Frozen Feet Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Hello friends of the Arcanist Faction In November i have to play a 'Malifaux Evolution Tournament'! Means: First Game: Enforcers Brawl Second Game: Hardcore Henchman (the Enforcer of game one, has to be included) Third Game: 50SS, Standard Deployment, Collect the Bounty ( the Complete H.H. Crew of game two, has to be included) Fourth Game: Hardcore Henchman (allowed are only models that where hired in game three) -eventually attached Upgrades may be changed between the games- I do own the following Crews -Rasputina with a whole lot of additional 'frozen Hearted' models -Marcus with lots of additional Beasts -Kaeris with some MSU additions, including Johan. -Collette only with an additional Angelica I do not have (for example): -Hank, -Joss. So what are your ideas which models i have to play to claim the victory for the Arcanists. Never mind about: if i do own the Model or not. Any suggestions are absolutely welcome. -Greets Tobi aka Frozen Feet- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnab Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I think my standard Henchmen Hardcore list would work as a pretty good base for this. So it'd be: Game 1: Ice Golem + Imbued Energies Games 2 & 4: Snow Storm, Ice Golem, Ice Gamin, Silent One Game 3: Rasputina, Snow Storm, Ice Golem, Ice Gamin, Silent One, +19ss of things to fit schemes and playstyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Feet Posted October 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 @retnab Pretty nice lists and in my opinion: unpretentious to run also.... Thanks a lot!! My last thoughts where little bit more complicated: Game 1: Blessed of December+ Imbued Energies or Imbued Protection Game 2&4: Snowstorm, Blessed of December, Angelica, Performer Game 3: Marcus+ Arcane Reservoir+ Imbued Energies+ Gods Domain, Snowstorm, Angelica, Dawn Serpent, Slate Ridge Mauler, Performer, 2xMalifaux Raptor, 4SS Angelica & Performer to have a bit more boardcontrol..

Frozen Feet Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Arrgh... Holy Cow... Where has the Bleessed of December gone ... blown up in a mindstorm of myself, i think.. As Mentoned before: ANY HELP IS WELCOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxbedlam Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 If you go Blessed into Snowstorm for rounds 1 and 2, I'd go Raspy for round 3. Raspy (Cold Nights, Sieze, Resevoir) Snowstorm (Sub Zero) Blessed Silent one Acolyte Wendigo 2 X ice gamin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Feet Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Thanks a lot! Pretty nice & straight Crew. So the fingers all point to Raspy?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnab Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Thing about Henchmen Hardcore is you need your 4 models to all be doing some killing or support. I'd say go all out on the Frozen Heart theme, or all out on the Beast theme. Mixing them probably won't go so well. If you're going to go the Beast route, maybe something like: Game 1: Sabertooth Cerberus + Imbued Energies Games 2 & 4: Myranda + Seize The Day, Sabertooth Cerberus, 2x Poison Gamin Game 3: Marcus, Myranda, Sabertooth Cerberus, 2x Poison Gamin, +23ss I'm not a Marcus player so I'm not really familiar with the beasts, but something like that probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Feet Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 I played Marcus and his crew about 20 times.. Always compared to the 'only Beasts' background. Generelly they seem to me a little bit too glassy, when i do play them 'Arcanist only Beasts' style... Love to add a Dawn Serpent and/or Rogue Necromancy to add some durability to the Crew. And as runners i usually prefer Guild Hounds But in this Evolution setting it's a little bit complicated to hire them.. Because i am only allowed to do so in Game 3.. All in all your Core Crew is a nice one. Thanks a lot.. But because i do live in Germany and i aint pre-confirmed ripples of fate, i do own it just for 4 days now... ...no 4th wave models at all.. When i do play tournaments and run Raspy, i am always afright of to much terrain on the board... Last two events i played only Kaeris and Marcus because of too much obstacles between me and my pray.. May it be like: I HAVE TO BUY RAMOS, JUST TO OWN HANK?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Feet Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Here are my latest confused thoughts: Game 1 : Blessed of December+ Imbued Energies Game 2&4 : Cassandra, Blessed of December, Angelica, Performer Game 3 : Colette +Arcane Reservoir +Nothing up my Sleeve +Cabaret Choreography, Mech Dove, Cassandra +Imbued Energies +Smoke&Mirrors, Blessed of December +Imbued Energies, Angelica +Imbued Energies, Silent One, Performer, Mannequin ... 3SS Forgot to mention the following: - there is always a second Scheme available in the 'Henchman Hardcore' format: Cursed Object..

Frozen Feet Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Yesterday i played 2 'Henchman Hardcore' test games vs. Ressers ! Cassandra, Angelica, Blessed of December and Performer vs. Madame Sybelle, Rogue Necomancy, Rotten Belle, Nurse 1 Victory 1 Defeat In my opinion it was all about winning the initiative flip..

Frozen Feet Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Played my last test game... it was the 50SS, game 3 (Collect the Bounty), setup.. Rasputina+Cold nights+Seize the Day+Arcane Reservoir , Wendigo , Snow Storm+IE+Warding Runes , Blessed of December+IE , December Acolyte , Silent One , Malifaux Raptor ...only 3SS VS.: Seamus+Mad Haberdasher+Red Chapel Killer+Sinister Reputation , Copycat Killer , Madame Sybelle+Bleeding Tongue , Anna Lovelace , Izamu , 2xRotten Belle , Nurse .... 3SS also took the 2 following Schemes: Exhaust their Forces & Frame for Murder (Blessed of December) Was an awesome Game... Turn one: Ice Gamin was LURED and killed by the afford of half the Resser crew Turn two: Blessed of December Killed one Belle and is subsequently killed by Madame Sybelle.. 3:1 VP Turn three: Seamus kills the Wendigo, Raspy paralyzed Seamus and Izamu... 3:2 VP Turn four: Raspy paralyzed Seamus and Izamu , Copycat kills the Raptor, December Acolyte shoots the Nurse (the Ressers Sucker) straight to the hospital. Anna placed a Marker for leave your Mark, Snow Storm killed the other Belle and 'exhausts' the paralyzed Seamus 5:4 VP Turn five: Raspy paralyzed Seamus and Madame Sybelle. Another 'exhaust' tick on Seamus, Anna Placed another Marker, Izamu beats Raspy down to 8 WD .... 6:5 VP OVER... thats just a very short summary of the game we played... Have had lots of Ice Pillars on the table. It was the first time i have played the Seize the Day upgrade and i won every single Ini flip ! Paralyze was absolutely enervating for my opponent.. Before that, i played Raspy just as a massive damage dealer. THANKS A LOT... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
