Cheers for the advice guys. I ended up taking a Nico crew and took crooked men for their blast counters (which just ended up being a bit of an annoyance, but nothing more for collodi). The main thing that seemed to work was the amount of times he forgot about slow to die. I still got beaten, but I don't think I've won a game against Collodi and/or Zoraida yet.

Ok so I'm fairly new to Malifaux, but I've played enough games to know I hate playing against Collodi. I've bought Lazarus, with the thought that his blasts could be particularly handy against a group of marionettes. But just looking at Collodis info in the book I noticed his (1) action A Puppets Soul doesn't specify "friendly". Am I right in saying that Collodi's "Perfect Machine" means that my opponent can stop me assimilating "A Puppets Soul" and sacrificing his dolls for my own gain? I know I'm probably answering my own question, but just wanted to make sure before I ruled it out as a tactic. Cheers
