Shifting Loyalties Helper Sheets

After playing one Shifting Loyalties campaign and starting another, I wanted to make a synopsis of the rules on two sheets (like I have for regular Malifaux games). Here is the result for those who wish the same. The first page and a bit are for game setup in a Shifting Loyalties campaign.
The latter part is for during and post game activities.

Hope you get as good a use out of them as I have! You can download from here. Let me know if there is any problems so I can fix them.

Edit V1.1: Changed Dense Terrain wording.

Based on the Johnny Cash song, "A Boy Named Sue", Sue is a tough shooter who has some tricks like a burning ring of fire and such to keep your opponent on their toes.

Firestorm Armada...dusting it off

Bumped into a friend at the LANtasy 2016 gaming convention and realized we hadn't played Firestorm Armada in a while. Glad we found a time to do so and make me wish more locals would play.


We had 635 points each with myself being Terran and him being Directorate. We also picked different lists. We both had two frigate squadrons and one cruiser squadron but in his case he got another cruiser squadron and two heavy cruisers while I got a battleship and three escorts.


No scenario was picked, just a planetoid with some asteroids. Through most of the first part of the game, he got initiative.
My ships lobbed missiles at long range for the first turn for minimal damage but he closed in fast.
Then he started picking on my cruiser squadron which was damaging but allowed my battleship and frigates to get in good positions for damaging more ships. There was a point where he had several cruisers and a heavy cruiser aft of my battleship and tried to capture it but with two escorts left and no damage to the battleship it was apparent he should have fired more to reduce my crew and PD size. Eventually once my cruisers were gone I concentrated on his heavy cruiser squadron and admiral's ship, then proceeding to reduce his cruiser forces.

We realized that frigates, in particular Terran ones, were deadly to the medium capitol ships at long range. His directorate frigate squadrons were good at taking out my frigates or conducting damaging attacks on my capitol ships.

A really good game and I squeaked out a major victory. Until next time Directorate!

Killjoy

Kiljoy is also a ninja, of sorts. He can remain out of play until a friendly model is killed then he is summoned next to it. He's a hard hitter and can charge for one action. He's also really, really gross and that is saying a lot for the world of Malifaux.

Started primed white then washed with Badab Black to bring out the details. Slapped Khardic Flesh on with a drybrush of 50/50 Midlund Flesh and Thraka Green and a light drybrush of 50/50 Ryn Flesh and Thraka Green. Those mixes make for the putrefying flesh look. The wrist and legging straps were painted with Thamar Black, a drybrush of Coal Black and a lighter drybrush of 50/50 Coal Black and Menoth White Highlight.
 The red parts (gross!) were painted with Sanguine Highlight, drybrushed with Skorne Red and lightly drybrushed with Khador Red base and because it was not bringing out the details enough another light drybrush with 50/50 Khador Red Base and Menoth White highlight. The metal parts were painted with Pig Iron and drybrushed and detailed with Quicksilver. The wooden butcher knife handle was painted with Umbral Umber with a drybrush of Bloodstone. The eyes were painted with Thamar Black.
The base was made with a Plaguelands Basius 2 plate, painted with dollarstore black, heavily brushed with Umbral Umber, drybrushed with Iridian Flesh and lightly drybrushed with Rucksack tan and Jackbone. The model was then glued onto the base and everything was washed with Agrax Nightshade. The blood details were added with the GW Blood for the Blood God technique paint.

Torakage

The Torakage are the ninjas of Malifaux and the Ten Thunders faction. They are also hire-able as mercenaries.

Started primed black, then painted with Thamer Black. Drybrushed with Cryx Bane Base and lightly drybrushed with Iron Hull Grey. Then  I applied a very light drybrush of 50/50 Khador Red Highlight and Trollblood Highlight. I then washed the model with Seraphim Sepia. The metal weapons and masks were painted with Rhulic Gold and drybrushed with Blighted Gold. The regular metal parts were painted with Pig Iron and drybrushed with Quicksilver. Khador Red Highlight was used on the scarfs and trim to bring out the orange Ten Thunders colours.






The base is made from the Basius 2 "Dungeon" plate. First they were painted with dollarstore black. The stone was painted with Sanguine Highlight, drybrushed with Skorne Red and lightly drybrushed with Khador Red Base. The rubble parts were painted with Umbral Umber, drybrushed with Bootstrap Leather and lightly drybrushed with Beast Hide. Once the model was glued onto the base, everything was washed with Agrax Earthshade and Khador Red Highlight was painted around the base.
