The rattler is not in Marcus keywords, so he can't hire it as an arcanist. Edit- or I could check and see he is.. yes it should probably be on the list. Edit 2 And in fact is on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromlyn Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 If im reading the short guide correctly, marcus as leader has access to the neverborn beasts even when run as arcanist. So things like the rattler, the bandersnatch, the rougaru ect Or does that confuse the listing post too much as they are not available to others? (Id just picked up marcus hence the interest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikodemus Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Marcus can hire "Chimera" models from every faction. "Beast" models from his declared faction (in this case Arcanist) are Versatile, so he can buy them without the +1 tax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite true, he treats all in-faction Beasts as Versatile, which for Arcanist Marcus means the Blessed of December and Hoarcats, and for Neverborn Marcus means Rougarou, Corrupted Hounds, Bandersnatch, Will o' the Wisp, Adze, and Grootslang.

[like with all beta stuff, subject to change] Agreed, the key word being in-faction. However, unless I am mistaken, Arcanist Marcus does not have access to Rougarou, Hounds, Bandersnatch, et. al.. Likewise, Neverborn Marcus can hire Chimera models listed in the Arcanist faction, but not Blessed of December. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balgor Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 I'm pretty sure goblin survivors are also foundry for Mei Feng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnab Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 They are, but they weren't when I posted theyre pretty decent, not great damage but the long range scrap drop on Throw Yer Arm trigger is a pretty unique piece of setup to let you slingshot a melee beater into the enemy's face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnab Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 So the beta forums are closed now, but I wanted to continue the conversation I had going on there. About taking Amina with Mei Feng, I tried it this week and it was okay? Got good use out of everything on the back of her card and even scored 2ss from her too (got the dream and 4/5 schemes were interact based). That said though, for 10ss it's a hard sell when the front of her card is more than half blank. Not sure I'd do it all the time, but when the dream comes up and interacts are almost guaranteed it's a maybe take to me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frumpypigskin Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 What was the strategy @retnab? Was she had to defend? I wonder if Amina is more viable into plant explosives as Hoffman with Howard nearby? Might be better than with MEI? I like the idea of using Amina to put down bombs with the opponent's models. Having Howard nearby then turns on more of the front of her card. Off topic; I'm still not sure about the steamfitter. He's an avenue to do detonate explosives or dig their graves. But so far have been unimpressed with them otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the rest of your crew is armor 1 or 2, the temptation for your enemy to go first for your Def 5 steamfitter is just too big. Edit: Steamfitter is also one of the few that cannot be healed by toolkit/Hoffman/totem/Ryle or even another steamfitter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 And six stones’ worth of no power tokens, which was the killing point for me. I’ll dust off the metal gamin, next time I need a scrap dropping (no flip required) model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not survivable enough to go late in the turn to put down scheme markers. Not impactful enough to bother going early to shield constructs. Plenty of other healing options. Yep. Tough sell. Also confused by medical Auto. Seems like a better hire in the M&SU death ball. Struggle to see living augmented being a thing... And the medical Auto is too slow for most other Arcanists to be of use... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnab Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 @frumpypigskin it was Reckoning, Corners, Breakthrough, Harness the Ley Line, Search the Ruins, Power Ritual, Outflank, vs Mah, and I was the Defender. She actually survived until the last turn, and until then was having a pretty good time creating ss for me, Obeying the Rail Golem to use Off the Rails out of activation, and using Walk the Line to counter Trixie's PITA Lure. That said, Reckoning was definitely a bad strat for her, since all she could offer to help score it was the Obey. Yeah the Medic bot being Augmented felt really weird to me, seemed more of a "it's a robot" decision than giving Hoff any valuable new tools (only really matters for GuildHoff if he's hiring non-constructs, which seems niche?). Steamfitter's a dead model to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 I keep trying with the automaton. There has to be something I’m missing. It came close to doing its passive healing job in a death ball ranged attack setup, but then it was sniped out turn one (and I might have strongly wished it didn’t have blasts bounced off of its carapace into said death ball). I’ve seen it step on the accelerator pedal, activate and companion into the mechanical attendant, and negate an Assassinate run on Hoffman (1 free, 2x healing flips + three turns’ worth of power tokens, mechanical attendant healing flip) but there was no excuse for it still being on the table that late in that game.

frumpypigskin Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I just had steamfitter perform Ok for me. He was sat between Howard, the peace keeper and a wagon just beyond the halfway near the centre turf marker in wedge deployment. Highlight was being able to heal each and then or give shielded as required and place a scheme for search in the same turn. Low light was realising Howard hates blasted negative conditions over his bubble... He carried the magical training buff well.. but then he was the target of take hostage, so that's a thing.

Ellerby Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 So the original post from Wyrd said that ALL 2ed models had been listed. But I can't see Malifaux Raptors anywhere. Am I missing something? I'm new to the game so apologies if it's obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mythicFOX Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Good catch @hemgath . <MODHAT> With the release of M3e I think this topic's run it's coarse and could cause confusion. So to avoid confusion I'm now unpinning and locking the thread. If someone wants to start a new accurate one, happy for them to do that. </MODHAT> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
