The lack of salt is refreshing here...

... will you trade your faction's personality with mine?

The level of engagement with the chronicles is always disappointing considering the work that goes in, and I *know* people are reading them.

I wonder if a blog format would get more discussions going?

Also interesting that most of the comments here support an e-zine when blog is winning the pole. 

Not surprising though. The people that are willing to take the extra steps to download an e-zine are are the ones who are more willing to take the extra time to post an opinion about it.

It is more card intensive but more AP efficient for Zorida to Obey a wisp to make a doll if it comes down to it.

FYI the Wisp's Ever Changing Form action can only be taken during the Wisp's activation. So Zoraida can't obey them to do it.

i'm not sure because of the following sentence from GG18:

If any two Schemes would earn any VP off the same model being killed or sacrificed, you must choose only one of your Schemes to score from.

You are only scoring 1 point from the model being killed, the other is from the model being reduced to 0.

The reason for our confusion on this was the word "when" on Amina's ability. The model therefore stops being a peon when she is killed, not after she is killed. 

I'm not married to the way we played it (I don't even think I scored the strategy that round 😰), just trying to explain why we thought it was ambiguous. 

Just to share my opinion,  although I'm sure I'm in the minority,  I'd  preprefer a 40 piece model if it meant it was the regular material. 

It was a guilder model though,  so I'm not really gonna complain. But if it was something I was purchasing I'd have probably steered clear.

It is cool to see new (or new takes on old) processes being tested. Do I wish I could get the painter gremlin or alt Lazarus in regular plastic? Yeah,  but it is what it is. The new plastic isn't for me,  I'll hold off judgment on the metal until I see it in the wild. Until then I'll just take it as an opportunity to paint all this stuff I have on my shelve already haha

Why wouldn't you...

Hey! Yeah, looks like we definitely need to move it. They've been getting more expensive every year, so moving is very tempting.

However, I have not been very active on PMF lately. I'd really welcome someone who would help me move it to a new site. I'll be looking for someone experienced with these things to help.

Thanks,

@Thimblesage This kinda thing seems up your alley...

A player with some experiebce against Brewmaster ajould surely be avle to cope. Fight the good fight until everyone has woken up with a hangover and adjust their play to face him!

If you can break gremlins you can probably break any other faction and feel you have to police yourself there. Switching up factions is fun though, wish I'd done it a lot sooner.

Shh, let me justify putting all this other plastic on the table.

I'm sorry to have apparently started a big discussion. 

Sorry - I didn't want to imply anything bad about you or your playstyle. I just wanted to mention the Tanuki + Pigapult combo as an example of, as you say, exploiting mechanics to be competitive in Gremlins, of which I am not a big fan. I don't think it is necessary - personally I try to win games without having to resort to these combos, it is definitely possible  

No worries. That was the point I was making as well. I really was just seeing if the gimmick would fall on it's face immediately out of the gate.

The idea to not play gimmicks is interesting. I think we can all see that the tanuki-pault is a gimmick, but where do you start calling synergies gimmicks. As it stands at the moment I'd personally rather just play a different faction where I don't have to self-police my lists. Just what I'm feeling about gremlins ATM

Your favorite master in party mode is generally regarded as deeply unfun to play against since you can dangle his most favorite toys just out of reach in the drinking bubble.  It's 1st edition Hamlin all over again.  The fact that you can turn around and tanuki-pult him in the face for 6 more VP while he's helplessly sucking down drinks is the icing on a very boozy cake. 

Very true, and this is the problem. If you like Brewmaster then you are kinda in a sticky situation. You either play him like he is supposed to be played, and make things un-fun, or just don't play the master you find fun. I personally don't see a solution to this problem, haha.

The answer for me personally is to take a break from Brewmaster, and just play other things that are more fun for both sides.

I spoke with your opponent, he was rather furious, so it must not have been fun for him 

Yeah, I definitely get that. I don't think he had ever player Symbols of Authority, or seen the pigapault to be honest. He basically threw 2 crooligans (necropunks?) to me turn one, and then never even tried to defend his symbols. 

TBH, i'm kinda leaning away from gremlins right now anyway for reasons such as this. I got a lot of salt from my opponent round two as well, and this was just for using swill and the drinking contest, the only things my master is able to do... (he meanwhile was using the Titania/Barbaros double taunt bubble... pretty much the same thing as a drinking contest IMO)

It's gotten to the point where I feel like I have to exploit mechanics to be competitive in gremlins. Then after matches I get to hear about how my list was un-fun or something like that.

I've been playing NB since LVO, ad apparently me just killing the whole enemy crew is more fun then gremlin tricks... Whatever lol, the game is a lot more fun for me when I don't have to deal with hearing about how my lists are un-fun, or seeing my opponent check out. 

*edit* - I would like to say this is not me calling out my round two opponent. He did acknowledge his reaction, and by the end we had a decent game. It is just hard for me to stay involved when I see my opponent check out, for whatever reason.

As the person (I think, was it at LVO?) who did the Tanuki thing at a tournament, I just wanted to see if it was viable.

I got lucky and got to use the pigapault to kill 2 scheme runners turn 1, then turn 2 did the tanuki-pault for Set Up and Public Demo. I then proceded to only win my one point because I had just thrown 3 Punish the Weak models to Seamus.

I was fun, but honestly I don't know that I would bother to do it in a tournament setting again.

Also, its been a month. We really can end the Gremlin Errata discussion and making every topic about how unfair life is to Gremlins I think.

That has been going on a lot longer than a month, but I wholeheartedly agree.

You are correct

Gremlins also won a 28 people tournament in Poland and I think @edopersichetti was second at LVO

I'm kinda a screwy gremlin player though. I played Mama Z all three rounds at LVO.

Or use The Sow as ammo.

For only 8SS you get 3 turns of shooting without The Need of cards or corpse markers or whatever.

 

Hmm, for some reason I thought that the Pigapault could only sacrifice HT1 pigs. This is something I'll be trying as well.

Shame you can't sac them as Stuffed Piglet Ammo

 

I've never had much luck with using the Stuffed as ammo, due to the -1 Sh ans the inability to cheat damage.

I did not remember that they did poison. 

Hmm, while they can get three walks then, or charge the Flying Piglet that has yet to be sacrificed that turn. 

Plan adjustment, but I am still excited to try out the Pigapult using them as an ammo source.

If you take a Taxidermist and summon a turn, then the Flying piglet can walk on the turn it is summoned (due to slow), then the next turn it can walk and charge the Pigapult to get into position to be sacrificed. You can cheat to miss the attack, or just take the one damage due to Pigapault armor. 

Lets you get off a Baconload every turn, and the pigs don't need to be summoned anywhere near the Pigapault to be able to get in range.

I'm going to tag onto this and ask, if the building was 12 inches wide could you legally get to the other side with a double walk or would you only get 11 inches on (3 up and 4 across with first walk and 7 across with 2nd walk)?

There is no such thing as a "double walk". You can take 2 walk actions in a row, but the first one would end before the second started, and you would need to add the height to the distance for that reason.

I had no idea how rare they would be, NIB. Maybe I'm not sitting on the lucrative goldmine of out of production Malifaux miniatures in my backyard that I first thought...? 

They are pretty hard to find. The store near me is small and just happens to have a lot of old metals. I do remember last year MiniaturesMarket had a clearance sale and several metal Marcus boxes were available. 

I'm sure as soon as I decide to get one they'll be nowhere to find.

As far as your original question about the Sow. I'm a fan, as a gremlin player. Marcus has the ability to lower enemy's WP, which could work well with her terrifying ability. Be forewarned though, I'm also the guy planning to play PigMourning, so don't blame me if it turns out to be a dumb idea.

If you want an OOP NIB Marcus box containing the old Myranda sculpt, I know where one is, with an authentic layer of dust to prove its provenance.  

Haha, I'll pass. I feel the Thunders calling me next.

I have a store nearby that has a few in stock when I get around to it, and it'll save me the horror that is US-AUS shipping rates 

I personally can't stand the plastic Myranda sculpt, I'm going to go for the metals when I get around to picking up Marcus.
