to be willing to change the others to rebalance them.

    Without his positive flips Leveticus has too low a damage track for a master.

    Without his ability to summon relatively healthy minions, Nicodem's role as a summoner ceases to be relevant.

    Asura Rotten and Kentauri were the things that pulled Nicodem above the high median. Kentauri could have been made unsummonable, or requiring two corpse markers. Asura could have had some of her abilities toned down, perhaps not summoning a Mindless Zombie until the end of the turn, but no.

  5. I suspect that Nicodem has just received the Leveticus treatment.

    Leveticus was designed around the idea that you'd be burning his wounds and your hand to do a bunch of low but consistent damage. Take away that mechanic and suddenly his damage track is too low for a master.

    Nicodem is meant to be a support summoner, a bit like Dreamer, but he has no passive healing effect so one wound summons will just be chaff, and he probably won't have the resources to heal. If he had a passive healing aura, and could summon Undead Enforcers then the investment might be worthwhile... but probably not as it stands.

  6. Wargame Vault has the past cards available for print. All the expansion decks are worth getting for the extra options they open up in your crew, although if you have the app you'll have most of them (except for models like Mindless Zombies which can't be hired so can't be accessed through the app, they didn't implement my idea of a "summon" menu which allows you access to the stats of models you're summoning).

    I'm really curious, so I have to ask - did you have an opportunity to put all these models on the table in the past? 

    I think I've managed to get four Rat Kings on the table once, but I was really working on it. Rats tend to be cycled into Kings, or just die, so I don't think I've managed to put all 12 down.

    On the other hand I do keep forgetting that enemy models, and friendly models with blight, that die near Hamelin also summon rats, so there's that.
