Breng77 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Sometimes I feel like the 2 upgrades should switch some abilities. make trail the speed upgrade (+3 walk, charge for a 1 action, and melee expert) and domain be the beater upgrade (+2 df, +2 damage, positives to attack flips). i think it would be mor balanced as it seems that the best abilities overall are. +3 walk+2 damage+2 dfmelee expert. with the other 2 being situational.

anumberone Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Yeah, I agree with you there. I want to try out Trail in a couple of games because it seems great but I love how survivable +2 Def and the regenerate 1 makes Marcus, especially taking Protection to give him Def 8. He might not take out anything other than scheme runners but 1 ap for a 10 inch charge is a ton of bang for your buck. I've only played a couple of games with Marcus and I'm sure that I will change my tune. Just loving God's Domain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just loving God's Domain.Haha....this is why they're both great upgrades. Some people gravitate toward the more killy Trail....others toward the more supportive Domain.Marcus....a master done right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just loving God's Domain.I felt the same when I started playing Marcus, but often found that going to Df 7 or 8 made regen not as needed. It also meant the rest of your crew pulling a lot of the weight as Marcus himself was not as flexible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertmac Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Couple of questions. 1. Blessed of december. Why take it over a cerberus? 2. Rogue Necromancy. Seems less mobile than most other beasts but fairly good at staying alive, good carrier of pack leader? 3. Do people take feral instincts and hunger cry often generally one or the other to fit arcane resevoir in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people take feral instincts and hunger cry often generally one or the other to fit arcane resevoir in? 1. Different jobs. The cat is awesome at fire and forget....great for taking out some high priority target but if you can't protect it, the inevitable counter attack will neuter it (by reducing it to less than half wounds)....seriously, that plus flip is what it's all about. The BoD however is more defensive and you can count more on it to survive and do it's job to the end of the game....it's attack is not as powerful as the Cerberus, but it has the same repeating attack trigger, plus some other useful triggers....it's tougher to take down with it's better defenses and it can heal back to full. Personally, I usually take the BoD over the Cat, then when I need the cat that's what Myranda turns into. Also, the BoD is my favorite Pack Leader carrier.....her defenses usually let it stay on the table all game....her Ht, speed, and maneuverability allow me to make sure she stays in LoS to the beasts I want to get the bonus (I rarely have anything out of LoS to the BoD honestly). BoD is auto-include for me in my Marcus lists...she has always been my MVP. 2. Great model....but expensive. It's low defense is a problem....models with high Wk damage will make short work of it. You can't just throw it in and expect it to survive for long....shoot first, then go in when it's time. Due to this personal mentality on its use, it wouldn't be my first choice for Pack Leader....it may last long enough to get good use out of it, so it shouldn't be ignored as a choice, but it probably won't last the entire game. 3. I always take all 3 of Marcus' personal upgrades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertmac Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Would you suggest stalking 2 models between the cerberus and necro to get it extra movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always throw Stalk out there....you don't have to make the move if you don't want to. I don't like that you have to move your full movement (end as close as possible to the enemy)....most times it will take you out of cover and just put you in jeopardy....but it can very occasionally be useful.

bertmac Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 So Howl gives a condition. If the non beast becomes a beast does it then get +2wp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct. Domesticate can help here, especially against anything lower than a Henchman (that can't burn SS).....a +2 Wp on a Neg Flip doesn't help a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertmac Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 So took a list with 3 hoarcats vs a guild crew of mostly ortegas. Worked out really well was interference and the damage potential plus the inbuilt defences vs sh attacks came in very handy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertmac Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Had a good game vs Shenlong tonight. Marcus with trail, resevoir, feral upgrades. Myranda with imbued energies and pack leader. Cerberus, imbued energies. Blessed. Jackalope. December acolyte. Silurid. Strat was headhunter and originally the plan was to use the silurid to pick up heads but make them suffer was in the schemes so i kept it out of the way. Won 10-5 with protect territory and frame for murder letting schlong kill marcus turn 2. I was able to pick apart the rest of his crew with myranda the blessed the cerberus and another cerberus summoned from myranda who killed a katanaka sniper thanks to poison. Both imbueds gave me cards which were much needed as my turn 2 hand was gash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertmac Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Anyone charged Marcus and just passed off attacks to something he's already made into a beast with his df trigger? Good way around the df trigger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good way around the df trigger! Do you mean you want to turn an opposing model into a beast, then purposefully hit Marcus to hurt that model instead? It doesn't work, since Defend Me only triggers if Marcus is hit by an enemy model. (If Marcus gets hit by an enemy attack, you can pass the effects to an enemy beast, but that's more than situational IMO.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertmac Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Ah no worries. So would it work if i was being attacked by one of my own models due to obey? I did that this week but I may have cheated my opponent doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Are you being attacked by an enemy model? The answer in the case of Obey is still no. The model under obey still treats the same models friendly and enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertmac Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Ah gutted feel bad now as it ended up doing severe damage to his lazarus. Don't think it affected the outcome but certainly could've made the final score closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey3977 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Tough game for me today. This was my first real game with no assistance from those around me...and it showed haha. 50ss, Recon with Distract, Deliver Message, Entourage and Body Guard available. I took: Marcus - Feral Instincts, Hungry Cry and Trail of the Gods Myranda - Imbued Energies Cerberus Waldgeist Waldgeist Silurid Canine Remains Canine Remains Jackalope I was up against Lady J, Judge, 2x Death Marsh, Crutchstringer, 2x Ronin, Lawyer and Scales. I opted for Deliver Message and Entourage. My opponent opted for Line in the Sand and Deliver Message. Things started off great as a multi charge saw the Cerberus drag Lady J down kicking and screaming but that was my only real win for the game as I made a plethora of mistakes that allowed my opponent back into the game - including killing Lady J before I delivered the message...even though I could have easily done it for 3VP - poop!

Lotofag Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hello. In The Trail of the Gods when you reset a card with the suit to get the ability. Is it possible to get all abilities if you reset three books? Or always just the one choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breng77 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 You get the first choice of ability for free, then you can discard a tome for each additional ability. So if you discard two tomes you can get all 3 abilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane13 Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I just finished painting up my M2e Marcus crew box. And im going to get my first game of Malifaux with him next week. Any advice on what I need to focus on the most to get the most out if his starter box during the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarSol Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 So, I've been toying with Marcus crews and get 90% towards a setup I really like before I get stuck. Any suggestions on what I should do with the last 6 SS here? Marcus - Trail - Hunger - Feral Jackalope Myranda+IE Blessed+Pack Leader Silurid Waldgeist Canine Remains Guild Hound ??? Also, how important are double Canine remains these days with all the Hound options? I've got one from McMourning and wasn't sure if there was much need for a box of 3 more.
