Although that could be said about most models that cost 5 or 6. There are a few outliers (necropunks have always been mobile and hard to get rid of),  but most factions "scheme runners" are about as fragile.

 

I don't use social media so the discussion might have happened without me noticing, but I thought that a lot of the UK crowd were vocally against 2nd masters during Beta which suggests it wasn't any 1 combination that was broken, but rather the idea that they didn't like.  (If the UK dropped it because there is 1 broken combo they knew about, then they probably should have shown that during beta, and I don't' think the rest of the world, that allows multiple masters, have found  this combo).

I am sure you are right, it was a combination of a few duos that did it, I think the Rezxer one was just an example.

If you play to win, prepare to spend topdollar to follow the meta, it’s what sports enthusiasts do - heck, quite a few do just to collect the newest gear (not unlike miniature hoarders). 

Another thing is, that Malifaux meta changes once a year - at least. Via GGXX, if you want to be competitive, you’ll have to ho with that flow. But nothing is dropping you from playing older editions privately - or even have tournaments.

 

 

I have saved up my nerd allowance, please please tell me what filth I can buy to make NVB faction meta?!!

However, I am lucky as I almost exclusively play Dreamer, and certainly won't consider any other NVB master with this errata.

But everything crossed NVB gets a cracking Versatile at Gen-Con!

I think regardless of faction or crew, you have to treat every (significant) model as a potential scheme runner when needed.

I couldn't count how many times Molly's last turn has been move, move, interact. Or how many times I've used a Dead Rider to scheme on turn 5.

Also worth noting the key question is: do Neverborn win a lot? And I think they're a dominant force in Russia (with dual masters being allowed), so clearly they're able to score points somehow.

Dreamer n Mama Z are not the best dual Master in M3e.

I recall that the reason dual masters are not used in the UK is because of a Rezzer dual master combo that is broke and led the top players of the meta to engineer the UK scene would not play dual masters (competitively).

So that being said I dont see NVB winning 'more's often.

I think the glass cannon moniker has been changed to glass handgun, like someone mentioned above.

I would like to know where Wyrd see NVB now.

Certainly not the killiest anymore, mobility; no getting outrun by zombies.

I think NVB are now the box of chocolates faction, it's just we have too many soft centres and not enough dark choccy Nutz choices.

Wrath in any NVB crew for public enemies.

Massive defensive tech:

Terrifying 11

Sin tokens

Every ability on back of card hurts/protects.

Heal on main attack.

Lure defender or on offence with a trigger heal.

D performance-'offensive'

Zero action triggers Feed on fears (heal)

Yup

Oh, and in the interest of falsifiability.. If anyone can find a non-master that can bypass as much defensive tech as Stitched, I'd at least reconsider my position. Especially if it was a low cost minion.

IMHO you can't look at Stitched in a vacuum like that.

Is Stitched there to cover weaknesses in the Nightmare crew or any other 'tax' crew (7SS)? Again IMHO-Yes.

I've just read above the damage flip 'can' be cheated on GYL?

Is that right?

I was told by a couple of very senior players it was not cheatable as it has no accuracy modifier.

"Leave me alone"!

Are you able to say why the Bandersnatch is no longer on sale?

@Ceodoc did you see?!????!?!!!!! I’m even super politely waiting until you order first since this will be my second set since I sold my first set since I wasn’t getting to work on them but I missed them ever since also I realized I don’t have necropunks either and what’s cooler than tiny teddies is actually it’s kind of hard to think of a word which means jumping that starts with T, teleporting tiny teddies maybe, anyway that’s a little more within my skill set than exploding the teddyswarm into a Storm of Stuffing...

I'm all done, fill your boots!

Yesssssss!

I know it is a big ask, but please put the Alt Stitched Together (Bearly-Together) models in the black Friday.

Have been waiting since missed release for their comeback, not seeing them in the sale was a huge blow.

Need is obviously too strong a word for toy soldiers-normally, but this is an exception.

THANKYOUPLEASETAKEMYMONEY!

Ps

Please

Upon review I realise I did not underscore the brevity of the situation.

PUT THEM IN THE SALE!

She is awesome. I still find her to lose out against Teddy / Rider / Carver. As she has little to no direct synergy with my Nightmares and Woes. 

In Dreamer crews, she has a 12” WP attack (Lure) and a 3”  tactical WP attack.

1. 20” threat range.

2. 17” threat range.

That is a very serious set of synergy for Dreamer......in the hands of a good player.*

Hi Wyrdos,

As we are all dealing with the shortage of plastic crack I wonder if anyone knows of a hobby store I can drive to (West Midlands, UK) or make a online order that will deliver the below models in time for me to get some paint on for the UK Nationals next week?

I have tried a few of the big companies but none can promise delivery in time for event even with no paint time.

And of course I would happily buy from another player if they want to sell.

Thank you in advance

Doc

ps Happy to drive quite far, within reason

Neverborn-Grootslang

Neverborn-Bandersnatch

Neverborn-Carver

Cheers Tap

Why are all the major UK suppliers out of stock of so much M3e?

It's the UK Nationals in 2 weeks and I can't find anywhere with some key models in stock.

Really sad about this release schedule.

Ok ty PJ, sad to read.

I could post in the Telford gamers that I am happy to pick up a few peeps on way?

Is the event still open to join please?

Would need to plan today and be able to book by tonight/early morning.

Cheers

I think the basic ability of Hooded's Revel is bat bonkers brilliant, I am thinking of taking him just for that.

Just dont build up focus. I can understand the hate against stitched but not insidious madness as they dont do a huge amount for their cost.

Also why is it the best summon in the game? Everything you summon will be engaged so wont be off doing schemes and strats. I think asami has the best summon in the game.

Add the summoned but buried aspect and a clever player can thwart you trying to get the model actually onto the table, our master has used AP and it sits there. And it is an expensive summons to start with, that IM cost a 11 of masks. A single summon per turn.

Although I don't agree they don't do a lot for their cost, the melee WP duel, incorp and 6 move is very nice. Tanky mobile model.
