Power Loop is basically a trap. Very few models benefit enough from it to merit spending AP on it. Machine Puppet or attaching upgrades is what you want to spend 90% of your ap on.

Hoffman + Emissary + Peacekeeper + Langston.

Make power loop turn 1 and they all have Def 6 WP 6 Mi 7 till the end of turn 2

Just now, icebreaker said:

it's ignoring all kinds of damage reductions

Yep

One of Hoffman's key elements is Power loop condition.

It doesn't work properly on cyborgs. Moreover, we have to spend full activation of master to make 3 cyborgs.

I think that basic Hoffman + ignore ignore armor + (0) 6" placement + extra Armor is stronger

I think that taking Cyborg upgrades for Hoffman is worse than bring construct based army.

 I think that this question must be in FAQ.

Many players in my community think that actions like Flurry/Rapid fire/Furious casting doesn't require an initial target and I failed to change their opinion.
 

So the question is "Does flurry target a specific model?"

If yes - then all 3 attacks only to Trixie.
If no - she can change a target.

Some of my fellow players think that Flurry doesn't choose target, because it's not written on it.

"...this model may make 3 Ml Attack Actions with an AP cost of 1 against a single target."

There sure seems to be word target in there. There is no rule saying only Attack actions have targets, many tactical actions have them as well. Rules are very clear about target being one of the things you need to declare when you declare an action.

I personally think it's rather obvious you have to take the attack actions from Flurry against the target you declared. Assuming otherwise would lead to anarchy with people taking their charge attacks against anything they feel like and probably doing something even more silly as well.

Thanks, I agree with your clarification =)

This is true, but upon then declaring the first (1) ap atk action against Trix, you would be choosing a target.

As this goes, I would say the first action could be deflected to another target, but still remaining attacks would continue to target Trix.

 

"...this model may make 3 Ml Attack Actions with an AP cost of 1 against a single target."

But wouldn't this portion just be the resolved effect of completing the flurry action.  The target still has not been selected until the MI atk action is selected.

It must be LEGAL target. The only legal target for this attack is Trixie

A model declares Flurry on Trixiebelle .
Trixiebelle uses "Don't fight over me boys" to change the target for the first attack action.

Where must other 2 attacks be directed - to Trixiebelle  or to a new target?

Perdita has ill blood with Sonnia so no Witch hunters and Family in one crew!
Brutal effigy and brutal emissary can't be taken in same crew, they are the same being!
Von Schill has issues with General Governer, no Freikorps mercenaries!

The list can be continued endlesly. Look at entire Outcast faction.
Backstory is backstory, rules are rules. You don't have to mix them.

I think that in Malifaux 3.0 McMourning will be removed from Guild (with Lucius and Mc Cabe).
Until that we can use him without any concerns.

What is your excuse to play the good doctor in guild after the latest fluff? He is easily my favorite master, but choosing him now just seems so wrong now. Damn..

Why should we have any?

The start of the campaign will be on 9 September

To add about Sonnia.

I played her 3 times vs unskilled players.
I said multiple times that she is dangerous, that she generates many blasts and her Ca is hard to deny.

2 of them were wiped out on turn 2, Ramos crew was wiped out on turn 3.

Now I don't play Sonnia with them.

Other players rarely give me opportunity to kill something on turn 1. They hide, they try not to group up and try to lock her in combat.
When I play vs them I usually don't stand within 10" of enemy to summon stalkers.

Also I spend 2 cards to get CA 9 or Def 6 and don't have spare cards to summon Stalkers.

I've seen good Sonnia players run Re-incarnate and use it to great effect, getting 3-5 stalkers most games. It was rare for her to not be killing things turn one. her denial is largely death from afar, but its pretty hard to avoid it whilst still trying to score most of strats. (Flame wall is fairly decent denial as well). She does excel at removing most cheap scheme running models, where she seems to struggle is against "elite" opponents, where she would rather concentrated damage rather than just damaging the whole field a bit. 

Maybe we play different Sonnias =)

You can win him in Wyrd sponsored events.

As for me, Sonnia doesn't need summon upgrade.
We have to build the list accoarding to the pros and cons of masters.

 Sonnia doesn't have enough resourses to summon Stalkers and usually has to spend precious action to ger into 10' summon range

Everybody is at the other side of the wall? totem walks to the wall. Sonnia chain activates. Blasts of her own totem with a tome. Everybody is on fire now and a new totem will be born soon. Chain activation is a bag of tricks to Sonnia. If only watchers were witch hunters...

You still need LOS and range for chain activation. 

 Yep

Does it specifically state that you can do it outside of LoS?!

1 minute ago, Ludvig said:

LoS is needed for every action or ability that summons so you'll need LoS to where you summon it.

Unless stated otherwise =)

21 minutes ago, Ludvig said:

I'm not sure if it's free or requires resources since I onl have the writeups to go from but just the dampening ability on the totem can make a difference.

Free. No resourses. No LOS needed.
If enemy model with burning dies, you can summon a totem.

Kill something, chain activate totem, go base to base to enemy summoner.

Priceless.

Sonnia kills. If your opponent has no models, he can't get points =)

Also, her new upgrade, which allows her to summon a totem is great.

There is one in the new plastic box? Plus there's already an alt handler and I am struggling to fit in more than one in a list so an extra one seems kind of superfluous.

Both handlers in the box are female

In Semptember a campaign will be started in Odessa, Southern Legion club (Lev Tolstoy str, 28).

Guild + Outcast mercanaries vs Neverborn + Gremlins
The players from other factions can join one of the sides of the conflict.

To win each fraction must conquer 3 key locations on a campaign map.

For each game a player can choose a 50 SS crew.
If any Rare 1 character is killed during game, his fate will be desided by a Fate deck (10+  survives, otherwise killed/wounded and can't be taken in further games).
That's why masters/henchmen/unique enforcers will be divided between players before campaign starts.

The games can be played in club (on Saturdays/Sundays) or elsewhere (if both players agree).
