I've been playing 3. edition since it came out, and by "playing" I mean "been sitting at home, thinking about the game, and painting the models due to corona", and I absolutely love it. I've been spreading out, trying Kaeris, Ironsides, Marcus, Tara, and I just grabbed Hamelin. I really like how different they all play, but I'm starting to realize that I should probably focus on a keyword for a bit to try and figure it out. But my main opponent plays Asami, so I've been having fun trying to to guess what she's going to do, and then try and counter it. Great game!

Brock Samsonite posted:HamHam plays truly bizarrely. They reigned in some of the really rear end in a top hat things people were doing with him due to 3e thank god. I really like that he's built more around like infecting people and then making them take actions they otherwise wouldn't. I'm just putting the finishing touches on the Basse crew, I'm a big guilt player and like the only one in Atlanta. I mostly got him because I could pick up his 2. edition boxes for a fifth of the price of the new ones. He does seem fun, or at least interesting, which is my main reason for getting the different keywords. He'll also help me play more Outcast games, since Tara is super bad for Recover Evidence, and Hamelin seems super bad for Public Enemies, with the constant stream of rats that pop out everywhere. I'll probably get another keyword. Jack Daw seems cool, but I think that he's still missing som boxes for 3. edition, so I'll most likely go for Von Schill. At least I like painting the models. We were starting up an escalation league when corona struck, so we'll have to start over when/if the world gets more sane. At least the owner of my FLGS is a super fan of the game, so he constantly tries to get people to play it.

TheFinalTuba posted:Well, the rats are insignificant right? So they give no bounty points. Hamelin is one of the few masters I've never faced, but I'll tell ya what, insignificant spam has been relatively effective for me in Bayou Public Enemies games. Shove a bunch of insignificant in their face and they have to deal with them (they'll obviously die fast), but that's less actions they're using to hit significant models. Again, don't know if it works quite so well for Hamelin or not though.  The rats pop up all the time, which I guess is why you can have 12 of them. Then they can combine into a Rat King if something tougher is needed, then the king can summon a Rat Catcher if it's close to death. Then the cycle repeats. Seems pretty neat.My whole local community is so new to 3. Edition that I get a lot of mileage out of playing the more confusing crews, so my opponent doesn't know what's going on. Marcus is probably my favorite at this point, because of the constantly changing abilities that he brings. Edit: And yeah, I'll get Von Schill anyway. Then Rasputina. Then Sandeep. Then Jack Daw. Then I'll reflect over what I'm doing with my life. Electric Hobo fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Nov 29, 2020 |

I was really confused when I assembled the Brass Arachnid, and saw that it's supposed to go on a 30mm base. The base fits, with room to spare, right under it, without touching any of it's legs. That's going to be annoying if I ever get to paint and base it. I've posted my stuff in the painting thread, but I'll slap it in here later.

Here's some of my painted stuff. All the Wildfire models, as well as my converted Ironsides for running her with Kaeris.  And most of the Obliteration models, I don't have the new one yet     On the topic of lovely sized bases: How the hell am I supposed to attach Hamelin's giant fart cloud to anything? I can't even find any pictures where someone has done it.

And my last post with stuff I painted. It's all Chimera, except for the Neverborn beasts that I also use for it. Mostly to suddenly turn Myranda into the huge Grootslang tarpit.                  That's all I've painted, and I'm a pretty slow painter. I've got the Scorpius and Paul Crockett ready to paint, then It'll probably be time for the last Obliteration models, then Razorspine Rattlers when they show up. I've also got the entire M&SU keyword primed and ready to paint, and they seem like they'd be fun to play so I should probably get around to them. And the last Crossroads Seven. Man, I've got too much to paint.

SiKboy posted:Outside of the crews I have a few other odds and sods painted, the hodgepodge effigy (which if I'm interpreting the card right is essentially "a totem for if you are using a henchman instead of a master", right?) I like the Hodgepodge Emissary's stars, but hate the sculpt. It has some great utility with the Trinket upgrades that it can give other models. I had hoped to get an outcast avatar when when Wyrd had their promo a while ago, but didn't get one Anyway, cool painting!

I think the Effigies design makes more sense when I consider that they're puppets, and was part of Collodi's gang. I'll agree that the Hodgepodge one is the worst of the bunch, since it isn't a parody the same way that the others are. Like I said, I don't like the Hodgepodge Emissary, for the same reason that you like it. It's an old guy on a donkey, that just doesn't fit in with anything else. While I'm jealous of your Avatar of Slaughter, I did get the Avatar of Instinct, which is a proxy for both the Arcanist and the Neverborn Emissary. I already have the Arcanist one, but it's nice for my Marcus crew. Everybody should post what they paint, or their painted crews! I'm working on Tara's last box right now! She was the first master I was looking at, but there was nothing out for her, so I waited. I'm looking forward to use her against the Family in the start January.

I also finished something. Finally, Obliteration is complete! Tara was the first master that interested me back when I started out, but she only had her core box, so I skipped her back then. I be using her to fight the Family on the 10th, so I'm really looking forward to a lot of "too bad, you hit the hole in her chest again"-moments. Electric Hobo posted:Jumping on the Malifaux train! The last Obliteration models, as well as a photo of the whole keyword. SiKboy posted:X-posting from the painting thread.

Me and another recluse that abhors human contact, met in my garage today, and we actually played a whole game game. It was Tara vs Dreamer for maximum confusion, so it took us almost 6 hours, but we had fun all the way. I managed to win 7-4 with Tara, as I managed to control my bury/unbury, fairly well, so it only screwed me a few times. It was pretty fun to play a game where everybody has a ton of Terrifying, so both players burn through their cards.

The strategy was Corrupted Ley Lines, the schemes was Leave Your Mark, Research Mission, Catch and Release, Claim Jump, and Breakthrough. We had corner deployment. I went for Catch and Release, and Leave your mark. The strategy was pretty good, since Tara has a lot of incorporeal in her keyword, and Tara herself can take 5 move actions each round. I threw the lodestone around a bit, and got all 4 points from the strategy. Catch and Release was also pretty simple; I put Fast on my opponent's Carver, buried him, beat him up, and had Aionus unbury him next to my chosen Void Wretch and Karina. Then my Void Wretch hauled rear end across the table, kiting everything, so I scored the endgame point as well. Leave you mark was worse, but I brought a Prospector that could drop a Scheme marker even though everybody was fighting everybody in the center. I didn't get the endgame point for it.

Looking good! The brutal effigy is probably the best looking of the effigies, with Arcane and Mysterious coming in as runner-ups. I'm not painting any Malifaux right now (!), but I'm working on a couple of The Other Side minis for a Frostgrave warband. Compared to Malifaux plastics... They're garbage to work with. I also got the Von Schill core box and one of his other boxes for Christmas, and bought another one, so I'm busy assembling those guys. Just need Cutting Edge Technology to actually show up at my FLGS, and I'll have another complete keyword.

I think the multipart male/female boxes is for Through the Breach, and is the normal hard plastic? They do seem pretty cool, I'd but them if I had something to use them for. The Other Side minis is pre-assembled, which isn't necessarily bad, but they're made of a soft, crappy material. Kind of like Reaper Bones, but not as firm, si the moldlines has a tendency to tear instead of getting sliced off. I really don't like to prepare them for painting, but once they're ready, they're fine. The Cult of the Burning Man faction has some really cool sculpts, so I grabbed a box of Doomseekers to use as Frostgrave spellcasters.

I just assembled Hannah, and I kind of hated it. Nothing is labeled, everything looks the same, and the instructions is little help, while also being extremely necessary. I only hosed up one of the legs, but managed to pull it off again before the glue set. At least she's built now.

Yeah, it's hilariously bad. One of Hannah's robot hands needs to be assembled in a specific order, the other does not. This isn't shown in any way. Several pieces are almost identical, but with a slightly different angle to part of it, but some of them shown in a way that makes it impossible to tell the difference. I don't get why they haven't done the same thing as they did with the Hamelin instructions. There's a picture of the sprue on that one, and every piece is numbered, both on the sprue and on the exploded view. It's not perfect, but it makes these million piece models a lot easier to assemble. I guess it's just not a priority for them, as much as getting all the distribution chains up and running and such. Which makes a lot of sense, it just annoys me, personally, and that is naturally is the worst thing ever.

I played a game as Tara, against Nekima. Holy poo poo, Nekima and her Mature Nephilims hit like a ton of bricks! Nekima made quick work of Karina, and then Tara, but I did get a bunch of summons up, so I could win the melee through pure attrition. The errataed Talos did a lot of work, beating guys up, burying them, setting them on fire, and lowering their defense while they're buried. He's actually useful now! Aionus also did a lot of work in turn 4 and 5, where his Eventuality does a lot of damage with no flip. In the end, there was only Nekima and a Mature Nephilim left on the board, while my Scion of the Void was buried and couldn't do anything. I did win though, and the game was great!
