If the Fae were there before the Neverborn, then I'd imagine there will be some awkward conversations. Are they not Malifaux's original human inhabitants? There could have been non-human races predating them or around at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominus nox Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Titania and the Weaver seem like a really good match in an area denial game. Really keen to see how good the Minions in her box might work with Lucius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think its efficiency is low, So I think it must use for "important" model. Unlike most of her other scheme marker tricks this one isn't limited to friendly scheme markers so it can used for clearing enemy ones. The push is a bonus (and it's "up to" so you don't even have to move any of your models if you are happy with their positions and just want remove scheme markers). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork_Fish Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 I have to say, I'm not...thrilled with Titania's model, which I know puts me in the minority. Part of it is bias in that I went to a lot of trouble converting my Lilith model to have wings just like that. But also, I find her a bit incongruous next to the rest of her crew. They're all wood elf-y and here's Titania looking like she woke up in a coma ward during the zombie apocalypse. "We are here to serve you my Queen! Might I suggest we find you some pants? No? Just going to fly around wearing a discarded pillow case? Alright then." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, if Aeslin looked a bit more like Titania (and a bit less like she is wearing some sort of tentacle tree) I think she'd look a bit less out of place. I personally just don't like Titania's face as it appears in the renders, otherwise I'm pretty happy with the box. I'm sure if you painted Titania up in more woodland colours she could fit in pretty nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazlord_Prime Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Are there any other "Fae" models in the game? I'm sure I've seen that label on some other card somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four_N_Six Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'm guessing her appearance is part of her undeadness. Not sure if the rest of her crew will share that trait. It also says in her fluff that she was betrayed by her followers after they took care of the Tyrant problem because they feared her power, so that's probably got a little to do with it as well. I don't recall it saying specifically how they took care of her. My guess is that the Fae will come out to be the original inhabitants of Malifaux, which would make sense considering her royal status she's walking around claiming. Whether Lilith is willing to give up her position is a different story. And I know damn well Nekima won't without a fight. So some interesting Neverborn stories coming up, I'm sure.

It's a little less "she was betrayed" and a little more like "killed by her subjects and when it didn't take imprisoned with her friends, because she had brought the Grave Spirit to Malifaux and sold out her world for power and would have destroyed all life". Kythera got destroyed but Von Schill and friends accidentally opened up her prison at Nythera. She's undead both because she got killed, and because she's suffused with necromantic power from The Grave Spirit. But I think the disparity is mostly to show just how different and unique she is. Lilith also stands in pretty stark contrast to her crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four_N_Six Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Well that part I was unaware of. I'm not as familiar with the lore as I'd like to be, so I'm just going off of her page on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco Aleksander Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'm planning to paint her using a color scheme similar to the Elderwood Leblanc skin from "League of Legends" to tie her in with the rest of her crew. We'll see how successful that is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four_N_Six Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 That's a great look. I'm not very good at painting yet, and I decided my Neverborn were all going to be Nintendo themed, so I think she'll have to be Pit? I haven't given it much thought yet in terms of other winged Nintendo characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebarbalag Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Their physical forms were killed. No one foresaw that they could "live" on as disembodied spirit-beings capable of possessing or assuming the forms of the living... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpact Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 And if I remember reading properly, there were well more of the Tyrants than there are today - the 'survivors' were the ones with enough power and will to reform and hold onto existence?

Joel Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 So, give fears given form to Titania, get her engaged with an enemy model. Make sure that model is in base contact with a scheme marker, then have a sorrow jump up to it. When the model activates, it could take 3dmg from fears, 1 from the sorrow, 2 for scheme marker and another 1 from misery for failing the Wp test. Possibly upto 7dmg. Hmmm - where did I put Candy?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Loki- Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 IIRC Fears is a Df test, so it won't trigger Misery. edit - read that wrong, Misery is at the end. Looks like a fun combo. I'll have to give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't forget to move Titania before the Sorrow activates, or Fears will toast it. (Edit: Or, just put it on the other side of the enemy so it's not close enough to Titania, would make sense. Derp.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four_N_Six Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I don't know if that's enough for me to dust off Candy, but I HAVE been interested in trying to use Sorrows in other crews, so I'm pretty happy there's a good option with Titania.

Reservoir Dog Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Does anyone know what size the bases are for everything else in the Queen's box? I could hazard a guess looking at it but I was just wondering if anyone can say for sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by the box art though I'd say Titania, totem, and minions are all on 30mm bases. Aeslin could go either on a 30mm or a 40mm from the look of it.

-Loki- Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'm assuming Aeslin is a 40mm. She's a wide looking model. The Autumn Knights and Titania all look like fairly normal sized models, so 30mm. The Gorar, unless it's a lot bigger than the box implies, 30mm.
