Kotep Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hi there, Please forgive the newb question (even though I really am new to malifaux), but does Barbaros have the flight ability? I ordered myself the mother of monsters crew box, but it hasn't shown up yet. The updated card for download doesn't have that ability...yet the Nephilim box I picked up has flight on both young and mature models. Thanks!

CRC Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 This question comes up so often that I know the answer even though I've never looked at the card. He's under some sort of curse that keeps him permanently young, which also cripples his wings and prevents him from flying. I suspect details are in his entry in the main M2e book.

vonevilstein Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 He has got nimble though, so he's still pretty quick, he just has to go round scenery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uktena Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Humans magically severed the tendons in his wings. In lieu of flight and Nephilim savagery, Barbaros learned to use weapons, armor, and battlefield positioning. He is a terrible opponent that mixes the brutality of the Nephilim with the Human arts of war. The people who forced him into this state have been rewarded with one of the most dangerous Nephilim outside of Lilith and her Sister. PS. Use Nimble to slide around behind opponents you are engaged with and slam them into the waiting arms of Lilith and the Tater Tots using his Macuahuitl.

Hateful Darkblack Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 He's like a Nephilim ostrich: wings but not flight. I wouldn't call him that to his face, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotep Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks for all the replies! Ok, everything makes sense now based on all the fluff, which btw is very interesting. And thanks for tips on how to use his abilities. ...and wouldn't you know it, my models showed up today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uktena Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Despite earning practically zero VP by himself ever, my opponents all get a look on their faces like they smelled rancid meat when they see him on the field. They hate him. Use their hate. Make them deal with him. Fears Given Form and Nexus of Power all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotep Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Thanks again for more tips. I've assembled the crew box and am hoping to use them this weekend for the first time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
