    Oh, another thing I meant to add - the games I played with Ya Lo were all with the Terracotta Warrior - that guy and Chiaki and the Emissary is a whole bunch of goodness.

    Having Yan Lo with Ancient Protection, Fast and Recalled Training basically EVERY round is just nuts! :D

    Terracotta is nice, but I hate to proxy models (I know the Goryo is also a proxy, but he is too good to not field him :D). In addition I don't like to not ascend Yan Lo, because the Terracotta Upgrade Switch only works as long as I have not more than 3 Upgrades and I always tend to start with 3, so the Recalled Training swap, doesn't work because 4 Upgrades is against the restrictions at the beginning of the game. Chiaki is always a consideration, but I have often seen her doing less than other options for 6 SS.

    I've had a look at your blog before, but didn't have the time to read the BR then.

    Did that now, read all of them. At first, I didn't really like the move-by-move format, but got used to it quickly and the advantage is that nothing is missing. So I really enjoyed the reports, thanks for taking the time to write them down and keep up the good work!

    Found them especially interesting because I recently finished up my Yan Lo crew and ran him in a tournament for the first time, so it's nice to be reading about the old geezer in other player's hands. :)

     

    Thank you for your input. I know sometimes it get annoying to read through the "not important" activations, but I often read battlereports where i didn't get what most of the models were doing the whole game, so i decided to try this format. :)

    I really like Yan Lo and don't see why so many people out there hate him that much. He is not the killer or something like that, but he has so much utility with his lightning dance and place effects, that this could turn the tide of a game.

    I like these reports - thank you for taking the time to write them! It's nice to read about Yan Lo and you're playing him well. Totally rooting for you in every report!

    This last one was a bit painful, though. Ouch! Levi is a very tough match-up for Yan Lo in general, I think.

    Thank you. Yeah Levi is always a hard one, but the biggest problem this time was the totally underestimated Desolation Engine. I am always thinking about what Yan Lo and his crew could have done, but I didn't found a solution yet, but I am confident I will find a satisfying solution for this problem :P

    These were a joy to read. Always nice to see how other people play the game. Removing the Peacekeeper turn one was a nice move. I take it you had some good cards to help make sure it happened? I've lost my Lone Swordsman more than once to a bad flip and a hand that just wasn't good enough to compensate.

    Your Dark Side crew is coming along nicely too. I'll be following its progress in the pictures. :)

    Thank you. Yeah, I had one high tome and with recalled training and 4 attacks, I had to risk it because my opponent seemed to not have a really good hand :D

    I will include some pics of the crew as soon I get some of them painted :)

    Young Nephilim in Perdita's crew? Interesting choice ;)

    I'm not a fan of star wars at all, but I appreciate the cleverness of the idea. Can't wait to see your miniatures painted!

    Ah, I should stop to writing my reports at 2 am... :P

     I'll change that, when I am at home.

    Pics of the crew will hit my blog as soon they get painted :)

    Hi, I'm Ben and I play Malifaux very regularly, after a good friend started his blog, I decided it would be awesome to have one too for my Star Wars inspired Yan Lo Crew and also to cover more games in Vienna with battle reports.

    So I hope you will enjoy my future battle reports.

  19. Missing Communication

    in Wyrd Board Help and Code of Conduct

    Posted

    Hello Wyrdos!

    I am playing malifaux for 3 years now and over the last few months I got really disappointed by wyrds communication with their customers and fanbase.

    Don't want to say that they are the worst at communication, they are clearly not, but I remember a time where they were much better, much more open and talkative.

    I also know that they attend many conventions and faced some changes within the team of wyrd which might naturally delay some things, but this is not an excuse for me because all this stuff doesn`t happen just overnight. Yeah, they are just human and earn their spare time and I really understand this, but this leads to my main topic of the thread. It's missing communication.

    Now I want to give you some examples (if I´m are wrong,  pls correct me, this is just an observation of mine):

    When I started to play Malifaux, it was always clear when things are about to being released, maybe not six months in the future, but the next two months were always clear. (not via an upcoming page, but back then the chronicles always had the upcoming release schedules)
    Today I am looking on an upcoming page which tries to excite me with the releases of October. We don't know what will be released in April. 

    Also Easter Sale is around the corner, but nobody knows what will be available. So nobody is able to dedicate their money, maybe it's just me, but I always want to plan my monthly budget. 
    Back in the days I started we knew 1 month prior the sale at least what will be up for sale.

    My last point I mention here today is the delayed models problem. Swinecursed and will o wisps are delayed, but where is wyrds official statement on the delay? Nowhere. Only silence. Today I saw a post at a wyrd place stating that they will be available at adepticon, can`t confirm if it`s true as the post seems to be deleted just hours later. 
    At the beginning of my malifaux gaming there were announcements about delays in the chronicles.

    I`ll just stop here and please don't get me wrong, I really love wyrd and malifaux, but I also think criticism is allowed in order to improve situations which are not satisfying and I want the game and company to stay as great as they are (were?), or see them getting even better.

    Thanks to everyone who read through this.

  20. [Austria - Vienna] Malifaux on the 1st of April - 50ss fixed faction tournament

    in Europe

    Posted

    We also use Bag O' Tools for the first time and we would really appreciate, that players who will attend our tournament sign in prior the event.

    We will not demand any payment or something like that in advance. :D

    Bag O' Tools

    Just create an account and sign up for our tournament. If you don't want to create an account, you could also pm me.

    But joining at the store at the tournament day is also possible :)

    Hope to see many of you soon.

    Hey, awesome work so far.

    I just came up with two small enhancements:

    How about adding numbers and symbols for the schemes and strats (for the symbols just a "R" for rams would be enough)

    How about a including something like team protection for the first round, because we often are visited by other communities and we want to try to make games against people we don't know that well.

    Greetings from Austria.

  23. November LGS Promotion

    Btw. I did not receive the December promo yet (maybe it 's because I am located in Europe?) Or did other Europeans already have their promo? How Long does it usually take them to ship? (sorry I am new to Malifaux)

    I got mine today. I am living in Austria.

    It always takes a while, because they are being shipped after the month is over and i think this time it took a little bit longer due to the Kickstarter of TOS. Normally i would say they arrive 3 weeks after the end of the promo. :)
