DeleteAccount Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Basically, what the title says. Pretty much me hoping that the happy guys at gencon come over here after digesting some of the new content and share any big changes that might have occurred since the last beta files we saw. I bag fat honking thanks to anybody that wishes to contribute to this thread. Since this is a day early for the con (sue me, I'm European, I'm technically in the 15th already), please add all the useless banter and wild baseless speculation you want to spruce up the thread till something more concrete comes out of the oven.

Jonas Albrecht Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 The biggest difference I've noticed so far is that the forward from Eric is a plea to keep Razhem in the dark about the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 please add all the useless banter and wild baseless speculation you want to spruce up the thread till something more concrete comes out of the oven. Well if you insist. I have it on good authority that... 1. Death Marshalls got their well deserved Nerf and are now Df3, Wp3. 2. Rasputina needed a slight boost, so her Decembers Curse now ignores cover and has an 18" range. 3. They were looking to add another unique, never-before tried twist to the game, so killing the opposing Master is now an auto-win for the player. 4. You now roll 10-sided dice for a few key things, like Horror Duels, Simple Duels and Opposed duels. I think a few SS costs changed, but I was too busy finding an excuse to Ban Ausplosions to really notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalkris Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Fear not, Professor! I read on page 1337 of the M2E rulebook ("Uncut, Wet, and Wild" - It was only $100 more!) that anyone who uses the name Ausplosions in any forum is banned forever from playing Malifaux, even casually. Awwww don't worry, 'Splodey, we love you. ~Lil Kalki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really?... THE FIEND! Rathnard, your baseless speculation sounds incredibly solid and I would call MADNESS if it was not true. I've also heard from reliable sources that Ramos will be able to summon 3 Howard Langstons from a scarp counter since they will now count as steam arachnids. Nicodem will still be the best summoner with the ability to summon himself in various sassy swimsuit poses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalkris Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Nicodem will still be the best summoner with the ability to summon himself in various sassy swimsuit poses. Oh god yes. I.... I.... There are no words that can come from my mouth to declare how amazingly twisted that is. XD ~Lil Kalki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Nicodem will still be the best summoner with the ability to summon himself in various sassy swimsuit poses. Why am I picturing the Colette Avatars with head swaps. In fact more importantly, how can I stop picturing this?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adran Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Well they appear to have changed the name of the Drake to Dawn Serpent... Foundry workers seem to be rail workers once more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Puppet Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Time to apply the mind bleach No, "vodka" [sic] just makes them look slightly more appealing... I think either works then, you just get very different results! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcalla Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 . Nicodem will still be the best summoner with the ability to summon himself in various sassy swimsuit poses. If this isn't next years Nightmare edition model I'll be very disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindlordRyu Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 2. Rasputina needed a slight boost, so her Decembers Curse now ignores cover and has an 18" range. It doesn't ignore LoS vs Paralyzed targets? BS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypoking Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Particular areas of interest are Ophelia, her upgrades, and the kin in general. Inquiring minds want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrabbit37 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I asked one of my buddies for a couple of things about Lilith (since that's one of my favorites): 1. Lilith is Ml7 naturally 2. The upgrade that increased her Ml and reach reduced to cost 2 3. Waldgeist forests do NOT have Dense 4. Black Blood Pustule does a flat 2 damage to enemy models rather than 1/3/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Any changes to the growth mechanic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalaric Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 A few more goodies while I've got a keyboard: Ramos - Summon the Swarm now reduces by armor again, with reminder text. December Acolyte - the Sh on his harpoon gun is now Sh 6. Steam Arachnid Swarm - picked up a new trigger on his melee attack: :masks Carry Away: After damaging, push the target 4" directly away, then push this model into base contact with the target.

rancor709 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Good to hear both on Lilith and Ramos. Any reader tide bits like flesh construct. Or anything else say decaying aura? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteAccount Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Thanks for the nuggets guys! I'd also like to query if there was anything changed with Misdirection or anything related to McMourning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindlordRyu Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'm adding Death Marshals, Nino, Jady J and her upgrades, and Torakage to the request pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valtyr Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'm seconding the request for Misdirection and Torakage news. I'm also particularly interested to hear if Misaki and Shang have undergone any major changes. - Valtyr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Blood Pustule does a flat 2 damage to enemy models rather than 1/3/4 Very glad to hear this! Living Blade was an auto-include in it's beta form. Now it's still great, but no longer a requirement for her. I'm a little sad to see the Waldgeist forests lose dense, but it was needed I think.
