Try a Guardian with her vs the Pale Rider. You will not be disappointed. Also remember particularly early game she is as much a control master now. Stack that burning on models and watch internal synergies drop hard.

Its a lot more than a bit. Your basically giving up 2-3 attacks most turns. Thats a lot of damage.

Yea its a long shot but its still gimping Lady J's strength for a one trick.

If it could bury leaders I would agree. Problem is its still trading damage every turn to remove one model. Which can still get back out if they have the right cards and you don't.

Why why why do people think the Pinebox is so good? Swordfigher Vendetta is much better. Coffin effectively lets you remove 1 model that game. Swordfighter + Vendetta does that basically every turn. Its such a damage Cuddle on her.

And you have maybe 5 models in your army? That list would get out activated and destroyed hard. I believe the term for that is cute. It will work once and then never again.

@rancor709 Thanks, I've already registered for the Friday events. Thats the info I was looking for thanks. at 3 rounds but I'm sure timing is so tight there. It is the top 3 of both 50ss events? The Wyrd site said something different but I'm cool with top 3

Hey all, Never been to the GenCon Malifaux events, is there a tournament packet or such out for the tournaments yet? Trying to find details on number of rounds strats schemes etc. Thanks

So Princess is the rat king variant I assume?

If my opponent is going to sit back and use all his resources turn one and two to summon and not advance up in 99% of scheme pools I have the ability to set my crew up and take initative on schemes and strats as well as positioning my crew in an excellent manner to take out what ever summoning engine he has set up. And my meta and local store has one of the best if not best ranked resser player in the USA in it. I take his word for it.

Honestly with any of the ressers summon masters if they summon three times turn 1 and 2 I consider myself having the upper hand that game anyway

Yea I was just confused because there is nothing stopped by this. I didn't know if there was some combo I was missing

Curious why is there the reactivate exculusion on J's conflux? The only reactivate in guild I can think of is Daschel and that's minion only I believe. Was this just future proofing?

Hey all while I know PAX is video game conference but they have a table-top game section particularly with RPGs (for example there is some Infinity presence). Is there any Wyrd presence does anyone know Malifaux or TTB?

Oh Dita is Oh no man, I would say Dita is in no way a generic gunline. (I might be biased here ) Once you learn her she is incredibly mobile and often times likes to be right in the middle of ML. I honestly find Sonnia to be more of a static gunline (well fireball line) than Dita is. She often for me acts as a slow-moving turret in the center of the field while Dita is zooming all around shooting stuff in the face. @Ozymandias79 I agree Hoffman can run very well with pure guild. Its just the versatility of some of the Arcanist models. They are just extra tools in the Hoff's toolbox.

This looks so exciting. I mean there basically is a Wakandan / Black Panter faction. Uh yes please. My only concern is the timing, mid December right after Black Friday in the middle of Christmas shopping is literally the worst time ever for a KS. I'm hoping its not gonna impact the funding too much for Wyrd. I want this to do well.

Since your getting Dita, I would really recommend starting out with her for several games. Besides being fairly forgiving of mistakes (god bless 9-9 stats) she is very good at teaching several key Malifaux concepts. She teaches a little bit of hand management with the prevalence of discard mechanics and her Hero's Gamble and learning when to do them all and allocating cards to them. She teaches positioning and order of activation with all the pushes in her crew and trying to keep El Mayor up and when to let it drop. Also she does have an Obey so you can start to learn a little of how control masters can work. Both offensively and defensively. If you do go this route BUY PISTOLEROS. They are sooooo god with Dita.

I want to second the Rail Golem and Steam Arachnid Swarms with Hoffman. The swarms are disgustingly good at ML7, hit hard and with the ability to eat scrap markers (which Hoffman can make plenty of) they can easily stay above the limit for strength in numbers getting that plus to damage. Plus the pulse to remove scheme markers can be just filthy.

Its really good against some crews okay against others. The targeting system isn't worth it as said machine puppet can't declare triggers. Aionus counters it sure but Aiounus is way to expensive so unless they know what your taking I highly highly doubt they will have him in a list.

So with the Scion and other models begining to come out what is everyones thoughts on Tara as an outcast currently? Are you using the Scion with her. I'm working on finishing painting her crew box tonight so I'm curious how people are running her.

C'mon guys outcasts need to go for the chick. She ends with a gun and a sword. Shes gonna be a sister. And we need that.

Didn't make top unfortunately. But a bunch of us play in Greensboro and the Raleigh Durham area. Find Southeastern Malifaux Players group on FB and post there. We have a tournament Saturday the 10th if your around.

I was on the table next to him last round. He ran papa in the box.

Another reason he's great with Parker is that he is immune to friendly fire from crate of dynamiting scheme markers

Strongarm and specialist are great with Parker since Parker has a push for him. Plus I've found you can use his charging while engaged as a bit of mobility. Charge something insignificant up near the front then leapfrog turn by turn to the support squishy models in the back.
