The initial post said that Malifaux had become a counterpick game. They then asked for tech for that purpose. It is not incorrect for posters to assume this description of the game would influence his, or her, crew building philosophy heavily. Therefore posters replied with a different philosophy to influence crew building in such a way that the initial poster may earn more points per game and hopefully win more often.

Agree as well. To add, it is not incorrect at all to invest some Stones into counter tech. If you don’t invest into accomplishing your goals though you likely won’t be winning.

Von Schill vs Misaki Turf War, Hold Up Their Forces, Harness the Leyline, Claim Jump, Vendetta, Detonate Charges Steam Trunk 2x Librarians w/ Wanted Criminal Engineer Scout Prospector 2x Freikorpsmann Won 6-2. Idea was to try and maximize card draw with 2 Librarians and get some ancillary draw from Appraise and Protection Money. Wanted Criminal seemed like a good idea for the focus and also for providing an engagement range. Takeaways: Librarians are amazing, though siphoning too much power is scary. Wanted Criminal is pretty decent on them. I think the Scout is intended to be a scheme runner/ anti-scheme runner. He seems to die very fast otherwise. He did nothing this game, though a Misaki that only flips severe on damage flips will do that... Engineer did nothing. Needs more testing. Steam Trunk died first. I think my wife will kill the Prospector first every game. I enjoy yelling APPRAISE! I absolutely love the Freikorps. They have so much movement now and I enjoy the tactical options Von Schill’s equipment provides. Next time I intend to supercharge a Freikorpsmann, or two, or a Drache Trooper and see what happens.

Yes, my issue was with whether or not there would be a “game memory” issue involuntarily introduced with the wording of Armory. @solkan I saw those upgrade rules but wanted to avoid a possible rabbit hole on the term “same”. Thank you and @Adran for the rules help and for the odd image of you in M2E cars chains. 👻

Wouldn’t the Shove Aside trigger have a hard time finding targets then when facing an enemy crew with multiples of a model? If not, and you are allowed to, for example, Shove Aside a Sorrow and target another Sorrow, then it would follow that the two Sorrows are considered “different” despite sharing everything but physical space in the game area. What then disqualifies two Rocket Launchers from being “different” upgrades and still interacting with Armory in the manner I described in my initial question?

I have a couple of questions I would like some clarification on. All answers are appreciated. 1. The Steam Trunk’s Armory ability reads: After a friendly Minion or Freikorps model within 3” discards an Equipment upgrade, it may discard a card to Attach a different Equipment upgrade. As written, it appears that different only refers to an Equipment other than the one discarded, meaning a model can use a Rocket Launcher, discard it, and use Armory to attach a second Rocket Launcher so long as the second one is still available. Is this correct? 2. The Rocket Launcher attack action has a Once per Turn clause. What happens if a Rocket Launcher attack action is used, thereby discarding the Equipment, and another Rocket Launcher is attached. Is this new Rocket Launcher attack action still unavailable due to the Once per Turn clause on the previously discarded upgrade or can this Rocket Launcher attack action be used since it is a “newly” acquired attack action?

Last I knew Wyrd had said that they do not intend to make the Undying models available individually through their program to buy new models without rebuying old ones. If they do offer the Undying model’s separately by faction in the future that would be great as I would buy the Rezzer side again in a heart beat. You don’t happen to live near Missouri do you? Then we could split it! Lol

My wife and I did the exact same thing (I play Reva and she plays Misaki) and splitting the box has been kind of a pain. Remember that the Wanyudo can be summoned by Minako so if your wife is interested in that you two will be sharing him. You can always buy a metal Wanyudo from Bushido(?) if that is a problem. The Mourners are great pieces for Reva, especially with Killer Instinct. The upgrade is good consideration for maximizing their defensive tech and also scoring some sneaky points with Mourn the Dead. They have become priority targets of my opponents. Generally when I take one I take a Mourner with KI, Restless Spirit, and Anna Lovelace for a scheming package. Though real life has been providing me with more rewarding things than Rezzing lately so take all this with a grain of soulstone.

Reva can also shoot through her attack vectors on an attack generated from a charge meaning under peak conditions her threat range is a little over 17” + a Shielded model’s base size. This should allow you to pressure enemy models more easily without leaving her open to too many threats. It also allows more chances to abuse her healing and trigger Spirits in the Flames. Also, Anna Lovelace is amazing for Revenants, albeit expensive.

Do these special orders extend to encounter boxes? I am asking because Minako and Reva are competing for the 1 Wanyudo in the box.

I can see that. I’m hoping that in each Master’s section of the Books (assuming that each Master has a section) they have a compendium or something showing all their Keyword hires available at launch. Each Book would also hopefully include directions to model stats online.

For further clarification, what is happening with OOF models that are part of keywords with regards to Faction Decks and books? For example, the Wanyudo and Revenants or the Necropunk and Amalgam. I doubt they will be part of Faction Decks but am wondering if they will be part of the Books.

I tried searching for the Draugr build instructions and haven’t been able to find them so I am asking here. Where can I find the build instructions, if there are any? I read gmchaotica’s unboxing and he or she said there were none at the time.

My suggestion for Malifaux is a Mrs. Phillip and the Nanny. Maybe Phillipa? Philomena? Philadelphia? or, Phillip and Mr. Nanny? Both? Not sure how to implement it but thats not my department...

My wallet!

List Removed.

Yin. I have been holding off from purchasing her because i am waiting for a more dynamic sculpt.

Shieldbearers are sold seperately. You may be able to find her henchman and totems at gadzooks.com

You’re welcome lol

This would be a good point if not for the fact that forum-goers are autonomous agents with free will and can choose what they read. It is healthier for the forums on the whole for the closed beta testers to be able to post their opinions. Non testers who choose to read information should be skeptical of opinions until they can play with the rules themselves.

Ouch. Good thing Ressers are Hard to Wound... Maybe she develops relationships with the waifs and begins their paths to mechromancer...hood...ness?

Hi! I just wanted to take the time to call out Blue Wyrm Paint Studio for their recently finished commission i hired them for. I have always been a tad fascinated with Joan of Arc and that actually led me to purchasing my first real master, Reva. Her alt being announced seemed like the perfect opportunity for Joan to come through the breach so here are the results! I really love what they came up with considering the instructions i gave them. I wanted this to be as if Joan in her traveling clothes came upon St Catherine, her famous “scythe”, and took it into battle, rust and all. The flames were made blue to highlight her blue eyes. The basing is supposed to be ash being disturbed by the circulating flames. Ash was chosen for the base because of Joan’s tragic end, as well as Reva’s coming use of pyre markers. This model is even more beatiful in person and i cant’t wait to do business with Blue Wyrm again.

Poor choice of company?

Reva can take the Wanyudo?! Interesting...

Thanks again for the advice!
