I think the Prompt nerf was justified but she definitely needed something in return.

I don't disagree with the fact that the change was justified (although the reasoning was mostly due to the power level of another model), the changes that they made though was terrible.

Especially since there were plenty of Obey-like actions in the game at that time, that wasn't broken (I.e: Only one attack per Obey etc.)

Ever since Colette got her Promt nerfed in M2E, she has continuously gotten worse and worse IMO. 

For me it truly feels discouraging to merely give the opponent negative conditions, while they're slowly remove all your models. 

It might also be worth noting that the Duet have a Tactical Action Cassandra will likely borrow.

The rest of the Tactical Actions within the Performer theme seems rather meh.

- Colette doesn't even have one anymore (so much for theme, but I guess redesigning was more important)

The EC is with Ramos in the Dead Mans Hand file.

I think spreading the Gamin out cost wise is to create some differentiation both in Sandeep's summons and the faction in general.  Having every Gamin be 4ss is challenging for design space.  Plus Metal Gamin and Wind Gamin were both under-costed in M2e and got nerfs so they're probably working from a corrected cost position.

I am aware. I just don't get why the Electrical Creation has to go?

The Puke Worm was redesigned so it suddenly became a totem of an yet to be released master.

I get that Ramos is gone, and so is his totem - Removing the Electrical Creation (especially after Arcanist got Hoffman) doesn't really seem to make much sense to me. (I.e why bother making rules for unreleased models and throw aside old ones?) - But yea, I think my point got across, and I don't want to sound more sour than necessary.

Gamins-

 

Yea, after looking at 'em again, I think the pricing seems okay. I just can't understand why the leap is valued so much higher than, say armor 2. But that's just me.

I'm honestly really sad to see the changes that's come to Colette.

The interact queen of Malifaux seems a little meh when it comes to interacting. I realize that Don't Mind Me seemingly is more potent in M3e, but I don't get why she couldn't have something similar to Sandeep, where she enable friendly performers to take an interact action as a bonus action (like he grants concentration bonus actions). A way to make sure this effect doesn't get too powerful could be that when using her 'Fade Away' she also had to discard a scheme marker within 5" (or something like that). 

The gamins - I take it, it's intentional that there is such a difference in the gamins? Not sure if I agree on the pricing though (Wind Gamin for 6, Poison/Metal Gamin for 5, Fire/Ice Gamin  for 4). Do people think the Metal Gamin is better than the ones for 4SS or even on par with the Poison? It seems to me that some of the prices for these models could be adjusted slightly. With that being said - I'd like to hear others and their opinion - I would just prefer seeing 5 different good options, rather than having one gamin be the only one in Sandeeps arsenal.

Not that I'm that familiar with Mei Feng and her playstyle, but it seems to me that thematically the Medical Automatons also ought to have the Foundry keyword. 

Also - although it might be too late to point out, but why is it that the Electrical Creation can't exist anymore? I realize what happened with Ramos and all that, but his totem was the spider after all? I imagine fluff-wise that Hoffman ought to do some alterations that doesn't render the model completely useless.

So, how do you play then?

The models don`t get useless, you know?

It`s just the cards.

 

I´m no fan of the fact that I have to get new cards either, but that`s no reason to not buy models for me.

Im not stating that i wont buy any models, i like the game and also the fact that they do an errata. Im saying that my initiative to cheat fate and buy the le models in the future is weak. I do not understand why they wont update the cards, in my mind its just a matter of adding one line to a pdf. But i could be (and most likely is) wrong.

All official cards seems to get an update, which in my mind make them more likely to get. 

Thats just a pity, but in no way a dealbreaker.

So - no plans to update the le model cards? I just find that unfortunate as i see no point in buying le models in the future, as they may get changed through future errata, Sad.

Ill try again;

Any news on LE models? Do they get an updated card?

By the way - couldnt see anyone commenting on this. But will the updated cards also come to the LE models? Like Colette will there also be a dr. Cooper card?

Hmm. The new miner rules seems great although i dont quite understand them. If the miner uses false claim twice, and none of them are removed - do you then discard two or one of the four?

And for instance if Colette prompt one miner, and at the end of the turn five is active - how many do you discard then?

Sorry mate, but it's more than 3 years they released 2ndE.

I doubt you can find a lot of miniature game that still runs on that old rules / rulebook- that's still in dev.

With that being said, you can either borrow a book and scan it or purchase the wave boxes. 

- If it all comes down to you checking whether or not you still like it, why not just play with the rules written on a piece of paper. 

Printing out cards etc just for one game seems like a hazzle. 

(Sorry if it came out harsh, really not meant to - it's just if you applied this logic to anything else.....)

Hi guys,

I'm assuming that a lot of us have occasionally set on a battle report on YouTube whilst painting.

Personally I consume those quite fast, so I was just wondering if any of you knew any other channels I ought to know about?

I was thinking this thread also could be used as a service for those who might not be familiar with the respective channels.

Personally I like (and know of) these channels.

- Rough Rider Wargaming - Mostly Malifaux, with battle reports and tactica. Long videos.

- Wargaming for Fun - Were active for a while, been silent for some time though. Long videos.

- Mo11usq - Battle reports and tactica. Short videos.

- Encounter Wargaming - Recently started. Have one report, some painting building tutorials. Long video

- Guerilla Wargaming - Occasionally a report on fridays, although it's been quite a while since the last. Long videos.

- Btbplays - Haven't been active for two months, but have a lot of battle reports. Long and short videos.

If you happen to know anyone I've neclected, please let me know and I will add them asap!

Hi guys!

First of all I'd like to point out, that I really respect the fact that Wyrd is allowing second-hand sales on their own forum.

- Some other companies might have banned stuff like this, but not Wyrd! 

As I was browsing through the trading forum, I came up with an idea that hopefully could make it a lot easier to navigate.

As of now, only a small amount of the threads include their "region" in the title. How about adding to the 'Read this: Trading Forum' thread a rule where people ought to say where they live.

So the title would indicate, what is being sold or looked for, whilst also with a country-code, so you can see where it's from. 

This, I think, would make the site a lot easier to use, and perhaps even attract more traffic to the site, which I consider to be a win.

Any thoughts?

Great public service.

Too bad they don't offer any form for free shipping.

Buying from Europe could get real expensive quick :/

The bit you used for pinning the birds to the rocks.

Do they come in the boxset, or did you make those yourself?

It means Armor can't reduce dmg below 1. If a model with min dmg 1 hits a model with Armor +# then unless there is another special rule, the model with armor will always take at least 1 dmg.

Makes perfect sense, and it's also the way we've played it.

But then.. It's not to a minimum of 1, it's 0.

Hi,

As I was looking at my cards i stumbled across the wording of Armor.

Say you have Armor +1 and you get hit by an attack that does One damage.

Do you then take One or no damage?

The wording says it reduced damage by One, to a min of One. 

doesnt that mean that it always reduce it by One? 

Love the idea with the Dove flying out of the hat!

looking forward to see How you paint the "magic"

All entries are looking great! Really adds something with the levitation on the battlefield.

May I suggest some railing on the walkways, or perhaps beams with fishing nets that are being dried?

The nets should be able to cover large bits, but may be harder to pull off.

Some crates, torches / braziers even or what the others suggested.

Possibly a feeding area to some farm animals? With a small shack, some fences and possibly large feeding trays.
