retnab Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hey all, so I figured it'd be handy for people to have the information we know from the cards so far on here to have an idea on what sort of playstyle we'll be looking at. We're slowly getting to see more of the cards, and I'll update this regularly as new information is provided to us! I also have a written version below detailing what each model has on their card, plus what changes when they go to Glory. I hope you find this helpful and interesting! Also, should go without saying but, since this is all beta stuff it is *SUBJECT TO CHANGE* and nothing seen here is guaranteed to be in 1.0. We've already seen some changes (how we go Glory, Stalking Portal price, etc.) and we're almost definitely going to see more tweaks before now and then. ***So, I'm keeping the thread up but now that Wyrd has the cards updating as changes happen on the Cult's main page (right here), I'm going to stop updating everything as often as that would require constantly comparing and contrasting the cards. For the most up to date cards available, you should be checking the main website. I hope you found that portion helpful to you!*** ***Also, discarding either Joker lets you pass out 2 Shaken Tokens, for a total of 8 potential Shaken Tokens to provide per deck cycle*** General Assets Quote Stratagems Quote Commanders Quote Commander Assets Quote Titan Quote Titan Assets Quote Champions Quote Syndicate Champion Quote Squads Quote Adjunct Quote All models - written Quote ***NOTE THAT ANYTHING IN HERE IS NOT GUARANTEED TO BE UP TO DATE, AND IN FACT IS LIKELY THE LEAST RELIABLE WAY OF GETTING THE INFORMATION ON THE CARDS.

So, what does this all mean? Who knows! There's still a bunch of stuff that's not visible, but it's interesting to see that going Glory gives different stat boosts (offensively and defensively) to different models rather than a straight boost across the board. The fact that some models just gain triggers while some gain totally new abilities tells me you're going to want some models to get Glory before others, probably. Especially Adeodatos, that guy seems to get a ton from Glory! All good stuff to know, and only makes me want more info. Just one more week! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDAntoine Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Great write up, was going to do the same until I saw the time involved for this. Thanks for sharing the stuff so far. As I can only guess towards several rules and abilities I'd gladly join the debate after next week. I think some of the left blanks can be filled in. Probably something like: GORYSHCHE (120mm Fireteam) Regeneration: When this unit Activates, it may discard a card to attach one Snapping Head Asset. (Ca)Hell Maw (6 v Df | 3"): Strength 4. Target gains a Shaken Token. Swallow Whole: This Action immediately gains +1 Strength and Precise. GLORY: +1 Sp and Df GLORY: Gain the following ability: When this unit Activates, it may discard an Asset to deal Damage equal to the Asset's Damage or Scrap value. GLORY: Hell Maw gains +1 AV. GLORY: Gain the following ability: Vexing Screech (7 v 14 | (4)): Discard the top 3 cards of your Fate Deck. Every enemy unit with a Fireteam in (4) gains a Shaken Token for every discarded .Hungry Head: Immediately increase the range of this Action by +1" per Snapping Head Asset attached to Goryshche. @Aaron Those names of the Cult members are really numbing my mouth allready and I've not even said them too often 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as I am not a huge fan of mutations and the like, those mechaniks sound really amazing! I had thought I could choose only the Earth factions, but now a magicians and big monsters list doesnt look so bad Yeah its what got me so excited aswell. The beauty of having The Other Side is that you have room for EVERYTHING. Malifaux essentially is a gateway to another smaller world and The Other Side simply is an alternate Earth in a fantasy steampunk setting. Which is why I'm looking so forward to more factions. The most surpising faction to me so far is Abyssinia, but largely because they are so high-tech it almost feels like un-steampunky... or something... Malifaux is obviously not very limited in terms of design but in a way much more limited as The Earth Side. I believe this simply because in order to get to Malifaux, you need to have a reason for it and if your high and mighty, rich and favours, powerful and well endoused in Soul Stones allready you'd have way less reasons to see what's on the other side of the gate. However I will also say I always had a natural preforance to army games, skirmishes are awesome but often require you to fill the board with a lot of static pieces (terrain, buildings, objectives etc) and my personal preforance remains to go to putting the table full of mobile pieces, which is better seen in an army game.

retnab Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 New info from the new video! We don't get to see the Glory side, but we know a bit more about what The Broken do now (apparently, cycling your deck). Also, a Cult Stratagem has been revealed!

retnab Posted December 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 We have new and better looks at the Cult unit's cards (front only sadly), I'll update the written portion of the first link with it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Bear Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 The twisted horrors seem like a really nice, resilient unit. Not a huge fan of ol' Gut Mouth there, but the others look pretty nice! (Show me the ECB Black Ops, I want the Gentle(mad)men!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnab Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 We have the full front of the Goryshche card now! Updating its entry in the main post. Also just noticed that once we get Fenton's Card the screenshots in the first post will be outdated (the front of the cards one anyways) so I'll probably remove it and replace it with these images.

retnab Posted December 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Alright, I've reupdated all of the cards (from the images on the Kickstarter and the best screencaps I could get of the rest in the videos) in the original post! I also colour coded what Glory gives to each model so the text section looks like less of a flat info dump. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Git Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Thanks for compiling this retnab! So what do people think about the rules so far? I'm thinking about getting an extra Stalking Portals, they're super cheap at 4s and have great synergy with Adeodatus and the crew in general (seems like portals are what's going to make or break this allegiance). Also, other than the portals, am I the only one who thinks the Cult is the straight-up weakest (stats-points cost ratio) of the allegiances and it's going to take getting the most out of the portals and synergies to pull off the win? This is not a bad thing, it's part of what's drawing me to the Cult! Look at it this way: King's Empire - mass guns and solid stats, also those Dragoons are insane (strength 6!), as is their sniper-commander... Gibbering Hordes - literally a horde, that name ain't a lie! Also good control with tide pools for heaps of benefits, and top notch in combat. Abyssinia - Just really tough with very solid stats and Asset gimmicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnab Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 No problem! It helps that I currently have way too much free time and enjoy making lists and spreadsheets I'm excited by the Cult, they feel the most different as far as rules go. So far of what we've seen, their three big shticks are the Portal Markers, their ability to just give out Shaken Tokens (friendly or enemy) for every Ace that goes in the discard, and their deck cycling abilities (take a look at Fenton again, he has an ability that uses the top TEN cards from your deck!). #2 and 3 are definitely related, and if I'm guessing right you should be going through your deck at least once a turn when some of those abilities stack together. I mean, we won't know until we get the rules post-Kickstarter and get the army on the table but it definitely seems the least straightforward of the choices, which I kind of like! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDAntoine Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 A lot of units remind me of Neverborn. They are a lot of glass canons basically but hit absurdly hard in melee. As mentioned by retnab their shtick seems card and fireteam manipulation, like Neverborn they also have acces to cheap stuff that clogs you up. I wouldnt be suprised to see a Cult summoner soon either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnBloodbeard Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 So, to sum their playstyle up in a few words - would it seem like this is the faction that has a LOT of tricks up their sleeve, and the tricks will probably vary wildly depending upon which units/commander you have? Probably more tricks than any other faction? (Poms - shoot stuff and kill it. Hordes - swarm stuff and kill it. Abyssinian - make elite stuff more elitey. burning man - do weird stuff that nobody sees coming) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucidicide Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Yeah, Burning Man is probably the trickiest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the factions look pretty sweet, don't they? About the only one I'm not seriously considering is Cult of the Burning Man, and that's because I'm not a huge fan of body horror. Plus they have the feel so far of being the "For teh evulz" faction, which I don't like. But we shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Bear Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 The difficulty of getting the Cult into glory is one thing that worries me about the units compared to the other factions. Abyssinia is very straightforward, the Empire rewards you for doing what you were going to do anyway, and the Horde probably has a lower cost/ease than even Abyssinia. The Cult definitely looks tricky but I worry it may be *too* tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnab Posted December 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I'm hoping we have a Stratagem or Asset that focuses on handing out Shaken Tokens, that might help it out. I had assumed from our partial info on Fenton that he would, but now we know his ability is enemy only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucidicide Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 As I mentioned at some point somewhere, the Cult's Glory mechanic is the most up for discussion as it is the most recent significant rules change.

Although it might make Fenton too powerful... I hope they test it! There are so many ways Wyrd could do this using the Shaken Tokens. At the moment, my biggest issue is how much control the enemy have over when your units can go to Glory by stealing their Shaken. Another way Wyrd could go would be to make Cult units immune to the effects of Shaken (they're already pretty deranged after all!). This allows them to keep all their Shaken Tokens. Could be balanced by not allowing them to gain Focus Tokens. Could be worded like this: Already Deranged: Friendly units/Fireteams may not have Shaken Tokens removed by the enemy and may never gain Focus Tokens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Bear Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 A change to how the Cult achieves Glory would probably rekindle my interest in the faction. That and the ECB Black Ops stretch goal being reached. Seeing a gameplay demonstration with the Cult might also help. Or an Immolated Bear.
