Dirial Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Also, Dirial. Am I insane, or does the Judge look way more effective than Justice? His triggers are just too nice. The Judge is great. I have never been displeased with his performance. (Yes, that is what she said. Suck it, suckers!) Lady Justice is also a lot of fun, but she is ... unsubtle. Well, in fact she is subtle, as most people forget her condition removal and Minion buff, and they are quite good. But with her, you get what you paid for, which is a big ass sword, and not much else. If you like Finesse models, she is not for you. (If she had Finesse, though...)

Dirial Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yes finesse. Yes combos. All the triggers. My dream is an upgrade that adds the trigger To the Pain to her sword and (0) Finesse to her. Perhaps Menace as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope we see upgrades for existing masters. Those are bound to be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 serious question.. I am looking at planning some purchases when my wages are paid end of month.. Do you use any of the following a lot, or with certain masters? I havent really looked at them in detail and seeing as you guys are more experienced at seeing the synergies, i am bowing to your knowledge. Basically i want to know if it is ever worth buying: Convict Gunslingers Desperate Mercenaries hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetorDragoon Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I have used Desperate Mercenaries a few times. They get the job done. Hilarious action of one was to wildfire at two of the ice mages with fast and 1 wd, (so 3 shots at each with ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I really only use desperate mercs in low SS games, or when I need to spend a few so I'm not wasting SS. Hans is one of my favorite picks for vendetta as long as I can put him out of harms way. Convict gunslingers I use all the time, I just love them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I don't see ever a point to take desperate mercs. Seriously. Those sculpts are cool but they are absolute rubbish. Convict gunslingers? No not really. Trappers are better. Hans? Trappers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetorDragoon Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 The Snipers are overpowered Who thought it was a good idea for them to increase range and gain focus buff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirial Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Zoraida would probably benefit the most from a Gunslinger, just from Obey. Two Convicts, lots of Wicked Dolls, probably a Waldgeist or two just for the trees... Related Note: Through the Breach has the best magic system ever. I think this will have to get moved up the RPG schedule. Mage the Awakening. TtB's is fun, but Mage's? Hot damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Last edition, Desperate Mercs were "Suicide Cruise Missiles" - now, not so much. No seriously they are rubbish. Look at a void wretch and tell me why would you ever hire a desperate merc compared to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolution Black Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 woah..started a cat fight! Pity I am not posting those damned Taylor gifs, have a pretty apt one for that loL! I have made the decision to streamline my Malifaux collection for a few reasons: mainly time, money and ...nope mainly time and money! So will be offloading 8 masters soon lol...

Dirial Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 That said, TtB would probably have a lot more open ended magic - already came up with Immuto ideas that would make sense, but not listed yet. No one trumps Mage in regard of open ended magic. Immuto have nothing on Improvised Spells. Changing a spell's parameters? Why not invent any spell you want?

Absolution Black Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 lol, i do..but i think shipping to the states may be quite expensive?! Thinking of offloading (crew boxes): Nicodem (still boxed on sprue) ...because it will cost a fortune to get everything needed to run him optimally! Rasputina (part built)......had her ages, never finished her so that says something! Ramos (Built but not based)...liked his style, but now still haven't put him on bases! Mei Feng (boxed on sprue)...... Impulse buy, getting rid Misaki (boxed on sprue)...ditto Leveticus (Boxed on sprue) ...pretty much the same reasons as Nicodem Von Schill (boxed on sprue).....gone off it now lol Kirai (built..when i get it back from my builder lol)...waiting an age for the damn spirits! plus a few odd blisters that won't be needed if i offload the above: Hannah (reg, boxed on sprue) Bishop (boxed , on sprue) Lazarus (boxed , on sprue) Strongarm suit (boxed, on sprue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not invent any spell you want? Where "open-ended magic" is defined as "you can basically do whatever you want at any time" ...yeah, Mage will basically win out over all else. A far stretch from the best magic system, though. Sometimes, rules help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Kirai is plastic right? Cuz I'm interested in her, she is the plastic one, but i can't say when i will get her back to pass on..as unfortunately i am not getting any response from my builder...which is unusual..so she will be the last to go i would think..

A far stretch from the best magic system, though. Sometimes, rules help Won't argue over this one. There are rules in Mage, even for Improvising, and I like the magic system a lot. You won't convince me that there is a better one. I have other issues with Mage, and I won't say it's the best game, but the magic is a Schnitzel. lol, i do..but i think shipping to the states may be quite expensive?!

Because I want a Specialist and Trapper rather badly, and would take some models out of the Ramos crew, as well. Thinking about Nicodem. If I lose the scuffle, I'll need the Punks....

To be honest, at the moment i wouldn't want to split up as it may be difficult to offload some of the others but i won't rule it out..i am going to have a think, see what or if single models are going on ebay etc and then make a decision... Ramos is likely to be the easiest to split as it is built. The Von Schill and Nicodem boxes would have to be split..but if there is a market for the individual models, i may do it...just for you! I'll let you know tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I think Praetor has first dibs on the Kirai box..but if you guys have a look through the lists and see what, if anything, individually you want, and when i come on tomorrow , let me know..then if we can sort out postage issues i may be tempted to split it all..

Dirial Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm sure there's a market for VS and his totem, for all the metal owners. Ramos, I'm not sure. And Nico... I won't buy him before the end of May, but if I do, I'll buy the whole box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
