So...new to Malifaux and trying to stick to plastics although I have a few metals (Cat, RSR, marcus, myranda, 3molemen) from a friend in addition to the plastic box. I also have Raspy's crew box.
At our FLGS we are having a slowfaux league. This month is 35ss and next month is 50ss.
I've been doing well so far...one issue. shooting... namely my butt was shot to death by Ophelia and her little buddies. The score would have been 9-6 but after murdering everything (RSR last to die on turn 5) he got 2 extra turns to remove my 6 line in the sand scheme markers leaving the score 9-3 ouch. I was told hiding behind buildings and taking bodygaurd scheme was my best option. We had Reckoning as the strategy so those gun guys were really after my butt and despite soft cover and hard cover I was blown to bits. When my beasts don't have leap I feel like I'll be trapped behind a building waiting to get shot up and not scoring any strategy points.
I know Lady J is in the league as well and I haven't faced her yet but the gremlins seem outright insane with an extra AP....also the positive flip on shooting doesn't help.
Wish I had slurids or hoarcats but I'll be waiting for plastics. What else can I do especially with this strategy and matchup???
I used the box set with one upgrade on Marcus for the Regen....35ss...Just his 4 stone cache.
