Stern Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Cardiff, Wales. Nothing banned or house rules. Although each of us carries a grudge against at least one unit ... Same story up in the midlands (Maelstrom and Portal clubs) nothing banned, nothing special, I agree that everyone in the UK (or the whole community) hates one unit or master in particular (I personally hate the Shikome/s). I would never consider banning anything... Everything can be beaten, its about strategies not just killing people! although people trying to 'netlist' and play the 'best builds' is looked down upon, despite you can't really do that with MoFo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Laughing Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Honolulu, Hawaii: No banned models. Our biggest house rule is that the entire terrain section of starting/setting up an encounter is more or less ignored primarily due to our current selection of terrain and partially due to the overall newness of our Malifaux group (few of us, not including me, were playing prior to Rising Powers). Some players (due to the same newness/small collections and prior experience with other games) also self handicap by preselecting their crews, prior to strategy(and even opponent) selection, but that's not really a house rule. There's also an opinion that playing against Hamelin is unfun (to the point of suffering Pandora's "Self Loathing" spell and wanting to shiv one's own face), though I doubt he'll actually get banned...

dgraz Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Long Island, New York No bans, no house rules. However, we're pretty laid back - we only have one NB player and he only plays Lilith and Zoraida. Most players think Jack Daw is broketastic (me included) and no one uses him.

Just be glad your NB player doesn't use the Alp Bomb becuase Jack is quite balanced in comparison.(Played against both and Jack can be dealt with or avoided. So no exaggerations here.)

dgraz Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Wow. Just be glad your NB player doesn't use the Alp Bomb I am, that's why I noted the NB player specifically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osoi Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 No model bans or house rules over here, havent found the need for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Tinyville, Schweden. No banned models. We did house rule reconnoiter at the last tourney, since 25 stones felt a bit too tight to be able to claim 4 corners. Instead, it was enough to have a model in each corner, opponent models didn't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mawdrigen Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Reading, UK, Southampton Street Day of Malifaux. No Models Banned, When flipping board effects if the effect massively penalises one player over another it is discarded, due to terrain requirements Indoor boards can be reflipped to outdoor depending on what they are. Our meta so far is fairly limited however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 who is that master? SHO'NUFF!! ...I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself... No bans in Fredericksburg, that I know of. (To contribute to the discussion.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonedog-7 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 No bans or houserules in Hastings, UK That said there's all of 4 of us, slowly getting a couple more showing interest, and we play for fun, so the Lilith player doesn't touch the full on grow list or Lilitu/Nekima lure shenanigans, i dont break out Pandora often (particularly not with Lilitu) unless someone literally asks for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 No Bans/rule changes at our club in canterbury, although in an apparently bizzare meta twist, the list that is feared the most, and now only brought out in Tournements is a Justice crew.

CannonFodder Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Montreal Quebec ( Gamersvault ) No official banned, or permanent house rulings. We make a couple house rules, then post here for final ruling. Until officially overturned they stick. No officials banning, but we have social banning. were if someone always brings the same over powered force we just don't play against them. Occasionally there is a guy from a suburb who comes in and might play 1 game in a full Saturday because he only plays overpowered cheese. Most other players try the cheese once then shelve it. Alp Bombs, everyone gets one game with these before they realize the cheese. Only 2 players play Colette, I'm one and the duet is fine in her list, but I admittedly am only pulling it out once in a while because I feel dirty, I have not seen anyone play duet in other lists.

marshimartian Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Waynesboro, PA ( Neverland Games ) No bans or house rules. I'm the only one who plays dreamer, and alps stay shelved in general. We did house rule 8VP max before rules manual because of Daw abuse (variety, please?)

alienated one Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Atlanta, GA reporting in. We have no banned models or lists. I personally refuse to play the slaughter strategy, and we don't play slaughter in our tournaments here. Not sure about the other store in town, though, since I dont play there.

huntroll Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Cantina Klub, Budapest, Hungary No bans, no house rules. I have to say that I like it this way, even though I hate to play against half the Neverborn masters, I hate house ruling even more... If somebody always takes the same cheesy list (e.g. Alp Bomb, FILTH) you can simply avoid playing him, but there is no reason to ban a model entirely. Fortunately our gaming club doesn't have any tryhards like that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromorph Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Metro Detroit, MI Nothing banned, and no house rules. However, there are certain taboo kinda models/crews...JD, Hamelin, Dreamer, etc which don't really see use outside of tournaments. I still use JD with Kirai/Levi but I won't use Hamelin and Odin won't use Colette unless it's a tournament...in which case, prepare to cry, haha. Dora the explora is is indeed. Huh, my guess was starts with H and ends with Amelin, but they're both pretty equally unfun to play against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 We houseruled here, that buried models don't keep their abilities activated and pop out with them activated thus giving some of them extra AP through this. Otherwise no changes or banned models down here in Berlin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobek Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Chesapeake, VA & Newport News, VA No banned models. (Although there are some that people whine about occassionally) The only house rule that I can think of is dealing with the number of pieces of 'special' terrain when setting up a board. To make things interesting, we allow one piece of special terrain for every player past the first. ie, if we're playing a 4 person game, 3 pieces of special terrain are allowed.

Ratt Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I can't believe that the Coryphee Duet got banned somewhere... in a recent game I had Seamus v Collette, I took in Taelor as my opponent has a history of taking such things... Turn one, Activate one, activate the other, dance together, move, end up in my deployment zone... Turn two, Taelor walks over, smacks the bejesus out of the duet. Melee expert strike again, smacks the bejesus out of the duet. Duet dead. Opponent left with jaw on table... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorian Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Rochester, NY. No Banned models, No house rules. Also this deeply saddens me: We've had a Dreamer player basically quit playing Malifaux because he felt bad playing this crew and realized how unfun it was for everyone else. The way I read this is a player was driven from the game for playing the list he enjoyed. Were he a power-player or try hard he probably would not have quit. For people complaining about alp bombs I can offer advice for ressers & outcasts but I don't play the other factions enough to contribute much but I will try: Ressurectionists: Crooked men & Punk zombies are REALLY good at taking out a lot of alps all at once. Outcasts: Try Freikorps specialist, Pere Ravage, stuffed pig bacon bomb, take a look at Sue & wait for him. Arcanists: Snowstorm Guild: Ryle The strategy I have found that works is to bring blast or models who can take out multiple models in a single activation. Yes the alp bomb list hurts but it is entirely one dimensional. It has one trick & if you can stop it then enemy is utterly decimated. Also you can just spread out to minimize its effect.
