Hello my fellow ressers. Two of the people I play most frequently with heavily favor Ramos, because of this I end up playing against him in half of my games. I still haven't figured out how to win. I currently have the McMourning and Seamus boxes, the hanged, punk zombies, a box of canine remains, yin and a second flesh construct. I commonly proxy stuff for autopsies (any sort of proxies are fine in my group). With that said, I can never seem to win. Ramos just sits in his deployment zone and pumps out 2-3 spiders per turn. This is enough for him to have scheme runners or use them to tie up my own models or take away my markers. It generally does not seem to matter what the strat or scheme pool is. If only the spiders were peons I would have no problem. So anyway, what can I do against the arachnid threat? Trying to kill Ramos never seems feasible because I would have to waste so many activations just to get into position since he just hangs out at the back of the table. If I ignore him the spider horde just gets out of hand.

Do tactical actions that are "Ca" actions require LOS? (For instance, the brass arachnid's stoke action) Thanks.

Ok, I know there have been a lot of questions about shooting into engagements. My question is rather simple and I was having trouble finding the answer in old posts. To qualify as "shooting into an engagement" do models have to be engaged AND within 2 inches? Meaning, lets say two models are two inches away but only have a 1 inch melee range, do you randomize targets when targeting one of them? What about a scenario where two models are three inches away but one of them has a three inch melee range? thanks!

I ended up going Resser, got a pretty bad whoopin playing 35 pt Seamus out of the box but had a fairly easy win with a 50 point McMourning crew.

Hi everyone, I recently started to play this wonderful game. I currently have Seamus and McMourning. I am not really concerned with acquiring any new masters but I was wondering what models to get to compliment what I have. Thus far Punk Zombies and The Hanged seem pretty good (possibly more canine remains for Sabastian's summon ability). Are those good choices? Is there anything else that is crucial for these masters? Thanks!

Thanks for the quick replies. My only question now is, in the core book it says the poison damage cannot be reduced or negated. I understand that reduced is from such conditions as armor, but what do they mean by "negated"? Is "negated" different from "prevent" (as in a prevent damage flip).

Hi everyone. I have a couple questions regarding the interactions between armor,poison and expunge. First off, does armor reduce the damage from McMourning's Expunge? He has precise, which reads "damage caused by this model ignores armor and hard to wound." Expunge deals damage based upon the models poison condition, but it is NOT damage from the poison condition, the source seems to be McMourning. This leads me to believe that Expunge ignores armor (when cast by McMourning). Second question, according to the core rules, Poison deals 1 damage that cannot be reduced or negated. How does this interact with Sebastian's Induction ability? Does this become 3 poison damage that cannot be reduced or negated? Or can Armor reduce this to a minimum of 1? Final question. As said earlier, poison deals 1 damage that cannot be reduced or negated, the rules say this happens in the upkeep step. If a model takes poison damage during it's activation (from catalyst) can this damage be reduced or negated? Thank you everyone!

My LGS is having their first malifaux league which starts tomorrow. With that said, I am not sure what faction to pick (must use the same faction for the whole league). I have been playing for about 2 weeks. I have the following crews, Perdita, Sonnia, Lady Justice, McMourning, and Seamus. Obviously I have more options for guild so that is the logical choice. I really like McMourning but I have only played him as resser. I like to try using him to poison bomb (not sure if thats really the optimal way but I enjoy it). I guess a big factor is, is McMourning good in guild (seems like he is still capable of dishing out the poison but to a slightly lesser degree). So any input on if I should go resser or guild? (Bonus question: with the models I have, whats a good 35 pt and 50 pt list for Guild McMourning)

Hello everyone! I just started this fantastic game recently and I am looking to rope in two friends. I would like to be able to make good recommendations for them (which is tough because I am just figuring this all out for myself). They come from two very different ends of the spectrum so I will need to tailor my advice for each of them. Friend A is a pretty big gamer (more so than myself, although I have more experience with miniature games). He has already started looking at models and is heavily leaning towards Arcanists. I know that he enjoys intricate styles of play, not so much a fan of straightforward, one trick pony strategies. He wants options. He also doesn't mind if this means he is going to have a hard time at first while he wraps his head around his crew (though I will say it would be nice if its one of those situation where you can SEE the potential on paper at least, even if you can't execute initially). Friend B has MUCH less experience with gaming but is willing to try anything if it seems fun. He will need something more straightforward. He has not looked at models. Obviously he will decide what appeals to him but I would like some options to help narrow things down for him. Again, he will more likely enjoy something where the strategy is more readily apparent. If it makes any difference I currently have the Lady Justice and the Perdita box. I am using Perdita. (Haven't even assembled the other box yet). Thank you everyone.

I think this one fits Perdita for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mNTMaAZS5E

Hi everyone, new to the game and had 3 questions come up in my game tonight. 1. My enslaved nephilim took damage. Francisco was within an inch from him. Can Francisco use a soul stone to do a prevent damage flip to prevent damage from black blood? 2. This question regards blast damage. Can you center the blast template directly over the target if you wanted? 3. To my understanding you cannot push a model through climbable terrain. Now lets say a model is already ontop of a climbable object, can they be pushed off of it? (If they can I assume they would have to use part of the movement to make the vertical distance downward). Thanks everyone!
