PandaBearGuy Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 As I am in a veritable Malifaux desert I plan on picking up 2 starter boxes and learning the game then running demos for my friend in order to lure my Warhammer friends in. I want Perdita as "my" crew but I need a second crew that fulfills the following requirements: 1) provides a balanced fight against Perdita box-vs-box without blister packs. 2) NOT guild as I want the allure of different fluff/styles 3) will allow the 2 crews to engage in multiple forms of combat (i.e. I don't want to pick up a second crew that will have us taking potshots at each other all game, I want close combat, casting, and ranged to be shown off in demos) I like Rasputina's fluff but as I am a newb I have know clue if the out-of-the-box matchup will work and be fun on both sides. Will she work, and who else might I consider? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) With the criteria you have put down I'm going to say Viktorias, as they are fast and melee based and easy for new players. There are probably other masters to pit against Perdita, but some like Lilith and McMourning probably need extra models others are also ranged like Ophelia or Rasputina.

osoi Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I was actually thinking Rasputina (she can alter line of sight with her ice pillars), Seamus (lure models across board in range for his own gun or combat plus plays on the Wp side of things) or The Viktorias (generally cc orientated crew box that has lots of movement tricks with Bishop and the Vikkys, and serious cc clout with Taelor, Johan and the Vikkies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I really like McM, but he does need more minis than the box to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandaBearGuy Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Thanks all, I will have to think on it. I initially rejected the Viks since my girlfriend wants to learn but is seriously put off by the scantily clad ladies. However if she has a couple of burly shirtless M&SU guys to play with then that might soothe her feminist views Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 The Viks crew is very equal-opportunity about clothing (or lack thereof) Also, alt Viks are more clothed than their original counterparts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunce002917 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I'd say go with the Colodi box.. pair him with the Alt Zoraida... perfect complement with the Perdita Crew... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
