I was under the impression slop haulers were considered a top choice for their soulstone cost. Maybe Math meant the slop haulers are broken good comments.

Bucket Avatar of the Slop
Gotta love the big hat, he's such an effective master. Even without upgrades he offers so much. Good shootin, great shootin with triggers, with added blasts. Strong support with Do It Like DIs. And of course the awe inspiring power of the big hat stripping the opponents control hand while you still get to bayou two card.
Good Read

Nice win. I've really got to get Ophelia on the table more.
Hail to the buckets!

Man this reminds me of a guy who argued with me that protection from creatures protected a creature from a spell that did x damage where x is my biggest creature. Just because the spell said creature. Thankfully I pawned that argument off on a tier 2 judge walking by after running through the guys logic loop twice.
Anyway I'm not really seeing the language issue here. "Due to" seems to cover both the obey and embalmed rules intents perfectly fine.

No pants.
Free munchies from work.
A nice meat hook to get the TV remote.
Did I mention no pants.

I couldn't think of a character name when I tried world of Warcraft. Saw a pack of Hoyle brand poker cards. Added a D at the end when I needed an Alliance character to play with friends. Liked it enough to make it my mainstay user name.

Probably won't be making it up. Weathers sounding pretty bad for the weekend. Hopefully we can make it up for other events n the future.

We've got two to three people coming up from Findlay ohio .

Trying to get information from FedEx at the moment. Two weeks off from when the label was printed, and that's all the tracker shows.

My friend/only other Malifaux player and I stopped playing around when Avatars got released in the old edition. I'm greatly interested in seeing what they've done with the concept. My buddy can barely wait considering he's got a lovingly painted pair of Avatars that never got to see table time.

Its been a long time since I've wandered the streets of Malifaux. You can measure it in eons, or editions, okay just one edition. I've moved back into my old stomping grounds after two years and low and behold there's a Malifaux player base now. And its not just me and my good buddy/excuse to buy new games enabler. So after realizing that my outcast army had been cut into two factions, and that getting mark 2 cards for my Levi crew was gonna be a pain, it was time to break out the bayou brigade from there long slumber and let them enjoy being their own faction.
Map: Western town, decent spread of building along a diagonal road, lot of fencing creating courtyards between buildings, some trees and such to break up Los in the courtyards. One edge has a open area with a gallows.
Deployment: standard
Strategy: New strategy from 2015 document, Tombstones ( probably the wrong name) ie, kill stuff and it leaves markers you collect for points
My list
Some Teeth Jones : Dirty Cheater, Family Tree, Stilts
Taxidermist: Dirty Cheater
War Pig
Pigapult
3 x stuffed piglets
2x bayou gremlins
2x Skeeter's
Schemes: Deliver a revealed, Distract
His List
Jacob Lynch: Returning Huggy
Hungering Darkness (Huggy )
Mr Graves
Mr. Tannen
Beckoner
2x Illuminated
Doppelganger
Missing a few points of upgrades I believe
Schemes: Deliver a Message revealed, Assassinate
Deployment: He deploys first, spreading his models out around the gallows with huggy in the far left corner. I choose a courtyard in the bottom right, plop down the pult and put everything but the taxidermist and war pig around it. Those two go behind a building at the bottom of the street.
Turn 1: Iniatize Somer
I move a skeeter into the street and defensive stance. An illuminated comes forward, checks for a shot, is short and moves a bit. Second skeeter follows firsts lead. Second illuminated moves to a building corner and defensive stances. Somer Gets Ur Bro twice ( putting all four bayou gremlins I own on the table) and moves up a bit. Beckoner moves up the road some and pulls graves into a better spot. Slop hauler heals my gremlins. Doppelganger mimics Beckoner, pulls Huggy towards the center. War pig moves forward, then charges a skeeter from me misremembering set ur off. Misses. Tannen walks up the street by the Beckoner. Pigapult sacs a stuffed piglet, recklesses, and blows up Tannen and the Beckoner. First tombstones of the game. Graves heads for the street. Taxidermist walks up some. Huggy just reaches my war pig on a charge. Dead pig. Gremlin walks to a decent shooting spot. Lynch grabbed a tombstone then drops into defensive stance. Rest of the gremlins walk toward the action. O-1
Turn 2 Lynch ( Doppelganger Cheat)
Graves pushes up the first illuminated then walks. Pigapult splats Doppelganger splashing the second illuminated, then hits huggy for a bit. Lynch grabs another tombstone and walks forward. Taxidermist makes a piglet and walks toward a middle courtyard. Second illuminated heals to full, charges and splats a taxidermist. New stuffed piglet walks toward second illuminated. First illuminated charges and kills a gremlin and ties up a second. Somer walks up, Do It Like Dis for Rams, then thinkin luck boomer shots put down the hungering darkness and sphlash the second illuminated and the piglet. Bacon Bomb from the piglet adds a bit of damage. Gremlin vaporizes himself and the second illuminated with a red joker damage dumb luck shot. Another gremlin runs up the street from a side road. Last gremlin distracts illuminated. Skeeter's reach grave and lynch and defensive stance. Slop Hauler grabs a tombstone. 1-2
Turn 3 Somer
I distract two models and grab a tombstone. He kills a gremlin with his illuminated, and flails at skeeters for the rest of the turn. 3-2
Turn 4
Good use of graves push frees up the illuminated, threatening Somer,who backs off to prevent message delivering. Everything else is tied in melee. No points scored.
Turn 5 lynch
Red joker let's graves push a skeeter. This let's lynch score a tombstone and kills my last gremlin, bringing back huggy. Somer fails to handle illuminated and backs up.
. Huggy flails at Skeeters 3-3.
Turn 6
Skeeter's kept him locked down, but Somer couldn't get anything accomplished by himself this turn. Game ends 3-3

Downloaded the 2.0 quickstart rules. Looks interesting as a rough dsraft. Some interesting mechanis to be sure. Summoning requiring a terrian feature is pretty cool. Constitution checks feel like a lot of random paper work. The one odd thing is that the version I downloaded doesn't tell you how to get the mana to cast cards.
-
Some of those creatures look really nice. I'm really digging the Last Elder model. The mini based Ccg idea sounds interesting.
Hope to see some more of this in the future.

What Ratty said is pretty much my experience. If the board is barren the Ortega gunline is close to unbeatable. Its how my first experiences with the game went and nearly ruined it for me. So break things up as much as possible.
After you've got enough Terrain use it. Toroswap misaki forward then ninjas dive your opponents models through the wall. Smoke bombs can help cut down on the few remaining fields of fire.
The key to killing Perdita is judging when your opponents hand is weakest and hammer her. Preferably with Misaki herself. Try to hit the decapitate trigger as much as possible and remember to Your mine Perdita for the positive flip.

Shes the freikorps model from the kickstarter for the Malifaux rpg.
-
Would love a bit of card draw. Maybe a buff to the librarians ranged attack. A nice offensives spell or two.
-
The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre was terrible. Horror movie by the number with predictably cheesy 3d effects.
Hopefully the new evil dead is better or my horror movie fanatic friend is going to burn his movie collection.
-
Very nice write up. Finally got to pull my Misaki box out and give it a few test runs. Misaki is amazingly killy and the Torekage are fantastic utility models/ back up fighters. Ototo got focused down in a few games, but he did crush Ortega skulls wonderfully.
The ten thunders brothers and ronin are on the list of future ninjas purchases.
-
Possibly strategic use of the You're Mine action will help alleviate being swamped. Locking every model except the chosen target into negative melee flips agianst a defense 7 master should alleviate some pressure.
-
Yeah ive been thinking they'll be a very solid basic minion thanks to the companion ability. At least for crews that run a lot of actual ten thunder models, like misaki.
-
Ive got archers and yamaziko. Yamaziko was well detailed and easily assembled. I just started assembling the archers. Dynamic poses but the heads are proving fiddly to assemble.
-
I was thinking rail workers plus kang plus Toshiro. Toshiro gives his combat boost aura and kang ups the workers Cb by one.
Random zombie swarm with out pan lo.

Its a beast and a mercenary. Large base size. Is not a duel faction model. Costs 8 soulstones.
