So what is it that makes Dead Doxies so good? When looking at the card I just didn't see anything all that amazing. Also what are your thoughts on adding Jack Daw to an aSeamus?

This is a Sonnia player who decided that he would finally move over to his favorite master, Seamus, and now need a little help. I normally play against either Colette, Victorias, or Leveticus. But after losing against the Vics I decided that I would ask for a little help. We generally play 35ss games and I know that I want the avatar in, other than that I don't really care what else is in there, though I prefer fluffy lists. Any ideas would be helpful.

Sweet thank you Ozz. I really appreciate the fast reply.

I love the model Sue, but with his Man in Black rule it makes him a little difficult to fit him into some of the lists that I want to add him into, but one that I have a question on is with aSeamus. aSeamus is wicked, but he is not deployed and might not even come into play. Would this allow me to hire Sue into that crew? Or is my Seamus crew always going to be without Jonny Cash?

Just ran the Judge again tonight against Kirai. Wow he really did great. I dropped both an Onryo and a Shikome in one shot apiece. Wow he really changed the game fast. Then again I killed his master with Pyres

I haven't really had much luck with the Judge outside of fighting Undead of some sort. I mean I know he's amazing and all, but I tend to get more out of 2 guild hounds than him.

No no...I used the Red Joker to cast the second Fire Blast lol. Also he probably wasn't expecting me to get the blast on him, I bounced them off my Witchling Stalker

So when I went into my local game store to play the Marcus opponent today guess who didn't show. Instead I was put up against our #3 ranked Kirai player. Ouch. In the end I just ran the list I had written, but with the Executioner instead of Samuel. This guy is a lot more experienced than me, he's been playing years instead of my months, so going into this game I expected to lose. Then mistake happened that I never expected an experienced player to do, he grouped up his spirits. Guess who was holding both the 12book and the Red Joker Well needless to say I killed all but 4 of his models with one spell and then killed Kirai the the second cast. We called it there, turn 2. Not sure if that will ever happen again, but oh well. I'm happy that it did. So my decision is, NO SAMUEL He just doesn't make back his points well enough. My Executioner killed both Ikiryo and Bete.

I have to admit it's not that I wanted to find and use a filth list, it's just that I always end up going against filth lists whenever I play, I've played the Pandora filth list not that long ago and others as well. I was just wondering if there was anything like that for us guild players. Truthfully I'm very happy that we don't have anything like that. And as to the Witchlings being underpriced I don't agree. They don't have anywhere high enough of a walk/charge. They can easily be out maneuvered by almost anything and really are just great in CC. Their shooting is only ok, low CB

sad day. Oh well my other main crew is the Dreamer so I can get my fill of filth there if I ever so choose lol

You have a point there Headcase. Samuel has died on me every game that I've played him, but he usually is the one that takes down one of the opponent's heavy hitters or Master. But the Ex can do that too. I just thought that I would have too much melee if I added him in too.

Thanks all for the help. I'm actually playing against Marcus tomorrow and was planning on running something along the lines of: Sonnia - +7 aSonnia - 2 Samuel - 8 Guild Austigar - 5 Witchling Stalker x2 - 8 Death Marshal - 4 Watcher - 3 Desperate Merc - 2 What do you all think? Originally I wouldn't have taken the DM but I decided that I could use a little more ranged threat, as well as the ability to bury things

I know that this is a weird question, but is there actually a list that just seems dirty for the Guild? I know that the Neverborn have a lot, one included is Nix's Filth list and there are some for the Ressers. But what about the Guild? If there is such a thing, what would it be?

Yeah I have it. The problem is the guy I was playing against has been playing for a long time so I just expected him to know his rules. Guess I'll be studying that little book again lol

So that's why I struggled so much. Nope he had all three out at one time. I was wondering about whether that was allowed, but didn't know the rules well enough to call him on it. Truthfully, just that right there would have been a huge changer in the game. Now I feel stupid lol. Oh well. Another thing I just found that he was doing wrong: For You, Master. He was using it across the entire table. I'm realizing that I just ended up getting beat because a lot of rules were completely skewed in that game.

He ran Bete, Mortimer, and nurse and then 6 or 7 Canine Remains. He used his dogs as springboards to launch McMourning around the table. The Nurse didn't end up doing anything because I killed it quickly, but Bete was on a rampage. Throughout the game he also summoned 3 Rogue Necromancies, those really hurt.

Hey all. I'm part of a league and I just played a game against McMourning and lost horribly. For some reason I just couldn't keep up with McMourning. I never thought of him being all that fast of a Master, but when I went against him I completely got slaughtered. At the time I was playing Lady Justice, but I don't think that things would have gone much better with Sonnia instead. I'm going to be playing this same guy again soon and don't have any clue as to what I should do. Know this, I'm still pretty new to Malifaux in general, so some obvious things might not be that way to me as of yet. Any help that you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

20SS just to put down 2 Austringers and Lucius just seems a little much to me. I mean yeah I've used Lucius to tie up Lady J. for about 3 full rounds, I couldn't kill her but I kept getting my trigger. I mean that's fun and all, but for the same amount of SS I could easily have gotten some really nice other models down. I guess I see his usefulness, but I'm not too sure if he'll be one of my go to guys. But what do you all think about putting Nino in with Sonnia? He's only a good shooter, but he does put out a good amount of damage. Or should I instead get something more fast moving to grab objectives?

I see a lot of people hype up Lucius, but I just don't see why. I mean he's 10SS for not all that much in my eyes. Yeah he can pull of his Reinforcements spell as well as Issue Command, but is that really enough for 10SS? Because that's all I see him being good for.

Truthfully even after reading that thread I still really like Sam, but then again I haven't been able to use him, or my Sonnia crew, yet. So in truth I'm still a little out on whether or not he's worth using. I like his model and I love his ability to drop Masters/Casters, I have to play against Colette a lot. So I think I'll try him out a few times before I make the final decision. But what about the amount of Soul Stones I should have for different sized games? Does Sonnia need all 8 stones or can she get by with less? If less, how many would the be the least that you would run with?

I've seen everyone's distaste for Samael, but in truth I just don't see where it's coming from. Granted Flaming Bullets needs a 9 to go off, but even still he's still one of the best Master killers I've ever seen. All you have to do is cheat Flaming Bullets and fire off a shot, or if you get lucky two, and poof the master is either burning through Stones like crazy or is dying. Could you guys explain to me how that alone is not worth the 8 Stones that he costs? If nothing else he really can be used to force your enemies Master to move however you want him to. Or am I just blowing up smoke like when I looked at Coppelius and thought that he was crap?

Hey I'm basically a brand new Malifaux player that first picked up the Dreamer then realized that he was extremely overpowered so I stopped playing him, my friends that I play with didn't like getting tabled by turn 4 when I was "doing bad." So instead I've switched over to Sonnia because she just really has a "flare" that I really like. So far I've picked up her box, Sue, and a Witchling Handler. I'm trying to build a 35ss list for an upcoming league, but I just don't know what to take and what to leave. I don't really have any problem picking up new models, but don't want to buy ones that I won't use. So any help you all could offer would be great. Cheers, Nebu
