  1. I'm excited to hear you doing something about the distributors. For over a year now, trying to order Malifaux through our local store was a lost cause due to them not being able to get stuff that was ordered. Hopefully this will change things!
  2. I don't want to speculate on how many guilders each of these may cost, or how the redemption will work, but unless it's extremely generous, it may take someone who doesn't place Top 2 every event a VERY long time to get these. Ebay may be a terrible place, but I'm willing to go to a terrible place to get Hamlin sooner.
  3. I would do terrible terrible things to get that Hamelin model. ...unfortunately it sounds like those "terrible things" will mean buying it off ebay.
  4. +1 to this. Nobody has killed my Obedient Wretch in our group yet, but if they did, I think I'd suddenly find myself very lost. Also, if you start to see multiple rats in close proximity to each other, it IS worth it to kill a couple of them. That goes doubly if you see 4 next to each other, it means I'm a single activation away from a Rat King, if you have ANYTHING at all that can kill even a single rat with this activation, DO IT! Some people seem to have the mindset of "It's only a 2pt rat, I don't want to waste a good activation on a rat", but if you don't, I get a free 8 point model (possibly multiple). Rats are easy to kill and ignoring them will hurt more later. As far as Killjoy, my opponents that have successfully dealt with him have done one of two things. Either surround my models when they kill them so there is no room to even summon Killjoy, or have a sacrificial model kill the thing that I'm obviously intending to summon Killjoy from, with a bunch of super-killy stuff nearby ready to focus on Killjoy hard. Most opponents who play the first few rounds with Killjoy in mind, and make dealing with him a large part of their plans, seem to have little problem with him, easily removing a huge chunk of my crew. Oh, and with the exception of the handful of killy figures I bring (Killjoy, Baby Kade, Johan), my thematic stuff grinds to a halt when it has to try and kill something with Armor.
  5. The Vermin keyword is relevant with Rat Catchers, they can give them Reactivate with the Moldy Cheese ability.
  6. When is movement not a concern? (for putting in the Ice Golem) I've mostly been playing with my Hamelin so far (assembling the December stuff today actually), and it seems like every game I've had a lot of movement between scheme running, hunting for targets to kill, trying to claim objectives, etc.
  7. Could we also see the Turtle Izamu and Blessed Bunny card fronts? One of the local players here doesn't believe that there will be Alt cards for them. >.<
  8. You should have awhile before the next league. Unless a store wants to intentionally burn out it's community, they usually put a decent amount of time between Leagues. But as far as what Faction to choose, a lot of people in our league are currently running Outcasts, so you can assume a mass exodus out of them when the next league does start. Neverborn will always have some appeal just because of the scary monsters. So, are you looking at those two factions due to rules you like, fluff/models you like, or trying to be a special snowflake?
  9. I totally think of a Kappa when I see it. That would absolutely fit in well with the Ten Thunders.
  10. I for one, am VERY excited for both Turtle Izamu and the Blessed Bunny. Especially the Izamu, he makes me think of a Kappa. (which is how I'm rationalizing him being a spirit, though I haven't quite rationalized how he's undead yet) I am baffled by people complaining about cool alternate sculpts. This is the kind of stuff that breathes life into a game and gets people really excited to be involved in the hobby. Regular releases are important, but it's stuff like this that makes a game special.
  11. I just want to know the fluff behind the giant Bunny Blessed of December... how did that happen? ...and why is Tortoise Izamu an Undead Spirit? That's the fluff I want! lol
  12. A Giant Bunny rabbit as an alternative Blessed of December? Oh those wild and zany Tyrants!
  13. This makes me want to see stand-alone Venus Flytrap Minion/Peons. Those things look great on the base!
  14. So... it sounds like the Golem really needs Snow Storm's help to be at it's best. I was kinda hoping there may be more situations where an Ice Golem would be useful without needing another expensive figure supporting it.
  15. Hello, I recently bought a Rasputina crew box, as I really love the December theme. I will also be getting a Snow Storm and Acolytes of December to go along with her. I've been seeing a lot of love for Snow Storm with Rasputina, but not much love for the Blessed of December, and even less for the Ice Golem. In a 50ss game... When would you include either of those two instead of the Snow Storm? When would you take either of those alongside a Snow Storm? (knowing it wouldn't leave many SS for other things) I am trying to decide if I want to buy a Blessed of December. If nothing else, I guess she's good with Marcus. But the Ice Golem, this beautiful translucent figure, needs to find a spot in my lists. I'm just not sure where. >.<
  16. Wait... there are Malifaux tiers? Where can this tier list be found? Who decided the tiers? I'm dubious as to this statement about there being a lower tier, or any other tier... >.>
  17. My local game store said just a few days ago that their distributor still has 'Brotherhood of the Rat' listed as a PreOrder.
  18. If you push all the terrain to one side of the table, it should still cover 1/3 to 1/2 of the table. If you're playing with less than that, it could be the problem. Keep in mind also, that hills don't count towards this, since they let you see over stuff, essentially making them anti-terrain.
  19. Last I heard, the Wargames Vault cards counted as "official" cards. Fully legal in tournament play and everything. Though after buying 5 cards and paying for shipping, you may be better off just buying the Arsenal 2 Deck. Here's the link to the stuffed piglet cards. http://www.wargamevault.com/browse.php?keywords=malifaux+stuffed
  20. I ordered two boxes at the same time a week ago, one from Miniature Market, and one from my local game store. I've already received the one from Miniature Market. ...but last night (1/11) my LGS owner told me that the Brotherhood box was listed as "PreOrder" at the Distributor. When I informed him that I had ordered it elsewhere also and already had the other box assembled and ready to play, he said that maybe MM had released it early. Then I told him that it had released back in December, and at that point he said the Distributor must have a glitch in their system or something.
  21. But I think they're saying that for my second master, I'll be needing scheme runners other than Crooligans, since they're Hamelin-only. I don't have Crooligans for Hamelin yet, but I may get them tomorrow.
  22. Thank you for doing this! I had to use your site as a reference a couple times while assembling my Hamelin box.
  23. Hello, I'm trying to decide what Master to get next after Hamelin. Preferably I'd like one that likes the schemes and strategies that Hamelin doesn't like. It would also be nice if I didn't need to buy much beyond their crew box. What I own so far for Outcasts is: The Hamelin Crew, 2x Brotherhood of the Rat, Killjoy, Convict Gunslingers, Johana. Your suggestions would be very appreciated.
  24. Thank you all for the responses! It looks like I'll end up getting 2 Brotherhood boxes, one coming this weekend, another coming next week. This way I can paint a variety of rat colors AND have 4 Rat Kings ready "just in case." Of course the extra Rat Catchers will be ummm... I dunno what I'll do with them.
