Not this thread I don’t think, but I found him.

Not crazy about another box set I want a single model from, but it does look like an amazing model both in art and rules.

Who is Klaus? Not finding a card in the app by that name.

Does the ‘this model’ for unburying from the ashwood coffin refer to Lady J?  If so what if she’s dead?  There’s no automatic unbury on Lady J’s death like with the pine box.

As I only play club games rather doing any events, I fully intend to just use a Thallarian Queller or something similar as a Guild Mage.  Gatling gun less easy to proxy.

I miss his ability to teleport around the board by swapping places with minions, whilst simultaneously dropping a scheme marker as a bonus.  It was such an action efficient and flexible move.  Bring that back plz.

It's definitely ignoring the bubble that she fears the most. She is absurdly strong in the bubble, and if she dives out of it she can still hit like a truck and tank well but she can't do it all game, especially against something like an executioner. If you can outscheme her and punish the models that leave her bubble then you should have a good chance of winning.

Also, the counter punch was heavily nerfed in the latest Errata/FAQ as it now includes the fate modifier ( or  based on difference in duel total) of the attack that generated it. This means that if your duel total is within 6 of hers (winning or losing) she will be at  to damage on her "Good Shot, My Turn" trigger, which is much less threatening than a straight 2/3/5.

Ooh.  That’s worth knowing.  Where is it in the FAQ? I’m not spotting it.

Cheeky to ask, but what do you fear as a Toni player?  What can effectively deal with her?

I play Lucius and my regular opponent as Toni rips through my crew.  She just seems to keep piling up the adrenaline to be simultaneously un-killable, a killing machine and often with pushes and a 4th action for mad range.

Attacking her just fuels up the devastating counter punch and obviously punching her very quickly hurts you more than her.

Does she have a kryptonite beyond shooting her lots?

Now 26.  I’m guessing you’ve hit some limit of number of episodes and it’s erasing the earlier ones.

The Breachside Broadcast seems to start at episode 25 on Spotify.  Easy enough to find what was missing elsewhere but thought it worth reporting.

As a Lucius player in 2nd, I'm entirely without even announced model support.  Has there been any indication when Lucius/Dashel are coming?  They aren't on the upcoming list at all.

Any does not mean one.

Bumping this as I independently came to the same question and it would be good to have FAQ clarification.

Whilst I believe the intent is probably one, it is definitely able to be read multiple ways.

'A model'

'any one model',

'any modelS'

would all be much clearer!

I think the main advantage of the Lucius 'when you're ahead on VP' upgrade is it is a great tool to influence your opponent's scheme choice.

Its power level will be very pool and opposing crew dependant.

Lucius gets an upgrade that gives him arcane reservoir, and the ability to discard a card to draw one.  If the drawn card is worse, he can discard it to draw another.

His other upgrade has three abilities.  The first is that he can discard an opponent's scheme marker at the start of his activation if he has more vp. The second is that when he kills a model with Devil's Deal, he gets another soul stone.  The third is an action that can give a target the condition that it cannot cheat fate.

Oh my stars!

More than I had dared to dream!

Moving to Sunday evenings from September 2017.  Still playing Malifaux!

I like.  What did these guys generally do again?  Playtest rules have been removed.

Lucius doing some guardsman/mimic summoning seems like it would be very thematic.  Otherwise not sure what I expect for him having only just received some nice new toys in the errata.  Excited at the possibilities though!

First Malifaux game for ages on Tuesday. Pretty excited so I've been list building already.

Deployment: Standard Deployment (2)
Strategy: Guard the Stash (Crows)
Schemes:
* Claim Jump (Always)
* Dig Their Graves (Crows)
* Accusation! (Masks)
* Recover Evidence (6)
* Tail 'em (10)

And I know my opponent is trying his new Jakob Lynch crew.

I've gone for:

Lucius - Suprisingly Loyal
Scribe
Witchling Thrall
Lawyer
Austringer
Sanctioned Spellcaster
Terracotta Warrior
Field Reporter
Changeling
Guardian

Schemes to be Tail' em and Accusation!

Plan being to pretty much stubbornly hold on and refuse to die while sitting on the objectives and tagging accusations/spotted all over.

Thrall, Lawyer, Guardian and Terracotta Warrior for stubborn refusal to die.
Austringer for push + interacts for accusing.
Spellcaster to counter lures from Beckoners with his (0) action.
Field Reporter to hoover up any enemy scheme markers if he goes for those schemes.
Changeling to be a cheap extra pair of hands and maybe turn the Illumminated's brilliance back on them by stealing their bonus damage.

Reporter and Changelings also manipulative so stick with the hard to attack theme.

It went pretty well!  I fairly handily scored max so only needed to deny a couple of points for the win.  The Guardian and the Thrall were great at just standing by the stash markers and refusing to die and The Watcher as a last minute swap in for the Changeling was an excellent choice for swooping in at the last minute if a push or pull had left a stash unguarded.

Turns out Lucius' handing out push and interact is great for removing accusations as well as handing them out.  I still love the flexibility he gives, where as long as he hasn't activated almost every single model of yours is still a potential threat.

All this despite managing to have Lucius paralyse himself with horror via a terribly timed black joker, and my opponent's end of turn one hand looking like this:

From Lucius' encounter with Titania in RoF, it's pretty clear to me that though Lucius may be Neverborn by species, his loyalties begin and end with improving the lot of a certain Mr. Lucius Matheson and everyone else can go hang.  He personally does very well out of Malifaux being a swirling hotbed of conflicting factions and schemes and will do whatever it takes to maintain the status quo with him on top.

I don't think Nelie is Lucius but I firmly believe he is behind her recruitment.

If taking them I usually take 2 with Lucius and Dashel and aim to get at least one Gatling cannon death star turn and wipe out something big.  I find attempts to protect them rarely work and you're better planning to be positioned for a nice counter attack at whatever has just charged them. 

If you're expecting them to be in melee next turn then pretty much write them off as dead and don't forget you can get one more volley out them before they croak by the lethal re-activation Dashel can hand out.

Lucius specific plan, but being able to freely shoot into a combat that contains a friendly Doppelganger can catch people by surprise.

I finally lucked into a FB trading group sale so one is on its way to me, but desperate times called for desperate measures in the current Austringer figure drought.

I believe McCabe is in the TT Arsenal Deck 2.  Which is one of the ones that seems to still be pretty well stocked in the wild.

It's a differently named ability with the same effect so Useless Duplications (which I assume you meant) can indeed be combined with Highest Authority to discard two cards for double negative.

'When a friendly Mimic within 3" and LoS is targeted...'

At least I assume Lucius counts as being in LoS to himself?

I hadn't actually noticed it was to be used on other people though, I thought it was just for self protection like Highest Authority!  That makes it more useful in a mimic heavy crew.
