Hi Guys,
A friend of mine and i have recently started Malifaux, i went for Ressers (seamus) and he picked up Neverborn (Dreamer). After getting my head around Dreamers antics and adding Bete to my crew this has always been a pretty close and fun match.
Last week i Picked up my second crew Nicodem along with a Grave Spirt, Crooked Men, Canine Remains and a Flesh Construct. My friend got a Pandora crew, Doppleganger and some other bits and pieces.
We had our first game with our new crews yesterday, i had Nico somewhere i thought he was safe. Pandy had a sorrow or 2 and the doppleganger linked to her and used the push from chain incite's from my minions to move herself to within 3" of Nico.
Then using Project Emotions and burning a soulstone gave me a -flip on my WP duels. Basically it ended with Nico falling back and being smacked for 3-4 damage from WP duels until he was a pile of mulch on the ground. I felt helpless, we realised that zombie fodder was no use and neither was his hard to wound 1 or the armour from the Grave Spirit. We ended the game there as i had no real way of winning at that point.
My question i guess is what to do VS Pandora?
How do you guys play against her?
My plan of using crooked men, decay and punk zombies to blast/indirect hit her didn't really get off the ground and i realised that her The Box Opens ability would mean my Flesh Construct would no longer be immune to WP duels. It is probably worth noting that my control hand was awfull all game and my opponent remarked that his were some of the best he'd had.
Thank you in advance for any advice/tips you can offer.
