Kasrkin Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Knowing very little about this game, I hope you folks can give me some direction :-) I like to learn a game with my own miniatures. But, before I start handing over too much money on models and rulebooks, I'd like to know if what I'm thinking of for a crew is likely to give a fun game or put me off! I have a thing for cavalry armies, I'm always drawn to them in every wargame to the point that my friends roll their eyes and brace themselves for the inevitable trample of hooves even before glue touches a miniature. So in Malifaux, I'm looking at Lucas McCabe, the Lone Marshal and a number of Guild Hounds... Is this a stupid thing for a crew to be built around? I'm not looking for easy victories (I like a close game most) but I really don't want to waste my time and money if such a group would get kerb-stomped every time lol. Thanks for your time!

marshimartian Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Actually, McCabe works amazing with hounds. I've really been wanting to run a list like this myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirial Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Such a crew should work reasonably well in most scenarios, but likely not all, just as any other fixed list in this game (which is not designed for fixed lists). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 If you do the crew with 3 riders and just hounds you must do the Ezyryder. Once against Shang or Kamaitachi you just need to throw the game and hunt that thing all game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no idea what his rules will look like in 2E at the moment, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 It's definitely something I'd like to try at some point. At least in theory it should work alright. All the component models are decent and there's definitely the synergy there for them to work well together. How well it will work on the table will really come down to the strategy and schemes you're playing, but I certainly wouldn't consider it a terrible crew list.

Kasrkin Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 That's great information folks, thank you all. Now if only I could have mounted Guild Guards too I'd be very happy! Uniformed horsemen, can't beat it. It'd be like sending the 8th Cavalry against Cuthulu's minions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Lucas McCabe -- 7 Pool +Badge of Speed [2] +Glowing Sabre [2] +Stragemetal Shirt [1] Luna [4] Guild Hound [3] Guild Hound [3] Guild Hound [3] Guild Hound [3] Pale Rider [12] The Lone Marshal [8] This crew has 9ss left to spend so you can add something like a Pathfinder to act as the scout for your hunting / raiding party and the upgrades were picked at random but it seems like it would be amazing at a good variety of schemes and most of the strategies. This is probably due to McCabes versatility as a Master and his ability to make everything better at it's job. I kind of imagine British Fox hunting when I see this list. A VERY twisted version of Fox Hunting but still... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
