What I heard from a german onlinestore (was complaining about delays) is that re-orders are sometimes tied to the newreleases order, so Wyrd does not have to ship multiple packages, which unfortunately induces delays. It has hit me with my initial order and I know have the same problem with acquiring Gracie [currently out of stock or free to re-order], everywhere I look. Though that is the only gripe I have with the system - it's the availability (either restock or still miniatures to come from book two)...

I'll send you a PM with a direct link EDIT: Done... now my temptation is gone

I don't know if it helps, but I see stock in a German onlinestore... but I guess you are stateside, eh?

Don't you worry, still got your ideas from the other thread. It depends how I branch out.

Preferrably the LE Bayou Gremlin comes on sprues and has a card. PM me qith a quote. Shipping would be to Germany. Thank you for any offer.

I wrote you a PM, since I am interested in the LE Bayou Gremlin if not sold already.

Thats' why I go for easy fillings and fluff list and was frustrated (in the other thread), that a lot of players suggested me models from different boxes. It was a bit suffocating, but with me seeing the LaCroix power WITHOUT Lenny I was still taken aback and fun kicked back in (especially with the Henchman taking a seat, after Teddy was removed in one activation, though I lost the game, this moment alone made the evening for me and I went home satisfied) (it also helped that we toned down the game to 35 SS, but I still try to get 50 SS to challenge me :D). Also currently (to take the thread a little bit more off-topic), when you browse through Wyrd's catalogue (read Big Rule Book, Crossraods & Shifting Loyalities) there will be at least one new Shiny you become interested. When I think about one thing they did well is to somehow a] make each faction specific about a theme b] give that to some extent to another faction as well but c] keep things fresh enough that it seems to be new and exciting ... so everytime I turned a page and read onto a new master [the henchman was so nice to always give me ample time to look and drool on it, while meeting] I was "MUST HAVE", though I really like my Gremlins; and 10T and Arcanists are somewhat tied. After that Neverborn with Ressers and Guild sharing last place... But back to Mei Fang... as you see, I favor right now Arcanist route... guess it's my [current] excitement for Kaeris... but I'm not against playing her with Foundry stuff (read Rail Golem) and coellect the Mech. Rider later on with Kaeris... (and some Gunsmith), after all I just gain more in the end. So I really value those other Input, as it just Show how versatile this game actually is. There is not just one solution, but many

Love the game, hate that I can't spend more time and money [and sometimes I hate that the Cards have a lot of text and things to consider remember, especially for a new Player facing something different everytime [currently I faced Nicodem, Viktorias, Seamus and Pandora] - it#s so much to soak in, especially if you are just concentrating on learning your Crews... but practice makes perfect and the game is fun enough for me to endure it...

I learned that lesson when I last time fielded the LaCroix family (read: the family, the Ortegas cosplays as). I did struggle still (forgetting some Actions I could have taken - but this was mostly due to overall inexperience). With Francois being able to kill a Teddy in one go (with Soulstones and his Loose Trigger), I was taken aback, what potential still lies unlocked... [the henchman was taken aback, too, since he never faced Gremlins and this infinite (but SS heavy trigger) surprised him and he was sure to take my backline... I guess next time around he will be a bit more careful]. There is much for me to learn, though, but Ophelias Box is helping in that regard. Also once I painted them (and the Whisky Golem), I'm gonna order Wong. ^^; So I will have lots to choose from and once I get more comfortable in the game I can go Brewmaster, since I guess a lot comes down to asses your plan with Brewie.

Now you are spoiling me... since I looked that the Mechanical Rider yesterday evening and thought about a Robot Unicorn painting scheme for it... darn you! Just for me planning my purchases, the Gunsmith would still be cool for both Kaeris and / or Mei, adding a bit of ranged theme to it. Right? You omitted the Rail Golem completely, was it just to bring down the money investement, or is it just sub-par im comparision to the Robot uni... err mechanical rider? Sorry for asking that much, I'm still in the honeymoon love-hate phase of Malifaux and there are much wonders to behold!

Oh I have misread that, than... maybe it was me looking at Jack Daw first and than at Collette that tricked me into this... gonna reread that :).

Thanks, I was just confused, since I read a thread about Colette and the Oiran came up and somebody said, that Colette would pay the Merc tax for the Oiran, which confused me heavily. That elevates my fear. Thank you

Since I am not sure on this one; some masters can hire outside of faction; i.e. Colette can hire any showgirl; Jack Daw any tormented; Von Schill [probably] anything Freikorps, Brew-Master (with upgrade) Tri-Chi models. If I do hire out of faction, do I pay one additional soulstones, like hiring mercs; or do those abilities override the +1 SS, even if it is a merc?

Yeah, heard about that, but since I'm a new player I'm far from optimizing my list. Currently I enjoy doing thematic Crews and than slowly pepper something in. When I have a full stock (or big stock) and a better grasp on the game [i.e. I'm still getting behind how much Impact on a game certain abilities have; last game I ate half through my soulstones, with Francois purchasing a for his loose trigger and killing a Teddy in turn one, that really threatened my backline and was about to wreak havoc), I can think about going out of theme and more in the performing area once I am better at that. In the meantime I have fun, so Metal Gamin being cuddled does not hurt me :D. As 10T there are, but they compete with Kaeris and since I can really go Gunsmith and Kaeris and already bolster the Mei box with that and still later get Temple of Dawn with Katakan Snipers, I'm more down for the Arcanist route. Just grinding my gears that I can't afford it all. Though any Input on each side is welcome, since they can influence my future purchases. I.e. get Koimanus with Yan-lo and Toshiro, though with Ressers and Guild being on the last list, they not as much wanted for me (though Toshiro is a great looking model). Currently I rerange some purchase order for me :). I might even throw in a Mechanical Rider with Kaeris... but that is planning WAY into the future

You heard here first guys. Wishing Ball Tokens for Shadow Emmissary in Book 4. If your crew collects them all, you win the game.

You really want to go me Arcanists... eh... >.> I fear there will be a heavy shift in two places, my wallet and Wyrd's bank account (or likely the reseller, but in the end, it Comes to them) D:

Very much obliged, now I feel more comfortable putting him in the "Not Now" list, since I calculated the costs Thank you for you voicing in on the TT side. Currently I am leaning towards Metal Gamin, since I like Kaeris, too and I can get Gunsmith with her box and have for both crews options in my hand. Well that is the current plan. Unfortunately with learning the game there is always something I see and find exciting, once I warm up to it...

Hey, nothin' wrong with leaving out the Katakana Snipers. My list was merely a starting point. I like your list a lot for the following reasons: As said above, Kaeris box is sth. I consider, too [everythin' is shiny] and with gettin' the Gamin and the Golem I can go Kaeris + Gunsmith for my next buy, which would probably mesh well. That would put a small stop to Ten Thunders [Temple of Dawn], but nothing that would be too detrimental (since I figure both of these boxes meshes well together, maybe some extra stuff here and there along the way, but more of a time will tell). So your intel and variation is welcome

I just dread the kit for it. If I go by Malifaux kit Assembling Standards, we gonna probably have to glue on every scale seperately ;___;!

Thanks on the Upgrade side.. For the Rail Golem; I also fancy Kaeris, so the long time investment on my side (when I go Arcanist). No biggie here Thanks also for suggesting the Koimanu. In Addition I Keep the Metal Gamin in my mind, when I go Kaeris / Arcanist route (Seems a natural growing into things) No Problem; I just put the Railworkers in, because I start with the Crew Box and the snipers I'm feeling :). Also I wanted to give a thing to start about. How would you rearange them, when I want Koimanus. I have the Dawn Serpent myself (one of the first things I bought to just get to 50 SS quickly with Brewie and it is waiting when Temple of Dawn comes to me). Thanks for pointing out Burts mercenary status, a thing I sometimes forget. This might me save the trooble to squeeze in Lazarus (moneywise, but I might end up getting him anyway). Yin is not a model I'm feeling design wise. As you pointed out, some of the eual Factions would lead to another crew. So I'd rather shy away. Currently, if I wan to persue the 10 Thunder road more, the top picks would be Shen Long and Misaki für me. However, I Keep them in mind and thus thanks Tengus look nice and I like the Oni aspect of the Ten Thunders. Also Shadow Effigy is something that might just be in the pile of minis to be ordered - so thanks for that, too! - - - If it would not be too troublesome, how would you rewrite the list above, with your suggestions in mind. If you have some more experience, what would be the game Mei would than excel and when it would be better to not take her. In Addition, someone mentioned Yamaziko (who might work well later with Misaki), would Mei benefit from her, too? I figure the recntly released Lone Swordsman is just good for assasination runs, eh?

Hey there, as the title suggests I am looking for a 10 Thunders Mei Fang list. Here are the rules, so you know where I'm coming from. After seeing yesterday Sparks and is Mechanical Porkchops I fell in love with him. Currently I am looking for one [1] Crewbox to get a littel break out from Gremlins. Mei seems fitting, since she brings a playstyle I currenlty don't have and when Sparks lands, it's a meeting of 10 Thunders and Gremlins all over again since I started Malifaux with the Brewmaster. Currenlty I'm thinking of this list: Okay this is what I have so far [43 Soulstones without any upgrades]. Help me make this Mei Fang Crew better [obv. 10 Thunders]. I would very much welcome the Rail Golem to stay. And yes I am a beginning player. Please keep in mind, I don't want another Crew Box since mei Fang will be my small "Vacation from Gremlins". I also like Mei Fang since I can later add Sparks and the Mechanical Porkchops and reunite again 10 Thunders with Gremlins [and have a touching moment, since I started Malifaux with the Brewmaster], which is 43 Soulstones already without any upgrades. I put in Katakanas since they might help me, if I want to flesh out more of the Ten Thunders side [Shenlong; Misaki] Mei Fang Emberling Rail Golem Rail Worker Rail Worker Rail Worker Katakana Sniper Katakana Sniper Though currently I think hat maybe one Sniper is enough and there would be 36 points to play around [without considering upgrades]. One thing I also thought off, would to put in Lazarus to work with the Rail Golem, but I want more experienced players think if this would be a valid thing to do. Could you pretty please help me getting Mei Fang on track - sure it WON'T BE a super competitve list, if I don't want other Crew boxes [for now] and I am okay with that. A little request on my side. It would be nice if you - for the time being, don't recommend me dual factions models [i.e. Mr. Graves] since I want not to be tempted in dipping in other factions [again]. Just gimme your best shot and much obliged for your help [esp. on the upgrade side]

Well I guess Sparks won't hit for months to come. Until than I might have many more boxes, so I consider it a non-issue and I see sparks as adding even a different aspect to the Gremlin side, so that is a big PLUS in my book [also Henchman Hardcore with it's own theme... basically like a crewbox :D]. I would advise myself against going with more dual factions models [going against Tannen, Graves and Pathfinder], since it would just ease me to the lure of opening yet another faction and I'd rather not do that - my mind is weak. Though not foundry I heard Katakana Snipers are good all around - would they fit with Mei Fang (if not thematically, maybe as supporting her)? Also I like the Samurai models, but I'm not sold 100%, might you have more on them. Ther eis always the Lone Swordsman. Yamaziko sounds interesting.... Sue also sounds nice, though I consider him a later on upgrade I can add to the collection (but I'm seeing where you are going :)) So thanks for the first inout. Yeah! As for Outcasts. Would Lazarus work well with the Rail Golem :D?

I don't want to create a new thread; so I hope some of you ate still reading this. I found my Crew -- but I want to tell you about tonight. I agreed with my local Henchman to play the Carver scenario (I provided the painted model) as 35 SS with NO added Schemes & Strategies. Just the Carver as Story Encounter. I wanted just to get more into the game and not worry about a lot of stuff (more things to come, though). Though I lost (2 - 0, since the Carver went to the other side, right before I could give the kill) I had TONS of fun; why? I took an Ophelia Crew with an Slop Hauler (proxied by Wesley, though they are preordered, don't you worry about that :D)) and Francois was KILLING it! Since the Carver was with my opponent and Teddy was too close to my stuff I took Soulstones after Soulstones with Francois to generate is repeated shooting and took out a Teddy in Turn 1 (which made his Baby Kade very sad...). Also Ophelia (with 1 Wound remaining) managed to pass three WP duels against Pandora and din't meet her fate through Misery (though time was not on Ophelia's side). This reignited my love for maaaa Gremlins... (though I sadly had NOT declare Dumb Luck or kill my Gremlins, which was just sad ;__;)... I guess on hindsight I should have since I could have denied a VP to my enemy... oh well... So why Mei Fang. Because I could take a short glimpse in Shifting Loyalites the Henchman brought along and there he was... SPARKS ... and Gremlin Survivosr ... and Mechanized Porkchops and with Sparks alone I envisioned a Henchman hardcore list and ... Since Brewmaster is 10 Thunders, ...since I might go 10 Thunders, ... since I already have a Dawn Serpent; I easily could go Mei Fang and when time passes I can add sparks uniting 10 Thunders and Gremlins again, like my first love, the Brewmaster. And even has now an out for Arcanists (eyeing Ironsides... but it's more a distant love) Also I like Mei Fang, because she seems pretty mobile, and since I lack a IN YOUR FACE master (sure I could go Mah, but I really don't feel that box). So here is the new and FINAL task next month I want to order Wong's box (and Gracie if I can fit her in), though I want to get Mei Feng, too. I want to play her as 10 Thunders (so I can get the Wave 1 + 2 upgrades and can play with the brewmaster). I also want to have a Rail Golem (Yeah! Rail Golem!) - I really do. So what to fill the remaining SS points with (up to 50); in a thematic [if possible] way. And yes; Mei Feng is final... because SPARKS!!! (Sorry I am excited - again) Yes Outcasts are welcome! [P.S.: This is me excited without testing Burt, Sammy, Merris! So I think I'm gonna have a LOT of fun in the coming time :D]

As I said, I will try him, eventaully also with Sammy in it, and I will give her the "Hold their hair back" upgrade... might be nice for the Whiskey Golem to engange sth. and Sammy stun it. At least it will force the enemy to think over his activiations.

The only thing I worry about also is how much is the german Errata updated if at all ;). Something to consider.
