the tick

Awesome. Thanks for posting that.

Even with "Proper Care" Ulix still needs the Slop Hauler in my opinion. If you can swing the right triggers then pigs can self heal-ish....but I'd still rate the Slop Hauler as a must have for Ulix. Also, I don't have the Lightning Bugs yet. I'm guessing from what I've heard and read that their healing is a trigger on their Attack? Anybody mind telling me how that trigger works?

Haven't seen the alternate yet (hoping they come in the Banjonistas my shop is holding me), but the 2 that come in the box weren't that bad compared to other Gremlin models. I don't remember any tricky alignment or fiddly part issues.

I'm still struggling to find my feet with the faction (and the game) so I'm not really sure what I was looking for with the Wave 5 goodies with Gremlins. I was disappointed that nothing seemed directed as an in faction hire for Brewmaster (who is a master I REALLY want to try). So I'm hopeful that the master upgrades will give my small stable of masters some fun and useful new play changes. The last few weeks have been just absolutely dour over here in the Gremlin faction forum.

Maybe an upgrade for Zipp that let's him summon Bayou Gremlins. As in the crew of the airship is being called into battle. I'm imagining the Gremlins swinging in on ropes from Zipp's airship. Some of course are willing and others are encouraged. 3 SS Battle Stations (1) "Send 'Em In!": (Ca: 5 / TN: 14 / Rg: 6) Summon a Bayou Gremlin. The summoned Gremlin immediately takes 2 damage. Not that we need another summoner in faction, but for themes sake?

I want there to be a dual faction Grem-Resser Master so bad I can't see straight!

Thanks to both of you!

Was trying to teach my brother Malifaux and he came up with a question I couldn't answer. He was playing the Titania crew box and had a few instances where he wanted to be in base-to-base (or close to it) to preform a (0) action and THEN perform attacks. So the question is: must the two (1) AP Attack Actions resulting from a Charge Action be resolved BEFORE performing a (0)? My thinking is that the Attack Actions are part of the Charge and so must be fully resolved before other Actions can be declared. But I wasn't 100% on this so I'm coming to the community for clarification.

+1 This. +1 Also this.

How would the Ripples of Fate Ulix vignette work into an upgrade? Maybe some form of swampfiend synergy/summoning for Ulix? Could make the gators relevant. If he's breeding better pigs to fight the Bunyip (or whatever they're called) maybe an upgrade that buffs pigs in an aura? I like the idea of a reworded Husbandry that would allow summoning Wild Boars too. What about a pig Obey? I know he's already got the prod and obeying a model with a 1 AP charge could have balance concerns but I see some design space for that option: reduce the charge range of an obeyed model, high TN or suited, only Ht 1 or 2 pigs, etc. I'm really excited for to see the final upgrades, but also trying to temper my expectations.

Maybe Nico will lose his other leg in the fight and Lady J will get smacked so hard in the head she regains her sight.

I like the Vallejo Game Color and Model Color lines for normal paints. The GW washes (Nuln Oil and the like) have been super useful as well as one of their new "technical" that's just an easy way to add the vert de gris effect to copper. Secret Weapons also makes a cool mix of dry pigments to use for other effects. YMMV. Edit: For value, I think your biggest money maker is using a wet pallet. Easy to make and helps reduce wasted paint.

LOVE the concept art and I'm sure the models will be amazing! Less than thrilled about the master chosen, but they can't please everybody right? Kind of want a bunch of cats to proxy as piglets for Ulix to summon.

You shouldn't need to pin anything. Though they are frail looking for sure. If you use an ABS cement ( like Plastruct Plastic Weld) that literally"melts" the plastic together then the tiny bonding surfaces aren't an issue. I've found this glue also helps fill gaps pretty well. As someone else noted... BE CAREFUL assembling the Iron Skeeters. That control stick is a pain if you do it in the wrong order!

He's one of the leaders in The Other Side, Wyrd's upcoming game.

I'll also add a vote for Zipp as a second master. I started with Ulix and went for Zipp second. Zipp is simultaneously hilarious and frustrating for both you and your opponent. The models he comes with work well together too. Good value in the Sky Pirates box.

In this episode I heard a reference for a diagram showing how Zipp's smoke markers were used. I can't find a link to this, does anybody know where to find this?

I like the terrain articles. How about a mini-series for a specific piece of terrain? I now the semi-monthly nature of the publication might be an issue, but an article in two or three issues of Chronicles detailing the building of a particularly ornate house/building or something might help us weekend-hobby-warriors follow along? The longer format could also make it easier to show more detailed steps and maybe even a printable template to use for certain steps? And then at the article conclusion a scenario or piece of fluff surrounding what we just built.

*facepalm* Thanks! I should have been able to find that myself I suppose. They sort of have a Frankenstein's Monster meets Hulk vibe going on?

Where are people seeing the sculpts for these guys? Are there pictures from Adepticon floating around or something like that?

My local shop got them in today. His distributor had them mid-week. But it looks like some online stores are still listing then as pre-order? So I guess it depends where you're looking, I might be lucky but I was able to get them today.

Great resource! Thanks for all the work putting this together. If I wasn't a broke @$$ grad student I'd gladly contribute to your Patrion account.

Anybody know of a regular Malifaux game day in Birmingham? I'll be there for a month and was hoping to get some games in while in the area.

They also hand out poison on a trigger in melee. Not super-duper useful, but still a pseudo synergy.

I got into Gremlins (and Malifaux in general) with Ulix. I haven't expanded to other masters yet but I'll echo what one comment said about Ulix. He does require quite a few models (mostly pigs) to play effectively: at least 2 boxes of piglets, war pig, maybe Gracie or The Sow. You might end up using a lot of these pigs with other Gremlin masters, but his niche is pretty specific. Having said that he is a TON of fun. My local meta has quite a few people that regularly kick my teeth in with WP duels (which pigs are NOT going to win......EVER!!) but a board full of pigs is just a beautiful, hilarious sight to behold. Fun is usually had by all.
