Ok. So this is gonna be an odd question. Where did the fun animals in Malifaux come from? Pigs, dogs and giant chickens and rabbits that the gremlins use. Were they earthside creatures that got mutated or are they native to Malifaux? The reason for this odd question is as follows...PAINTING! I have this crazy idea of painting all earthside origin miniatures in warm tones. All Malifaux origin miniatures in cold tones. Spirits and undead in neutral tones. So, in order to slave myself to this painting format, I need to know the origin of certain animals in my Bayou faction so that I can fully commit to this activity and drive myself further into the depths of insanity.

The rules state that nothing can reduce damage below 1, unless it is stated. Does this mean that Armor and other damage reducing abilities cannot reduce damage to zero? It seems that the answer is yes, but I really just want it clarified by more experienced people so that I am not the chump at the table. Thanks.

Can you post your list, please? I played last night and did well. Generated quite a bit of poison on myself that helped me keep my guys on their feet. I would like to see how getting 16 poison on those Gamin works out though. Thanks.

I see no reason I still can't take advantage of Driving while I drink after I create them and still have 2 Akename to help out with stuff. Nothing says I cannot use Driving while a drink if I summon them as opposed to starting the game with them. When they activate, the ability happens. This way I have 2 extra models handing out poison like a charity and the gamin can run off and scheme for a few turns.

I am looking at the following list... Brewmaster Wesley Cooper Whiskey Golem Mechanized Porkchop Akename Akename #2 Either Gracie or Lucky Emissary First turn I poison up and create a Gamin. Second turn I create another Gamin while I crush the enemy. Third turn I give opponent tissue to wipe away their tears as I crush the rest of their crew. Fourth turn, we both have a drink and a laugh.

I will summon Whiskey Gamen on turns 1 and 2.

I am planning on running a Brewie Construct list and was wondering what peoples opinions are of using the various tank options. I know Whiskey golem is a must, as well as Mechanized Porkchop. What about Gracie or the Lucky Emissary? I see lists with Gracie because of Ride with me, but I never see anyone trying the Lucky Emissary and it seems like it would be a solid fit in the list because of Armor +1 and ignoring armor in duels. Please give me your thoughts on this. I am excited about trying this out. Thanks for any input.
