  3. How many Hanged?

    in The Outcasts

    Posted

    So I like to play Jack & a lot of the time the hardest decision I have to make when building his crew is whether or not to take take the max amount of Hanged that I can (I love these creepy buggers). How often do you take them? I find it hard to leave home without at least one.

    Thinking about something like this; 

    Jack Daw -- 5ss
     +Guillotine Injustice - 0ss
     +Twist And Turn - 2ss
     +Writing Torment - 2ss
     +Drowning Injustice - 0ss
     +Firing Squad Injustice - 0ss


    Hodgepodge Effigy - 4ss

    Nurse - 5ss

    Rusty Alyce - 10ss (OR Strongarm)
     +Tally Sheet - 1ss

    The Guilty - 5ss

    The Hanged - 9ss

    The Hanged - 9ss

    Its a risky opening gambit, as the rats are likely to clock up injuries fairly quickly over the course of a campaign. I guess that will help lower the crew rating. 

    I would have thought the hodgepodge was better than the catcher in your startign list as it adds options to you that you wouldn't otehrwise have where as you'll probably end up with a rat catcher fairly quickly anyway. 

    Those were my thoughts to. But also I only need to make injury flips for the rats if the summoned units are killed & it's quite possible to keep chaining stuff into new units to avoid making those flips :P 

    If the worst comes to the worst I can add more Rats cheaply enough at the start of each campaign phase

    Not sure, but what if something will remove Killjoy from play? Bury, paralyze etc.
    What's your plan B?

    Why so many rats?

    If something paralyzes Killjoy I'll just have to ride out, usually he's into an opponent quick enough to deal with anything that could pose a threat to him.

    Having that many Rats gives the ability to put Blighted pretty much anywhere I want & give's me the option to summon Rat Kings & Rat Catchers from the get go 

  7. Nix crew for campaign

    in The Outcasts

    I need help deciding on my opening gambit for a local campaign (henchmen led, but costs & 40ss)

    I'm torn between two options as my starting crew (both fairly similar)...

    Option 1:

    Henchmen: Nix 8ss [9ss] 
    Infectious Melodies +1ss

    Killjoy 12ss [12ss]

    Obedient Wretch [4ss]

    Hodegepodge Effigy [4ss]

    Malifaux Rat [2ss]

    Malifaux Rat [2ss]

    Malifaux Rat [2ss]

    Malifaux Rat [2ss]

    Malifaux Rat [2ss]

    OR

    Option 2: 

    Henchmen: Nix 8ss [9ss]
    Infectious Melodies +1ss

    Killjoy 12ss [12ss]

    Obedient Wretch [4ss]

    Rat Catcher [6ss]

    Malifaux Rat [2ss]

    Malifaux Rat [2ss]

    Malifaux Rat [2ss]

    Malifaux Rat [2ss]

    As it stands I'm leaning more towards #1 but would be interested in hearing your thoughts :)

  11. Couchmonster's painting corner

    in Miniature Showcase

    Posted · Edited by Couchmonster

    So I've decided that I want a Black Blood Shaman to run with my Nephilim but I don't like the mini & doesn't fit the angry daemon lady vibe of my grow list so I've started on a conversion...

    Once this section has set I need to create some sort of tie around the middle & connect the sleeves to the bodice.

    Edit - already swapped out the right arm to match the left & will attempt further curling of the wings when it's more set.

  12. Hamelin Tactica: Drown them in Rats

    in The Outcasts

    Posted

    Yes....is the only answer to that question.

    In my last game my opponent had to try to deal with him & got unlucky in killing him off. Next turn with a card ditch & killing off a Coryphee Duet he was back to full health & wandered up & down the left half of the board killing anything that couldn't get away & effectively forced my opponent into the other half of the board.

    The obey from the piper upgrade really helps his mobility also (not to mention can it can generate an extra attack [or two if you trigger onslaught]).

    One thing to bear in mind with Killjoy is that your opponent knows it's coming! It's usually best to hide your rats against a range heavy crew as they can pick off your rats & Killjoy's then jogging :(

  13. Hamelin Tactica: Drown them in Rats

    in The Outcasts

    Posted · Edited by Couchmonster

    I've found the best thing about Sewer King Hamelin is not having to focus on making rats...they just happen which is awesome. Not to mention that by having a Rat or Stolen to hand you never have to stone for cards, add in to that the obligatory Killjoy delivery (which you have) from an Infectious Melody rat & your golden.

    In this sort of crew I stay away from the Plague & use Survivalist as it's too good to pass up & as Sewer King & Piper you'll be using those actions up on obey so no need to focus on blighted too much.

    Personally I've been running Iggy & Baby Kade & they're really nice to have in the crew as Kade always has a buddy in a Rat & Iggy has cool tricks at neat price (& is virtually an auto include if you're facing Tara). 

    I would maybe consider starting with less Rats, I like to start with just one, & use the points elsewhere....maybe Oathkeeper on Killjoy :)

    Here's my list at this size; 

    Hamelin -- 5ss
     +Sewer King - 1ss
     +The Piper - 2ss
     +Survivalist - 1ss

    The Stolen - 2ss

    Baby Kade - 7ss

    Iggy - 5ss

    Killjoy - 12ss
     +Oathkeeper - 1ss

    Malifaux Rat - 2ss

    Nix - 8ss
     +Infectious Melodies - 1ss

    Obedient Wretch - 4ss

    I'll be picking up some Crooligans like yourself as they're amazing runners for Hamelin

  14. Need help with a grow list

    in The Neverborn

    Posted

    There's a local event coming up next month using fixed lists @ 35ss & I'm thinking that I would like to try out a grow list for this event (been itching to try one out & this seems like a prime opportunity).

    The trouble I'm having is that I usually play 50ss & so it's hard to judge what works well at this size as I've played 35ss since 1st edition. I've come up with three fairly similar iterations & could use some advice from experienced growers.

     +Living Blade - 2ss

    Nekima - 13ss
     +The True Mother - 2ss

  20. 2nd Master suggestions??

    in The Neverborn

    Posted · Edited by Couchmonster

    I'm looking for a second Neverborn master to compliment my existing pool of stuff. Currently my only Neverborn Master is Lilith & she has access to the following: 

    • Primordial Magic
    • Cherub
    • Nekima
    • Barbaros
    • 2x Waldgeist
    • 2x Young Nephilim
    • 3x Terror Tots
    • 1x Mature Nephilim
    • Baby Kade
    • Iggy
    • Mr Tannen
    • 2x Teddy
    • Bishop
    • Killjoy 

    Ideally I'm looking for something to compliment what I have to avoid having to purchase a ton more minis ( although that's kind of inevitable :P )
