Does "Shifting form" switch Shelong's style upgrade everytime another monk activates or does it give the style upgrade to the activating unit, at the cost of discarding a style? If its the former, you would gain 2 chi token easily without spending concentration.

I would pick Witch Hunters They are touch all of the basic rule of the game. They have Bunring so you learn conditions, they have decent range attacks and melee. Most minions have 5 stats across, so easy to remember (Talking just Core box + Witchling Thrall). Soniia got a conditional summoning, which lets you learn about them (If you are lucky) Overall, they are decent to start with, has you'll learn more about the game and lets you learn different playstyles. Even if you stick to Witch Hunters, you have some nice options with Soniia 2, Sanctioned mages and Quellers, to get into more complex playstyles.

I disagree, from what I can see, the only two things I would consider the Lone Swordsman to be better, is the free suit and Hard to Kill. Besides those two (Which are good abilities), you are not gaining that much more over HRM. You are losing a range attack with free irreductible damage (Built-in suit) and the ability to gain +2 stats, which can often lets you dodge or hit. Also you can end with Focused+2, 2 Chi and move into position Lone Swordsman is a good Versatile unit, but I wouldn't replace the HRM. Unless I'm missing some key interaction with using Lone Swordsman. P.S.: Maybe the 8 costs is a bit too much when comparing stats only, but when factoring its interaction, it doesn't sound too bad for 8 cost.

After discussing with a friend (Also the player that destroyed my crew with Dashel), we concluded that the Mature Nephilim are not worth adding in the crew, it would be better to get more Young nephilim and transform them through grow tokens. We also find weird that the Nephilims are the only unit that doesn't get healed after being replaced. I wouldn't mind if they could use Grim feast to grow and then get healed or something similar. Lastly, Am I the only one really disapointed by the Blood Hunter? It the only unit that doesn't use or generate grow beside it corpse generation and even this is lame when compared to many other totems. I believe it would help a lot to give him the same ability as the Botanist "Feed me!" it would make it a squishy glass canon that still helps Nekima's crew beside just be a weak corpse generator. I could also be looking at Nekima's crew the wrong way. I just feel like there is a few tweak needed, to help the grow play style of Nekima 2

So I just tried a quick match with the following list SS pool: 6 Leader: Nekima, Broodmother (2) Totem(s): Blood Hunter inhuman reflexe (Ignore because bad decision) Hires: Black Blood Shaman Ancient Pact Mature Nephilim Ancient Pact Young Nephilim Young Nephilim 2 Terror Tot Terror Tot 2 I fought agaisn't Dashel 1 Guard Guild with an extra Disease Containement Unit, he was summoning like crazy. I think I got a bad match up since Guard loves to use your own Corpse markers and he can summon better units then I can. I feel I should drop my upgrades to only 1 Ancient Pact and add 1 extra Young Nephilim. I did enjoy the hundle up and replacing a YN on turn 1, 3 free SS. Any extra tips to be "better" with Nekima? I really enjoy the grow mechanic, but I feel I'm doing something wrong. If I play first, it never feels like I can jump in without my opponent focusing down my beaters. But if I don't go first, it feels like I'm loosing way too much ground for very little pay out. I use Fly with me a lot, so at least I'm doing something right TL:DR Basic (Bad) list and I need help to get better

So, i've been playing a few games agaisn't my friend and I noticed something with the "Terrifying (X)" ability. Why is it not limited to "Once per activation"? Don't get me wrong, I know there is Ruthless, I know there is some form of prevention, but it makes it feel like "To make it fair, use an ability that ignores it completly". My problem with it, is how frustrating it is to play agaisn't. even on average WP stats (5), you'll need 6+ simply to attempt you action, even if you get it, you still need to succeed for you other action. Many similar abilities, like Manipulative, Protection (X) have some sort of limitations, either once per activation, requires a sort of payment (Cards or Token) or simply gives you a -Flip. All are very usefull defenses, but no way near the level of defense Terrifying gives, for free. I might be bias, I always hated Hard CC (I hate Blue/White control decks with a burning passion), but I do believe some mild limitation might help the ability feel less frustrating to play agaisn't. Simply adding "Once Per activation" would be perfect IMO. You get a nice flip on your first action? Great for you, Terrifying is off for the rest of the Activation. You are unlucky and don't have a good hand? Well, you lost 1 action, but at least you don't need to worry about it for now. P.S.: I never seen Ruthless being as impactfull versus Manipulative, so I'm deducing it was mostly to counter Terrifying.

So I bought Nephilims, but I'm having trouble deciding how to base them. I don't go far on to the diorama, but I rather have some intresting bases when I play. I'm looking for inspiration, suggestion or examples on what theme I can use for their base

I get that it is a bad move and that making a narrow path is very unlikely (If it happens at all) I was mainly wondering why there is a difference between Mah Tucket and Titania, in regards of marker placement limitation, at the start of the game.

Since we are talking about Titania, I was wondering about her Abundant Growth ability Similar to Mah tucket, a few members of her crew can place Underbush markers, anywhere on the board. However, unlike Mah tucket, there is nothing preventing the ability to place underbush directly in the deployement zone or directly in front of it. Does it mean she could (Depending on the deployement) create some nasty choak points right in front of you? Sounds like an oversight IMO

My partner bought her first Malifaux box with the Grim for some HH matches In general, they have nice abilities, but we can't find anyway to use Hildegard's ability "Sweet song: Jealousy" or the more overall Dark Tale Are we missing something with them? Also is there some good core box to complement them? Please be detailed in your suggestion, we are both fairly new and might not know all the plays or tricks. Unrealted: In my opinion, it should be errata with something more generic to help them fit anywhere neverborn related.

Thank you very much I was looking into Nekima 2 and might have found a good combo, but I'll focus on a basic list first before checking if my theory list works. Mind clarifying what you mean by "Nephilim huddle"

Keeping it short, i've tried Pandora and even if I do love the Misery ability, I dislike the "bubble" playstyle. Next in line for some chip damage passive is Nekima. I do like the grow token ability and the black blood effect, but I'm not sure how much of a "Bubble" playstyle she is. Also not sure between Nekima 1-2, I really like the idea of the grow token, to end up with "Free" beaters, but I'm not sure which would feel better. I tend to play my list as seperate "Squads" like, usually splitting in 3 groups. Not sure if it is a good playstyle, but that is how my brain seems to go towards, even if I try to do something else. I know it may seem confusing, so feel free to ask me clarifications.

So I got the standard list with Sonia Creed (No mage but its ok), very basic to share with friend and simple enough for some easy fun at my Local shop Now I'm looking for a new list, I'm torn between a few options Mah Tuket: Focused around Pit traps with Bush Whackers and Test Subjects (Found a neat combo with creative cussing) and Rooster Rider for some nice sceamers/flankers Pandora: Her crews ability looks nice, but I'm not sure how it plays or how to build her (Standard version, not Pandora 2), I really like "Misery" Jacob Lynch: I like the Brillance token mechanic and Jacob 2 can have an intereseting gameplay, but same as Pandora, not sure how to build/play him Any suggestion, helpful tips?

That a slight problem, because going through Custom meeple will increase the shipping cost by over 20$ (Local) and My local game store do big oders to save money as a Malifaux retailer with WYRD store. I guesse I'll try to find my own STL files to print them... Any one got a good place to look for?

Is there any plan to sell official markers? I am aware that there is some scheme markers in some boxes, themed around the boxe's faction. What I'm looking for is a big bundle of different markers Like 50mm markers for Pyre/Shadows/Pit traps/etc 30mm for scheme, corpse and scraps. I would love to use them and would buy them, but I can't find any official markers and those in random online stores are very disapointing. I there no demand for it? Did I miss the boat or I am just very bad at looking?
