Shock & Awe

I'm planning on a big month... which I may miss on some of... but we'll see I guess! 

I'm pledging: 

Widow Weaver - 8SS

Will 'o Wisps x 3 - 9SS

Yasunori - 13SS 

Hannah - 10SS

Young Nephilim x2 - 12SS

The Illuminated x1 - 7SS

Black Blood Shamans x 2 - 14SS 

for a grand total of 73SS 

I'm also hoping to get cracking on my Pandora set... but that may be getting overly ambitious... she may have to wait till July.

I've looked around a bit for an answer to this, but haven't been able to find one so I thought I'd hand it over to the pros. 

If an obey master/henchmen (Zoraida, Vasilisa, Perdita, etc.) obey a NON soul stone using model (enforcer, minion, etc.) can they burn a stone to add a suit into the obey action? 

For instance, could Zoraida obey the Mysterious Emissary to perform Land's Child and then burn a stone to add the mask into the obeyed action?

It's possible to have an ability add a suit to a stat, but it is explicit when it says so. An example would be Ototo's Enrage. Perdita's Point Blank isn't as clear, and I could see it being ruled as either, though I'd be of the opinion the stays.

This is interesting to consider... could it also be applied to Misaki then when Risky Ventures is applied? The ruling on wether she got the plus ? I wouldn't be confident arguing either way to be honest.

Thanks, man. I had a feeling that was what the answer would be, but I wanted to be sure. So I just have to make sure I pop him out with a viable target or let the enemy do the dirty work for me. 

Thanks again.

So, I beast bombed Hannah into Pandora's aura of pain yesterday and an interesting point came up. 

Hannah's nether flux forces enemy models to ignore any suits "associated" with their CA, SH, and ML stats. 

My opponent used the zero action, Delight in Despair, from the Depression upgrade to add the suit of a discarded card to the remainder of their duels for the turn. Essentially this is building a crow into each attack (which, if you've played Voices Dora, you know where that is going). 

My question is, could Nether Flux cancel that out? Or would this only affect suits written on the card? 

So, I finally got my Carver model (who will serve as Killjoy for all intents and purposes) and I have a quick question. 

I understand that "Blood Price" requires Killjoy to charge if there is a legal target available so long as he's not engaged. 

If Tara were to use "Faces in the Void" and place Killjoy in B2B, he can't charge her, can he? Assuming the charge makes all models in range an "enemy", they are in base to base, so he would technically be engaged with her when he decided to charge. Or is the idea that she's a friendly model until he's charged her, and therefore not technically engaged. 

I'm just wondering how careful I have to be with when or how I pop him out. I'd love to beast bomb him, but I want to make sure he's not gonna come eat my face when I do. 

@Rikk - That supply wagon is boss!  I love all the little details (meat on the meat hook, whiskey barrels, all of it!) Well done. 

@Phinn - Beautiful effigy, and I agree with Misterfinn, your stitched are amazing. I love the colors! 

@bedjy - I really like your wrath. All the detail work is really beautiful, and the colors really pop.

@Burnin' Coal - Thanks for the kind words, and, man those bases are amazing. The mossy feel to them is really nice. I definitely don’t have the patience for that kind of work. Great artistic eye as well, to see that in your head and make it come out so well. Really impressed with all your work.

@Chou - looks great man! I really like the blue. He’ll be on my table next month, so I have something to aspire to.

@Franchute - your mage, and that base, are really nicely done. I love the zombie too... but isn't that a Necropunk... not a Punk Zombie? I don't play ressers, but I've been chopped up by them before. All the small detail work is really impressive. I like your photo style, personally, but this is coming from a man who still uses his phone for photos an can’t stick to one background (I can’t figure out if I like white or black more), so my word may not be the best…. still, I like it! 

@PetitDalek - The wendigo looks great. I love the base and the blueish green hue you’ve managed on him. 

@Purple Mist - I really like her skin, and (it may be the lighting) but her tongue looks black-ish, which is cool. I really like the overall feel of the mini.

@wobbly_goggy - Great models! I love that bushwhacker, as a whole piece with the base, he’s amazing! What is that green foliage? That makes that piece IMO. 

@Aa7 - I like the purple/blue color combo on Raspy. Carlos’s flames look really good too.

First May model done, Vintage Sonnia for 15SS. Really tried to work the 'fire' theme, and my first attempt at wet blending. I think it came out well for a first shot! 

Now, on to the next! 

@Monkeyfist - I love your weaver, the pastels are amazing. She's on my docket for next month... now I have another high bar to aim for!

@Boomstick - That's a lot of plastic to paint I'm intrigued to see how they all come out.

@Franchute - Your Raspy is beautiful. I really like her eyes, and that base is really nice.

@Caedrus - Simple they may be, but they still look great. I've got those in the docket down the road... should be an easy 18SS.

May Goals: 

Vintage Sonnia 15SS (pushed back from last month)

Scion of the Void 8SS 

Patti Ramone 7SS 

(possibly) Emeline Bellerose 8SS 

Grand total of 38SS 

I tried to upload a picture but the upload is being wonky... I'll get to it later.

The executioner.  Slashy fun! 

@Boomstick I love all of it!  Awesome!

I'm assuming now that the Creature Feature is over, I can claim my model for this month. 

Mature Nephilim done for 11SS, bringing me to 34SS for this month so far (Francisco 8SS, Misaki 15SS, and Mature for 11). I will have the stitched together done by tomorrow.

@Caedrus I love how vibrant your colors are. Von Schill's blue and orange/red mix is really cool, and the green on Nicodem is very... Seamus I almost want to say. It's awesome! 

@Kimberly @Kai, so, wait, do I get special consideration if I am also currently a ‘teachy’ one?

@Purple Mist congrats on winning the raffle in Creature Feature!

Honestly I was expecting to see more people from MPC taking part to "The Creature Competition". I was also surprised to see more models from other ranges/companies. But the easely predictable presence of GW models, ther are more minis from Kinghdom Death Monster 1.5.

I was surprised by that too, but I think it depends on painting processes for people and what models they have available. 

For me, I actually had to jump my planned painting order by A LOT to get to a model that qualified as a 'creature'. 

For some, they may not have had a 'creature' lying around to paint, or simply weren't inspired to paint that particular model at the time.

Saying all this, I will submit my creature in lieu of Vintage Sonnia this month. She had to get put off so I could paint my beastie. 

Now I just have to finish up those stitched...

I can confirm both Purple Mist and H4ml3t have completed models. 

(Jumps up and down) Hey! What about me teacher! I did my homework, too! 👨‍🎨
