Will there be a tornado sub theme?

Sorry, i worded that poorly. The competition comes from trying to trigger the paralyze on her attack which does require another .

I cannot say whether or not she works better in Outcasts or Rezzers since i have only played her in Rezzers but she does get a few unique tools in Rezzers. You get access to the Spare Parts upgrade, allowing Tara to become a limited summoner with Guild Autopsies and the rare Rogue Necromancy. If you abuse the beastie bomb tactic you can also attach the Decaying Aura upgrade to your beastie to more easily target Soulstone users. You also can hire powerful control models such as Belles, Nurses, and Yin the Penangalan. I feel i must mention Bete Noire as well. She can start buried and can abuse Decaying Aura however my mileage with her as been very poor since i prefer my high cards to summon rather than bury her. She really likes facing living targets but in order to abuse her most potent trigger to paralyze you need which Karina competes for. I personally like to hire Toshiro with Tara and some Death Marshals to more easily bury everything as well as give buffs to Karina's summons. This is a personal preference though as apparently i have a problem and CANNOT NOT bring Toshiro... Sorry... didn't mean to turn this into Rezzers Anonymous. There is also a good tactica you can find with some Googlefoo that goes into much more depth about Tara and her Outcast and Rezzer roles, though it has been awhile since its been updated. Hope this helps!

My road through the breach began with my interest in Pen and Paper RPGs and board games. I picked up a Pandora crew at the beginning of 2E for the purposes of using them for some RPGs and never did so. Eventually my interest expanded into Miniature games and after a lot of research i was choosing between Infinity and Malifaux. Then i remembered that i had a box Plastics from a few years ago and i plunged in, though now i am a filthy Resser first and foremost ;).

Ignore. Slow today...

Great Job Wyrd!

I did not know that. Thank you for the info.

I have no idea one way or the other about Wyrd's intentions on the size of the Mounted Guard. I do not like them, but then again i did not like the render much either. I do feel they are small and agree that they would be more impressive if at the very least the horses were larger. Without clear knowledge as to what Wyrd's intentions were concerning their size i will not say anything as i believe that is putting words in their mouth, and i am strongly against that.

I don't like the look of the Mounted Guardsman. I agree they could be larger. This is my personal opinion though and it is important to understand the distinction between proof and a personal opinion. It is equally important to realize that to throw around such strong words as "Atrocious" in response to a perceived mistake, when you have nothing except your personal opinion to substantiate it, is at the very least disrespectful. Wyrd deserves the same respect that you are challenging us to uphold. They are also human beings on the other side of the internet. Even if you believe that it was a scaling mistake then there are better ways to go about promoting discussion on the topic.

I am buying Sun Quiang as soon as he is released. He looks amazing. For card draw Yan Lo can try and abuse Philip and the Nanny by exchanging friendly scheme markers for cards. Yan Lo can do this out of activation with Fury of the Yomi, this can also set up chatty for Philip and keep his manipulative going. I haven't tried this much, though its been successful when i have. If you take both, Sun Quaing can provide the markers early on for Philip to exchange for cards. You can also give Philip Take Back the Night, which allows you once per activation to draw a card if a friendly Spirit or Horror within 10" reduces an enemy model's health to 0 with an attack action. You can also hire Sue as a mercenary. The Man in Black can provide some limited protection for a more incorporeal crew. I believe that unless a strat/scheme specifies that the model must be ONLY a peon then it shouldn't cause any issues. For example if you cause an enforcer to become a peon and kill him you should still score for Hunting Party.

I must ask for clarification on this problem with the Mounted Guards. It would appear in your first post that you're problem with the models was that they were not scaled properly, an inference i feel is supported through the fact that you mentioned what is widely considered to be a scaling mishap with the Conversion Kit. This post is all over the place however. You mention that you are aware that there are different sizes of horses but then go on to say that maybe Malifaux shrunk them? If you have a problem with the size of the horses then that is fine but if there are real life examples of horses of that size then it is very doubtful it is a scaling issue. I am not pointing this to be antagonistic but to merely try to understand the reason why you dislike it so much. With regards to Reva i don't think that was a sizing issue either. Giving the photo of the horse i believe it is to be a specter that Reva rides. I think this is supported through her own upgrade Beyond Death where she is able to charge through anything, usually something only incorporeal models can similarly do. A specter would not need to be the size of the horse Lucas McCabe need ride. This is speculation on my end though as i do not have the Ripples book and don't know if the fluff says anything about her horse. BTW i do happen to love Reva and her horse. To add one last point: it is perfectly fine to say that you dislike the aesthetic of a model and believe they could have done better. However, I think it is a different thing to accuse them of making a mistake with the model's scaling just because of that.

Reva loves Bete. Her candles act as Bete Deployment Units basically.

You don't know... it could've worked... We may end up with the trickster yet. And was this Wyrd's plan? To blow the event wide open by pitting the two leading factions against one another?

I went in knowing we lost last round. If just a brief association with The Dreamer caused them to focus on the trickster then what would Nytemare marking her do? We can still pull through however, especially since the ending week isn't directly tied with The Dreamer. Sad to see Yan Lo lose out on an Ancestor though... Win to report for the trickster tonight already! Wife surprised me with a game after work. I also got to try Yan Lo with Vincent, Izamu, and Philip. Those three support each other well. Probably the most fun game i've ever had. She spoils me.

So we lost the fourth scenario as well. Hopefully our early lead will pull us through for the trickster

Win for the child tonight. Gotta love Fugue State Pandora

If you look at the current weeks pdf for the character it will have a small fluff piece about who won while also setting up this weeks scenarios. As far as i am aware you would need to look at each week individually. If you would just like a breakdown it is as follows: Man- Arcanists, Guild, Arcanists Trickster- Ressurs, Ressers, Neverborn Child- Neverborn, Neverborn, Outcasts.

Great reports! Im hoping to try Spare Parts Reva myself sometime and you're not helping me resist any though.

Yan Lo appearing here to report a win for the trickster.

I think this is a great breakdown on the state of the characters. I am going to play as Yan Lo for Ressers tomorrow and win (calling it now, knock on wood) and hopefully i will win for the child next week as Neverborn.

I will say i'm glad you're a proponent of Beyond Death. There are not many others that choose it over Guises due to a misconception that Reva is extremely squishy. Beyond Death is quite nasty and allows her to be much more flexible with her attacks. I have derailed enough threads into Reva gushing though so i will not continue. lol

I agree. Personally i find The Dreamer boring and am now fully aligned to the Trickster for the Ancestor trait and the fluff for her as written so far. Hopefully, the realization that if attention is given to her to win her for The Dreamer we could actually lose her out as a model completely will deter some of those that are conflicted.

So we lost for Trickster to Neverborn. However, i love the story and set up for next game and if Ressers win we get a NEW ANCESTOR FOR YAN LO. We must win!

Don't try to plink her for damage. She can heal damage very well but it requires smart activation on the Reva players part to do so. Deliver a beater to her face and go to town. Pandora should do very well if you can incite Reva. Force her to activate with less than desirable targets and have her kill chaff or nothing preferably. As mentioned by Torsul Pandora also makes being hit by Reva an uphill battle with her 7 WP. If Reva brought along Carrion Emissary kill it as fast as possible. Shards of Kythera with My Little Helper can be nasty and you do not want Reva getting free moving corpse markers to shoot from. Hope this helps!

I'm wondering if Vincent should be a consideration for Yan Lo. He is a very mobile Henchmen that works as a great harassment piece and anti-scheme runner. He also can apply his nasty 0 debuff to apply some severe pressure to select models. I think his most obvious interaction though is his lack of randomizing for friendly spirits. Great synergy for Izamu and anyone that Yan Lo may transcend into a spirit.
