Nice assumption. But if you read the topic you may know that gremlins don't get aggressive models for years and old one get nerfed. Looks like even developers these days don't clearly know what our faction road is - its clearly seen at book 5.

It has 2 sides - with nerfed hard hitters many masters with bunch of high df-wp+armor/incorporeal/other machanics models will be just "tanking" all the game and refuse to die.

Hope we will never be in that state like orcs in different systems of that company. When i was choosing between Malifaux and that game system i choose Malifasux because of having balance and dont having unplayable/horrible models. Hope that not only cosmetical improvements like ss cost change but tottaly rework will be held to realy uncompetetive models and masters. And i still consider Brewmaster as one of the weakest masters in a game and dont understand why its not being reworked.

And a few more words about nerfs. Burt and McTawish was too cool as mercs so they get nerfed (i'm not against ss cost of Burt, but the way it was is definetely NO for me). So Burt shines with Nellie even better that he is at gremlins. So isn't it the way to cuddle Nellie? Or write the story about Burt was traveling with Nellie, guarding her with his life and then she wrote the article about aggresive green monkey with a gerenade? Or that he was hired by guild for dirty job, risked his live for a year and get kicked with no salary paid? And now he is hating guild so he can not be hired by guild like good old Lazarus. McTawish is good merc? Ok, remove the merc keyword. It wont hurt Gremlins and old granny Z still will hire him as a swampfiend. About Lenny. Lets imagine that Wyrd releases nice, amazing, handsome and shiny governor model. He will be handsome Ht3 man, with Df 1(because true lord stays behind the dirty fights), Wp 4 (he is a way to concentrated on a paper job so he dont look on whats going on on the battlefield), will be enforcer, cost 9 ss and will have hard to wound as defence mechanics. He will have -1 damage reduction aura, giving rams to non-master guildies in a 3" and have poor ml attack with nearly useless trigger. As (1) he can toss friendly guildie ht2 for 10", and can heal 1/2/3 for 9+. What an amazing leader will have the guild fraction. Oh how will be the players happy. I can imagine those happy dozens of topics with love for the best guild support model. I think many our problems are in our low poppulation, Low population fraction -> less players -> less love -> even less popular fraction and so it goes on. No one will say "NO" if there will be no players. PS: for being right understood - i love gremlins and Malifaux. I own all gremlin models except Zoraida crew and wave 5 not released models. 90-95% of models are painted with love. I just dont want to have big box with the never used models because they were killed or dont have any place in any crew.

Is there any way to share ideas of model concepts with developers? Or only way to contact is starting new topic in forum?

When i started to play gremlins i thought the same. I bought Ophelia+Somer, Burt Jebsen and could gave nice ammount of damage with our few glass cannons. But time passes and when we got our last dumb luck+reckless hard hitter? Book 4?Book 5? (last amazing guys i remember where swinecursed but its a waterdrop in the sea). We are loosing reckless, we are loosing dumb luck, our key beaters getting worse because we are loosing the firepower race - other factions having accsess to 7 wp/def models with armor, anti armor ignoring and lots of damage reduction stuff, getting more and more hard hitters, tanks and specialists. Enemy masters getting upgrades that amazingly changing their playstyle - look at Rasputina or Kolloddi - how flexible their gameplay can be melee, ranged, summoning, doing lots of stuff. And when im watching gremlins im feeling that time is stoped and nothing happens and my opponents is rasinig "value" from soulstone-hiring pool. As personaly for me it's even not funny. Stuffed piglets gave me some turn 1-2 security from enemy master or hardhitters that could win some time while they will come and will kill me. Lenny and rooster where tottaly killed. Francois, Burt, McTawish - but wait, these models are the spirit of the gremlin fraction "I always though of Gremlins as one of the most damaging factions out there, with lots of high damaging attacks that let models kill above their points cost and be hard to defend against short of trying to kill the squishy model first." and they got nerfed. Yeah, Raphael buff and survivors is amazing; Golem, Mancha and mechporkchop is fine but they are still too situative; moon shinobi, wild boars and bushwhakers are just cosmetic and donth change the situation. In my oppinion we are just loosing the war of number - 5 def or 5 wp in gg18 is trash, hard hitters with 5-6 ml/sh are worse then other fraction rivals. We are getting models that are fine but they are not improving something or changing something. Yeah Ophelia got some love, Zipp is full of love, yes, Wong is nice. But when Sommer will get something except nerfs? When Ulix will have some gameplay changes? When bremaster won't hit the #1 of the worst Malifaux masters. I have nearly all gremlin models except Zoraida and 90% of them are painted. And i can take like half of models and took on the shelf because we have too poor choise of AMAZING models and need a 1/2/3 core models for each master and others are just loosing with soulstone cost value.

So why not to use a pig with saddle for this. She will give you a taxi and not 4df 1wp. Dont know, may be you have control meta or you found Zen with him. I'm strugling of his squishiness and people know that you need to kill/move Wesley first. After playing Somer/Wong when i play with Brewmaster i feel like i play henchman instead of master. I dont rely on bubble, but as for me having just swill, binge obey is not enough for master without def trigger. After playing Somer im feeling very disapointed and sometimes it looks like single performer can do more stuff then Brew. If he had swill/bubble last till next model activation may be it will feel better. These days im playing lots of Brew and im very upset with limited stuff he is offering. And yes i've read lots of guides, bought full model list for him and still i feel very depressive when picking him. I'm realizing how much easier it can be with Somer/Wong/Zipp and little bit curios why this state of things is going. It's not about making him overpowered, its about making him balanced.

Hello! So it has been pretty lots of time since gg18 was released and we get lots of nerfs of last eratas and get no love instead. So i think we need to be a little more vocal to be heard and discus our worst models and get some attention to them. Let me start: - dead Lenny. General governor in a book 5 he became the worst our "high-cost model" and just a useless 9 soulstones that cant offet anything for his price. - Pigapult. with gg18 and stuffed piglets cuddle (it was funny to play it in gg17, not to competetive but fun) it become nearly useless in gg18 and have near 0 uses (yeah, it can be taken for ours, but is it worth it). - lovely assistant. near the worst totem in our faction. look how good are old cranky or student of conflict and look at her. you cant watch at her without tears in your eyes. - McTawish. Yes, it costs 12 for other factions, but realy 11 stones for him in gremlins? i think its very NOT cool. - roosters. so just a dead pieces on a shelf. after a killing model with cuddles may be it need some love? i dont think that its fair that one day your nice model can become complete junk. - bushwhakers. yes, they become cheaper but i dont think their main problem was cost. selfhurting trigger and poor damage track cant be removed just making model cost less. - glutonny. #1 useles model. i can unedrstand if he can cost 4-5ss and be played at scheme-heavy pools, but 8ss for...nothing? - overall squishiness of most of our 7ss+ models. GG18 bring to all factions more firepower and killing stuff and on this killing-oriented year its very uncomfortable to die of random attack actions that hit your model with min 6. - brewmaster. i dont realy belive that new 3 models will change the current state. can you name some masters that are feeling worse nowdays? - ITS ONLY MY IMO: in gg 18 we are loosing the world firepower race. yeah, mah and ophelia got 3 nice upgrades but i have feeling that we got no love nowdays and moving to road of the fun and uncompetetive faction. im looking on amazing models and upgrades that other fractions get and on flying piglets or Sommer upgrades, back to the brilliant models and then on brewmaster. and it becomes sad for me. So im calling you not for a revolt but for a discussion and being more vocal - lets discuss our bad, unplayable, cuddled, overcosted models and masters and lend our ideas. If not us - who will talk about this?

"New expansion" it's somethig like third edition or i'm getting wrong?

Burt Jebsen is not just a melee beater. He can have infinite shooting on triger, can be tanky when have some friend near him and have nice tactical action that pulls everything to target. I bought Ophelia and Somer when i started playing Malifaux and didnt gave her a single shot - can't understand why do we need her when we have Somer or Wong or Zipp. She is like scheming and shooting but i dont see any reasons to pick her.

Wong totem is terrible, Mah totem is not a must have, Ulix totem is situative. And dont forget about student of conflict.

Just finished painting him and im curios where can i put this 8ss piece of music. Only one idea - its good vs. Colette, Titania or other marker-heavy masters.

I hope its alt McTawish. Hate original human model - such an adorable huge gator and that stincky drunkard. Still its neal last my unpainted model - i dont want to see that ugly human in my games.

Not every community is proxie-friendly so its 50/50.

Just dont start play gremlins as Brewmaster. If I managed resources that you have i'd bought box of bayou gremlins+slop haulers for making your games more comfortable with Somer and Ophelia. I see 2 very nice and fun ways to get in gremlin gameplay: Ophelia and her crewbox (totems, Franc, Raphael), wave 5 upgrades, 1-2 slops, Burt, Fingers for deploy/marker schemes - its nice core and you will feel what to add next. Somer with 3 bayous(and better to have at least 3 more for summon), 1-2 slops, totems, Burt, Franc, Raphael, Fingers for shemes. Just dont start with Brewmaster if you are pretty new player - it can be not comfortable to play with him and too many looses on start. Cant even imagine how you could get 2 boxes in one time (but i have 2 his boxes as well )

Brewmaster with couple of Tanuki? Here was the topic about "dirty" combo "Tanukipult":

I'm hoping some day Ulix can become more summone-styled like other summoners. Look at resurectionists summoners - they can summon HUUUUGE model list. Why Ulix cant summon more models? Example: Wild boars - its strange that these guys aren't on board yet. Bayou gators - there are thouthands of crocodile farms around the world, why cant alpha-male Ulix make his own farm? Roosters - they can have second life, ostrich farms are too all around the globe, why cant Ulix become a little more businessman and summon that huge nice Rooster which were killed by one of eratas? 50mm pigs - they can be summoned like Teddy or Ice Golem - you need 12-13 masks, it happens not often, but you can summon Gracie, Sow, Mechporkchop. Some upgrades manipulations like attaching Saddle/One Pig against the world on summoned pigs. Ulix for me looking like pure summoner and im a little bit confused why Wyrd dont move him in this way. We have Ramos, Kirai, Hamelin, Nicodem and they can summon half of the fraction and everything working fine. Im in love with summoning gameplay (as main master is Somer im not leaving home without 9-12 bayou gremlins) and im hoping to see pure summon-oriented master in Gremlins.

i dont like the model at all. she is not gremlin and she is uglier that half of resser rotten girls. if i will buy her i will change head and give her to painter to make conversions of her for young lady looking. her avatar is amazing buy it costs like a half of neverborn fraction+cant be played as master. avatar is nice. ijust dont want to play model that i dont like visualy. its like i was looking to ressers and they all are gore and rotten and its pretty disgusting to me.

What neverborn models Zoraida needs in Gremlins? Wisps, waldgeists, nurse? How she feels in Gremlins? Not too weak compairing to Neverborns? PS: She is only gremlin master i dont have and her realy ugly look and too much neverbornish stops me from immmidiately buying her. But voodoo doll is so cute and lots of interesting mechanics looking sweet.

Wong+2xSwinecursed+glowy Burt/McTawith/other tough guy+Sammy with Ooo Glowy+Taxidermist+Old Cranky may help. Magical swinecurseds and Burt ot another beater will melt most models. Sammy will held one Limited Upgrade for Wong so he can take Gremlins Luck and Explosive Solutions. Also Taxidermist for stealing enemy cosrps markers and making them stuffed piglets. Old cranky for +1 wp to everyone. And i didnt tried but gremlin mates saying that Brewmaster feels okay to play agains ressers.

Imo they will be worth taking sometimes if they will be 4ss/atack on friendly fail will not hurt them/reckless/frendly fail atack will be focused. In all other situations we have way better 4-5ss models.

Last time played with Hoffman with Somer summoning bayous each turn and throwing 1-2 in the bubble to tie up all the models and outactivating them. They came turn 2 to the center and stayed there till end of the game.

Reading cards McTawish+Sparks looking great to deal with def stance/focus taking-sharing.

coordinate with local arcanist mate to buy box for 50/50?

So will it work with Somer Rams aura?:D
