touchdown

This is gathered from podcasts, but it sounds like the one counter is a strong alpha.

I'm no fan of them but their gun is already stat 5 lol

I dont think the rules support this interpretation personally. An Aura is Range and LoS from the generating model, including the generating model. Buried Beebe fits all those requirements

otoh, you can't drawn range and LOS while buried unless the ability or action specifically tells you to

I would think you could do a book based around Freiholt. There's a whole second city through the breach now

Hamelin

Alyce

Montressor

Student of Conflict

Nix

2x Prospector

Theoretical max of 8 execute attacks per turn and you're generating the soul stones to get them off. List won't score a lot of points, but neither will your opponent. Also could probably swap Nix for the stalker or whatever your favorite scheme runner is.

yeah pretty sure it stops positive flips before they have a chance to cancel out negatives. So it can be quite brutal

that's some neat malifaux history @Adran

I think you can just obey stuff around, have the wretch and nix do bleeding disease, and then hire whatever else you want for your crew

Levi had a niche, which was "defensive tech doesn't work against me", but then they gave amalgam the best the minions, and the best flanker model, and one of the best guns in the game, and the total package was just way too good. Now, I'm not sure what Levi 1 is supposed to do. Freikorps seems better in almost any situation you'd bring Amalgam into.

Oh well, at least we have rider Levi now

HH changes the math on some models. Bishop can carry 2 bombs who can drop, walk, drop and can get another 5" of movement besides. With only 4 models, he can't really be swarmed so the fragility is not as bad of a flaw. Also my list adds up to exactly 27 stones, so going with a cheaper model would be leaving value on the table as our upgrades aren't really worth it.

It still correctly takes 4 stones from the pool, but on the hire screen listed as zero

After a couple erratas and a big expansion, we have a lot of new options.

One I just tried and worked amazingly was: Taelor, Bishop, Big Jake, Student of Conflict. Taelor and Bishop provide a huge fear factor, as long as they're able to back each other up, you have a 9-10" circle of the board your opponent has to be real careful about entering. Student is feeding fast to Taelor and then can score late if needed (I think people overlook that 6" move, she's scooting across the board when she wants to). Finally the MVP of the show is Big Jake. Outside your opponent teching against him (bringing anti-bury or demise), he's basically a guaranteed 2 strategy points and can easily help with assassinate or vendetta and is extremely difficulty to score vendetta off of. You can just run in and drop a bomb, let your opponent kill him and then unbury him at any point to drop a 2nd. In this game, he only ended up dropping 1 but that's because I made him a super decoy/bait and he was able to 1 activation murder my opponent's leader (I had the RJ in hand and flipped a 13 rams on another attack, so I'm not sure this should be expected, but with flurry and critical strike, there's always a chance). My opponent was running Tri-Chi lead by Popcorn, and while we both decided Popcorn kind of sucks, I think it still shows Jake is awesome.

The above list worked so well it might just stay as my Mercenary HH list but I also want to try Kenshiro. Not sure how to complete the list though, replace Bishop and then the Student with a Ronin? Put SoDP on Taelor?

It wasn't a problem this match, but there's no healing and no condition removal in the list which could be a problem

Some other lists I want to try:
Starter Box
Hannah, Metallurgist, 2x Engineer
I think there's got to be a good Barbaros list but I haven't figured it out yet

To clarify, the things that I think are probably overtuned (but have only played one game)

• The TNs are just so darn efficient (especially when you account for Beebe picking up two extra cards that are high enough to meet those TNs).
  • I think Beebe is probably a near auto-take in the pools you want this Nexus.
• The huge amount of AP just means you're able to find a way to do what you want to do.
  • Especially since the models can obey each other.
• The huge amount of AP puts out quite a bit of activation pressure.
  • When you throw in Archivist, the crew feels quite oppressive.

So overall, I think if we see nerfs to the ES super-friends, maybe this crew will feel a bit more reasonable (although still wildly powerful).

With no real experience, every time I read about Nexus being OP it seems like the Archivist is the piece that moves it from really powerful to virtually unbeatable. I wouldn't mind if the next errata just nerfed it and lets see how it shakes out after that (especially given how much ook play the Archivist also sees)

just imagine the most stereotypical football coach telling him to rub some dirt on it lol

Catalan Brawler has toss in the mud. So I think him and Johan are your options

I usually have to delete the app data if an old card doesn't have the errata version and redownload all the cards (using Android)

My understanding is that the model's controller does simultaneous effects in the order of their picking. So you can prevent burning and poison damage with shielded if you want, or not if that's helpful (ie scoring hidden martyrs or something).

Not an ook use, but I think Hannah, Metallurgist and 2x Engineers should be an excellent henchman hardcore list for those that play

"in concealment" is probably a typo of "in concealing terrain" or "has concealment". I would lean towards using "has concealment", it makes more sense to goof up "has" -> "in" than "concealing terrain" -> "concealment". Jin would lose some synergy with both keywords if Skulker was only concealing terrain as well.

In concealing terrain is way way way more powerful than has concealment. Standing on a shadow marker is in concealing terrain, but if it's has concealment for an ability, you will only have that from a few specific abilities and actions. I think sputtering exhaust would be the only source that works for a start phase ability.

You don't have concealment while in concealing terrain unless something is drawing sight lines

I read it as different from other suits added via fate tokens. Which is why he's able to declare multiple triggers. But I think you can double up on the card suit

hanging out buried generating a pass token and forcing some discards and until you want to pop out and teleport an enemy minion to it's deployment zone sounds generically good unless your opponent has any bury tech (so probably not usable against outcasts or guild since they'll be expecting bury tricks from misaki anyway, a little easy to play in es).

However, what exactly does "in concealment" mean? I thought models had concealment, or were in concealing terrain.

I always thought buried models don't have a position so they can't be inside an aura, even if they generate it. You're in the shadow realm, there's no auras there

It's a good tech pick vs blast & pulse crews like Wizz-Bang and Nephilim.

Although less good if Wong is doing irreducible damage.

I think the ability to get equipment without von schill is at a minimum interesting. You can have landmines out for Parker 2 to slide around.

She can leap every other turn.

Or just take a focused rocket launcher attack every turn.

I think there's a lot of play there.

There's also free loot on wanted criminal

I’m liking the idea of 33 with Daw for drawing the Black Joker. You just doubled my interest in 33 OOK! Though, Hanged might be a bit slow without any Guilty in the list.

Use Daw2 and pull the enemy to your hanged
