  1. That is how I understand it too
  2. I might depend on the game's scenario, ennemy master, or the game plan you have in mind/the crew you'll take to implement it. The emissary can give shielded to friendlies starting their activation near it, which can be useful for the moorwraiths & the grave goo (who can both reduce their shield to gain damage / final duel total on one action each).
  3. Just a small question. Now that all the cards have been made public for the explorer's society, should we expect the explorer's page on the website (here) to be updated soon-ish with the masters, their description, the list of models for them at the bottom (instead of the preview of some masters we have for the moment)?
  4. That's not what I understand. I says " Welcome to the Society!: After killing an enemy model with Cost of 5 of more, this model may Replace with any Minion that shares a Keyword with this Crew’s Leader. Then, the new model Heals 4" The cost of 5 is related to the ennemy model killed, not the minion the hopeful prospect turns into. The only limitation for the minion it turns into it has it shares a keyword with the leader of your crew.
  5. I made a quick search and it looks like it (gotta love all the references in Malifaux) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Yaga "Related terms to the second element of the name, Yaga, appear in various Slavic languages; Serbo-Croatian jeza ("horror", "shudder", "chill"), Slovene jeza ("anger"), Old Czech jězě ("witch", "legendary evil female being"), modern Czech jezinka ("wicked wood nymph", "dryad"), and Polish jędza ("witch", "evil woman", "fury"). The term appears in Old Church Slavonic as jęza/jędza (meaning "disease", "illness"). " And "Ježibaba, a figure closely related to Baba Yaga, occurs in the folklore of the West Slavic peoples. The name Ježibaba and its variants are directly related to that of Baba Yaga. The two figures may stem from a common figure as far back as the medieval period, if not further, and both figures are at times similarly ambiguous. The two differ in their occurrence in different tale types and in details regarding their appearances. Questions linger regarding the limited Slavic area—East Slavic nations, Slovakia, and the Czech lands—in which references to Ježibaba are recorded. Another related figure appears in Polish folklore by the name of Jedza."
  6. I can't wait to turn a hopeful prospect into a runaway! "Welcome to the society! Now I'm hunting you down!"
  7. I love both the look and mecanics of this crew (even if I'm very far from wrapping my head around how to use all that) There's a lot of synergy with the healing & chronicle, fragility of life, etc Same with the many terrains they can create (or the Moorwraith that can be considerer as terrain) and Jedza "Life of the Earth" action/The surveyor "pythagorean quake" trigger Quite a few possibilities to put scheme markers, have some nice mobility But also some damage potential With the many enforcers & a decent amount of minions, they are quite a lot of ways to build a crew with her First thoughts, that I'm sure a lot of people had, would be that you need a bubble to use the Chronicle abilities as much as possible. And then you'd have some models like the damned or the grave goo take off from the group to take care of schemers & stuff like that. Btw I don't know if any of you saw it, but on the 3rd moorwraith's artwork on the app has a pipe & a bowtie, and I love it
  8. Yeah I agree this models looks good for the Savage keyword. His Chronicle aura works well with the Cyclops frozen rune/uruz healing or the frozen vigor keyword ability (or the Geryon various heals) Having the ability to put some pillars with his built-in trigger on breath of frost can be nice The stagger on the breath of frost have some synergy with the lyssa opportunist/misery Leap is definitly valuable with all the pillars blocking the way He pretty tough with hard to wound & 9 health I would see him go chase lone schemers pretty well. With the mobility of the leap, and toss away the scrap that can heal him to get back the health used from the old ways. But he can be useful with friends too, healing others and getting small heals from Cyclops Also, he looks cool as hell!
  9. Happy 15th birthday Wyrd! Just started reading the explorer's society's book, liking it a lot so far! Love the look of the Seeker crew! Good job on feinting us by anouncing the cards late December then anouncing the update now
  10. Well, I mean, with those little arms they got? They won't do much with sabres, and might hurt themselves!
  11. Just got the PDF and had a quick look, but damn the seeker keyword got my attention (yeah the guy called MajorUndead is interested in the undead master, sooooo original) That keyword will be tough to fully use with all the healing aura triggering, but it looks very interesting. Annoying vs ennemy healing too.
  12. Maybe, but there might be some complex things happening behind the scenes to make sure the upload works well, there isn't some weird interaction with other recent updates, etc. They might also have other reasons to delay the release a bit (I can't really think of one but I don't own a company ) Moreover, the work done on the app has been great and the developper has been responsive to feedback and issues. So I trust them to handle this well, and I think we should try to not be too impatient about it. It's already great to have all cards (with updates!) available in a game like this, so if it takes some time to get the most recent ones, I won't complain Speaking of updates, if anyone remembers how long it took between the anouncement of the March errata, and the app update to have these changes, this could be an indication of how long we'll have to wait.
  13. Hopefully it will be soon But even if the work to add the cards might have been prepared in advance, it's probably still a big update to push to an app. So that might take a bit of time (to test to make sure there's no major issue, to upload it to the apple&google servers handling the app, etc). I'm not familiar with how this all works but I prefer to consider it's going to take a bit of time and be pleasantly surprised if it arrives sooner than I thought
  14. Yeah I thought of this guy when I saw today's preview. The written text mentions that it uses "EVS' anchor" as a weapon. So it's clear that model is from that keyword, AND it seems EVS is the name of a ship
  15. Looks like this can have a lot of interesting ways to be played. If I got that right, when calypso has a pilot, it will basically activate twice in the round? Once has its own activation, once with the pilot's activation making Calypso do actions? Also I'm guessing the reconfigure ability might be the EVS keyword common ability (since it has the suit specified in parenthesis, there should be other instances of that ability on other suits) And the "water elemental" model that was previewed a while back might be part of this crew too, if it's all "water themed" (and since the previews mentions his captain, I'll bet that's the master so it should all revolve around water/underwater stuff)
  16. In the M3E book, it mentions that since temporary portals have opened throughout the past between Malifaux & Earth, some Neverborn went to Earth (like the people in the court of two), and in some case mingled with humans. So some groups of humans, particularly Native Americans, have Neverborn ancestors. On top of that, it says that when the Burning Man went over Canada, it "awakened" this Malifaux ancestry, giving them shapeshifting abilities : So maybe some day we'll see those shapeshifters in Malifaux or The Other Side
  17. You can add these guys in the minion category : Also Anya's box seem to be planned for end of february if this is to be trusted : https://www.waylandgames.co.uk/malifaux/79195-anya-core-box But we know there has been delays before, of course
  18. It's just some examples, but - Sandeep is 15points and his totem Banasuva is 7points, for a total of 22. - Ironside is 15points and her totem Mouse is 4points, for a total of 19. - Som'er is 15points and his totems are 2 Seekers at 3points each, for a total of 21. I haven't check all master/totem pairings, but it looks like there's a few within the same range of points.
  19. Yeah! Thinking about it, I think the healing master will be the one with the "Seeker" keyword. I was parsing through old waldo's weekly to look for the other previews of syndicate models (there was a henchman, and a minion) That minion (here) has both the syndicate & seeker keywords, and has an ability "Chronicle(Geomancy)" that triggers when a model heals within 4. Looks to me like that ability (with different effect based on the part on parenthesis) would likely be the crew ability for a healing master
  20. So we got confirmation that Anya is the master on the image of the faction's deck (in today's waldo's weekly). But she's not the healing master though!
  21. I like the idea of a push to replace the leap. There a lot more counterplay to it and the distance can be adjusted for balance. I'm not sure about the "do the action again trigger", it might be a lot of movement, even in a straight line. But even if that's the case it would still be easier to counter, and to balance in further iterations.
  22. I'm really curious about what the hidden ability & trigger are on the spelleaters' card. The ability could be "we are legion" (it would makes sense to me that this is the crew's common ability, at least thematically speaking), but the length of the text seems pretty different. Though there have been some time between the 2 previews, so it's possible the ability changed in the meantime. For the trigger I don't have much idea what it could be. Something about parasites maybe? Or just something that mentioned Cadmus models so they didn't want to show that.
  23. I'm not sure since I'm not inside other people's head, but I think what Rufess said is not that this is a problem in itself. But that it's a problem for people complaining about balance without explaining or proving their points. So they are frustrated things don't change from their feedback.
  24. Also on the preview of the faction deck, you can see Lord Cooper/Ivan/the newly revealed Nexus from Wednesday/A woman with tomahawks. So could be her as well (both Anya and the healing master)
