Thanks guys, I've canceled my order in germany and placed one at wayland games. 

I appreciate your help!

thanks for the swift reply @Nathan Caroland. guess I'll have to order somewhere else then.

I know that it is not your guys fault. kinda frustrating nonetheless

So I've got a question regarding special orders in germany: Good Ol Boys will be available until the end of this month.

I've ordered them via fantasywelt.de ages ago but so far they have not yet received any special orders as it seems.

With September coming to an end soon: should I just order them via wyrds shop and pay the huge shipping costs? or will they be available throughout later months if the order was placed timely? 

I like this new found love for bushwhackers I generally thought people didn't like them.

So do Kin and Tricksy play too similar of a game?

I wouldn't say that.

I feel like that Tricksy is more about moving stuff into (un)favourable positions while kin is about raw damage potential while being deceptively sturdy thanks to "flinch" and "the bigger they are"

dont get me wrong, rooster riders are hella strong. but Little Lass, Trixibelle and Mah herself are really good at pushing stuff around. Many players also swear on Big Brain Brin for doing stuff. I have yet to try him though. Also I have not yet tried out the "robot" part of tricksy (survivors, Sparks, soulstone miner)

Yesterday I played Corrupted Idols on Wedge Deployment - 35SS

Harness the Leylines (me), Claim Jump (both), Take Prisoner (Opponent)

Ulix (me) Vs. Yan Lo (TT)

Bayou:

Ulix

Penelope

Old Major

Slop Hauler

Slop Hauler

Hog Whisperer

Wild Boar

Ten Thunders:

Yan Lo

Soul Porter

Chiaki

Toshiro

Ashigaru

Yin

Low River Monk (the healing kind of Monk)

This game went surprisingly well for Ulix.

I managed to turn the Wild Boar into a Warpig and charge into my opponents backline on turn one. I didnt kill anything but in turn two the warpig chomped down the Low River Monk and the Soulporter thanks to shove aside.

The Hog Whisperer did not Play out to his full potential as he was busy summoning piglets in the turns 1 to 3. The Piglets I almost exclusively used to turn them into Bacon for harness the Ley lines after pushing Idols. this worked really well!

The Slophaulers were so and so. Summoning piglets turned out to be rather difficulty. The Rams was hard to come by with normal Flips and so I had to cheat if I wanted a piglet. The Shooting was okay. The feed piggies was crucial however in keeping old Major alive.

Old Major was a beast in this game. WP6 was amazing and his own healing paired with SlopHaulers and Ulix' healing (and the sturdy critters ability)  made him unkillable in this game.

Ulix and Penelope both mainly were there to herd the Warpig and Old Major. I got so many attacks out of that that I managed to kill Yan Lo in Turn 3 or 4 (twice)

My Opponent conceded on turn 4 after Yin was dead and only Toshiro and a single ashigaru were "alive". At this point the games was 3:2 for me, with old Major, Ulix, Penelope, WarPig and Hog Whisperer still alive.

I think the Key for Winning were the many Actions I got out of old Major and the Warpig and more importantly that Pigs drop Bacon instead of corpses.

Also very important this game: Wild Boars being unimpended. There were some Tracks on the Table with the severe trait.

I sadly couldn't make use of squelers this game. Either I didn't need them or Ulix Actions failed. (happend twice I think)

Fingers is amazing. Not only is he a great scheme-Denier! He is incredibly annoying with dishing out slow and rather hard to pin down!

One game against Misaki he survived two rounds amidst enemy beaters because of the built in squeal combined with the trusty flask heal. he kept the lone swordsman and a Crime boss busy. He even made Misaki Show up to deal with him.

the wording is "...drop and additional marker of the same type..." so I'd say yes. It'd be a second enemy schememarker.

Yesterday I played Wong vs Yan Lo.

Wong

Olivia Bernard

3 Lightningbugs

Burt Jebsen

Taxidermist (+free Stuffed Piglet)

Flying Piglet

VS

Yan Lo

Soul Porter

Chiaki

Toshiro

Yin

2 Ashigaru

Strategy: Turf War

Schmes: We both picked Deliver a Message and Harness the Ley Lines

In Turn one I hit a "Wait What?!" on Launch into Space so I was well prepared fo scoring harness the Ley lines after turn two.

Yan Los Crew caught me off guard in how mobile they were, so my flying piglet, who was supposed to swoop onto a Turf marker and leave got tarpittet and later on skewered by an ashigaru. (the Bacon on the centerline however was a nice touch and I can see that flying piglets can be very versatile)

Turn two and Three went very well for me although Yin passed every single Fzzzzzap-Movement Duel so it got like 5 Glowys on it. I killed Toshiro fairly easily with fzzzzap and some taxidermin. Obviously he came back pretty quickly.

at this Point I had scored 3 VP and Yan lo 2 VP.

On Turn 4 and 5 everything went down hill. I had 3 Turns of no severe handcard in a row. I could manage to kill anything important. I had to shoot my own lightningbug to kill Yin via Arcane Feedback.

Yan Lo turned Burt jebsen into red mist, before he could do anything meaningful.

After turn 5 only Wong and a flying piglet was left and got tossed around by yan lo.

In the end I lost the Game 3:6

It was a fun and tough game. Yan lo cornered me Pretty well.

Best Models:

Yan Lo, Wong, and Yin.

I was also impressed by the flying piglet. Dazzling flourish slowed Yan lo once and the free Bacon when it dies is amazing.

The Taxidermist was okay, underperformed in Combat however.

Worst:

Chiaki and Burt who both died before they could do anything.

Brewmaster

Wesley

Whiskey Golem

Fingers

Popcorn Turner

2 Whiskey Gamin

2 Moonshinobi

VS

Parker Barrows

Doc

Mad Dog

Convict Gunslinger

Bandito

2 Prospects

something else I cant remember

We were playing Turf War and I chose Deliver the message and Harness the Ley lines.

Popcorn Turner nearly died within the first round after a gunslinger charged him for 6 Damage. He recovered with his trusty flask and would stand for another two turns.

Brewmaster was a beast: luring People out of Position and smacking them around. He had killed a gunslinger, mad dog and a prospect by turn 3.

Fingers was great in stealing markers and asking Questions at parker barrows who just had recieved a message by the Whiskey Golem. Whiskey Golem tanked some hits by Barrows.

When one of my moonshinobi cheated in a red Joker against the remaining bandita to kill her, my Opponent conceded in round 4. It was 4:0 for Bayou so it'd been hard to come back for barrows with only 3 models remaining.

I really like the 3rd Edition Tri-Chi. It was Kind of hard to spread around Poison around my own guys after round 1 but unless I want to use "a small favour" on my own guys the only Gremlin that Needs Poison is Brewy himself and he got served some fine Drinks by wesley and a Whiskey gamin

My Faction Pack and Rulebook finally arrived 😍

Great job wyrd! The Tarot Size cards are amazing in real life!

Love it! 

I'm still wondering if there will be a Gremlin-Pioneer, staking Claim to every Inch someone else has already build up a house.

I mean Mah used to have a Manifest Destiny Upgrade...

We created the Special Order program for this very reason - so that our existing players would not be frustrated with having to buy models they already own. This is no small task for us, but we are doing everything we can to ensure new and old players alike can enjoy Malifaux for years to come. 

Still Crossing my fingers hoping Special orders will be available in Germany. I know it's not your fault but most likely a distrubutor issue but the last time I checked my go-to store and thei Distributor had no clue at all.

I like the hootenany box because I don't own banjonistas yet - so I got lucky and this will be a buy for me. The Deliverance-Box however… I'm not so sure about that. Do I get this Right? Spit Hogs are Minon (2) but there will be only one in the box? So there is also just one sculpt? If so I will most likely just end up using old Major and the sow as stand ins since I don't really Need any more bayou gremlins.

I like Big Brain Brin with Ulix as you can stack your deck towards the end of the turn with a bunch of severes, or, their relatively low defence means they are very succeptible to conditions which he can remove. Turning off triggers, arcane reservoir and card draw is gravy.

I also liek First Mate as a beater, but I'm sure you can manage without him.

I have neither played BBB nor First Mate so I cannot tell wether you should take em or not but for Starters I'd say you should stick within the Keyword.

You just cannot go wrong with Slop haulers and Hog Whisperers (which will soon come in a box of three). You also Need piglets, obviously, and warpigs. Also the Sow and/or Gracie are good.

So I'd recommend you go hogwild at first and from there on you can dip into other stuff.

if we're lucky we might get our hands on that 3e stuff in september

where did you get the September-Information from?

As far as I know shops and stores simply don't know when they'll be able to sell M3E stuff.

great stuff. Will we find out what the Brewmaster has said to Mah Tucket that let her cast her vote for Lenny?

Also: Cooper Jones is missing in the list of TriChi models

Uh! nice! love the models!  are they worth the out-of-Keyword-Tax?

On paper they look immensly powerful but I have yet to play them.

Have you contacted fantasywelt? 

several times on several Topics regarding the release, yes. I guess they have a dedicated inbox with my Name written on it by now :D

They have great customer support and answer pretty quickly. I don't think there is anything they can do to Speed Things up. I guess it comes down to how good/fast their Distributor is and apparantly it is not the best.

 have become nerfed

how can it be a nerf when it's a new game? It's not M2E and not a continuation of it.

There are some severe changes between M2E and M3E, yes, but I've played enough Games during the closed and open beta to assure you that it is a frikkin good game! Play it.

I loved M2E and I was strongly against M3E Prior to it's announcement. Once I've made my peace with it though I realized how much better it is.

Especially as a game developer you should/could appreciate the efforts that have been made to make every Keyword viable in itself. There are no/less faction-wide "must haves".

As a M2E Gremlin Player I almost always brought a Slop Hauler. I've had dedicated schemerunners that were played regardless of the master. a few bayou Gremlins made it into almost every list.

At the same time I almost never played mah tucket and bushwhackers. Trixiebelle however fit into many lists. Rooster Riders were not worth their Points and there was no reason to play moon shinobi at all.

Now Everything seems viable. Of Course after a certain time I will find certain things I like better and will take them over other certain things. But overall it's just a better designed and well rounded game.

I think you should try the UK ones before Brexit happens

yeah I was thinking about that too but I'd like to Support my "local" stores and Shops. My Group and I will be Patient I guess. I mean, the rules and Cards have been published online. So we will have no Trouble playing the game !

Some online stores are better than others at informing their customers.

For example, a month ago, Wayland still let you order Von Schill's box without having stocks inside their inventory and telling you on the website they refurbish was expected.

Meanwhile, Element games told you flat out that the product was no longer available.

So sometimes you have to go to several sources to find out what is the most likely truth.

I agree and I tried that. it's hard to find a german store that provides anything malifaux 3rd Edition however.

okay so I pre-ordered some faction packs and the rulebook for me and my Group on a german online store. (fantasywelt.de)

right now it says "waiting for updated release date by the Producer". So it seems they have not yet received anything. I guess it's the fault of the Distributor which also didn't know anything about "Special orders". Anyway it's kinda annoying.

I'm not criticising wyrd btw. I have no insight in what is really happening. I just wanted to Report on how Things go in Germany.

So I came to TTB via Malifaux.

My group started playing Malifaux 2nd Edition as soon as Warhammer had died.

We were initially drawn into the world of Malifaux because it was so so different from anything else we had played before so it was a forgone conclusion for us, being not only a tabletop but also a P&P-Group, to try out TTB.

I picked up the books and was immediatly drawn to the Idea of letting fate Play a role in creating the characters and also influencing the future adventures I was going to write. The Idea of my Group looking for Moments in which their destiny might be fulfilled makes writing so much more fun to me.

And more than once I have been surprised, when destinies were resolved without my planning.

I also like the "forced" Feedback and reflection on the games that have just been played. It is great to reflect on how an Adventure was perceived and what the Group wants from future adventures.

maybe it's the inherited hatred against Hayreddin.

I'm not tooooo firm on the fluff but wasnt he shunned by lillith because of his use of necromancy?

Maybe that mindset keeps on echoing within the neverborn Players?

did Titania or Nekima absolve him of his sins against neverborn-society?

As for gameplay: I don't know much about neverborn playstyle. On paper he Looks pretty good to me.

Not sure if this is what you mean, but there is a mention in the rule book that change in elevation due to going up a slope does not take movement.

Let me see if I can find the reference

yeah I just found it in the examples of certain Terrain pieces like "Hill" and "Staircase"

thanks
