Ok so I started playing malifaux with my bf about a month ago. After him telling me about all the fractions and stuff I felt a connection to molly and the ressers, obviously I cant play molly so I started off with seamus to see how it went. I seemed to fail miserably. After my ego took quite a beating I decided maybe the ressers weren't for me. So I decided to try the outcasts as I liked the power the viks have. Played them for the first time the other day and although I didnt win, and I lost both of the viks by turn 2, I think, I enjoyed playing the crew I had alot more. My crew was a convict, 2 ronin, vanessa, sue, student of conflict, I think there was something else but cant remember. Anyway, he played arcs and did most of the damage with ramos by controlling my convict and getting him to shoot the crap out of my crew, well played I thought. He said my main downfall was that I held the viks back too long as they work better in combat. Anyone got any tips as who I should have in my crew to benefit them and what the best upgrades are. Also the whole sisters thing confuses me, like the moving them to be near eachother and stuff so help with that would be much appreciated

Thanks for the advice drix. I usually go for the bag o tools upgrade over sinister rep as it seems the meatiest attack wise but im leaning more to sinister now because of the lowering of wp. Ive not used the red chapel upgrade yet but having a different (0) action to go off would be useful especially being able to back alley more freely. Next game is tomorrow and we are gonna swap fractions so I can see what my ressers are really capable of and also so I can get a better understanding of what his fraction does fingers crossed I dont get my ass kicked again lol

Thanks ratty, Yeah thats what he said too. He also said im better off using the open spaces too as I have a good shoot range

Ok so played again today, I lost, miserably. Izikial said I messed up with my deployment and thats what lost me the game. I couldn't see it when he first pointed it out but I understand now. I had aolt more confidence in playing as I get the game now like focusing on getting points and not killing everything first, I just struggle with deployment. My ego has taken a battering but im not gonna give up.

Ah ok thanks fedid. I think I will give a nurse a try on our next game

Thanks guys. This is the problem, I forget to place corpse markers when something has died, I get over excited at killing something and turn into an airhead lol. Would you use belles or doxies more? I mean if I can summon doxies then why not hey, but do I really need them?

Ok so I lost again... im thinking im going to get mortimer to try him out im not really feelin sybelle. I think I would have had a bit of a better chance if we had remembered the corpse counters but I think I still would have lost. I need to remember to use my back ally action for seamus and pick the right schemes for my fraction. Any ideas on what sort of plan I should have against lynch?

Sorry ment to write on that. Thanks yeah I need to get more familiar with what my belles are capable of. And yeah when I read up on crooligans they sounded pretty cool and i like the sound the hanged too

Hi yeah I am. Thanks that would be awesome! you have been a massive help.

I didnt say she wasnt. Only going to proxy cause I want to see if I get on with her before I buy her.

Thanks for the info guys. Its been a big help. Im reluctant to buy wave 2 metal models, id rather wait till they are plastics. Ive read up on yin and im thinking of proxying her. Definitely going to go for the hanged and Im tempted to have at least 1 nurse. And im thinking im going to play molly as horror as it looks more fun. Thanks again

Ive got the seamus box set. I played my first game yesterday, really enjoyed it even tho lost seamus in the first turn, made the mistake of putting him out there, unprotected. Im only really playing seamus cause Im waiting for molly to come out. Im using madame sybelle as my henchman but I do like mortimer too but unsure who would be best? Im also thinking of getting some other minions in addition to my belles. My preferences would be, the hanged, necropunk and canine remains. Anybody got any suggestions on what would work well with molly when I get her and also what will benefit seamus while I use him in the meantime? And also my damage felt a little low with the starter box bu my boyfriend thinks this is possibly because I lost seamus early on
