Rest assured, a lot of things in the game can bypass the riders defenses. Things that ignore triggers, ignore armor reduction, blast damage, pulses and auras. 10 wounds without soulstone use only gets you so far. They become very resilient late game but there are answers to any type of defence in this game.

That is a huge thing. An experienced player will not position so that you can hit half of his crew. Though I will not argue that rasputina is not strong.

Blasts are already great offense since it bypasses a lot of defenses. The things that protect against blasts are spreading out and armor. Placing blasts within 12" almost completely negates the ability to position/defend against it. A circkle with a radius of 12" is huge. 8" is still plenty and still makes it hard for the opponent to position safely.

1. So by your definition the mechanical rider is not a rider as she costs 12ss? 😛 2. I haven't faced Misaki so I can't truly judge this, though I think Misaki wave 5 initially was a bit over the top (though I won't argue that there aren't a lot of really strong stuff out there, looking at you nicodem with your stable of kentauroi). I think it is still very strong, and I also think she is designed as a very risky very aggressive model and I think that is represented well in how she's turned out. 3. Kentauroi are very good, don't get me wrong, but how are they riderlike (wk6, cg10 ?, cause the lone marshal and mounted guard also have this, it is quite general for mounted models) since they lack the scaling mechanic. And they're definitely no yasunori :).

I've finished jury last month. I used black thinned down a bit more than usual and tried to do really light movement with a very fine tip. I also added some detail with the colored first letter.

Yeah, definetly. Every mechanic has counterplay. Its also just a 4 inch aura so pushing him out of positon. Even placing a big based model in between blocks the aura. The crew operates fine without the synnergies though.

I've played three games yesterday against @whodares and i was pretty pleased with results. I've played the following list: Judge -debt to the guild Jury Death marshal recruiter Brutal effigy I won all of the 3 games and the crew worked really well. I was surprised with all of the synnergy between these models. Jury is just such a solid model at 8 stones. She does so many different things. With 5 stones i was also surprised by the judges resillience. Especially with jury and effigy heals as well as htk aura. Conclusion: this may not be the most optimal crew but it is thematic and has a lot of synnergy, so it is really fun and straight forward to play.

@Chou Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it! I would disagree that it is crazy skill. It is actually not as hard as it looks. Though I agree it takes a bit of practice to go from "just" coloring and highlighting a model and to go to some free-hand work. I guess it is just a lot of practice and trial and error. If you could see all the failed attempts at free-hand ... 😛 It's actually a pattern that repeats itself and it gives a really awesome effect when you look at it from a distance.

Yeah I did and it is pretty amazing. I did go for another style, and the goal is to use very bright colors.

Gracias amigo

Pretty sure llc is non leader. Didnt think of that. Thx

Hey guys, the 22nd of april there is a malifaux event and this time I'm trying to bust out my lady justice crew. Still need to finish some models, and one of them is abuela ortega. I've had the idea (I'm sure I'm not the only one) to paint a dia de los muertos crew after I saw the domadores de cadaveres. Abuela is up first. Here's my WIP, let me know what you guys think.

I'm playing my first henchman hardcore games next week at an event. I'm thinking of running Judge + recruiter + death marshal + effigy. My model pool is quite limited: Lady J box Executioner Riflemen DM recruiter Lone marshal Effigy Abuela Emissary Jury Questions: 1. What upgrades would you guys run? Badge of office seems good because of ETL, but it is also quite expensive. 2. What crew would you guys field based on my model pool? I think the recruiter does work because of the hard to kill aura, and the death marshal can come in clutch by burrying someting important.

What he said 😀

@Viruk hope your daughter recovers well. I admire that you still had the energy to paint. I agree in that painting can calm you down and slows down time.

Thanks. It might not show but at some points the line is a bit thick.

Hello guys, I've had a really busy month (work and personal). So I didn't even finish my resser models I almost finished in February. But I did paint Jury (8ss) cause I'll use her in an upcoming game. I'm especially pleased with how the book turned out. I'm also happy with the hair color, as it is a bit different from what I usually do. I'll still clean up the face and the golden line on the cloak as I now noticed it was a bit sloppy. Total = 8ss
