Search Ebay for 'Malifaux Bamboo' that's where I got mine for my Misaki crew.

16 resin bases for £10.

So won the game last night 7-3.

We flipped Shared Turf War and I chose Breakthrough and Stake a Claim. My opponent chose Kidnap ( 2 Torakage and Ronin) and Assainate on Von Schill.

Turn 2 Misaki killed Lynch. Poor placement by my opponent meant he couldn't squeal out of combat.

Von Schill was then taken out by Collodis doll swarm (4 marionettes and 2 wicked dolls).

Turn 3 Misaki diving charged Collodi and killed him. My opponent forgot to pass damage off to the marionettes.

Turn 4 Mei Railwalked round the enemy and ran for there deployment zone to secure the win.

We ran out of time so called it at turn 4.

Loved Misaki and Mei both did exactly what I asked of them. Had some luck due to my opponents mistakes but both performed well.

Von Schill on the other hand did nothing except draw my opponents attention (Von Schill has been a thorn in the side of my friend on many occasions). So maybe I could have taken Yamaziko but then Collodi may have killed one of the girls nd totally changed the game.

Mei was my first choice.

In a 60 stone brawl I was thinking about:

Misaki w Shang

Mei Fang w Emberling

Von Schill

Torakage x 2

Ten Thunders Brother

Ten Thunders Archers x 2

Metal Gamin x 2

Ronin

What do you think?

Playing a brawl on Thursday night and was wondering who would be the best partner for Misaki.

My options are Mei Fang, Viktorias or Von Schill and will be playing against Neverborn (probably Lynch boxset and Collodi's doll swarm)

The Viks are amazing at killing things but they are quite fragile as well. I have found that when using the Viks it is all about timing a nice whirlwind bomb. Make sure you don't send them in too early or they will be overwhelmed. As for some long ranged support the Convict Gunslinger is an excellent choice as is Hans. Try throwing a Student of Conflict in the list to give one of your long range dudes fast. Another trick for getting around shooting is tying up their shooters in melee if you can. Hope this helped!!

Only problem with being in melee is that with 'aim high' they don't test for ht1 models and even a bayou gremlin has pretty good damage output with tricks like 'ya'll watch this' and 'dumb luck'.

I did think of using black death but as Big kid says had pretty bad cards all night and he had 2 slop haulers which give heal flips to upto 4 gremlins a turn.

So, played my first game with my Viks crew last night and got my a$$ kicked by my mates Ophelia crew.

We played 40ss and I took:

Viks

Taelor

Hamelin

Convict Gunslinger

Ronin x 2

8ss cache

My mate took the family (except the sniper) + 3 young Lacroix, 2 slop haulers and los of Bayou gremlins.

I was slaughtered by turn 5 and just couldn't get close to them without getting shot to bits. He killed 1 Vik in the first turn with Pere and his triple damage trigger of doom!

Any ideas on how to close the distance or should I add more shooting maybe Hans or Friekorps trapper?
