"I'm a dead guy, made from the bones of a hundred dead guys!" Malifaux thread general

I just do an image search for "Malifaux Avatar" and most of the pics that come up are what your looking for.

I imagine a warping or Ophelia's avatar.

>I had this idea of a crazy cat lady Sebastian or Feline Remains

This needs to happen

It would go well with Dr. Dufresne

As far as alternate models and the like I'm like to see a Raethford box. It can have his scenario adding to it including a Trough the Breach adventure and his model can have a 'counts as Rasputina' card in addition to his scenario card. Definitely have some twisted looking Ice Gamin and he likes the Ice Golem. Not sure what else to throw in there, Maybe an alternate Ice Dancer and December Acolyte, just one of each to round it out.

Ask Wyrd.
I assume they'd tell you.
I think you need a home store too.

Hooooly shit, he's a beast.
It would be pretty cool to have a model for him, yeah.
Or have him as a 13ss Henchman, maybe?
He'd be a little less horrifying without the guaranteed 3rd AP to Slow>Paralyze>Kill a model in a single turn.

The summoning is very expensive and not fantastically consistently useful unless he's burning through hundreds of stones, which is again balanced if he's not a Master and is competing with the Master for stones and high cards.

Aaaand holy shit he starts with Armour +5 how did I miss that.

15ss cost?

He'd be nobbed against Armour ignorers and suit-removers.
Well, not-as-good. Still deleting models left and right.

Henchman here. That's about it. Report your events and demos, acquire soul stones. You don't even need to do one every month. Once every 3 is all that's required.

>LE model suggestions (funny ideas for the next limited edition model)
Do we have a Miss Andry yet?
We could have a alt. female Seamus with a bunch of scantily clad undead male hookers.

This or Chippendale zombies.

>This or Chippendale zombies.
I can dig it. Gotta justify those 8 wounds and hard to kill. lol

Also Seamus would be cute as a girl. Sort of the crazy tsundre girl taken to 11. And cute freckles.

I haven't played since 1E. I have an unused metal Lord Chompy Bits, although he came with just the shoulder Dreamer, but without regular standing Dreamer on base.

Did I just have bad luck or was it intended?

Also, what do I need to run him, aside from regular plastic starter box.

>Chippendale zombies.
That would be hysterical.

I really wish I had gotten on those TTB kit belle proxies I was planning on, "Rotten Beaus".

What would Madame Sybelle be?

Obviously an overweight zombie pimp, instead of an overweight zombie madam.

You'll need a separate Dreamer.

The basics for Dreamer are his summons: Daydreams, Alps, and Coppelius are in the box. Stitched Together, Insidious Madness, Lelu and Lilitu you'll get separately. You can summon Teddy but you'll need Tannen to make it work.

Beyond that, Neverborn staples like Doppelganger and Waldgeists are solid. Widow Weaver, Kade, Hooded Rider/Nekima, Emissary, Beckoners are all good options.

A bit of progress done.

Becoming a henchman souds interesting. There doesn't seem to be much of a community yet in my area. My LGS even took Malifaux out of the store...
Might be interesting to try and expand upon it, but on the other hand...so much work...

What are the staples for the outcasts?
I'm going to dive in and either get the von schill, Victorias or the Tara box.
Besides glue, a knife, clippers and a ruler what else would I need?

>Tannen
How does he summon Teddy?

Vanessa, lazarus, and Aionus are the three I constantly see above what's in those boxes. Tara Box is great, because Void Wretches are A+ scheme runners, especially with Aionus to give them fast. Von Schill box is solid - you'll want the Specialist and the Librarian eventually, and the man himself isn't bad. Viks get you Taelor, who is worth the price of admission alone, but not much else unless you're specifically running the Sisterhood.
Tannen can give you +2 to all flipped (not cheated) Masks, in return for -2 to all flipped (not cheated) Tomes.

You need to know the rules well enough to not inadvertently create a homebrew league when players need rulings. And that's not as easy as it sounds if you've interacted with half of those henchmen fucks.

Wait, not cheated? Are you sure? It says flipped or played. Playing a card is the same as cheating one in, right?

Looks pretty good. I don't think I like the stubble though.

>Tannen can give you +2 to all flipped (not cheated) Masks, in return for -2 to all flipped (not cheated) Tomes.
The wording is flipped or played, so cheated cards count. The card actually gas to have a mask though, so the RJ doesn't count, and masks added by soul stone usage don't count.

I-It's part of the model. There's a horn growing out from his shoulder pushing against the fabric.
Yes.

That's what I was getting confused by, thank you. I knew there was some weirdness, and I thought it was 'not cheated' for some reason.

That sounds like it warrants a story time.

Henchmen fucks? I'll suggest that for the next run of our shirts.

Correct that spending a soul stone doesn't trigger leave it to luck but the red joker can if you choose masks as the wild suit. The RJ counts as whichever suit you choose. It should be in the FAQ which I can't check now.

Which masters are consideres bad/hard choinek for new players?

You are correct, the FAQ states that the suit chosen is considered to be printed on the red joker.

From a financial point of view any summoner.
Just off the top of my head these masters are probably the most beginner unfriendly; Lucius, Jack Daw, Shenlong, Leviticus.

Desolation engine should really have looked closer to the simulacrum than a flesh golem. Both versions are pretty bad and look nothing like a bunch of fused abominable humans.

Lady Justice gets a bad rep as well as Mah.

I agree. They aren't bad models, they just don't look like what you'd think.

Lady J is okay.
Mah is under-powered though.

Is Rogue Necromancy any good?

Yes. Especially if you can make it for free from Spare Parts.

It's pretty thoroughly okay.

Well I don't play McMourning, wondering if it's worth taking in a list for Seamus or Nico. I think I'd rather just take an Emissary every time though.

He's not bad with Seamus, but Yin is also important to him and they're both expensive. Nico would much rather have the emissary, but with his minion summoning pool you can kind of get away with a more elite core. If you want to go the Spare Parts route, you only really want to do it on non-corpse users, so McMourning, Seamus, and Molly mostly.

>but with his minion summoning pool you can kind of get away with a more elite core.
That's why I try to squeeze in Toshiro or even Izamu.

Thanks.

...

What goes well with Seamus? Stuff that triggers Wp duels, so Yin and Hanged, but how else to fill out his crew?

New scenarios for Divergent Paths are up. I will win something for Outcasts! Just wondering who's first!

belles and dead doxies

Anyone mind posting their rooster riders? I'm trying to work on mine right now but chickens are so fucking colorful and holy fuck I thought it would be easier to paint a rooster. Want to see what you guys have done for them.

The crew I run with Seamus is

Seamus -- 4ss
+Corpse Bloat - 2ss
+Red Chapel Killer - 1ss
+Sinister Reputation - 1ss
Copycat Killer - 3ss
Datsue Ba - 8ss
+Spirit Beacon - 1ss
+Spirit Whispers - 1ss
Nurse - 5ss
Rotten Belle - 5ss
Rotten Belle - 5ss
The Hanged - 9ss
Yin The Penangalan - 8ss

The idea behind the list is that people are going to fail WP duels and corpse bloat hurts like a sack of hammers. Seamus can also run around doing his Teleport focus shoot funtimes because of the Seishin that you can put as a wall in front of him to block LOS.

I'll be honest I went with a Bluish black for mine. I just didn't think I could do mottled well.

They can't say I didn't do my job last week, won a game for the the child and the Man, for outcasts. I hope we can pull it together.

Speaking of outcasts though, and Freikorps specifically, I decided after chatting with a bunch of my local players yesterday and Pitching them the idea (and hearing no complaints) that I would be making a Brotherhood of Steel Freikorp crew. I'm actually really looking forward to putting it together and painting it all up.

I won for trickster and child. And let's make it happen. Because Leveticus needs another waif. Also brotherhood of steel freikorp sounds amazing! I tried my hands at a power rangers set up, but it only partially worked.

I'll be honest I saw that Molly had a storyline for the child and I really want to do that one. But I'm gonna stick with Outcasts. I think Jack Daw could be good for the Man and the Woman, but I don't know about the child. I may go with misaki and Do my best to kill everything before the end of the game so that I can just pick them up at my leisure. Or maybe I should go with something like Laz and Rusty to get a bunch of grenades out.

also on the note of the BoS Freikorps. The only ones I'm really having trouble with coming up with something for are Von Schill (who I think I'm just going to do up in something like the pristine T-51b armor) and the strong arm suit Who I need to hunt down a powerfist for.

Trappers are going to be Regular BoS with either an elongated laser rifle, or a regular sniper rifle, Librarians are going to be in The "ant armor" (X-01 w/ a plasma gun), and the specialist is going to be one of the Heavy duty dudes with a Gatling laser.
Got an eyebot for the steam trunk, and I've got a mr. Gutsy and a robotron to run as some extra stuff (maybe Mr. gutsy as Laz?)

Honestly, I was tempted to. But I'm stayin' loyal! gotta get the Scrip, Gotta get the stones!
Very nice! I'll be keepign an eye out.

Thanks bro

Np, That list made one of my friends legit rage. It's solid.

I've been trying a bluish black for mine but the fucking sheen on these birds is hard to replicate. Been washing down a metalic blue I have.

Looks good, and since I have Kirai I pretty much have everything to run it. Didn't think of using Datsue Ba and Senshins with Seamus before.

All I did was airbrush Coal black and go over it with a nuln oil wash.

Oh user be a dear and tell me where you got those plants from please.

Not the same user but the question has come up before, most of them are aquarium plants bought on sale for cheap and cut up. The corn stalks are model train plants/scenery.

you can find some of the train stuff here: hobbylinc.com/cgi-bin/s8.cgi?cat_s=UPD&tag2_i=1396

>water lily set
>spend an hour scuplting shitty water lilly's
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Fuck I could have just bought them

In addition to aquarium plants there are also a bunch of fake plants from Micheal's that have been cut up and put on there.
Thank you other user. Speaking of JTT plants though I just picked up some more dried corn and some pumpkins for a "abandoned farm" that I'm gonna be putting together.
Sucks to suck

So what is a good all rounder 50ss jack daw crew?

So, we had a bit of an odd situation tonight. The Claw, the Titania minion, wound up unbiuried on top of a building due to Tara shenanigans. A Void Wretch was down on the ground beneath it, and the Claw walked to the edge of the roof and used Challenge of Winter to try to push it into base contact. The Void Wretch normally would've stopped at the base of the wall, because it was Impassible, but being Incorporeal it ignored that. So...Where does it stop? Does it "push" upwards even though the walls aren't climbable?

"The pushed model cannot pass through impassable objects (such as other models, or walls) or climb."
page 43 of the big rulebook.
I'd guess it would still push towards the claw and probably be under it inside the building.

I took a picture of the stuff I painted over the weekend but lighting fucked me.
Does anyone know the release date for the Arcane Emissary and the Wind Gamin? Wyrd site didn't say and Miniature Market just says pre-order.

I would say that that because of incorporeal the Wretch does not need to climb to reach the top of the building, so it would end up at the top in base contact with The Claw.

Malifaux is a top down game and there is nothing in pushes that completely eliminates changing elevation, for example being pushed 'up' a hill that is not impassable.

Nicely done user! Those are some fabulous minis!

Dreamer
Ramos
Lilith
Seamus

I have narrowed it down to one of those 4. Can someone with experience with them give me a brief overview of these? Perhaps with some hints how to expand from the box set of each?

Thanks man.

I was also working on this, but it's absolutely a WIP.

>Dreamer
Insidious madness, stitched together, widow weaver, more alps, lelu & lilitu, teddy, doppelgänger.
>Lilith
Almost anything in neverborn, Lilith is the good all rounder of her faction, if you want a thematic grow list though....
Young/mature nephilim, doppelgänger, primordial magic, lilitu, nekima, black blood shaman if you are feeling froggy.
> Ramos
Mech rider, and more spiders. Large arachnids are good but pretty much any construct works well with him.
>Seamus
Most people will tell you doxies are the next purchase, but I run Seamus kind of differently (I posted my list earlier in the thread) so I'm just gonna go over some good stuff to have in ressers in general then the extras I got for Seamus.
Staples: nurses, 1 hanged (I would probably not have 2 if the box didn't come with 2), seishin (kirai, datsuba, and Anna Lovelace all summon them they are good to have), and the Seamus box set as it comes with 3 rotting belles and madam sybelle, the belles can make it into any list especially with a nurse to give them hallucinogens.
Seamus list: as I said earlier I play Seamus kind of differently, taking advantage of the fact that fail Wp duels heal him hence I take a hanged and corpse bloat. Stuff that isn't on the staples list are Datsuba, who I bring for summoning seishin and causing more horror and wp saves. And yin to hand out negative twists on Wp and just generally be a pain. Other than that I like to take a nurse, two rotting belles, and the copycat killer. The list is strong and once you have it figured out quite tough to play against in most strategies because Seamus chooses a section of the board and makes it a pain to go into.

>Dreamer
Summons and supports nightmares, can turn into Lord Chompy Bits to reposition or kill stuff. Add-ons: Lelu and Lilitu, insidious madness, stitched together, Teddy, widow weaver, doppelganger

>Ramos
Summons spiders to overwhelm enemies with numbers. OP as fuck. Add-ons: moar spiders, Johan, December Acolytes, mechanical rider and her summons (gamin)

>Lilith
High mobility, highly versatile, can murder people, reposition friends or enemies, debuff/debilitate enemies. Add-ons: Primordial Magic, doppelganger, Nekima, black blood shamans, young and mature Nephilim, Waldgeists, Graves, Lelu and Lilitu

>Seamus
Teleports around killing things with his hand cannon, summons Belles, can create a crazy horror abuse crew that can shut down whole crews. Add-ons: Doxies, Yin, Hanged, Emissary, Datsue-ba, Crooligans/Necropunks, dead rider

KInda like this, but less shitty.
Trixiebelle gleefully wasting 'shine and bullets, while Ophelia just hangs in there.

> This was a bad idea.
> Getting motion sick.
> My head hurts.
> I wanna get off.

Proxy for the Emissary?

>Decided to grab Von Shill box
>go to LGS
>sold
>box that was catching dust for ages
damn my luck, i guess I'll have to either wait or just impulse-buy anything else just to start playing

I have the Tara box coming in the mail and I picked up some void wretches to practice painting while I wait. What should I get next? Does the Tara box come with dead of winter?

So. Shenlong.
What are the benefits of him lighting himself on fire?

Don't fuck up and over do Monthly events, and make sure to have a variety of events too.

Death Marshals, Hannah, Scion?

High River Style lets him do more damage based on his burning, increase hours duel totals, or pass the burning ofg.

Thanks guys.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

Also just had my first game with the starter set.
Only negative thing I can say right now, is that shuffeling the decks takes you a bit out of the game. But I guess later on that will be valuable time, spent thinking about the next few moves in a real game.

Question from last thread:

Can a buried model be sacrificed?
I can't tell by the big rule book since it just says being buried is removed from play (usually placed on stat card) and sacrificed is being removed from play but doesn't count as killed.

After reading the wind gamin thing from the wiki, it talks about them being sacrificed while they're buried.

Can someone give me some tips about gremlins crews? How do they play? What should I buy with each starter? I'm mostly interested in Brewmaster and Ophelia.

Yes, but you'll have to remember that most actions are going to require you to target the buried model. So while you can sacrifice it, you probably can't actually target it with the ability to cause it to sacrifice.
(A problem for all but a few models in the game)

Never knew about that ability, thanks for the heads up. Hopefully it's a case of abilities overriding basic rules, but if not that's really disappointing.

It might be just because of that rule, though. I'm a newer player and don't know the rules very well.

I don't think there's anything in the rules that prohibits them being sacrificed. It just didn't normally happen, because only a limited number of models can effect buried models.

Sure, if there's an action or ability that says you can. Wind Gamin spring to mind.
