  1. @Rathnard Awesome thread! I've only skimmed it, but I haven't seen anyone refer to the Crossroads Seven story that I'm currently listening to on Breachside Broadcasts, "The Bold & The Desperate" (Episodes 143 & 144). In there, it's stated that: SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!! the tyrant Fortune is represented by a man in black and a woman in red. They tried to select Lynch as their plaything, but someone else got there first (Hungering Darkness, or whatever guides it), and they lament the loss, but settle on making do by creating the Crossroads Seven band (Episode 144, ~6m35s); Pandora bursts in on the Crossroads' performance, holding her box open, and recognises the man and woman as Fortune, who in turn recognise that controlling Pandora is the tyrant Despair (Ep 144, 8m20s); Despair tells Fortune that occupying two bodies is a neat trick, just like Dragon has done, confirming that Dragon is one Tyrant in two bodies (Shenlong and ???), (Ep144, 9m12s). That's all! Bazlord P.S. Just finished the episode, and it seems that this story might be from the "Malifaux Burns" book? Sorry - I have no idea. Anyway, it certainly seems to be explaining the new Pandora Title, "Tyrant Torn", and that lovely new dress of hers... 😉
  2. Yeah, the lake is amazing! Taupo is a very desirable area, for both tourists and people who live there. Lots to do, and in winter it gets quite cold and you've got mountains nearby with snow, etc. The lake has areas that are geothermally heated, and there are other geothermal features about the place in which you can bathe, or just check out, but as far as anything else specifically referencing Horomatangi, I don't know of anything. This humble street sign might be about it!
  3. Was on holiday in Taupo (New Zealand) recently, and saw this! Had to share. Shame there wasn't a better view of the lake from the sign, though! 🙂
  4. So I figure that necro-ing my own thread is okay... What do you all think might be the least mentally-taxing Masters in the ENTIRE game? (Good info for me to consider future purchases, as well as for any newer players or players with energy/focus issues like me 😉) Especially since we now have the alternative Master Titles... Thanks in advance! P.S. Still loving the Freikorps, have had an okay experience with Hamelin (not focussing on Rat summoning tho), and loving Zoraida obeying the Whiskey Golem
  5. Brilliant! Appreciate that there's an up-to-date resource!
  6. Just saw THESE!: https://www.gadzooksgaming.com/products/toil-and-trouble-rotten-harvest-zoraida-limited-edition-alternate-nightmare-editino?_pos=4&_sid=981bdecb0&_ss=r https://www.gadzooksgaming.com/products/beware-the-lights-rotten-harvest-limited-edition-nightmare-alternate?_pos=2&_sid=981bdecb0&_ss=r But - what's the deal? Last year it was Pandora as a ... WITCH! And this year, it's her best-in-faction-buddy Zoraida, as a ... WITCH! Okay, I'm pegging Rotten Harvest 2022 is going to be Lilith, as a ... WITCH!!! Brilliant! Or Som'er Teeth as the Witchsmeller Pursuivant. Brilliant!
  7. So I've had 1 game with Ulix since posting all the above, and 1 game with the Freikorps. With Ulix, I went up against Marcus, and we were both highly inexperienced with our Masters (my local group is 4 players who own far too many Masters and switch between them after just a game or two, and 1 player who is sensible and tries to get 10-20 games in with a single Master to actually unlock it before trying another). Anyway, found Ulix to be kinda "Meh" fun-wise, and I just kept tripping up over all the 50mm bases. Not really into pigs as a theme either, but I'll keep an eye on the War Pig for my Zoraida crew... 😉 The Freikorps, on the other hand, were great! Really enjoyed them, didn't find them nearly as taxing as most of the other crews I've tried, and I even felt like I was using some of the proper interactions and Abilities on them. Score!
  8. Sweet! Moving into Outcasts, that sounds like the deal!
  9. I agree completely. Definitely finding M3e Wong lacklustre in comparison, and too mentally taxing for me. Som'er was hilarious in M2e, but with the removal of the heavy self-flagellation theme in Gremlins ("Dumb Luck" triggers specifically, but also being able to hit your own guys for squeals, etc), I've really lost a lot of my love for Bayou. Have also sold some off - Mah and Ophelia - and thinking of chucking Ulix, Wong and Som'er. Would be fine with keeping Brewmaster and Z, and yet to try Zipp (I think I'll be moving to Outcasts with Freikorps to begin with, as they're quite fun). RIP M2e Gremlins! 😉 (just my own opinion, of course)
  10. Wow. Bayou - and especially Zipp - really are privileged in this regard. Enough to make me think twice about coming to Outcasts, given In going to be facing Titania quite regularly 😉
  11. Or Zipp. Smugglers are both Bandit & Infamous.
  12. Boo. Well, if it's a fairly rare capability, I can't be too bummed out that we don't have any. I'm just switching over from Bayou where we have Gluttony and the Lucky Emissary that can both do it, so I thought it was a bit more common across the board.
  13. Hey! New to Outcasts, and I'm just wondering how Outcasts go about getting rid of non-Destructible markers, such as Titania's "Underbrush", Mysterious Emissary's "Hungry Land", etc? Thanks!
  14. Cheers for that. I've had a look at all those cards now, and yeah - the Umbra stuff appeals. The Spelleater looks like a PITA for an opponent (stealing suits during opposed duels? Urgh!), and it's a Witch Hunter - at least - so that'll go with the Sonnia crew I've never actually used, but keep meaning to 😉 Looks like the Explorer's Society might be the shiny
  15. Do you mean the Explorers Starter Box? I'm starting to develop a looking for what's been shown of the Umbra keyword models, but I imagine their Crew Box is some ways away yet?
  16. Hey y'all, Just checking - have I missed this? I haven't been paying attention since Beta, and since the Wong box is out, In guessing that the facility to special order just the Alphonse model has come and gone, right? Thanks
  17. Good point, thanks. Reminded me to check out "Dmg Prevention" vs "Dmg Reduction" in this new edition, but it seems that there *is* no more Dmg Prevention? Soulstones can be used to Reduce Dmg in M3e, rather than Prevent.
  18. Got it. That makes the most sense, of course. Just feel for those who still want to use the Ramones as Mounted Guard, but feel they can't (in a Tournament setting, or whatever. I'm sure it's not a problem in casual games).
  19. Ahhh, I see. Wasn't aware that the re-release is going to invalidate the original purpose of the box. Okay, well let's see what shakes out when it re-issues. I just love those (formerly?) Mounted Guard alts tho. Thanks!
  20. So, is The Wild Ones box sold at all anymore? Or have I missed it? 😉 I know it's been out a while, but I've never really had the cash to get it, and now I do. Plus it's the only Nightmare crew that lands in that happy intersection of "I wants it", & "I plays that Faction/Master".
  21. So, how much unreleased Explorer's Society stuff has been teased now? I saw that other guy with the Syndicate keyword. Seems to reference TOS? But I'm liking the look of this guy (Gibson), and interested in the potential of the Umbra keyword. What else is out there?
  22. For anyone as ignorant as me, what's the reference here with this crew? *Is* there a pop-culture reference? Thanks!
  23. Oh no! Yikes - no, that's a few too many moving parts / self-playey for me! I think I'd prefer to go 2-3 big beaters, and just let Z obey them once each. Provide some redundancy that way, but have fewer models I'm sure. Anyway, Freikorps is one crew I've always liked the look of, so it might be time to dip the toes in and see whether I like them. @Jesy Blue any wisdom on OOK models for them? I was looking around for any sneaky Constructs for Lazarus to assimilate, but there doesn't seem to be anything sneaky enough to make it worthwhile. Oh - except for Rusty Alyce, of course...
