Sorry if this is clear..but has booking gone live for this yet? Got a few guys interested.. Like 4/5 from our club..just wondering if we've missed the boat? Bad Cat

The clue here gentlemen and beasts is in the title.. I am proabably participating in a Malifaux tournament for the first time soon, November ish. I may head up to the GT too, but this is a little local one day thing. It's fixed list, so I thought Kirai could rock it. I've been playing her with the Chuck Norris of Malifuz himself, Von Schill.. but this tournie will have just one "leader".. At 25ss I thought I'd run: Kirai Lost Love 2 3 Seishin 6 2 Desperate Mercs 4 Datsue Ba 7 2 Gaki 6 That's bang on 25ss, I find Kirai on her own doesn't really use them that much. It does have the tricksy Gaki/Seishin generators in the Mercs...max Seishin for protection and lols.. Can add Onryo, Shikome, Jaakuna to this through summoning, obviously Ik as well. What am I going to struggle with like this? Any experienced tournie guys like to weigh in? Anyone for that matter lol!

Hey all, I'm pretty up for this... are tickets still on sale? It appears they are? I'm a 40k tournie regular, but not a 'faux vet, just play for fun usually - fancied a change in tournament scene..

Thanks for all the thoughts guys.. I'm going to keep playing away with these Lilith ideas.. at least until my 10T Misaki stuff arrives.. but I really enjoy the vampiric/violent nature of the Nephilim. I've been on and off with these guys since book one.. they just keep coming back! I'll be trying Nekima out this weekend.. will leave feedback here then.. Ta, BC

@96p - not a bad crew actually.. decent model count, which is my main concern with Nekima.. How is it 8 BC in turn 1? Blood from a Stone used as well from Lilith to drain the Soulstones? 2 from the 2 Tots killing the 2 DM's. Blood Sense on Nekima getting 2 Blood Sense on BBS getting 2.. 6.. I guess you mean to Blood from a Stone as well? I'd rather keep the SS on Lelith I think.. But could do 4 Tots to Youngs and one then up to a Mature with 6 Blood Counters right? keeping the SS for later use for mega attacks, defence or transpositions etc for lilith?

@CunningStunt: Model build and transportation is a huge factor as well! I am not a huge fan of metal mini's in the first place, let alone large unwieldy buggers.. that said.. it doesn't stop me buying them anyway! I like the 3rd Tot to run around and ojective grab and maybe even keep til later in the game for a Masked up Sprint..situational of course.. However, the necessity of decent Masks to Grow the Tots requires some serious cards in your hand, cycling through them with 8 down to 7 in hand is a great way of finding a few cards.. @LupusFerreous: I guess if I'm looking at opponents with low model counts too, then she is a viable option, perhaps. @Sybaris: Those first points are exactly what I was using the BBS for... and perhaps I am just having a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to one game where I've not really felt him shine. Certainly I had no lack of Blood Counters after that first "sacrifice", this was not a problem for the rest of the game.. But after this, sure he was the nearby Neverborn that allowed latter stage growth, but other than providing Poison to Lilith it didn't work out too well. On a rules note: am I right in thinking that you cannot do the same (0) action twice in one activation even with instinctual (+1), so I can't give Lilith Poison and a (1) charge? Or can you, in which case I may reconsider some elements.. gives some real utility to Matures with a (1) charge... Back on Nekima.. I do remember once gunning her down with an admittedly lucky hand/flips with Nino and just thinking.. "meh. That it? How many ss!?" - the moral? her Df is not as good as her offence - by a WAY.. Really appreciating the input guys, keep it up! Educate me! Ta, BC

So a couple of options to explore there.. I'd like to keep the 3 Tots I think CunningStunt, but how about just losing the Primordial Magic and Black Blood for Tuco & 1ss more for Lilith? On Nekima...I just don't know.. it is sooooo many points! Sure, I could ditch the Shaman, but I'd have to lose the Twins too as you point out 96p.. Hmm.. how would that shape up? Lilith Nekima - 13/14? How much no book at work.. 2 Tots - 6ss 2 x Desperate Mercs 4ss 2 x Young Neph 12ss That works at 35ss on the assumption (possibly false lol) that Nekima is 13ss.. It's just such a low model count. It does mean I can more than likely have lilith, Nekima and 4 Young's from Turn 1. Quite scary. but seriously low on activations and model count for table quarters, objective grabbing etc. It's Nekima.. just too many points! Thoughts? Ta, BC

Hey, Tuco is 7ss I believe, the BBS is 6ss... I'd need to lose the totem to afford Tuco.. but I was just wondering about getting some ranged threats in the list too..which I know is not really a Neverborn thing but.. Have you used Tuco much? What are his primary strengths in relation to a list like mine? Ta, BC

Hi guys, Back into Malifaux after a while out and getting back into Lilith, old master but still a cracking crew to play.. At 35ss, with all the new books, toys etc since her release...does she need to pull ALL the tricks to win? I ran a 35ss crew last night: Lilith Primordial Magic 3 x Terror Tots 2 x Desperate Mercs Black Blood Shaman Lelu Lilitu I found that with 2 of the Tots killing the Mercs straight away for Blood Counters, and then having a reasonably killy crew anyway, that I just didn't need the Black Blood Shaman to help grow the 3rd Tot, nor did I really need the BBS for when the Young Neph's (later in the game) wanted to grow themselves... I found Lilith to be just as hardcore as ever, still a machine in melee, but still not to just be thrown out there on her own.. she's not THAT survivable versus a whole crew lol! Enjoyed the Twins, Tots/Neph do their thing well.. But just didn't think I needed the Shaman and the Mercs..Mercs stay for their value.. Shaman goes and saves 6ss? Another Merc and another Tot? But that still leaves the need for a decent Mask in hand x 3! I could start with a Young Nephilim for 6ss or drop the Primordial Magic and get Tuco for some range and an extra soulstone? Ideas/Suggestions guys? Ta, BC
