Malifaux tournament report: Fate Fading (50SS); 29Nov2014
Captain Sparks replied to Argentbadger's topic in Battle Reports
As the Lucius player, I felt very much on the back foot. It was my 1st event with guild (I normally play 10T or dabble in Gremlins) and it was only the 2nd time Lucius had hit the table. the fact that I was utterly exhausted (had like 10 mins sleep the night before) really didn't help neither. I can see he has some real potential but really should have left him home until I'd had some more practice with him. My model pool for him was also pretty limited - I'm looking into the new Hoffman set since it's got some nice, hard minions which will also do some good with McCabe (my current go-to master when not playing 10T). I also should admit, the next day i had another proper look at the cards and realised in my stupor I'd completely misread 'Watch My Back' - it doesn't give the equipped model (in this case Lucius) Accomplice but all friendly guardsmen in play. Although it wouldn't really have affected the result that much since I was thoroughly decimated I have to admit it was a rookie mistake, my bad & I apology . With that in hindsight, i probably should have saved the stones. If i had I could have prevented last turn and the Bossman may have survived long enough to steal your territory makers as he was just in range with Legalese while claiming my own. As for the game itself, I still had fun & Im lucking forward to a rematch once I've properly learned how the bugger works! Or just drop McCabe on the board, he seems to like me more -
Seems strange to what's been said here but I've been using him as a target for Bodyguard. He's fast enough to avoid most situations, can push out of combat and still take a potshot & is squishy enough that if you have another big target (like Sidir in most of my cases) people overlook him as a valid bodyguard choice. Was at an event yesterday where bodyguard came up 3 times & 3 times he nabbed me 3VP at the end of the game completely unhurt while picking off targets of opportunity & dropping the odd scheme. He can also be an utterly ludicrous tank if you run McCabe and/or Francisco - Df8, Wp7, Bulletproof +2, Armour +1, Regen +2 & Hard to Wound if he's completely stacked with buffs. Plus half of these buffs will also have gotten use or will get used elsewhere that turn too so you're not really spending to many more SS on him.

Five Bayou types y'all Gremlins gots ta get!
Captain Sparks replied to Hateful Darkblack's topic in The Bayou
In no particular order: Ol Cranky, Gracie, Slop Hauler, Francois & the humble Bayou Gremlin. Reasons? Pretty much everything has been said above somewhere. -
Where do the characters come from......?
Captain Sparks replied to SurreyLee's topic in News, Reviews, & Discussion
I thought this too although he seems more similar to Lei Kung given he's all powerful but chooses to stay at a lower political position to teach & influence. Lazarus fits Lazarus since he's (technically) reborn in his current robotic form. -
Interested here too
-
McCabe - Thunders player for the most part so no real surprise there, but he's the only master I actually prefer playing in their 'other' faction. Plus I love the Horsie brigade His fluff is a little thin I admit but its not really bad.

I actually found the gremlins easier to glue together. Getting one of the ronin's arms to line up properly caused me more grief than the swing on the whiskey golem...

Ten Thunders Tournament Master - Misaki or McCabe
Captain Sparks replied to SurreyLee's topic in The Ten Thunders
McCabe. I find that he's so much more flexible than Misaki and makes quite a few schemes easy with his upgrades. -
Interested here too.

I'm very interested fella. Will have to see if I can make it down - Scott Parkin

Fuhatsu. What are people's impressions?
Captain Sparks replied to DeleteAccount's topic in The Ten Thunders
I used him on Thursday and he made really good ranged support for Mei Feng. I used him for overwatch vs a 10T Misaki Crew at 30ss and sat him just back from the scoring area in Turf war until I needed the extra body. Mei did her thing (ending up causing havoc in the opponents deployment zone turn 1), a Metal Gamin & rail worker sat to claim on strategy while giving a soft(er) target in the open to pull a big gun in for Frame for Murder from the worker while Fuhatsu slowly waddled up taking potshots at anybody who strayed into scoring range & wasn't engaged. Since he was difficult to take out and wasn't actively scoring until late in the game, he got pretty much ignored which allowed me to walk into position & shoot with him in 3 turns, killing a model each time he did so. Can't comment on the (2) action yet as I only used it once that game and flipped no higher than a 4 vs a torokage Will probably get some more games in with him on Sunday. I'm eager to try Recalled Training on him and/or use him alongside McCabe. -
Was unsure about him before now but after seeing this I may need to invest in him The monks are also gorgeous models. I was well impressed by the quality of them.

Relatively new player desperately looking for crew advice
Captain Sparks replied to Jordan275's topic in Malifaux Discussion
Don't mean to impose, but WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE SCHILL RUNS WILD ON YOU? But in all seriousness, that pull from the judge in the last game is the type of thing you need to look out for more often. I don't think that could have been timed better I should have maybe taken that as well instead of relying on a last turn fluke 3vp from plant evidence... Also don't be too disheartened by luck - there's no way in hell my korpsman is gonna be able to pull all three face crows & a face ram on a triple negative damage flip again (I used my Joker to Leg Drop Justice the turn before ). I'm sure that'll come back to bite me in another game ><- 21 replies
