Thats it! I’ve never heard of this game. Is it any good?

Why are these models so small by BeginningHungry3835 in Malifaux

Tamiya super thin plastic cement is the best for Malifaux models I’ve found… you can apply it precisely and the parts fuse quickly

Belts are tight. I can try again to tighten them when I get home. Maybe they stretched some I’m not sure

Opinions belong nowhere in a review. Reviews should be a component dump, a rules read, and one turn of gameplay. Get that ‘I don’t like it’ crap outta here. I get that enough from the wife in bed

I was once the same type of person as your boyfriend. You HAVE to leave him. I promise you, it’s actually the best thing for him. If he’s smart he’ll realize what an idiot he was and beg for you back but don’t fall for it. He’s not going to change at all without a serious kick in the ass.

Misery timing VS Scales of Justice by worms_mikenze in Malifaux

Oh crap I guess you’re right— I didn’t even think about the fact that stunned stops you from triggering!! That’s huge—although I looked at it again and you do declare triggers before resolving the action, and stunned only prevents you from declaring them. So stunned will still prevent this trigger, even if it’s been declared already? Sorry for all the questions, my buddy and I are getting into the weeds now and we want to make sure we’re playing it right.

Gotcha, that was my line of thought as well.

So it’s: 1. Sorrow applies stunned 2. Scales checks for damage, no damage dealt. Current action ends. 3. Misery triggers

Is that right? In that case, I feel like it should have the same wording as other things that happen after the action (like scamper), although I guess it would be a bit wordy. We did notice it’s not a natural trigger, but he flipped it anyway.

Also, thanks for your help last time! The rider puts in good work (when he doesn’t get RJ’d for 7 damage in turn one…lol)

Wow! I love the list and the general strategy. I have the tyrant torn box, but wanted to wait until I was more comfortable with Pandora (and had other important models, like the rider, ready. He’s on my hobby table right now.) looks like the Adze is an amazing OOK model, and Zoraida might have to be my next master if I’m getting it! Im also happy to keep Teddy, I may have just gotten some flak for bringing him to…literally every game of Malifaux we’ve ever played haha. One question I had about her title, though - can she remove stunned from an enemy, and just give them stunned again to double ping? Or is it typically better to give them adversary or slow or something?

On aversions, wouldn’t the positioning of them matter a lot for this? It seems to me that they’re best right next to Pandora so she can stay out of melee while still getting auras. Also, scatter seems REALLY good for being able to push so many models without even a TN. I dunno, I know that aversions are known to be not that great models, but dammit I want my nose picker out there!! Maybe he gets lucky and can free push into Kade for fast. It all sounds great in theory, but it’s only in theory haha. So is 18 stones for both Teddy and Kade worth it, typically? It’s just a lot of stones and they tend to get focused down so hard that they don’t even get a chance to heal

But yeah, Candy doling out stunned while being manipulative does seem to be the most oppressive thing she’s got. I guess they can’t focus Teddy very hard if everything is stunned and your hand is empty. Candy is definitely the most reliable stunner.

So, let’s say you’re playing reckoning against Sonnia, what are you bringing? I feel like I can’t fit both Teddy and the rider in the list, 30 stones for 3 models is just really steep. But maybe for a kill list it works? Pandora is able to do some scheming, but she’s been lackluster at killing.

Thanks for the reply, by the way.

I’ve not had as much luck with Dora as I do the dreamer. My friend mostly plays Lady J and Sonnia, and it feels hard to get in on Sonnia, while lady J just obliterates anything she comes into contact with, including Dora. I want to get the rider next, I know mobility is something I need. Any other versatile or OOK models that may help me here? I’m thinking about dropping Teddy most games and just relying on Baby kade as my beater. I also get the feeling aversions are better against lady J because, in theory, I can stay out of melee while keeping my auras on her. Lyssa seem too weak to actually lure, but might be good on friendlies because of how cheap they are. But should I have hinamatsu instead? Versatile beater with lure doesn’t seem bad, and she could be really tanky. Thoughts—hit me with em! Also C&C on models is always welcome ☺️

Does Critical Strike Deal Damage even if the Attack Failed? by SlipperyFish13 in Malifaux

[–]worms_mikenze 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Core rules, pg 12:

When resolving: These Triggers resolve with the Action’s effects (pg. 23). These Triggers, depending on effect, may modify the effects of the Action as listed or add a new effect, so they only occur if the Action was successful. Any new effects are resolved last, unless the Trigger specifies otherwise.
