Nice writeup and thanks for sharing! I too am experimenting with Hamelin. Wish/expected be would be more about the rats. A 'trick I use sometimes is to stone for a crow on his lure. With a crow card added in it can add 3 blight with one action. Sometimes that's the difference to kill something that more efficient. I stacked enough blight to one-shot a full health peacekeeper on turn 2, once. So far I have tried two different lists. Blighted beater (ashes and dust, two rat kings with servant of darkness upgrades, midnight stalker and nix) and played it aggressively. The amount of movement made it easy to score both schemes turn 1 and then up the threat! Other list I've tried is summoning with Benny. Idea is to make scheme markers yourself to turn into rats. Not sure how effective it is, but it's sure fun and an entirely different list. Gets you into the rat mobility. Next up is to try a more rounded list. So far I have seen a rat catcher on the table or reformed rats into a king. Things either tend to last the game or die before I can react/reform. What would be typical Hamelin lists that you run? Also I wonder what the most possible range to (counterscheme) is when at end of turn you kill two of your own stolen for 4 rats.

I havn't found a lot of info on Leveticus lists. Played him for the first time yesterday, against Zoraida (which I have never faced). She is very strong but managed a win because of atrition. Ashes & Dust is bonkers with fast and a scrap marker on the other side of the table (voodoo doll). Was wondering if people could comment on my list. Felt really all-round and solid. A bit light on scheming, maybe. Game: Reckoning, Flank deployment Search the Ruins, Take Prisoner, Claim Jump, Outflank, Dig Their Graves My crew: Leveticus (6 soulstones pool) - Servant of Dark Powers 2 Hollow Waif Rusty Alice Marlena Webster Ashes and Dust 2 Necropunk Scavenger His list (approximation): Zoraida (2 soulstone pool) First Mate McTavish 2 Silurids Doppelganger Vasilisa Overall my deployment/movement got disrupted a lot first turn. Tried to pressure his crew as much as possible, so sent everything right at it. Attrition quickly turned the game around. Whats your experience playing into Zoraida? Her abusing my focus on ashes & dust really hurt :(

Do we have the same meta? Location: Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands For me here as well - meta is 3-4 reliable players, and a couple of unreliable. There's also people who live just too far away for a casual game, but do tend to come over when there's an event or other organised play. Most winning I couldn't name masters, because for us it's really the player. One of our guys wins most games/tournaments. When he played Neverborn, that was the top faction. He won with a lot of different masters. He's running Ressers Nico now, so he wins quite some, but wouldnt be different if he picked another master. So I would say our meta has winning/strong players more than winning/strong masters. Our biggest gripe? We would like to grow the number of players, but that's really a challenge.

That Sonnia crew looks strangely familiar

It's insane how much mobility this crew makes with the pushes from the investigator and Grimwell. Chain activation makes it fast to react as well. With this setup there's nowhere on the board you can hide (bar hiding models in such a way that they wont impact the game in the first place). The trick to making it even better is not just to push Sonnia forward and hit a semi-clumped up part of your enemies crew, but to have some pushes/things available after that to get her into relative safety. Would really love other peoples experiences on that, as well on the first turn can be played: wait out your opponents moves so you might need less pushes on Sonnia and can anticipate, or just grab initiative first turn, and try to blast their crew before they could get in better positions?

Lets see if I can remember properly Game 1: vs Reva Didnt really blast too much, and was just figuring out how the crew worked. My opponent did a ballsy move to hit Sonnia on a charge turn 1 and killed her. I tried to hide Sonnia with her last AP, but didnt work out the ranges from Reva right. This became a theme where I tried to gouge the return strike from my opponents crews all tournament. Overextended Francisco to kill Reva, but lost too much oomph to win. Actually a game I was about to lose, but given ply and that I could get it on both my last models prevented my opponent from winning the game. Draw! Game 2: vs Yan Lo I played a lot of Yan Lo not too long ago, so knew what to hit. Everything was hidden really well. The Emmisary I could hit with a stone for plus flip. Then add tome for a burning, and as you can shoot three times of him (htk ftw) I blasted away quite some of his crew. Turn two almost everybody else went down. Yan Lo lived, but given the insane mobility with the investigator I could catch him with Francisco. For this game my opponent hampered himself too much trying to place everything so that a blast cannot hit more than one model. I think if your opponent does that he is fighting a downhill battle from the start. Game 3: vs Nicodem (Travis list) Not seen this variant before. With all the pushes I could draw a bead somewhere in the crew, and from turn one half the crew was in shambles. Sure he draws lots of cards, but nothing can make me miss a Ca 9 shot. I was afraid of him summoning and overwhelming me all game, but he couldn't recover from turn 1. Not much to say - he tried to wall himself off, and almost did that. But the tiniest gap, and then the entire crew clumped up, meant lots of burning meat Game 4: vs Nicodem (Jamie list) Sadly paired against a fellow dutchman. I feel this list is better, but that's a dicussion for another time. My opponent kept Nicodem away form me behind a big rocky wall. I could only see HtW models (Mortimer popped mlh turn one). But he spent his high cards summoning, and a ca 9 + 13 was enough for blasts with burning on Mortimer, so I could continue shooting away that side. But the flame walls here decided the battle. Blocking LoS between Nico and the corpses/undead meant he had a hard time replenishing losses and didnt get the plus flips where it mattered. Three turns in a row I killed everything he summoned (and some on the side). And the bits of damage he did werent enough to keep Sonnia away. The effigy being the hero there. Tough battle, but after turn 3 I just mopped up everything. <intermezzo, 4 games against rezzers day 1. The faction I played the most, so that certainly helped! Had a lot of Vodka in the evening, hehe> Game 5: vs Shen Long Never played against Shen Long. Was a nice game, where I failed to kill Yasanori in the first two turns. I was a bit overzealous with my focus for dg, thus only just not killing him (miscalced my dg potential because of the armor). Shen was very versatile and able to fill in the role of beater once yas was gone, and the combined pressure made Sonnia fall over. In hindsight I should have focussed more on yas with the rest of my crew, instead of chipping away somewhere else too quick in advance. Also my opponent handling Shen as good, and making the right calls made that he got in the charge/blast/conditions/whatever he does to slay Francisco AND Sonnia in one activation of Shen. Revenge for his brother as well Game 6: vs Lilith Here I feel I made a big mistake. First turn I took down the sniper with 2 of the 3 changelings and Iggy. I really needed them down. Gave away take one for the team, which I might have been able to avoid if I wanst so burned upon killing everything. But the big mistake was forgetting about my malifaux child, and thus doing some silly action with another model instead of walling Sonnia off from the countercharge from Lilith. Even then I could have kept her away enough, but my brain was fried. Well played by my opponent - Lilith is really strong! Overall I feel that I could've won more games if I knew the crew better. Saw no pool where I couldn't wield her. Really wonder how she goes against other opponents. I really hated armour, for example, because the blast does almost no dg with that. So for example Sandeep I have no idea if it works. Sonnia is quite sturdy, with Df 7 Wp9 and soulstones to survive any retaliation on turn 1 I've seen. So I could always get 6 shots in, which in most cases meant I would win the game if Sonnia was still alive turn 3. No idea how usefull this write-up is. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask! Sadly I havnt ran her since. The Malifaux community is really small in Holland; and I can't run this against my friends, as I will lose them!

Thanks for the kind words, but I must admit this list is heavily inspired by Duncan Blitz. He ran Sonnia very succesfully in Nova, if I recall, some time ago and this list has been pieced together based upon different facebook threads with lots of discussion about the ideal list. The list indeed almost solely supports Sonnia. I feel there is literally no swap you can make in the list without losing focus. If anything I would like to have something else than Dr Grimwell - he is really weak and/or overcosted, but it's the extra 4" (and a walk to boot!) that makes me just pay whatever he costs. General strategy is to turn one blast three times into your enemy, then repeat top turn 2 as you are almost sure to win initiative. If you didn't do enough damage by then, its very hard to get back into it. But Sonnia can be quite sturdy, so its not all this one trick and lose if your opponent still has something. I discovered that flame wall is insanely powerful, and it makes that Sonnia and this list is actually pretty versatile; either theres not enough terrain/blocking stuff and you can win on blasting your opponent, or theres a lot, and you can seal the deal with good placed flame walls. Some things I tried/found out: There's no deployment where you can't make your opponent on turn one with 3 shots. had a corner deployment where I even had pushes left! Investigator OP! You can setup the entire thing on actiavtion 2 on turn 1. At first I wanted to out-activate my opponent, or at least see what he was up to, I ended up regretting that mostly compared to the few games where I just burned down everything on activation 2. Your opponent is likely to give you initiative first turn, and then he has one move before his too clustered deployment messes him up. If you can - and mostly in hindsight it was possible - try to have a push or something to pull Sonnia a bit back after she has blasted in the turn. This can help a lot. Your opponent's best chance is to take out Sonnia after the second wave of blasts, without too many losses. Every game where Sonnia wasnt pressured a lot I could win, and the games where I lost there where opportunities that I gave away and my opponent capitulated. Playing Sonnia is fun against Nicodem :):):)

I played this list for all the games. Was my first time playing it for real, after one practice game at home. It’s really strong and I feel someone with more experience can easily play top tables with this.

In the proces of getting the Dutch delegation there

And the question: who will be at top then? I am curious!

You can do Yan Lo without including undead/gory models. In general I think you will be hard pressed to not use undeads in Rezzers. Think @Fremen's tip of just painting them as non-undead would work best! Otherwise, consider another faction, or just Rezzers for lolz (Reva is not without undeads, in fact, her corpse candles feature a zombie so would be a no-go).
