The Family really does own, I enjoy playing my Viktoria slingshot more but loving with card draws while filling you full of lead and ignoring/winning most willpower duels is immensely satisfying.

Dexefiend, I can sell you my desolate and souless boxset for 20 bucks if you want it. The models are assembled primed and some of them are painted, but it will be a pretty cheap way to start a second crew. I can post pics tonight if you are interested.

Here is the Levi boxed set I was talking about.  And just for fun here is my first attempt at painting some gremlins. I still have to finish up more stuff for these guys.     As with most minis these look better on the table than they do all blown up in a picture.

I wanted him to look like he crawled out of the ground. Followed by the Armypainter Quickshade, and I did Dullcote them tonight. They look awesome. The key to blood and gore is to get enough brown in there. Devlan Mud and Baal Red make a good mix. I was double dipping from one to the other, and doing it completely random. What do you think of my planned pajama kid?

I am getting the Ortegas for 2 reasons. 1) They pair up well with the Guild stuff I have already (Lady J's box set + Executioner for $10 from a friend). 2) I am going to be getting Lilith and use those for teaching games. I originally bought the Red Chapel Gang to face Lady J, but after getting the box I just did not like the miniatures from a painting stand point. And I thought what is the point of having miniatures for teaching games that are bare metal or just primed. I just want my bases to get here so I can start painting dudes. The back log I am going to have once Christmas is over is going to be nuts.

ive finally been persuasded to buy into Malifaux. My gaming group have a poo poo ton of minis for it and we had a couple of games last night that were great fun. Im not normally into non historical wargames but I really enjoy Malifaux. About the only thing my mates dont own is Gremlins so I was thinking of buying the Born in the Bayou set, which by my reckoning is about 24 points. What else would be worth buying to bulk the force out a little?

In my humble opinion the slop hauler pack and the 4 pack of bayou gremlins is a nice addition to the born on the bayou box. More experienced goons can probably give you more input though.

My friends are all doing this Warmachine Journeyman thing at the moment, so I haven't had a chance to play. Also, the pajama kid is only at the very start of painting. Just skin and a first attempt at pajamas.

CROSSPOST FROM PAINTING THREAD!    This guy is less than an hour or so of painting. He is from Malifaux, and is basically a child stolen by the Pied Piper. He has amazing rules, and I wanted him to look like he is in his pajamas. Started with Grey Acrylic Urethane Primer from Vallejo, and then used my airbrush to base coat the base. Drew on the pajama stripes with my smallest brush, and took the first shots. Then I used Army Painter Quickshade, but I don't ever dip the models. Dipping them applies too much product. I brush it on, and then control where I want a little extra (the feet, the hair, the armpits, the bottom of pants, the sewer). All in all, I am very excited to see what he looks like when he dries! This Quick Shade stuff is basically Stain+Varnish, which leaves them very glossy. After hitting them with Dullcote they look amazing. The varnish part helps protect the primer and makes them a little tougher. I basically use this stuff as a heavy duty devlan mud, and it treats me very well!

dexefiend posted:Any hints on what Hamelin's Avatar looks like? Hamelin suffers from the same problem that a lot of 2nd book masters suffer from in that he has a limited number of models to take with him. Aside from Lost Ones, Nix, Rats, and Rat Catchers there aren't a ton more models which are either great with him, or even are able to be taken by him. As a result I can't think of any other models which can bring blight counters. Even still, hamelin + rats ought to be placing PLENTY of blight counters. A rat swarm does some pretty insane damage with the right tricks.

Ortega's are good against Hamelin for the following reasons. 1) Most of them have a really high willpower or have stubborn which gives them +2 to WP when they defend in duels. All of Hamelin's crew targets WP. 2) Papa Loco has very low WP but will charge in (with help from Perdita's Obey) and get snuggly with your hordes of rats. He'll probably target rats that are not close to a rat catcher. 3) All the Ortega's can make an awesome firing line with lots of gunplay and area suppression or multiple attack triggers preventing rats from advancing if they so wish. 4) Never doubt the power of a full Family (which are all the Perdita's and whatever Abuela decides who should be part of the Family) companioned attack turn if any of your key models are not together. 5) Also most of the Ortega's have Shrug Off which means drop a counter or effect they have. Putting counters and effects on characters is pretty much Hamelin's thing.

So to bump this thread and also to start some conversation, I thought a neat idea would be list tricks for a master and to tell people how to counter them. Dreamer/Lord Chompy Bits People love ragging on this guy as impossible to stop, but I've seen people deal with him okay. Also to add some tricks for people who might be a tiny bit interested in playing him. Tips The first couple purchases for Dreamer are Daydreams and, in my opinion, Lelu and Lilitu. The twins are so divine that any Neverborn master can only benefit from them. With dreamer, I usually run 2 Lelu's and 1 Lilitu. Protect the Lili as much as you can. If Lili kicks it, try to send the Lelu's back underground and bring them back up when they need to kill something. There are lots of great nightmares figurines, but you shouldn't just focus on just them. Hooded Rider is great at keeping up with the Nightmare horde and can change depending on the situation. At the start of the game, start in Night so he cannot be targeted by ranged and then Chase the Sun into Morning when close to make all the enemies slow when they get hit by his saber. Use Mounted Combat to weave in and out of combat and since all movement during Mounted is a push, no disengaging strikes. I am considering trying out Dopple to act like a nightmare buffer. With Dreamer out, I can suck out I Can Fly to move where the nightmares are, Shadowy Form so I cannot be targetted when snuggled up against a nightmare, and Rapid Eye Movement to give Lelu's an extra attack. Know how to do the Alpha Strike. It's hard to get your head around at the start, but when you understand it, you can jump on just about any figure out of place. Read about it on Dreamer's page on Pull My Finger http://pullmyfinger.wikispaces.com/The+Dreamer Now an easy way to counter Dreamer is the following Exorcist - This guy is scaring me since my Lili, Lelu, and Lord Chompy just go insane mode with their triggers. Neverborn are not know for ranged attacks, so this guy is a good response if you expect I'm playing Dreamer Kill my Daydreams over all my other nightmares. These Daydreams is what makes my crew work. If you kill one, I have to poo poo out another one by paying 2 soulstones because I need them all to keep up with maintenance. Poison them to make easy work of them. Speaking of poison, poison on the Dreamer is a headache. His spirit characteristic does not counter the pure wounds poison deals. After that, I will have to heavily consider if I want to bring back Dreamer to risk the poison. If Dreamer is in this position, I will be relying on my Daydreams more than ever which should make them even a higher priority.

Well, it turns out the gazelle from Dark Ages I bought to use as a Young Nephilim is actually huge, so I spent the last little while ripping models from bases and swapping the wings around. Overall I think the Nephilim group looks pretty good and once I pick up another gazelle they'll be ready to hang out with Zorraida

There's going to be a tournament around Northern Virginia and it's 25pt I have decided to do this one mean combo I found on the boards and run with it. Then try to add some survivability and things to order around Neverborn Crew - 25 - Scrap Zoraida, the Hag -- 5 Pool
So the big combo is to group up the Dopple, Zorida, and a Stitched with a Insidious Madness close by hopefully giving something you are targeting a neg flip on willpower in it's aura. During Dopple's turn, copy both Zorida's 10 WP, and the Stitched's Gamble Your Life action. It is imperative to get the Madness' Psycho Episode off and next to thing you want dead. Dopple now has a 10 with a flip that can be cheated against a very average 5-7 on a higher costed model that gets a negative flip which causes it not to be able to cheat. So when Dopple does it's Gamble Your Life where it's a Wp -> Wp duel, it has a huge leg up on winning. Good for killing minions quickly, less so with Master, but I have killed a Lilith with one activation of a Stiched once. Really, it does not matter if the Dopple is in the aura of the Madness, as long it pulls Zorida's 10 WP, it's all gravy. It feels weird to have a Zorida crew without something big of mine smacking on their side several times with multiple obeys, but if I can get the Madness over there, their resists will plummet.

You might get hurt by immune to influence models though, since all of your offense is going to be based on it really, or if your opponent focus fires on your stitched Wazzu: I really like your crew. I feel every executioner should have a treasure trail

Simple scheme that I executed reasonably well and looks solid. The questions now is whether to make a dreamer crew that's purple, pink and blue (on grimdark basing); or some sensible colours. Oh, and in regards to your first point: when hit by the insidious madness's attack, models lose any immunities to wp duels that they had; so he kind of has that covered.

Still, kill the stitched and the main firepower of the crew is gone. Against a crew like Dreamer who are great at picking off models its quite the achilles heel. But I am far more used to 35SS games, so maybe im overestimating how quickly they could be taken down? As for Daydreams, I always felt they should be bright and colourful and chompy should be the grimdark one. Bonus if you make him the same colours as the Daydreams but drag and dark versions of them.
