Popular Post mattc Posted March 4, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hey Wyrdos! This week, Waldo heard we’d be going to the GAMA Expo. He insisted on coming with, and now we need to try and figure out how to fit an imp into a truck. While we pack up Waldo’s suitcases (most of them are filled with hats; he claims he’ll need all of them in case the sky starts falling), we thought it would be a good time to present: Gaining Grounds Season One! A comprehensive guide for tournaments and official play, Gaining Grounds introduces 4 brand-new Strategies and a slew of Schemes (8 brand-new and 5 old favorites). Casual and competitive gamers alike will benefit, so click here to take a look and start putting together your Crews. But that’s not all; we also have the official FAQ and Errata for Malifaux! This update aims to clarify some questions and add adjustments to some models. Click here to see what’s been changed. The Gaining Grounds Season One Card Pack will also be available soon; this includes all the new Gaining Grounds Schemes, Strategies, and Errata that players will need to keep their games of Malifaux 3E updated. Because Gaining Grounds is a yearly event, the Card Packs are a limited run and won’t be reprinted. Players and distributors will be able to get them from our webstore when we announce their availability. For the digitally inclined, individual cards will soon be available for free on our Malifaux Crew Builder App and for print-on-demand via Wargame Vault. That’s all for now, Wyrdos. Waldo is riding shotgun to the GAMA Expo, so there won’t be a Weekly next week. In the meantime, we’re excited to hear your thoughts! Dive into our community forums to discuss the best ways to start gaining ground in 2020. 13 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solkan Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Best errata/FAQ thread title. 🤯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonewall78 Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 New rules are great. I love how you did the summary sheet with all the changes! On another note those of us that have incomplete factions from M2E are likely like me and having a tough time filling in keyword holes. I have noticed the upcoming page on the website has changed removing a lot of the upcoming boxes. It makes it really tough for people to plan if they should get the new boxes with combined models or if they should hunt down M2E boxes so they don't end up with duplicates. If we could get a sort of list of combined boxes that would be great (even if it is just for models that aren't getting new sculpts). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that I really don't understand how & why Outcasts (especially Tara & Obliteration) have been hit big time with the errata & latest GG1, especially compared with other factions which didn't see as much play testing in beta (i.e. 10T & Bayou) & needed the attention IMO. Sad to say that this is the first time in 5-6 years that I have been loving playing Faux, that I can say that I am very disappointed with what Wyrd has put out in this latest errata. For me M3e is still in its infancy & a scalpel rather than a sledgehammer was needed to sort out some of the clear broken issues. Very surprised & disappointed customer here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me M3e is still in its infancy & a scalpel rather than a sledgehammer was needed to sort out some of the clear broken issues. Very surprised & disappointed customer here. you're sad that your summoning Master doesn't auto-get 4 pass tokens each turn? 10T got gutted (no easy card draw with Kitty, Yasunori got hit with the nerf bat, and Minako has a harder time summoning). Bayou lost their Mah triple focus bomb, as well as Calculating the Possibilities more than once per turn (and not being able to grab jokers). Not to mention the other "always complained about" models getting hit (Agent 46, Soulstone Miners, Steam Arachnid Swarms, Stitched Together, Rusty Alyce, Archie and Shenlong). Yes, there were a lot of changes, but it should lead to a healthier game, and more choices and less auto-includes. My only complaint is that they didn't try and bring some of the less-played models to the table more. But they started, and that's a good thing. 2 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 The changes to Aionus completely wrecks a balanced & fun to play keyword. Personally I don’t give toss about the pass token trigger not being built in (although it makes the buffering ability even more useless now) but a target number of 7 on top all the stutter time Tns is completely impractical in this keyword especially on a 10 stone model that does little else. But if you haven’t played a tara crew before you won’t understand how card intensive she was already. With these changes to Aionus there’s little point in summoning or burying your models as the chance your ever get them back out from the void is greatly diminished...trust me I’ve played a lot of Tara & these changes along with some of GG1 strats will make her non-competitive for tournament play which is disappointing. Re ur point of improving some less played models I can agree...point in case winged plague unchanged & still garbage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turelio Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Looking forward to getting a chance this weekend to sit down and read through this all fully. A few interesting changes that I have seen so far though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scatterbrain Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Saw the changes to my faction coming. 😁 If I order the relevant new cards shortly from Wargame Vault, I hope I will get at least a year's use from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they started, and that's a good thing. If Wyrd is still following their old way of errata in M2E, this time is a urgent patch to fix some broken or NPE models only. There would be another errata around July to tune up under-power models, in M3E-era I believe it would be keyword-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's floppy paper, or liberal use of amendments from my label marker, until then. I'm not being gouged on their shipping to Australia another two times this year.

J4bberw0ck Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Honestly, I’m pretty happy with these changes. The only disappointment to me is that the Outcast upgrades didn’t get any attention. They’re not totally useless, but they definitely need a tweak... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theamazingmrg Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 My main concern is that, apart from the Guard Keyword, which gets a clear buff with the changes to The Dispatcher, the other Guild Keywords are mainly negatively affected (Nefarious Pact on the Enslaved Nephilim is nice though, but the changes to the Frontiersman are very minor -a small heal within 3" instead of Shielded on the active model, and a positive flip on their reaction shot with Deputy) with the nerf to the Rider (which was completely deserved, of course. I'm not sure if the nerfs to the other factions are enough to improve Guild's viability on the whole as their underlying efficiency issues haven't really been addressed. Time will tell, of course.

Ming Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Text of Gamble Your Life changed to: “Enemy only. If this Action fails, this model suffers the effects as though the defending model was taking this Action targeting this model. Target suffers 3/4/5 damage.” In the mentioned case of failure, how do we calculate accuracy modifiers? What if the defender's final duel total is still too low to hit? Can the defending model benefit from the Bloody Fate trigger? What happens if the action is failed due to Terrifying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
