Thridi Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hi Malifolks I exclusively play Malifaux with my wife. We both started with box sets (me Mei Feng and her Rasputina) and are now at the stage where we are looking at adding to our respective teams. The one thing I seem to have had the most trouble with so far up against her crew is cracking armour, especially on the golem. What are the best options in TT for making armour less of a PITA. I'm thinking Willie as he adds some ranged threat as well as some scheme marker control but would take any suggestions. Cheers dears.

Mister Shine Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Lone Swordsman has a trigger for just plain ignoring Armor and a bunch of other defensive conditions. Alternate option is weight of attacks, especially with something like the Rail Golem vvvvvv Also this. Listen to the mean man, not me. Im too nice lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonevilstein Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 The "Hard Worker" upgrade exclusively for Foundry models is your immediate answer. It has a 0 tactical action "Precise Assault" for any foundry model (Kang, Rail Workers, Metal Gamin, Rail Golem, Willie, Mei Feng herself) in LoS, which allows them to discard a card in return for ignoring Armour and Hard to Wound. Combined with Kang's "The Worker's Champion" ability, it is particularly nasty against constructs. With that combination, pretty much every Foundry model bar the Metal Gamin (who already have "Magnetism" though which also ignores armour) can be a constructs worst nightmare. For the Rail Golem the 0 tactical action competes with "Locomotion", however if you get a couple of Locomotion attacks in, ignoring armour is almost irrelevant as it does so much damage anyway! I feel bad now. Don't tell your wife I told you this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thridi Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Cheers Evil, perfect advice. I don't have the Golem as yet but regardless I'll try that out and see if I can't crack into her golem and gamin more effectively. Oh and I'm pretty sure she's scheming over in the Arcanists threads so I'm not that fussed. That and she hands me my arse in almost every game we play, I've almost retired my Netrunner decks from game night more than once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Thankfully my wife doesn't play "dolly soldiers" as I suspect I'd be suffering the same fate. Honestly, some ladies have got a real merciless competitive streak running through them...

MasterDisaster Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Alternative options are to hire in some Mercs that are designed to carve through armour. The obvious ones that come to mind are Ronin, Hans, Taelor and if memory serves Bishop may also ignore armour. I don't have my book on me but don't 10T Samurai have the same Daito that Ronin have so they can ignore armour as well right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_havoc Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yeah Samurai ignore armour too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
