Transmortis is complete! The final 3 Von Schtook, Research Assistant and Undergraduate. Paint scheme inspired by @Viruk @Caedrus brings my total for November to 39ss Schtook 15, Research Assistant 2, Undergraduate 6, Dead Rider 11 and Rotten Belle 5

@TeaCrusader Your painting is awesome, you should join the monthly painting challenge in 2020.

@misterfinn Thanks, and good luck with your surgery, hope it all goes well and your back at the painting table swiftly

The way I play it is you can do the 'on your heels' trigger without attaching a cursed upgrade to the guilty. My reasoning is that The Guilty is never an actually an enemy model but you 'may treat' it as one for the purposes of actions, abilities and triggers. So you may treat it as one for just the purposes of the trigger. That's the way i read it anyway, the wording seems to give the player the choice as and when to treat the guilty as an enemy. I think if you have to attach a cursed upgrade to the guilty it would make the ability quite crappy as the guilty would be staggered every turn and less useful as an anchor point. In fact I probably wouldn't bother doing it if that was the case

@Ogid Your right about not using upgrades for erratas as it would benefit crews who use them (jack would love it ) but I think the best way of doing it is just to release the new errata cards for people to print themselves or buy from WGV. Having extra cards on the table that weren't upgrades but had changes on them I think would get confusing I'm personally one of those people who needs the proper shiny real card so in M2E I usually just ordered from WGV every Jan. Its not cheap or ideal but as it was only once a year I didn't mind to much What I'd love to see is a way for us to order cards through our LGS, so those of us in Europe/Australia etc coudl get them without paying the stupid postage/import costs

@Caedrus love you rotten harvest entry!! What resin did you use for the water?

Mine was 07 - Rotten Belle for 5ss

And hence forth he was known as Matt 23. Welcome

Oh yeah I agree that would all be too much with a summon and obey as well, what I meant is I'd be happy to lose some of her tanky/beater stuff for her to fill more of a Vasilisa style role

Yeah your right, although maybe Sybelle could have something like her 2e call belle ability. I was sad she lost that

I think Scarlet Temptation should be a 2" aura again. Not sure why they made it smaller, especially as Sybelle's range is 2" That would make the belles more useful too Sybelle as she stands should probably cost 8 stones although I'd be happier if she stayed at 10 but got a rework to fill a more significant role. As was said above there are much better options in Ressers for the same cost. I'd rather she fill a completely different role than a (sort of) beater/ (sort of) tank When they replaced Projected Voice with beckoning call it was definitely a step up but I would have much rather seen her get something either like an obey or make her be able to summon belles. Both options would fit her thematically and would make her a unique model worth the 10stones. In comparison Vasilisa has similar abilities, she can summon Stitched and has an obey for friendly minions and only costs 8 stones and is versitile This may be too much but if the Belles had By Your Side they could keep up with Seamus and make more use of a 1" Scarlet temptation and fill the role of scheme runners. You would have to increase they cost to 6 (or maybe higher) but it would put them on par with Undergrads as great keyword minions and would definitely see competitive play

Yeah it was Backroom dealings and the trigger on Blackmail (which went off every time) that wrecked my hand, I discarded cards to stop the Obeys, which maybe I shouldn't have done. Now I know how BD works I'd definitely try and get the reveal on schemes quicker. I also forgot that insignificant models can assist that would have helped alot

Just got back from the Malifaux UK Nationals where I won another Best Painted for my Urami crew Got an Army Painter brush set as well as trophy!

I just played at the UK Nationals this weekend which was a lot of fun, but one of the match-ups I had the most trouble with was Youko. It was my first time playing against her so I only had a vague idea what she could do. I ran Kirai which was probably a mistake because cards. So I played nearly the whole game without a control hand meaning summoning was significantly reduced, and also no protected (Urami). Ikiryo was pretty much shut down as without cards I couldn't shrug off the bucket loads of distracted being dished out (my opponent targeted lost love early to get rid of my condition removal) I didn't kill a single model and ended up losing 5-3 which probably would've been 8-3 if we'd played the last turn So just wondering what experience other people have had against Youko and how they handle her. I think Kirai may just be a bad a match up for her as she's so card intensive. At a quick glance I'm thinking Von Schtook may be a good choice? He has good card draw which is definitely needed. Can also remove conditions himself and pulse out focus to handle all the distracted. Also can hand out stunned pretty easily to turn of some of those nasty triggers

Dead Rider is finished, wasn't happy with the colours initially but its grown on me
