Amateur Contender Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) I was listening to one of our many wonderful Malifaux podcasts in order to learn about other crews when the subject of Arik Schottemer came up. The hosts were under the impression that his Gravity Well ability affected Summons. I did a little digging into it, being a Family player and all. And, to me, it doesn't look like Gravity Well has any bearing with Summoning within Arik's 6 inch Aura. Place, as a movement effect, is always presented with a capital "P" as all game terms start with capital letters. However, in the up-to-date rules manual, Summoning mentions placing the summoned model.... placing with a lowercase "p". I like to err in the side of more experienced players, but I'd also hate to bench the Latigos unnecessarily. Is there any information out there that can expand on this?

Maniacal_cackle Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 The rules are not well written enough that you can distinguish between a capital and lower case 'P' I think. So I think most players have gravity well block summons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amateur Contender Posted March 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 Yeah, that makes sense. Though, upon further reflection, Gravity Well doesn't seem too limiting of an Aura. If he's in Perdita's face I can always Summon the Pistolero with Perdita or another model in between Arik and the Lil' Latigo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember that Arik is on a 40mm base, so you need at least a 40mm model to block los. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have fun, but you need either a big model or more than 1 model to have that summoning fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adran Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 both effects are 6" so unless arik is standing on top of Perdita, there WILL be somewhere that is within 6" of Perdita and not Arik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
