madaxeman Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 There's a vague possibility that there are lots of DBx-based historical miniatures/Malifaux crossover gamers on this forum, but for those of you who aren't in that (probably small) demographic, I've posted a match report from my first ever game of Malifaux on my website http://www.madaxeman.com/reports/Malifaux_2014_1.php The game was an over-ambitious Mei Feng vs Sonia Criid 50 SS attempt, that we managed to get through in about 5 hours, which is not too bad given neither of us had ever played before - some of the combos were rather complex. The report features a washup from Mei herself, and also critical analysis from Steampunk Hannibal. Hope you all enjoy it - there may be more... ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godlyness Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Welcome to malifaux. Hope both of you had quite a bit of fun. Player skill and knowing what you opponent's things do help mitigate a lot of the perceived luck of the game. But get more games under your belt and you will be well on your way of understanding the more intricacies of this game. Side note grab the books and read the fluff. It is what makes this a character driven skirmish game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madaxeman Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Welcome to malifaux. Hope both of you had quite a bit of fun.

But get more games under your belt and you will be well on your way of understanding the more intricacies of this game. Side note grab the books and read the fluff. It is what makes this a character driven skirmish game. To be honest it felt like it had a lot less "luck" than most games I've played before - the card mechanic generally, cheating fate and the fact you need such a huge swing in combat results to achieve anything other than at least a (-) damage flip or worse meant it played out accoring to the choices we both made rather than 'luck' per se. There is a loooot of stuff to learn about what your opponents cards and models can do though. We started with a run-through of all our models and cards, which took some time but was very useful in that it cut out a lot of potential "WTF??" moments. We were really picking up the pace towards the end as well, which was encouraging, and starting to see the synergies between the models. i probably need to go back and revisit the report and add in some "lessons learned" at some stage... once I work out what they were!

Arachas Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 First off: AMAZING paint jobs. I also love the bases on both gangs. Great job! Second, you crack me up. LOL! I mean: the Rail Walk / Mega-Ninja Jackhammer Punch followed or preceeded by the rather bitchy Tiger Claw "would you like fries with that ass-kicking?" McDonalds Happy Meal Combo. Hilarious. PLEASE do post more of these, I very much appreciate the time you put into writing this up, explaining some stuff for the newbs and arranging/creating the captioned pics. AWESOME!
