Hey greyseerco, sorry to hear about the bad turn out for your tournament. That can be a real let down. I hope you don't stop playing Malifaux. It's a great game. You're the guy who got me into it to begin with. Or maybe you just need a break. Either way, I hope you are doing alright.

It's a hard call. Remember in Malifaux you don't pick your list until after you know what faction your opponent is playing and after you know your strategy. The situation might determine whether or not you need the third Gamin. Rasputina does burn through a lot of soul stones, so I think in most cases you will be better off without the third Gamin. For what it's worth, I would also consider picking up the Sabertooth Cerebus. I would use him in place of the Ice Golem to bring a little bit more speed to your list. So it would look like this: Rasputina Essence of Power (2 SS) Silent One (6 SS) Silent One (6 SS) Ice Gamin (4 SS) Ice Gamin (4 SS) Ice Gamin (4 SS) Sabertooth Cerebus (8 SS) 5 SS Pool But then again, I would use the Blessed of December in place of the Cerebus, once the Blessed comes out. Hope it helps! (Edited for clarity.)

Malifaux is a turn based strategy game (more or less). If you want to play a turn based strategy game on an XBox 360, I recommend Civilization Revolution or Risk Factions.

Really? That's hilarious! How do I change the language on my facebook page to English (pirate)?

These look great! Welcome to the forums!

Your painting is nice and clean. It's a really good looking crew!

Looks great!

Thanks for the reply. I bought 18 rats. Hopefully, that will be enough to get started with him.

I would love to see an answer to this, too. I am getting ready to play Hamelin and reading the description of his units, it's hard for me to see how he ends up with so many rats.

I also recommend Savage Worlds. It is extremely flexible and rules light.

I'll be there, too! I should have lots of new crews by then.

Good point and something I often do with the Cerberus. I guess that I like that I don't have to activate Rasputina first and spend one of her APs to give the Blessed Frozen Heart and make her more durable. I try as much as possible to use Ice Mirror through the Silent Ones, but I like as many options as I can get for Ice Mirror in the event the Silent Ones die or are not placed right for who I want to target. Also, Frozen Heart comes in handy with SnowStorm's December Command spell. I don't always want to activate Rasputina first to give my models Frozen Heart or she might not even be in the right area of the board to do so. Again, I think you make a good point, but I still prefer the Blessed.

I used to always use a Sabertooth Cerberus with Rasputina. I liked the mobility it added to an otherwise slow Crew. SnowStorm has given a lot more mobility options to the Cult of December, but it is too expensive for lower Soulstone games. As soon as the Blessed of December becomes available I will be using her instead of the Cerebus. The problem with the Cerebus was that he was always a bit of a glass hammer. I am willing to sacrifice an inch of Charge for greater durability. Besides, I like that the Blessed has Frozen Heart (so she can be used with Ice Mirror) and fits better thematically with the Cult of December. Just my two cents.

Looks great! Very well done details. I look forward to seeing more.

I thought I would brighten up your picture a bit in Photoshop, so that it is easier for people to see.

Thanks for running this, Greyseer. I had a blast! Looking forward to your next tournament in October!

Wow! I love it!

I bought SnowStorm and am very happy with it. The was a strong mold line running through Storm's mane that needed to be fixed, but the same thing could have happened with a metal model. In fact, the resin was probably easier to work with than metal.

Naw.

Mindless Zombies and Malifaux Rats seem like they could use a few more sculpts as well.

I look like <-- that! Actually, that picture is getting a little old. Here is a picture from my brother's wedding last year.

Thanks! I will pass the info along to him. See you Saturday!

I met a new player that has some proxied models (non-Wyrd). Will he be able to use them in the tournament?

MaliDoodles are great! I just went through them all again!

Actually, our first game is a week from today. The theme of the game is how civilized people have to change in order to order to survive in a brutal and harsh world. It's all about character development. Will the housewife, doctor, cabbie, and accountant ditch the waitress when she breaks a leg and they are swarmed by zombies or will they stop to help her? When they find a little girl who is not a zombie and later discover that she has been bitten, will they send her away? Kill her? Watch over her until she turns? There are no right or wrong answers, but how the player characters deal with questions like these will define who they are. The goal is that they end the campaign with some very different (and more interesting) characters than what they started the campaign with.
