I'm noticing this with a lot of their stuff..... I noticed a lot of the stuff they had listed on their website at one point....is now gone. Including the new Ten Thunders Models (Chi Wardens, I think they're called. The ones that ride the paper lanterns) and the The Guild Models (The Day of the Dead Mariachi looking ones)......kind of upsetting 'cause I was looking to order them and theres no shops at all near me without driving 2 hours that sell malifaux

Oh I haven't given up, buddy and I try to meet up at least once a week to play. So far I'm on a winning streak. Last game we played we took the advice of everyone. We randomly drew schemes (after sitting down and writing them on cards). Battle looked one sided at first but turned around very quickly when I got an assassinate off on his leader with Yamaziko. Definitely plan on picking up McCabe, since I plan on doing an all cowboy themed list for the guild that I have called "The Law Rides On.." and then another list for Ten Thunders called "The Dragon Meets The Bull dog"

But definitely will take that advice and just randomly generate things and sit and learn that way. But either way.....it was fun running Misaki and seeing what some of them do.

Yeah I actually sat down and looked over the schemes, we need to get hard copies of them rather then using the app. Hell I still need to finish painting my miniatures. I just kinda wish we had more people in our area but none of the shops wanna carry the miniatures 'cause of 1st Edition.

Though after discussing it, next game we play is going to be a straight up "Battle to the Last Man"

Again, we're both still learning so, things weren't perfect. we did this on purpose to see what they were like, next one we do will be all randomly generated in the app

Buddy and I played a game of Turf War Saturday evening. Misaki vs tara. We're both noobs so it took a bit longer then it should of since we had to read the rules up. Was a custom format, Turf War w/ Assassinate, Line in the Sand, Eliminate the leader ship, Hunting party, A Quick Murder. Since we're still learning, we decided we'll just do the same schemes across the board ( I know not proper but we did this to learn how they work). Our lists we're like this Ten Thunders Misaki- The Storm, Recalled Training, Conflux of Thunder Shang Sensei Yu (I'm not Mi, I'm Yu.......sorry)- Wandering River Style Shadow Emissary Ten Thunders Brother Outcasts Tara Karina The NOthing Beast Scion of the Void Void Wretch x3 Short and sweet, Ten Thunders Drove the outcasts back. Misaki got pushed around a lot by Shadow Emissary and Sensei Yu while thunder brother put the hurt on whoever came near him. The Nothing beast tried scaring the brother but he wanted nothing to do with it and put a wallop on him with a big 5 points of damage. Then Misaki took a hit for 5 but activated that turn using Deadly Dance, moved to cover, and her good friend Shang moved up and healed her for 3. Turn 2, more moving, more shoosting, and more melee. Turn 3 was where it got interesting, Shadow Emissary used his ranged attack and took down the nothing beast after burning a soulstone and triggering. The misaki snuck up on Tara and delievered the killing blow. By turn 4, I was up 7 points from a Quick Murder, and Eliminate the leader ship plus 1 point from turf war after blowing a bunch of air at the enemy (and buddy not wanting NOTHING to do with emissary and misaki XD)......we called the game, shook hands, and said good game. I hope to give more detailed reports in the future.....basically was just two noobs wrapping our heads around the ins and outs and having fun. Next match up will be a 50 Point SS Game. Same list.......with some tweeks and some additions.

That's what I figured, so we did do it right then sweet. Did manage to get it off too on his Tara....was kind of epic.

So Saturday a friend and I were playing a game of Turf War. We're both new, and couldn't really find it in the rule book. Misaki's assassinate gives hera + when her cache is empty. Needless to say I was quick to empty her cache. What we were questioning is, and we probably over looked it is...... Does Misaki only have 2 soul stones that she add's, and once she burns her two soul stones.....does she then get that? or does it have to be all your SS in your cache?

Yeah that's what we've been practicing on, like this past Saturday at his place we played a Standard game of Turf War loaded with assassination rules. I wound up winning 7 to 0 only 'cause I kept pushing him off the point every chance I got and then held him back. But I digress, We'll probably set something up not on purpose soon.

Exactly! I look at a lot of the older models, and granted they're metal.....I want to get them but all I can find is painted ones that basically look like they were painted with a Crayola crayon. Heck, my buddy found one that claimed Professionally painted.....he got it........it was colored with sharpies. But there is also plastic ones for factions I have no real interest in playing, like the Carrion Emissary.......I just wanna get in the worst way because of how cool it looks, and the stuff I wanna do with it.

Any groups in Southeastern, CT? Anywhere from Groton, to New London, to Manchester? Buddy and I just got into the game and well kind of wanting to play more then once a week...

huh, i'll have to check it out. I've been painting for about a year so trying to improve a bit this year.

I have to ask, what paints do you use for your skin? Also....how do you get them to look so smooth. I still can't get a hand on wet blending

Haha I just might. Probably pick up the starterbox in the next few weeks since seems like you can't get them any other way. Right now I just wanna pick up something to store them in. Looking at the Malifaux bag. Collection kind of grew quicker then I thought it would XD

I almost wanna run one of the doc's from the starter kit within the group. Not to sure the synergy would be good but....eh who knows

Thanks for clearing that up Niko, lol. I'm still wrapping my head around the rules since I literally started playing 3 weeks ago and have maybe played 8 or 9 games outside the starter box.

So quick question on the rule because I'm new and Shenlong is the master I use. How exactly does it work, like explain it as if I was a 5 year old trying to learn the game. Shenlong uses burn like fire on an opponent with fast That model has yet to activate so he gains fast after that model activates and ends using it? Shenlong uses burn like fire on an opponent with fast That model has activated and used it already so therefore Shen can't gain fast and the extra ap. So basically long as the model targeted hasn't burned that condition already......he can steal it? I guess is what I'm asking?

So we don't have anyone that we know of yet. So we're thinking maybe talking to the owner of the local shop and do a demo. Maybe try and build interest. I mean I've got enough miniatures in the 3 weeks I've been playing to build a few crew's and picked the game up pretty quick and so does my buddy. Show them that 2E is basically the 8th edition version of 40K. Noobie Friendly

Honestly, I got into Malifaux after seeing how much MONEY I was pumping into 40K and Hordes. Plus my fascination with the hobby and a friend kind of nudging me towards this game. So looking over the crews.......I noticed Ten Thunders, and when I saw Yu, the Rush Hour 3 play on an old time skit from Abbott and Costello popped in to my head. "Whose on first?" Plus my affection for everything Bhuddha and Shao Lin.

Ahh ok. Makes me wanna pick him up that much more now to run this list lol

That actually looked like a good idea. Disguised? Keep in mind......I'm a complete Malifaux noobie XD

So, been looking into it. I wanna start a league down here in Southeastern CT, but.......problem is. Every shop owner I've talked to has said "no one plays" and they seem reluctant to stock the miniatures since no one really plays in the area. What do you guys think I should try and do? Stage my buddy and I playing games at the shops and try to build interest? Kinda at a loss for this one....and no clue what to do.

Misaki w/ The Storm, Risk and Reward, Recalled Training Shang Sensei Yu w/ Wandering River Style 3x Torakage No idea where I'm going with the list....just did it for fun. I thought about replacing 2 torakage w/ Low River Monks

So I've got a list going 35SS Lucas McCabe (need to get him still) 2 Death Marshals Death Marshal Recruiter The Judge What should I do for upgrades? and Any recommended tweeks?
