Awesome! Thanks, Rudy! I'm super excited to play Mollyfox in 2016. Personally, I'd play Mollyfox all weekend if I could. If you want any help with stuff like rules packets and whatnot, I'm planning on doing some of that for Breaching the Faux, so if nothing else, I could share what I put together for them with you. If Veskit and co. have other materials, I'd bet they'd help with that, too. For that matter, I think it'd be really cool to have a sort of 'living FAQ' kinda document that BtF and the OFCC could both use. I'd be happy to put up a shared document online, grant folks editorship, and kick it off. If you can't already tell, I'm a big fan of "everyone agrees on the rules ahead of time so that nobody is caught off guard" :)

Hey, do you guys have a forum or website for the event? I haz random questions, and I would like to ask them where they might help others.

Just a reminder, my op is that voices >>> box opens, not pandora uber alles.

Awesome! I will ping j now

Cory, someone will have a couch! If nothing else, I live 30 minutes away.

You now haz my monies :)

Yeah, this comes up a lot. Once again, Mark and Dan >>> internet :)

Yeah, I tried Dreamer, but I play him too slowly still. He seems super strong as well. My Dora crew is almost painted, too, so it is hard not to play her. I plan on painting my Colette crew next.

I should also mention that with 7s on the attacks and a draw 10 hand, the cards rarely go poorly.

So just an update, the lure nerf didn't change too much. I still build around that same core, and it still seems heads and shoulders above the pack. I have played Lilith once since getting Pandora, and only because it was headhunter. And frankly, I am not even convinced that she does that strat better than pandora. Nekima and pandora have so much synergy, it is insane. Together, they can wipe whole crews. And if the cards go poorly, Dopple init cheat, incite and lures can pull them both to safety before any serious retaliation. I would be really curious what crews would give me fits. I am sure they are out there.

Joel has the extra firestarter. I will ask if he wants miss Ann Thorpe. Is she assembled? Do you have all the bits?

So excited for this! A local, wcp-run malifaux event!!! Yay! Now to go to a secure machine and buy my ticket :)

Super curious how Dan Johnson plays him. Is he a PDX dude?

Yes, it is mathematically impossible to place an object exactly where you intend. For example, it is impossible to place a model exactly one inch from another model. Since this would require exact placement, it cannot be done.

Here is our meta, and how I would rank them, with spaces between the tiers: Pandora - So much control. Perfect with the Neverborn Allstars. No answer to voices = good freakin' luck to you... Sonnia - Punishes mistakes like no other, and I love the combos Nathan has for her (not seen them anywhere else online) Leveticus - Just a beast. Joel only has like 4 games with him, but is already competitive. Colette - I don't play her overt power crews, so maybe I rate her lower than is correct. But she will ALWAYS get her schemes. Lilith - The only reason she rates lower than Pandora is that she needs her cards much more, and austringers/belles eat cards Dreamer - With Sonnia dominating our meta, he's not crushing like he probably does in other metas. Molly - A summoner that can get going right away with Killjoy and Bette, so our aggressive crews can't just roll her Perdita - Usually, Sonnia just does it all better :( Seamus - Joel hasn't found a good crew to back him up yet, so he may be better than we think. Nicodem - Despite his amazing auras, he exerts so little pressure on turns 1 and 2 that he loses board control immediately C. Hoffman - Poor dude :( No way to win unless his opponent decides to brawl for some reason Rasputina - Our boards may just be too dense for her. She just seems to suck. Zoraida - My favorite master, fluff-wise, but she's passing out AP on 7s... Yuck. Lady Justice - Not sure she's even won a single game...

I'm curious about Nicodem. Vs. Pandora, Lilith, Sonnia and Perdita, he's just way too slow to get going. Nathan's and my crews put on serious pressure from the very first turn. He is something really sad like 1-13, with his only win coming vs. Zoraida or something. On the other hand, Molly seems awesome. Her killjoy delivery gives her a huge threat range to keep others honest, and she punishes clumping wonderfully. She's not an every S&S master, but she's much less vulnerable to our early pressure.

First off, I just found a big nerf to my crew in the November FAQ, which now disallows luring past a model. This makes it way harder for me to lure boost Nekima and Pandora like I was doing. So my crew may be a fair amount weaker now. 4-5" less movement on the turn 1 Nekima alpha is huge. As far as Joel's crew, he has basically the full range of Horrors, and some of the spirits (though not nearly as many). His masters are Molly (his strongest so far), Seamus and Nicodem (his weakest so far). Molly seems to have a particularly nasty matchup vs. Pandora, since Pandora and easily kill Killjoy with his own cleaver, and can paralyze-chain Molly very effectively. Otherwise, Joel has been doing very well with Molly. Seamus is his least played, and probably deserves more attention. We haven't done Seamus vs. Pandora yet. Nicodem seemed hopeless. His corpse engine can't possibly pay for itself before I'm all over him, killing his dudes and chain-paralyzing Nico. It is just ugly :(

Pandora continues to be a beast. My core list right now is: Pandora, voices, aether, wings Primordial Nekima Doppelganger Lilitu Lots of great options to fill it out, such as: Johan Graves Coppie Waldgeist Silurid Madness Tots Effigy So far, Joel's resurrectionists are really struggling to not get wrecked, and his Leveticus crew can't handle my mobility. I haven't played vs Sonnia yet with this build. I did lose spectacularly to Sonnia with the crew box stuff, none of which I use anymore. At this point, I think Lilith vs Pandora is really about the board, not the S&S. The dreamer remains my reconnoiter dude :)

We should have an extra!

6 games with Pandora now, and I'm totally convinced: voices is way better than the box opens. It's not even close. Thanks, Mark! Pandora is a blast to play!

Very nice! I wonder if this trick would be enough to allow Zoraida to compete?

I'm realizing that another great thing about voices Pandora is that she has something to do with her Loathing/Harm against models that don't have one or the other (or none).
