The great about Malifaux is that there is no need for 'all comers' lists. You know the objectives before you build a crew so if you aren't worried about winning just pick whatever you have and see where it goes. If you do want a shot at victory then pick your crew according to the schemes and then choose the schemes you want according to what your opponent has taken in their crew (i.e don't take assassinate against Leveticus, don't take deliver a message if Sidir is on the board, flip the table if your opponent is using the rat engine etc.) then have fun.

Yeah, this part of the game is something I really liked about Malifaux when I was first learning about it.  Unfortunately, this list is for an event that requires models to be painted.  So I'm limited to the few models for the entire event that I will own and be able to paint by the end of April.  After the event, I'm totally getting more stuff!

I played a demo of Malifaux at Adepticon and I decided to get into the game. So I bought Shenlong's box.  My FLGS is hosting a huge 50 person event at the end of the month.  I decided to take the plunge and I signed up.

My dilemma is that I have to get my shenlong crew up to 50ss and then paint everything.  With a little over two weeks, I'm trying to keep the model count low.

The tournament isn't super competitive and I'm just going to have fun and meet other malifaux players.  So I'm not worried about having the most competitive list, especially since I'm limited to one master.  But I would like to at least put up a fight.

I'm thinking something like this:

4ss cache

Shenlong,wandering

Sensei yu, promising disciple

1 peasant

2x katanaka snipers

Izamu, recalled training

2x tengu

I only have to buy 3 more boxes that way, and I can swap out something with a high river monk or two if I feel like I need it.  I don't think I'll have time or money to buy and paint more than 3 boxes of stuff.
