Gryffen88 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I am sorry if this has been discussed before but my search-fu is not very good. I am kinda new to Malifaux... actually I played it back when it first came out but fell out of mini gaming for a bit. I have bought a few of the new crew boxes and love the game history, which keeps me thinking of the game. But here is my issue. I, for some reason, can't seem to wrap my mind around building a Henchmen crew. I bought Ophelia box set. I know she is a henchmen 6. Now I Add the henchmen # (6 in this case) to the total Soulstones I use to buy the crew- so if we are playing 25 I would get 31, correct? I also understand that she would be limited to 6 Soulstones for a pool MAX and ONLY if I dont use the 6 points to buy crew members. So I would still be able to buy up to 25 but if I only got 24 SS points I would lose the other. Correct? Is she limited to Gremlins ONLY? Can I buy pigs? Can I buy mercenaries? Do the pigs or Mercs cost the extra +1 soulstone to use them in the crew? Now over to using the henchmen in a crew lead by a master. the 2 model limit is if I use the (kin) models and NOT the actual henchmen? If I take Ophelia in the crew with the master she cost the soulstone but I am able to the use any # of (Kin) and NOT limited to the 2 models? ARGH! confused!! please help a confused player out! thanks, (and I hope this all makes some sense!!), Gryffen88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the pigs or Mercs cost the extra +1 soulstone to use them in the crew? I am not sure on the merc side but she cannot hire Pigs fullstop. This however does not stop you from hiring a taxidermist and converting corpse counters into pigs Now over to using the henchmen in a crew lead by a master. the 2 model limit is if I use the (kin) models and NOT the actual henchmen? If I take Ophelia in the crew with the master she cost the soulstone but I am able to the use any # of (Kin) and NOT limited to the 2. Not 100% sure on this but as you are hiring her into your crew the usual restrictions would apply. so 2 limit. ARGH! confused!! please help a confused player out! thanks, (and I hope this all makes some sense!!), Gryffen88 Hey mate, I'll answer these as best I can.

WookieeGunner Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Junket, you are almost right. Page 72 of the Rules Manual says that if you have a Henchman that belongs to a crew, the two model limit is lifted, so So'mer hiring Ophelia would lift the limit on the number of Kin he can hire.

Adanedhel Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 one mistake MunkeyKungFu: by taking the Henchman of the specified special forces the 2limit is discarded, I am also not sure about the Henchman stuff, and hope that get's clarified soon enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shank Seamus! Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Correct! Although the Taxidermist /pigapult does work, I highly recommend taking the extra gremlins.. unless your playing deliver message.. SS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephiroa Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 like they said, when using ophelia, you can only get gremlins and kin, easy, and if you use only somer, you can take only 2 kin models, but when taking ophelian you can take every kin model and you cannot take pigs in scraps when you lead with ophelia, but you can take pigs if you lead with somer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
