Lots of other great advice here, but I justbhave to say - Sensei Yu has amazing synergy with her, and great utility as well. He borders on being an auto-include, amd fluff wise fits the theme as well for me.

The Breach is not available any longer for Apple devices though. However the creator is working on aa version 2.0 that will be released (hhopefully) soon. Due to the way Apple's ap store works it will be available for Android sooner than Apple but it is coming. There is a running thread in this forum sub-section dealing with this.

There is a lot of talk about this for iOS, will it be released for Android as well? 

I agree totally. I love almost everything produced by Wyrd sonit is surprising to me, but I HATE those tengu. I'll just go on using my beautiful Bushido proxies myself.

Yes, thank you so much for this, I am a new player and am so jealous of my more experienced friends who have the ap. I can't wait until it is available. As others have said I would fully be willing to pay for the service it is great from what I've seen and I look forward to seeing the new version. 

When I look at your podcasts the oldest available is episode 31. Is there somewhere we can view those older Nico episodes?

I knew Yu had good utility reading his stuff; after fielding him the last couple of games though, he has surpassed anything I thought. That wk7 gives him great mobility, and whether it is pushing your own guys, scheme markers, or disrupting the opponent by pushing his men out of position, Sensei Yu has become pretty much an auto-include for me at this point. If only I could give him fast somehow so that I could walk and double push in a turn. 

... Also, check out the schemes & stones podcast who did a whole hour+ long show on talking about Yan Lo and how to use him. It will help you out. And as many here have said, you will hear the same thing there - you are running too many ancestors. Yan Lo + 1-2 ancestors (generally 2), and then add in what is needed from there. 

All of this, and I can add bring Toshiro and 1-2 punk zombies, take that enemy you need to get rid of, lightning dance him next to the punks, have toshiro (and/or Yu) give out fast to the zombies, and watch them blender whatever it is. 4 attacks each on double positive flips. 

I do have some GW paints, but mostly I only use them for their washes, which are excellent. Otherwise their paints aren't bad, but not my favorite either, and they are definately overpriced. Actual paints Vallejo are wonderful paints, and I also quite like some of the P3 paints. I use the P3 primers, and especially their blues are great to me, but some other hues as well. 

I know it's not too likely, but thought i would take the chance ... anyone have a spare Shenlong box they bought and don't want/need or at the least are willing to part with? 

So, here is what I have now with my recent purchases:

Misaki and crew

10T brothers

Izamu

Yamaziko

Dawn Serpent

Katanaka Snipers

I know that lists need to tailor to the mission and all, but just thinking of an all-arounder kind of list and/or a more killy one, how does this look?

50ss

Misaki (stalking bisento, smoke and mirrors and recalled training)

Izamu 

Dawn Serpent

Yamaziko

Katanaka Sniper

Torakage

Too few bodies? Improvements anyone? Thanks for the continued feedback!

Three Thunders for the Guild members under the sky,
Three for the Ressers in their halls of stone,
Three for Mortal Arcanists doomed to die,
One for the Katanaka Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Malifaux where the Shadows lie.
Ten Thunders will rule them all, Ten Thunders will find them,
Ten Thunders will bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Malifaux where the Shadows lie.

So, I am just starting out in my Malifaux adventure. I played a game with a friend's crew, and I have decided to jump into 10T as my army. Here is what I picked up with my initial purchase(s):

Misaki's crew

10 Thunders brothers

Izamu the Armor

I've heard that the brothers are good for scheme running, and I just love the look of Misaki and her crew. I figure Izamu serves as a pretty good tank. If we rule out other masters boxes for things like Sensei Yu, what would be the best next purchases for me? Thanks for any input!!

When is the webstore going to be back up? I'm a new player, and there are alot of items I need and can't find on ebay or at my FLGS and I have been sitting here for what seems like 2 weeks desperate to give my money away on the things I need but the damn store is still down ... 

So, I have been eyeing stepping into Malifaux for awhile, and really struggling with where to start, Arcanists vs 10 Thunders. Originally I really thought I would start with Rasputina, but ultimately what drew me was the 10T look and fluff. Mei Feng and Misaki both really drew me; ultimately I chose to start by picking up Misaki's box, but I'm not real sure where to go from there. 

What models pair well with her, what boxes/items should I ideally look at to start with adding from there? Thanks for any feedback, it is appreciated!
