SAYNE Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Really want to try this out, potential Min4 with crows or stones (easy enough to have) on Lucius is something I know a lot of people might not expect. Thoughts? Anyone tried it before? Is it just horrendously bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I was supposed to face it this week, surprisingly, but Valentine’s Day... Other than having to be told every single time it was discussed that will-o-wisps count as scheme markers, I grasp the idea (and sigh that my model selection is a bit low on reliable blast marker casters).

Ludvig Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Dont forget hidden weapons so you can (0) for more attacks. Haven't tried it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they don't? They can place scheme markers when someone fails a Wp duel, but they don't count as scheme markers. And if you meant Adze, then they only count as scheme markers when determining VP.

Ludvig Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Hahaha! Every. Single. Time. This made me laugh out loud @Gnomezilla. You can't even talk about misunderstanding it without being corrected. I'm not saying I will start popping into threads where you are discussing completely unrelated things and give you this clarification but at the same time I can't make any promises either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 If we somehow ever get a game against each other I'll let you count them as scheme markers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4thstringer Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I must be missing something. What is condescending bringing to this that makes it worthwhile? EDIT: NM I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H4ml3t Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 I didn't use Condescending but I once killed an Activated Misaki with (0) Hidden Sniper followed by a Charge using Backstab and then final AP using Backstab. Lucius can be a decent Beater in the right circumstances. Alternately you can tie a model or two up and give them Red Tape with his Sword Cane so he's unlikely to be hit back.

izikial Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Is condescending worth it in this scenario, for 1 ap to maybe add 1 damage to a few attacks? I can see with a few willow wisps placing markers after a failed wp duel to trigger hidden wepons of might be nice. But its a big investment in a iffy pay of. (I dont want to understate the power of "you cant cheat" just seems like a inconciquential benefit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I dont want to understate the power of "you cant cheat" just seems like a inconciquential benefit) It might not be that big for Lucius' attacks but an agressive summoner like Molly won't like not being able to cheat. I've also used it against enemy alpha strikes to make them pay dearly for it instead of continuing the rampage on turn 2. Even big models go down pretty fast when they can't even cheat to put you on negatives to damage or cheat to make you miss. I'd say with a hand where you have maybe one 13 and the rest lowish cards it could be the difference between landing one attack or landing four attacks on a big enemy model.

Nice info, i supose between red tape and condescending you can shut a beater down. Or use condescending as the more agressive condition. Not looked at it that way.

Gnomezilla Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Opponent. “I have a godly card cycling engine! My hand will always be superior.” Lucius: “The superior force in Malifaux? I saw it in the mirror this morning.” I had a model I needed to be alive, and Condescending assured me that I couldn’t spend those assets to guarantee it. Now what I have yet to see happen is the discard a scheme marker on activation part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izikial Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 i would just like to say. I love lucius. Literally, platonicaly even metaphorically Lucius is love locius is life 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
