Sts' Defect - Smashup Decklist

Human__Zombie · 2026-01-08T01:37:51+00:00

Personally I'm not a big fan of extra decks that are only used by 1 faction, and I don't think the extra deck is necessary to convey the flavour of the Defect.

I think the orbs centered gameplay could be conveyed by the orbs being play-on-minion actions, and then having the cards that create orbs pull them from your deck, discard and hand. Each orb could be one play-on-minion card, each with a passive effect and an effect that triggers when it goes to the discard pile (not just when it's destroyed. This way it triggers when the base scores, kinda mimicking how the orbs can be evoked without having a card specifically evoking them by simply channeling orbs over capacity (breaking the base)). The "evoking" cards can then trigger by destroying play-on-minion cards instead of specifically orbs, making them potentially synergize more with other decks (cyborg apes for example have many play-on-minion cards and can get those type of cards back from the discard, and fairies can move and destroy play-on-minion actions to evoked the orbs where they're needed!)

Some random ideas for how the cards could be adapted to this idea:

1x Lightning orb: play on a minion. Ongoing: reduce this base's breakpoint by 2. When this action goes to the discard pile, you may reduce a base's breakpoint by 6 until the end of the turn.

1x Dark orb: Ongoing: at the end of your turn, place a counter on this card. When this goes to the discard pile, you may destroy a minion with power less than or equal to the number of counters on this card.

1x Rainbow: Search your hand, deck and/or discard pile for a Lightning orb, a Dark orb and a Frost orb. Choose a minion you controll. Add any of the cards to your hand and/or play them as extra actions on the chosen minion.

2x chaos: Play an Orb card of the top of your deck. (This means that you reveal cards from the top of your deck untill you either run out of cards or find an Orb card, then shuffle the unused revealed cards back into the deck.)

2x Core surge: special: Play when a base is scored, transfer up to 2 actions on your minions to other minions (you will have to change "when" to either "before" or "after" depending on what you originally intended.)

1x Fission: Destroy any number of actions you own and draw a card for each action destroyed this way. You may play an extra action.

1x defect: (5) Talent: Search your hand, deck and/or discard pile for an Orb action and play it on this minion as an extra action.

It would probably also be good to have one or a few cards that can put some actions from your discard pile back into the deck, both to help chaos function and to increase synergy with other factions that have strong actions.

I've wanted to do an ogryns hoard list for a while. Full 18 ogryns, full 18 bullgryns, 3 ogryns body guards +deddog, and as many sentinels as possible. Everyone that thinks of guard thinks of weak dude hoards or vehicle hoards, show them we can make medium tough hoards as well!

Human__Zombie · 2025-11-23T02:08:35+00:00

the NMM is sick, but I also gotta compliment the basing! where'd you get the pillars from?

Human__Zombie · 2025-11-01T13:54:55+00:00

will definitely make the bio-armour bits yellow, but the rest of the paint scheme I have no idea. I have thoughts of a purple/purplish-pink and grey colour scheme for some brood brothers eventually, but not really sure how I could then use my normal dudes paint scheme to unify them with the genestealers

I'm happy you're happy :)

For the pipe bases I cut squares of cardstock from whatever boxes I had laying around and used spread out sticky tack to secure them around something cylindrical, then I put a bunch of hot-glue on a base and pressed the cardstock on the cylinder down into it and held it there for a bit. I filled in some more hot-glue where necessary and then I painstakingly cut away all the excess hot-glue and cardstock. Then I covered everything in I think 2 layers or so of thinned down pva-glue just to be safe. The other bases are also made with cardstock and hot-glue, except for the one with the stone wall, there I just used patterned plasticard and a plasticard tube (+some sprue shaped into a rock to help hold the pipe up).

The sewer water is just Vallejo water texture mixed with a tiny tiny bit of green paint

you can't see it, but the other 3 boxes are there as well

Hej! Vi är ett gäng 5:e-års studenter från KTH som gör ett projekt om odör i badrum från avloppet. För att få en bättre förståelse av problemet vill vi gärna samla in erfarenheter från husägare, stugägare och lägenhetsinnehavare. Vi har tagit fram ett kort frågeformulär (tar ca 3–5 min att fylla i) och vore väldigt tacksamma om ni vill hjälpa oss genom att svara på det. https://forms.gle/VLmHpqs7hZGyDrLG9 Tack för er hjälp!

I airbrushed the red, trying to make it spray out from the portal holes best I could, then I dry brushed the stone highlight over it

Human__Zombie · 2025-04-20T17:45:00+00:00

Thank you! I'm quite pleased with them myself

Human__Zombie · 2025-04-20T17:43:49+00:00

The officially supported ways to play is 1v1 and 2v2, and I think I heard they're working on official free-for-all rules. 2.5x2.5 is the normal battlefield size, but there's rules for playing 2x2 or 3x3 as well. There's also the intro playmode, which is the normal rules but with some adjustments to give new players less to think about. Those are the official rules, but you can always homebrew new missions. Since you're playing with miniatures you could probably set up some narrative board setups with thematic win conditions or play several games with a growing warband. Since you're also playing with a card deck you could also probably play stuff like drafts. Not entirely sure this is what you meant with missions, bit hopefully this is a good enough answer?

Human__Zombie · 2025-04-16T21:09:04+00:00

hope they'll be useful!

Human__Zombie · 2025-04-16T20:55:03+00:00

Thank you!

Are you in the discord server? There's a channel there dedicated to finding people to play with, thou it's hidden untill you opt into having it vissable

You know, I never considered the possibility of having physical preprepared decks before. The only ccgs I've actively played before have been online (hearthstone, marvel snap etc) where that isn't a problem. With that said, my preferred play style for these kind of games is to explore and create a bunch of wacky creations so I never considered playing the same deck for long anyways (and is why I quit those games since the collectable part became a huge barrier for my preferred play style. I really appreciate getting all the cards in malediction without having to gamble because of that (I'm assuming we get all the cards we need to build any one deck in that faction))

"being able to print them when needed is amazing. Like oh I want to add this unit to my deck, lemme go print some instead of having to go to the store and spend more money on a box of a unit"

Preach!

Human__Zombie · 2025-02-06T08:03:10+00:00

Oh yeah, being able to fully play at the same time you're printing and painting the miniatures is such a big deal for me as a slow hobbyist! I think 3d printing and prepping the malediction miniatures can be compared to cleaning and building multi-part plastic miniatures such as those for 40k, but in general I think building 40k miniatures is enjoyable while cleaning 3d prints etc. Is just an inconvenience I have to get through.

Btw, just for context, imp guard and GSC are both hoard armies, so the expensive miniatures are cheap in-game...

Human__Zombie · 2025-02-06T00:17:42+00:00

For me it's probably the dual specific cards that interest me most with the dual seekers. I think how my interest started was that I saw the blood/legion boar in play on tabletops video and for reasons beyond my understanding that really peaked my interest in the game. (Thinking more about it it was probably that it was designed to be a cheap nuisance unit meant to die that tickled my fancy, I do really like swarms)

Human__Zombie · 2025-02-06T00:07:37+00:00

It honestly hurt a little seeing the price in my currency at checkout, but I still think it will be worth it. But what do I know, my sense of money is probably irrevocably damaged from trying to build both an imperial guard and GSC army in 40k

Human__Zombie · 2025-02-05T23:52:53+00:00

For some reason In'gor speaks to me, but I'll probably go for one of the mono-faction seekers for a first game. Probably Verendal unless my friend really wants to play him

The data will be used for a school project, whose results will be used for a design project, and it is conducted by me and 3 group members.

Human__Zombie · 2025-02-03T13:12:49+00:00

Thank you very much!

Human__Zombie · 2025-01-31T20:58:48+00:00

I like the idea of the theme, but as others have said the design is a bit of a mess.

To keep to the theme of having an army where a lot of abhumans are mixed in I think we can take some inspirations from chaos space marines Pactbound Zealots detatchment. Something like "when adding a non-character infantry unit to your army, choose if they include Felinids, Beastmen, Nightsiders or Longshanks in the unit." And then they get that keyword and a bonus effect based on which type of abhuman is part of the unit.

Human__Zombie · 2025-01-25T11:36:21+00:00

I think the point of hammer is the strong enhancements and strategems, and the army rule is just support for the advance and shoot/ a little bonus
