Not to hijack this thread - but I was able to get a vassal game last night - my first game with Dashel...into Kaeris in Recover Evidence. I had Hidden Martyrs and Vendetta. I brought Dashel, Dispatcher, Queeg, Steward, Pale Rider, Executioner, Warden, Rifleman. 5 stones. I brought the steward to have an extra Foul Mouthed motivation (to give focus/fast) plus some condition removal (Kaeris, plus the trigger gives focus/fast again). My general plan was to activate Dashel and the Steward earlier to hand out focused/fast. I assumed he'd have to come to me and focused on a more balanced crew. We only got to play a couple turns due to timing and getting to learn vassal but I learned a lot. I deployed kind of in a bubble to take advantage of shouting orders (Dashel) and taskmaster (Queeg). My goal was to get fast on a lot of models. It worked! I probably overdid it a little and should have kept a couple of the focuses instead. The highlight of the game was my fast executioner pushing from Queeg's prison supt rule, then using trail of gore on the dispatcher (+1 card), then charging into Kaeris who ventured a little too far (she was injured 2 from the pale rider's prev. activiation). I didn't have a great hand but figured out often do you get 3 swings at a weakened master? well I fluffed my attacks and only did 2 damage to her. But it could have been glorious. think I underestimated how hard it would be to summon and I give Explorator above a lot of props for his opportunism concept. My starting hand was 8, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1. I stoned and ended up with 8, 6, 4, 4, 4, 4. Not a great hand for summoning and couldn't really do much. I found I wasted some AP turn 1 since I had counted on it. Big learning moment was on the rifleman first turn. I should have just layered a couple focus on him instead of giving him fast. When he activated I needed focus to burn for added range so ended up wasting AP. Dashel just seems very flexible.

I just picked up Dashel myself so I'm interested in this topic as well!

How is Minako with the recent changes?

Since I'm just starting out I've been interested in getting a couple HH games in to get my feet wet. Manos seems like a good leader - was actually looking at Manos/Toshiro/Chiaki/Komainu earlier. just for the summons. How often does the "Constriction" ability come into play? I'm coming from a warhammer background so it was relatively uncommon to retreat. Not saying I never did it, but most times you finish out when you get stuck in. If disengaging in Malifaux is super common I can see this adding some utility, but otherwise I'm feeling pretty meh on Yin. One cavaet would be Yin in a Redchapel crew - I could see his 'your'e coming with me' trigger as great fun throwing people into Seamus.

Hard enough getting into this game to theory-faux (used to call it theory hammer!) lists and then a big errata drops. With the changes to Archie and Manos's reliquary do people still plan to include these guys all the time? I would certainly still take Manos in a Yan Lo crew, but wondering who is seeing more reps with the adjustment. I haven't seen Toshiro get any love here but his reliquary seems decent and with the ability to summon I was thinking I might give him a couple runs in different list setups. With Archie's changes are people going to jump to the other beaters or make it work?

Hi guys - new malifaux player here. I've been on a bit of a buying binge since getting introduced and have some ressers and Ten Thunders stuff. I've listened to a lot of podcasts and read the forums and understood Shenlong/Yu was a bit broken before the errata came out. Now with the adjustment I'm trying to figure out how players might be adjusting their crews, if at all, with the new information? Do you still intend to play Yu automatically? or do people anticipate varying it up a bit?

How often do you play HH vs. a normal game?

Please check your PMs. Thank you!

Recently got an bayou Avatar of Indulgence (somer and peaches) as part of the Easter sale and I’m looking to swap straight up for one of the guild or resser avatars. Please let me know if interested

So is the store live now? I try clicking through and it keeps asking me to enter a password to continue

Just got into Malifaux but wanted to throw some WIP posts here to help with the motivation. Standard graveyard style bases by Micro Art Studio. Coming over from GW I have to say that while I generally like the style of the models the assembly of Malifaux models is really grinding me. So many fiddly pieces for someone with sausage fingers lol. I picked up an emmisary 2nd-hand and promptly broke off the skull thing so subbed in another scythe from GW nurgle bits. Will add posts periodically as I make progress. Any feedback is welcome. Have a great day!

Thanks everyone!

Good morning! A friend of mine gave me a demo game of Malifaux a few weeks ago and I got bit hard. He gave me a couple pointers on list construction but just based on fluff and model coolness factor I picked up the Seamus and Reva box sets and a couple versatile models. I've been perusing other posts and there is a lot of good tactics, etc. on this forum. But, like anything else until I start playing the game a lot of the verbiage doesn't stick yet. Any good advice for general noob/starter as far as how to approach this game? Not a complete tabletop rookie...I played a lot of old warhammer fantasy in the day and am used to just point and click try and kill everything. This game seems a fair bit more nuanced.

Just got into Malifaux...I picked the wrong time as I'm jones'ing for a game but stuck in the house! My first post...this effort is from my 9-yo daughter Rosalie.
