spooky_squirrel Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I don't think it does Hoffman any justice to lump him in with McCabe, McMourning, and Lucious. At least not until he's somehow being fielded as an Arcanist master with Arcanist upgrades. He means well and had gotten involved with Ramos and the Arcanists because Ryle had been recruited by Ramos, Anna caused an accident, and Ramos tried to restore Ryle. He does not like the way that Ramos does things, and seems to be more of an idealist in the Guild working to limit the human-caused evils plaguing his fellow humans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWhat Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 To bring the thread back to the topic, what are some things that people would like to see changed/added to the Guild? Personally, I'd love to see a Guardsman Kennel Master or something similar that buffs hounds/make them interact via his AP. I was hoping for this over Guard Seargeants, but now that they can dominate Claim Jump they're better. I'd also like to see Lady J's upgrades get tweaked (take off Limited, reduce cost, maybe a thematic one for the Judge that buffs Marshal's). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn`t sound Construct enought. Woofinator 3000 is a lot better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of a robo-dog, just a ruthless Guild officer, possibly named Ramsey.

4thstringer Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 This is going to sound weird, But I barely have time to try out the wave 4 models plus Newcius. I'm not sure I want anymore changes any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Well, you get your wish. Errata updates only come twice pet year, with currently Aaron's intention is that the June/July errata being reserved for emergency fixes. So you likely won't see any further errata until next X-mas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Gencon just features what's not currently in the range, the Divergent Paths stuff, and the rest will probably be The Other Side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Speaking as someone whose favorite master hasn't gotten a new thematic model since twisting fates, 6 books ago, I for one hope that isn't the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's bern an expansion each year since m2e so I would assume another one is on the way. Miniature companies liveby selling new miniatures. Most people want new shiny stuff at regular intervals or the game is deemed stagnant and they move on. GW solved this by the last book being so OP that all the powergamers needed that faction. Wyrd seems to want to keep stuff balanced which likely means new models. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDAntoine Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Im quite certain another Wave will come. I think that Wyrd indeed strives to give options over new=better, the one thing we do see however is that Wave 3/4 is largely better as what we where used to not so much in Masters but general choices. The Field Reporter and Witchling Thrall are just excellent minions but further put some other Enforcers and Minions to shame aswell. Which is why I stress on how some of the old is a bit faulthy in design. Not all, just some. I am very happy with the change to Lucius as he was an oddity in the game. Likely the previous worst Master. Loco, Austringer and Frank too where above the curve and their changes are valid, needed to keep things healthy. We still do have several Guild Marshals and Guardsmen choices who do not see the board however. While the fixes to them dont even need to be massive. Leading to my following wishes: 1. Have Lady Justice work better with Death Marshals. Her own card is not bad, her Upgrades (all) are just clunky. In my opinion she survives on Badge of Office, neat but likely not intended? With an allround small Guild Marshal buff aura/effect she'd be allright. Visions of the Void also would make her really cool and unique. 2. Let us have a Master that can Summon Guardsman. Every Guardsman works in pairs, neat but also restricting them. I feel that thanks to the Austringer cuddle this plan can actually recieve a green light. Franco Marlow would also be perfect for this I feel, by large because there is a ton of room to shape him and a ton of room to have him on a Master level. Hes not the same old GG veteran who clearly was a super power just by himself. There is a list of models I have not taken and dont feel stressed about getting them (ever) most of them are indeed Guild Marshal or Guardsmen... As others will note, we do have some ways to make them slightly more viable but in all honesty the regular statline found on these models doesnt reward the use of doubles as much as their cost currently suggests. To date I feel Malifaux generally rewards diversity in your build and if your required to have a model that requires another model to function within set area it's extremely difficult to control the board. Frank and Loco are the perfect example of how powerful you need to be to succesfully apply such stratagies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertmac Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Had a game today. Ryle used his debt to the guild walked once pushed 4" to engage mcmorning and hit him once. Judge then used combat effectiveness to make him attack 3 more times with minimum 4 damage each attack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
