There were quite a few last edition that didn't have henchmen. I've not kept up on whats with what this edition but Yan lo is henchmanless in his box. (Hamlin is at 10 models in his core box, but I think its safe to say Rats are a special case). 

Yeah, well, shouldve done my research before posting.

Still, i want to believe that archivist will be included.

Nexus, 5 Minions, & 2 Totems is already 8 models at 31 stones.... would they bother putting the Archivist in the core box for that 9th model or would he be separate?

We have seen 9 model boxes in m2e, so i dont see why that cant happen again.

And i dont think there was a box without henchman😁

Here are my guesses... maybe a mourner wedged between Minako Rei and the Grave Golem... or maybe that is Manos, and what I have marked as Manos is the Mourner...

 

We saw art on Minako in Broken promises already
Also, there is second Mourner on the far left
So I am pretty sure that this is correct:

Are the stat cards for the Malifaux Starter set minis (Dr. Grimwell and company) in any of the books?

Yep, in Shifting Loyalties

I meant instead of spending 7SS on a BBS, wouldn't it be more effective to just hire a 3rd Illuminated instead?

As I mentioned above, I was never disappointed by BBS. And 3 Illuminated is sometimes too much.

I'm curious, wouldn't you be better off with a 3rd Illuminated?

Probably no, as BBS can give only Black Blood only 2 times in the first turn, and turn two Illuminated like to be already on the frontline, not in the range of Shaman's range

Mr.Cooper is Tiger Lillies, not sure exactly which song, but probably this:

1. Zoraida obeys Bloodwretch to take (1) The Rage Builds

2. Zoraida obeys Bloodwretch to charge (Juju/hemmed Doll/Illuminated as a target).

Now the question is, does the Bloodwretch get to draw 2 cards after damaging? Because if he does, he can still do two more attacks during his activation for a total of 8 cards to be cycled. Seems too good so I'm probably interpreting it wrongly....

He gets to draw cards during obey charge, but not during its activation, as Rage Builds buff lasts only until the end of current activation, not end of turn.
But the combo is pretty solid anyway

Black blood shaman - I may be wrong but I have the feeling they are overcosted by 2SS imho.

I always take one BBS with Lynch and it never disappoints me. Throw black blood on 2 illuminated turn 1 and later just support to make them even more survivable, and even more hard-hitting, and inflict a bit of irresistible damage if someone gets within 1"

I think the following are errata free

 Lynch

 

Woke Up With a Hand was changed, so no Lynch

This is truly sad... I know they probably won't (and IMO shouldn't) errata Angel Eyes, I was really hoping for something for the other two.  I'd even be willing to settle for Aeslin to drop to 8ss...

 

This is still not final errata, after all. So maybe... 

Beckoners are great for 6, now there is actual reason to take them over Lilitu.
Not sure about Lelu, Kade, Tuco and Spawn Mother, in my opinion price was not the problem with them, it was rather their weird roles. Ill try them now anyway.
Rider is insane for 10 IMO, and I think he will become an auto-take in sertain strat/scheme pools.
Bunraku seem great, but i have never played or faced them so not sure how great exactly. 
No strong opinion about Vas and Bad Juju.

Storm and Sinister Reputation got a change in-text.

Oh. Didnt know that, as I havent purchased cards in the app. Sorry

Nothing about Angel eyes, Aeslin and the Groar?

Seems like no. Maybe just not yet, we saw only cost changes for now.

Something from the new errata appeared in malifaux app
We got several SS discounts:
Beckoners, Lelu, Baby Kade and Tuco each dropped 1 stone, all of them being 6 SS now
Bunraku are 5 SS
Hooded Rider dropped 2 SS, now he is at 10
Vasilisa and Spawn mother go down to 8 SS
Bad Juju 7 SS
What do you guys think?

• Lynch based on the book 5 art (It's pretty amazing and I can't un-correlate the existing sculpt with Dead Man's Hand.... plus the awesome Alt HD needs a new friend, right?)

Now I'm very curious what does that art look like!

From the FAQ:

116) The Changeling’s Copycat Ability allows them to take the Attacks of other models; how does this affect their engagement range? It does not. Actions which Changelings may be able to take due to Copycat are not factored in when determing whether a model is engaged for the purposes of disengaging strikes, shooting into combat, etc.

So I guess Changeling is not able to make any disengaging strikes.

Whoops.. Lokks like I forgot to log out from my account, because i borrowed his phone to submit reply...

Are the book strategies (turf war, interference, etc) in the strategies and schemes bundle? If not, is it possible to get them as single card add ons?

Yep, they are. It is written in the list of all cards at wargamevault.

Hmmmmm, last stand addition and hunting party no longer being suit scheme both seem like very good changes as for crossroads 7, and I am happy with that.

So I'm gonna get the alt Bishop from the black friday sale, but I don't know if he is any good in NB.
If yes, which masters like to hire him and what are approriate uses for him?

Malifaux Provides is also great for Hooded Rider, because he lacks that in-built way to heal.
And yes, huggy seems good with MP too, havent thought of this one.

Yeah, new limited upgrades for master and unique characters are the things that I probably want to see in book 5. Cant think of anything else right now. Except, maybe, crossroads 7 - I think they deserve something better then just that upgrade.

Oh, that's so sweet. If dark carnival coryphees will be available, I think I'll start a new faction. Damn.

And for the topic, I think that Graves, Tannen and doppleganger are auto-byus, and then you should learn your current meta and decide what else you need.
