  1. Okay peeps, creeps and creatures from the breach. Down the line I want to begin a new faction and I settled for either a] Jakob Lynch + b] Jack Daw Jakob Lynch, because of the Vegas Vibe I'm getting (and the bluffing through cheating sounds like really good fun). Jack Daw, because I like his attitude.He screams "This table is mine and you do as I please and if not, well I have some punishment for you. We good?" I want to settle it you for me. How? Make a 50SS Crew that is NOT reliant on getting an additional crew box. Why? I want a little distraction from Gremlins (in the upcoming time) and it should just be that, a distraction and not a "full" buy into another faction. Oh... and one tiny bit, I like fluff lists, so it doesn't have to be a full maxed out list (though it should still be able to pick it's punches). Yeah I'm wyrd in that regard. So thanks for everyone giving me your list. (Bonus Interwebz if you list the productcode of each, for easy order). Besides, you not make Wyrd rich (and thus get new toys); you make my local henchman more happy
  2. I for one welcome our blasty overlord... next box I'm gonna get, too >:D
  3. Hello from South Germany (Tuebingen), if you are missing out on The Carver scenario, it's in Wyrd Chronicles No. 8, which can be downloaded for free, just follow this link. You will be forwarded to DriveThroughRPG, so don't worry! Have looked him up myself, you will also need 5 30 mm tokens, which will serve as pumpkin tokens, though one should be able to be marked at random (so I suggest, just take 5 identical bases, with one premarked, which you can distribute at random)! Have a great start in 2016! P.S.: I'm a starting Player myself :3
  4. Though I must admit I feel guilty, because you ALL are really helping me out... but Gremlin Wizzzzzzards and a Luchador just screams over the top and it is the same feeling I had when ordering the Brewmaster... You are all too friendly and patient with me ... but I can use the suggestions to my hearts content after I painted up Wong and currently I'm on a roll, already started painting on the Ophelia Crew, which I probably finish before Haulers, Sammy, Merris and Burt come in and I gues I will be fast, with them, too. So thank you to all - you truly help me out and I REALLY value the input, just me being wyrd... >.>
  5. Okay, after a good night's sleep I came up with the following possible buy ins A] Wong Crew + Gracie (it seems that people say I've got good stuff for Wong) B] Som'er with 2 packs of Bayou Gremlins (*shudders at the minicount*) C] Mah Tucket + Rooster Riders (IF they get released) D] Zoraida ---- ++ ---- Here I would need your help what I need for her box to work, too... and would it be better to play her as Neverborn (for generic Upgrades), or do you think she'll play fine with master / henchmen specific upgrades? Currently I am Feeling Wong and Zoraida the most, but I can see why Som'er and Mah would be the better choice...
  6. Sorry, with the Brewmaster being my first Malifaux box, I had to choose it! Thanks for the Intel on Zoraida... I must admit I eye her, because I already pre-ordered Sammy, but I guess Zaroida herself brings nothing to my orders... Okay, for an organzied answer I lump you together. No disrispect on my side, just it's easier to reply. So, if I get Som'er for Lenny, it would be best to buy 1-2 additional Bayou Gremlins to boot with it. That leaves me with a junk of models to paint, which I honestly dread. Mah is nice for Trixie Belle and yes I can't wait to come around and scream DRINKING CONTEST at the top of my lungs, while securing me initative for (almost) every round, just to see my opponent moan.. but than there is me drawing blanks on what to do, besides getting the currently unreleased Rooster Riders[*] down the line... - - With Zoraida being more of a new page to open I also have now read further into Wongs box and especally turned my eye on luchador supreme Macha Roja. Here is my thought on the box. 1) Someone already said I have good models for Wong (or will soon have) 2) I consider Macha Roja for the Brewmaster. Here is my *dream* Scenario Brewie says it's time for a drinkin' contest and Maja is forcing the enemy to target him instead -- something like Sammies Horror Duel with Jynx. Just grinding out the enemy hand cards...... ... ... Also thereis the fear, that I get much the same. Zaroida sounds a bit like Brewmaster (but hey, that is my inexperience); Mah sounds like the Melee Version of Ophelia that would leave only Som'er summoning, where I dread the lot of models. Which leaves me still undecided and somewhat unhappy with my decisions. I'm sorry for being a bit of picky here. I wish I was more excited about the prospect that more stuff is just opening up for me. [*] and don't get me starting on the stuffed piglets for Sammy q_q
  7. Follow up... So Som'er Teeth... if I go that route, would I Need more Bayou Gremlins than coming with the Box... I read I can summon more... also do the Skeeter suffice, they can also summon more... one thing, that is hard for me is effectively judge how much an impact an ability has... so that is why it's hard for me gathering data from PullMyFinger (sometimes the articles are written, like all is gonna happen and are a massive sales pitch (a la this model wins you singlehandedly the game)) As for Mah, she can sacrifice her minions, would that not lead her to have None on the board pretty quick. Again, this is me struggling making good judgement calls. That is why I'm asking to go a lot deeper... so my understanding of the game grows (naturally I Need to play some games, too ;))
  8. Hey thanks so far for the intel, it really helps a great deal! A little question, if it is not too asking, since I'm realtively new to Malifaux, can you further elaborate (if not already done). Also one discussion I'm having with my current henchman (I like to get intel from different sources :)) is how to break out from the Gremlins -- if I'm feeling it, without a new total buy-in. One thing he reminded me wuold be Zoraida... which Sammy could help out with and who would open the door to Neverborn (which I would go). If only there would be a Ressurectionist // Gremlin Crew out there...
  9. Hello there, through your gentle advice my Gremlins are (soon to be) bolstered. Currently Brewmaster (with the Dawn Serpent (don't mind it)) is fully painted and Ophelia and her family are currently getting assembled AND painted. In addition I have some Slop Haulers, Merris & Sammy LaCroix (the family has to be united) and Burt [ACTION!] Jebsen incoming (all tied to Sammy so Iget them later that month) . SURE I Need to assemble and paint them first, but my local Henchman is providing me with enough games, so I am all eager to show off my latest achievements. I also ordered the two Arsenal Boxes and the schemes and strategies deck, so I am covered in that front (even debating for some tokens with the additional poison counter). Since I'm not only having fun playing Malifaux and the Gremlins, but also paiting them I want to plan ahead and look forward. So what box should be my next target. I might add, that I bid farewell to the idea to focus on one master... but I also want all my models to count (so there is not a LOT of investing and the miniatures pile don't add up to much). Let me voice that I have been eying some lovely miniatures, for example those (currently unreleased, but spoilered) lovely looking rooster riders. Come on... they look fantastic, but I am open to new discussions. Though I have heard that the Lucky Effigy and Wong (with the Lightning Bugs) might be a good Investment, but I guess so would be Som'er or Mah.... since I am at a point where I really don't know what to get next, I would love some little help from you... TL;DR What crew box and miniatures would be good in augmenting and benefitig the pool of Closing Time Crew Box, The Kin Crew Box, Slop Haulers, Merris LaCroix, Sammy LaCroix, Burt Jebsen Bonus Points: In which (probably 10T) Crew Box would make the Dawn Serpent most sense (I know this is Off Topic, so it's just Bonus Points)
  10. Thanks for the warm welcome. As for for the username... it's a pretty common japanese family name, in fact, I chose this Forum handle to honor my two friends (not related) with the same name XD
  11. Kobayashi enters the Forum, strolling carelessly into this thread. Kobayashi: Hello, my forum handle is Kobyashi and you might already know me from postings like How I lost all my money to Wyrd! and It's not poison as long as you're still alive! I already encountered Malifaux while it was done in white metal and only gazed upon it from afar, but since I preferred other kinds of metal, I stayed clear of it. Enter a Young LaCroix, despite underaged, drinking booze... Young LaCroix: But Mr Kobayashi, I see you are posting in the Wyrd Forums, it seems that you already started playing! Kobayashi is now leaning against the wall. Kobayashi: That is right. Let's face it, who can withstand a drinking gremlin, who can make the other crew incapable of everything! And when everything is plastic to boot, you can't go wrong! I always had a soft spot for Gremlins and a skirmisher, with those crazy critters, which you don't have to paint by the dozens just to play is always a big plus in my book. I even already assembled and painted a group up! Look! Kobayashi shows this picture to the Young LaCroix... Young LaCroix: Hey, that is my uncle... or father... well one of my tribe! While talking, Young LaCroix is pointing at the Dawn Serpent. Kobayashi looking slightly confused. Kobayashi: Well, that looks about right... ... Anyway I have more of your tribe coming in! Young LaCroix looks slightly aghast... Young LaCroix: But the big ones never wanted to hang out with us... apart from ol' Zoraida that is... that makes no sense! Kobayashi looking rather smug at the Young LaCroix. Kobayashi: Because of the fun. Tons and tons of fun I encountered. Poison, explode and kill off all the models! And I even haven't started talking about what we can do to the enemy crew! Young LaCroix leans his head sideways. At least we think it's his head. Young LaCroix: So you intend to hang out for the foreseeable future? Can I invite some more!? Kobayashi is in full delight Kobayashi: That is what I intend! I always say the more the merrier... Looking forward to get into the game full force! Young LaCroix spits into his hand and extends his arm to Kobayashi. After a long motionless and silent pause from both parties Young LaCroix looks puzzled at his hand. He is trying to wipe of the stain at his trowsers, but his hand gets even more dirty. After a while he shrugs and walks off, while still drinking booze... Kobayashi: So folks, look forward to postings like Vicious Vixen - Ophelia spills the secret how to make things go BLAM!, I'm the Boss! - Mah Tucket and Som'er Teeth Jones tell us who is really in charge in the Bayou! and Love Eternal! - Who is the four-legged mystery girl winning Ulyx' heart? Until then I might pester you with asking helpful tips, clarity for rules and advice what to get next or play some crews! See you in the forums!
  12. Somehow I managed to not only get the order with Sammy, Haulers, Burt and Merris (which will arrive late january, due to the order tied to Sammy); but now I also managed to get The Kin, which I ordered preemptively, since I am nearly done with the Brewmaster Crew and thus have some time inbetween. So you all rooting for an additional starter got their idea in... now please let's have a moment of silence to mourn for the contents of my wallet. However the next order will be once I painted it all... no use in having only some models painted up...
  13. Importing her would cost me as much as her box Sorry I'm not living in the US, so I'd rather take the box. The upside would be I get to try Ma'
  14. So after a lot of considering, this is my wishlist for january. Merris LaCroix, Burt Jebsen, Slop Haulers and Sammy LaCroix (which had not been mentioned particularly here). I know I could by a whole crew now... and I don't know HOW I will make the cut, but I just will >.> I have to... I mean... yeah... because the next item for february will be: The Kin box to unite the LaCroix Family. Yeah the Gremlins now won by a large margin... so everyone that suggested stuff in here, pat yourself on the back... you done a good job not only already selling models, but a whole crewbox and than some... I will lay my plan out just for the two months, since obv. assembling and painting needs to be done D:
  15. Well, that is why I won't buy a Whiskey Golem, either - Well at least not for now.Thanks for the input on 10 Thunders, which is much appreciated I keep that in mind... guess there is now a lot to buy now on my list...
  16. Okay - again, thank you for the Input. I guess I go (for the Germlin side), with Merris and Burt. If I recall both have Reckless and that is 6 activations VS. 2 activations from the DS... sure I guess they are not that tough... but I guess the activations even that out. Especially with Merris protecting my peeps from blast. Also the benefit, when I have another Crew, I can add them there... so it's win - win either way. That is also why I decided against the Performers, which might only contribute to the Brewmaster and the Brewmaster alone. So I guess the Gremlin side is covered. We had only one adding to the Ten Thunders (thanks here again), but anything to add from the Ten Thunders side, also in view off which Crew to get (so models that work with the Brew and WITH another 10T Crew), Though fret not, I keep ALL suggestions in mind. I just want my purchases to count and than I can go bananas :3 EDIT: Quoting Trample as a go off... (which is already nicely detailed) Though again, which other crewboxes would work with those added by Trample AND do you have anything to add :)?
  17. Well, hold their hair back is not always used by me and can make the cut... guess we have a winner and if you say that both of them can fit a future box (which I have the assumption of), this might be the gremlins I'm looking for...
  18. And here I am soaking in the torrent of replies. So this is a big shoutout to the nice community. Thank you. Okay - First off, I Chose Brewmaster since the overall theme was screaming at me. How could you not love drunken gremlins (oh well, there are some evidence on the forum (i.e. guild, resser, outcast, arcanist players... 10T get a pass...). This is why I ended up with him. I know he might be not perfect for beginners, but now I have him. Regarding the Moon Shinobis. I like them. 11" Chg (when poisoned, due to their stumble around drunk) is something always funny to see... and while I don't have Trixie, I always shout from the top of my lungs that a Drinking Contest is taking place, as soon as I have initiative... it's just a good feeling... I practically want to hand my opponent a bottle all the time... and the Shinobis do so well with the Brewmaster... I'm still baffled on what to get next... which can also replace the Dawn Serpent, but is not too high on the cost (for moneys), because I really don't like paying the Running Tab at all... Since I don't know the SS cost, would Merris and Burt fit the bill?
  19. Heya Dogmantra, I hear ya. I get that Malifaux is more about having different Crews... again no Problem with dipping into that in the future. Currenlty the henchman I'm playing against is very help- and mindful of my way of learning Malifaux. We currently run fixed schemes, so my Crew has some potential and he is not running upgrades, where my crew would play into his hand... that this sometimes have to change, is a given, but without learning every trick in the book and knowing Brewie to full effect (meaning know what he does and where he and his crew do some shenigans) I really am a bit weary to branch out.... But... let's just pretend (for the sake of the game), what would my current models, I have on Hand (see above), do for another Crew? So I feel more comfortable considering this option. Though thanks for adding to the other miniatures I could take. (Slop Haulers, Burt and Gracie). As for the your tip, thanks, that is a nice info to get, since I really did not consider this. Potentially getting a low value card off the Hand and getting a benefit from it, that is nice... so thanks for that. EDIT: Trample, just saw your input for the 10T side. MUCH appreciated! Looking Forward to reading up on the Non-Gremlin side!
  20. First of all, thank you for all the input so far. It is much valued... ... however to be honest it is very off-putting, getting models suggested, that are tucked away in Crew boxes and there is no other way to get to the plastics. One of the major selling point for me was having a skirmisher with plastic. Mind you, I know that usually it is table set-up; getting to know the objectives and than decide on the master... but I really want to first play ONE box and get to know some aspects of Malifaux, before I upgrade to one or two more. Maybe I should have stressed that enough. Sorry, if I come across rude - I really don't mean to, but right now I want to make do with less buy ins, because I really don't know if I want more Gremlins or Ten Thunders... (or a little bit of both). I also knowthat I won't win by killing my opponent, that is a game I can't play with the box - though having the liver damage upgrade for the Brewmaster, I shy away from that... Yep, that means that some of the cool stuff is currently locked away. That is why I carry the Dawn Serpent with me, not because I want a heavy hitter per se, it is my go to plan, when I don't get iniative (since the Brewmaster relies (in my opinion) on that) and have something that is a nuisance to my opponent as well and can't leave doing stuff on the board, so I have more freedom with the Brewmaster and his shenanigans. I also don't want to dip into outcast - yet. With my limited money I want to buy stuff from either Ten Thunders and / or Gremlins, so I can get another Crew Box in due time and have more for them. So that leaves me currently with: a] Whiskey Golem - though my Dawn Serpent gives around Poison with her MI b] Merris Lacroix; though I can't find the Blast Immune on the PullMyFinger Page c] Lucky Effigy and d] Lightning Bugs (but here it might be possible for me get another box, because magic, though I am reluctant on this side... since I rather would love to have Trixie) Interestingly enough, nobody suggested 10 Thunders models so far... why is that so :/?
  21. Bad things happened to me... well to my wallet, since I recently acquired the Closing Time Starter Box, a Dawn Serpent. a Fate Deck and the small rulebook and here I am turning to you for further advice to acquire the additional miniature... *gasp* So let's start by the beginning, no we won't discuss the creation of earth, the extinction of dinosaurs and apes turning into men... we go a tiny bit further in time. I recently fell in love with some drunken gremlins... I mean, come on, what is NOT to like here? - anyway after getting it to a testdrive (with a nice and very helping henchman), I decided I need a little punch, that will cause my opponent a bit of trouble and a dawn serpent was added to the crew... but we can't leave it at that, shall we? Currently I run the following list... The Brewmaster -> Running Tab -> Binge -> Hold their hair back Aprrentice Wesley Fingers -> Drinking "Problem" 3x Moon Shinobi Dawn Serpent 3 x Soulstones The most flexible thing for me to do is removing the Dawn Serpent (and Running Tab, so I can get the Gremlins), but the Dawn Serpent is one of my major damage dealers and a nice headache for my opponent... (also it gives Poison+2 in melee, must be drinking before the fight). Though I currently think of either: a] Add a Whiskey Golem instead, though I loose the ability to nuke stuff from afar. I could switch Running Tab for The Good Stuff and get an additional Soulstone and the Golem might be good enough via Nimble to wreck havoc... b] Add 2 Rooster Rider, removing the Dawn Serpent and Running Tab c] Look further in the box of the Ten Thunders. Though I am hard presed (and not experienced enough) to know what might work... Also I might want to remove Fingers for another Henchman. Fingers is nice (especially seeing my opponet after all his damage went into nothing and the Poison condition he applied helped on of my Moon Shinobis to get into Melee range with 11", which was nice to see... but the problem, if I play the Dawn Serpent (and declare The Brewmaster drinking for Ten Thunders (like I currently do (this why Binge)) I can't take another Gremlin henchman. One of the solution might be McTarvish (Hey, Wyrd where is the plastic?!?!???!) and add two Bayou Gators along with it... but as I already lamented, there is no plastic model for him. Though eating some pesky markers and playing Fingers game in another way, sounds fun, though the heal is gone *gasp*. Another one, would be a henchman that works well with some Roosters... having a 21" charge just sounds so funny... But maybe you have something completely different and wyrd (yeah... I had to do it, now that is out of the way, we all can move along) for me. Before you give me some advice, here are some things I kindly ask of and it might sound wyrd (ok, I stop now, I promise), but it is for the sake of my wallet, finding the time to paint my stuff and getting to know what I already have... a] Not another Starter Box, so please give advice of things that can easily acquired without getting a Starter... yes this SADLY means Wesley can't hook up with Trixie Belle (damn she's so hawwwt!11!1). I first want to master my current master and get comfortable, before moving on... b] It should be readily available (or at least not too much to proxy)... it's not funny not having a nice model, which you can paint up, after a nice game c] Not change the list completely, again, I want to learn my master and some major players within the box... changing a model here and there is nice... but if the list only consists of the Brewmaster and no other model, it would me do no good d] Explain why you suggest a model, or two. It doesn't help me typing out some names and not why you suggest them. It would be easier for me to add models I know what to expect... and frankly, you are getting your point much more accross. e] I want to go either more into Ten Thunders or Gremlins... so I am hard pressed for Outcasts, but hey, if you have a REALLY goood point, go for it. f] I just love The Binge upgrade. Who doesn't like to see your opponent discarding a hand card, they can't use and get a debuff of some sorts on top of it! In the end, all I can do is say, thank you for reading the thread, take your time to type out a reply and help a new player having more fun in the wy... (I know, I promised) ... mysterious (happy?) world of Malifaux. - Kobayashi
