I had an amazing time at the Con guys thanks to all you guys who are awesome! Hopefully I can come again next year!

Hey guys there is a tournament that I will be hosting at Game Empire in San Diego in Clairemont! It will be 30ss tourney and a 5 dollar entry fee! Hope to see you there!

Oh got it! Makes alot more sense now. I would say drop the Wendigo and just keep The Essence of Power it has great synergy with her as I posted earlier. I Also second bringing Joss

Most the stuff stated is good advice. Like Tenebrae said Raspy AoE's are really nice because you can target lower DF stuff and drop the Aoe's On Lillith's head so as you dont have to target her DF 8.

I find if your able to kill the Matures the real threat you have to worry about is Lillith herself, and since the errata of "Master of Malifaux" isnt as heinous as it was It makes things a little easier. Also as Ropetus stated she needs a body guard when fighting Lillith. I like the Ice Golem for this personally.

Just use your further range (icy mirrors) to try and get the early jump and kill the Matures or Young Nephilims to negate the Diving charges. Easier said than done but thats my .02 cents.

Ladies and Gents,

I am about to start up in a Malifaux league. Rules are simple. You can take a crew of 40 SS into the league. Each game is 25 SS that has to be made up from the 40 you declared at the begining.

I am using Rasputina so wanted some advice on what will give me the best redundancy and options across all the other gangs in 40SS...

I am thinking currently

3 Ice Gamlin

2 Hoarcat Prides

1 December Acolyte

1 Wendigo

1 Essence of Power

1 Razorspine rattler

Coming in at 39 and giving me some options.

What are peoples thoughts and potential improvements? I do have an Ice Golem Model at home also, and was tossing up Joss as a good inclusion.

Well first things first is you cant have two totems. Either Wendigo or Essence of Power. I like the essence of power much more with Raspy because when your arcing spells via Icy Mirrors your usually at one negative flip and the totem cancels that out allowing you to cheat to moderate of severe.

Also I usually always run the Ice Golem with her. He make a great Icy Mirrors canidate due to his 9 wounds, statue and armor 2. He is hard to kill. I think you could drop the rattler as they dont have much synergy with Raspy I find. If you wanna take something fast to engage enemies take the Cerebus. He is a very effective first strike option.

You also mentioned Joss. Even though he is nine points he destroys things and is pretty survivable. You can give him armor with Raspy so you dont have to waste his charges then once he is in Melee he can flurry or reactivate. His damage spread is also great with his counters and his Df on top of armor makes him hard to neturalize.

To my last point, I find the models you include with Raspy are usually either for icy mirrors or for distractions while your slow army advances. Raspy is really the work horse of the Army with the most killing potential by far. One Decembers Touch can do alot of damage, and on top of being able to cast is 3 times not including overpower is amazing.

Here is a list I like to take.

Raspy SS (7)

Ice Gamin

Ice Gamin

Ice Golem

Essence of Power

Joss

Cerebus

If you dont have the Cerebus model you can drop 1 ss and bring 2 hoarcat prides instead

Second the Nino action in the list. Also I usually run max SS with her as she needs em for effective casting

You gotta bring Sam!! He's the man. Flamming bullets with Rapid Fire and Critical Strike is soooooo wrong. Makes me feel happy in my pants. :thumb:

Isnt his crit strike only on his Hunting tools Not his gun?

Geez I like how me being a guinea pig and gettin' a beat down has lead to all this discussion. Haha glad I could be of "help" to all of you guys.

Perdita is a rough match for Raspy in general. There are 2 Perdita players at my LGS and she is a tough nut to crack. Her whole gang is really good and all having Companion(family) comes in handy when they really need to kill your models. As for dealing with her you need durable models or fast models to get there. The constructs like gamins with statue allows :-fate on damage flips and with armor it helps them to survive a little longer. Or you need fast models to get there to kill there stuff like Cerebus.

Also make sure you use Ice Pillars to your advantage, either forcing them to kill the pillars, or play around them. And if they are killing pillars they aren't killing your models.

Icy mirrors is really great for dealing with them. 16'' threat is great because it allows you out range most models in her crew besides Nino. And with overpower and casting expert you are able to put out some serious hurt.

Most this stuff has been posted before but thats my .02$

It happened to me today. I was the Rasputina player. I didnt see it coming at all because Pandora goes last, Pacifies all the sorrows and moves the 28" across the table. Its not bad at all for a strategy because there are only two things with higher WP than Pandora and when she gets to you she has all of her soulstones and has only used her 0 actions to get to you so has all of her spells left. And when you fail you take 8 different sets of wounds basically negating armor or any of that.

Plus if you think you cant kill the master you kill the rest of the crew. Unless your guild with a Judge your not over WP 6. Its pretty crazy, and then the dopplerganger allows you to basically go first if you fail, then you get 3 more shots at it. Its not as impracticle as it sounds. Not only that, when you try to target Pandora its another WP duel, so if you fail that take another 8 wounds. Just takes alot of good planning to set up

Thanks for the replies guys. If you were to make a 30 and 35 point list what would you put in there for a tourney? Also is Joss any good with Raspy? He and the Cerebrus seem like they would provide good melee threats while she nukes em with spells, or am I wrong in that assumption?

Hey guys I just got into Malifaux and I love it. I really wanna become a promoter or as Privateer Press calls them a "press Ganger". How does one go about this? And links or info would be much appreciated!

Hey guys whats going on, as the title said im new to the game and have been really enjoying it. I picked up Raspy because I like the models and like the whole winter theme. Anywho my buddies picked up some boxes too, I regularly play again Lady Justice, Pandora, Sameus and Nicodem.

Im looking to expand the models in my gang and have been trolling on here for awhile and have read that 2-3 Hoarcats, December Acolyte, essence of power/wendigo. These seem to be great additions but i was reading some people like molemen, Cerebus due their speed, and I was reading Joss's stats and he is a melee beast which I think would be good assest to her army. Any tatics or advice on what to pick up would be awesome.

Thanks for the help guy
