I hope they will not simplify it too much, I think the game is in a really healthy state right now and would be sad to see it ruined. Rather than an overhaul of the rules I hope they would streamline some things. Have strategy markers function the same, have slam and assist be the same range. Stuff like that. A couple of things I would like to see changed rulewise though. Cheap minions focused on fighting very rarely work. Usually you prefer 1 big one over 2 small. Less masters that fiddle around with themselves for the entire first round. That is not fun for either player and some masters can be quite terrible with it.

Need a bit of help on what to buy next
esqulax replied to DoesNotCompute's topic in Malifaux Discussion
Mei Feng: Mei Feng, Kang, Forgeling, 3 Rail Workers -> Explosive Material, Heavy Metal and Bayou Engineering are honestly all good to get. I would recommend that order. Mah Tucket: Mah Tucket, The Little Lass, Trixiebelle, 3 Bayou Bushwackers -> I would get Rooster Riders and Wierd Science Lord Cooper: Lord Cooper, Model 9, Artemis, Ullr, 3 Runaways -> I would personally get the Malisaurus Rex, it is good with Cooper 1 and a must if they ever get Cooper 2. Second pick would probably be the ES starter box. Bellhop Porter is also really good with Cooper, but sadly comes with 2 less needed models. Lady Justice: Lady Justice, The Judge, Scales of Justice, 3 Death Marshals -> I actually don't know too much about Lady J, but I think I would get Six Feet Under mostly for the Lone Marshall. Pale Rider and Guild Steward could also be decent pickups. Nekima: Nekima, Blood Hunter, 2 Mature Nephilim, 2 Young Nephilim -> Blood Ritual for sure and then Corrupted Hounds are also very solid after they recently got buffed. Viktorias: 2 Viktoria Chambers, Vanessa Chambers, 3 Ronin -> Not too knowledgable about Vics, but I feel like Loyalty to Coin is a solid box to get and Hodgepodge Fate can also be good in the right situation. Seamus: Seamus, Copycat Killer, Madame Sybelle, 3 Rotten Belles -> I would definitely get High Society and I am actually not too sure what else to suggest. Hats off comes with White Rabbit Co. that can be really good, but it is an expensive box to get for 1 model and 1 alternative master. Misaki: Misaki, Shang, Ototo, 3 Torakage -> I would probably get Silent Strike and Karmic Debt -
A quick question after last nights game. What exactly is considered an action for Black Blood? I had Harata Ngaatoro with his aura up that says that when an enemy fails an opposed duel with 3 or more they suffer one damage. Is this considered an action since the aura originally came from an action, or is it now considered just an aura and won't trigger Black Blood?

Blood Sacrifice needs 1 extra sentence added to be good.

A bit late to the discussion, but I will say that Titanita 1 is actually really strong, you just need to hire her with a lot of solid versatiles instead of her mostly average/below average keyword. And yes, Killjoy badly needs some love. I agree with Maniacal that giving out keywords is probably not the way to go, but something should definitely be done with him as I wouldn't be surprised if he was in contention for worst model in the game. -
So Vernon and Welles has onward that alows them to take a walk action and with the correct trigger they can place instead of move. I assume that this is still a walk action and that they cannot use the place to disengage from melee, but it would be nice to know for sure how it works? Thank you.

Angel Eyes is one of the few models in NVB with Armor Piercing for what it is worth. But no, I also don't tend to use them.

I find it extremely akward that this question has been out for so long with no clear answer from Wyrd

Please Wyrd give Malifaux a patch and fix season

I really don't feel like you can compare having a playable amount of models vs a playable amount of models in other games. Malifaux is a skirmish type game so obviously it is going to be a lot cheaper than other games where you need 10-20 times the models at least. Start comparing model vs model cost and I think you will find Malifaux is no longer cheap. And I also don't agree that one full keyword and one full set of versatiles is more models than you will ever need, but that is irrelevant I guess. -

I feel like the most feasible solution would be for them to offer the enforcers as a single purchase on their website and/or as special orders. I do agree that the current model comes off as greed. I completely love Malifaux like no other game out there, but I do feel like the current prices and bundles are starting to get offensive and I am starting to struggle to introduce this game to new players in good conscience. The Pandora/Colette title box costs 50 dollars for 3 human sized models.... -
Despite what a lot of people might say, I feel like most of the nerfs were very well deserved. It is hard to look at a nerfed master without comparing them to their previous state. Especially when their nerfs seem quite dramatic like for example Nexus 2. But looking at them as an entirely new master I do feel like most of them are still very interesting. I actually feel like the game without Madness is the best balance we have ever seen in Malifaux.
