its gremlin time

Hi there, new to Malifaux and now firmly of a mind that its a game I want to get in to. However, I have the same issue with this game that I have with stuff like MtG or WMH - so many unique dudes, all with unique abilities, its just too hard for a newbie to keep track of. I'm wondering if there is a guide out there to the models and masters of malifaux, summed up in easy to understand english? Not a rote description of their abilities, or excessively in depth, but a basic guide of what they do, best ways to kill them, and especially what your opponent is probably using them for etc etc? Cheers for any advice

Cheers for the help guys. I'm going for Marcus + God's Domain + Imbued Energy Cerberus + Imbued Energy Rattler Cojo Myranda Open to suggestions but probably be too late to change I'm just going to punch Nicodem or Mortimer in the dick and then see what I can do re; schemes For the guy asking about points - its 35.

Hi everyone, I'm very new to the game and in need of some help. I've got a few models from three factions - Gremlin, Thunders, Arcanists - and I'm considering Arcanists and Thunders for a noob tourney event that is coming up (Gremlins seem more suited for experts) I've had four games, and all of them sofar have been against Rezzers. Often against Nicoderm zombie summon, which I haven't the faintest idea how to deal with. In another thread, I was told "Go for objectives" and "go very aggro, he needs high cards to summon and high cards for combat, he cannot do both!", and that latter advice got me thinking about getting Marcus and Co out of their box and onto the table, as opposed to my not-Indiana Jones led thunders crew So I'm wondering, is the Marcus starter good as is for a 35ss tourney? (I believe its 34ss if you use everything in the box) What are some changes people would recommend for dealing with Nicodem summon - I got Hoarcats, Silurids, and the tree monsters whose names elude me right now, plus I can probably borrow most other stuff. Right off the bat the Cerberus, murderkong mega gorilla, and Marcus all charging up together looks fun and effective for pressuring the enemy. Are the snake, the respawning rabbit creature, and Marcus' girlfriend all essential for this type of strategy or should they be changed out? Cheers for any advice

That was a great post Strumpet, thanks for the advice!

Hi everyone, I'm very new to this game, having picked up Gremlins, Thunders, and Marcus from Arcanists. I've only had four games, but every single one of them has been against Rezzers, and they seem from my noobish PoV to just be unstoppable. They can outnumber me severely, whilst not really being much weaker in a fight, and can constantly spawn new dudes each of which is a massive pile of wounds or can halve your dudes life or whatever. I'm wondering, whats the best way for Thunders to deal with Rezzers in a kill em all mission. I know your suppost to go for objectives etc, but I can handle that part myself - I need some way to halt or at least stem the tide of never ending flesh constructs that just steamroll over my dudes!
