Nathan Caroland Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Boy they are quiet today River ... I think you lulled them with your song. Don't know why I'm picking on you. Someone help, I'm not qualified. :painkill: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetang22 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Couple of things: You haven't mentioned a gamesize, so that is a detail people are probably looking for before recommending certain models over others. Next, brawls just aren't as popular yet as scraps are, so its probably tougher to find some good help on brawl lists. Good luck none the less.

River Song Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 OoooooooK, Can I do this in a scrap? 30ss Or can this option only be done playing a brawl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetang22 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 OoooooooK, Can I do this in a scrap? 30ss Or can this option only be done playing a brawl Using Justice with the Vik twins is not legal in a scrap. Scraps are 1-master per player games, and Justice and the Vik twins are both masters, therefore not possible. Each would lead their own crew. Brawls are 2 master games (using masters of the same faction). Justice and Vik are from 2 different factions, so you wouldn't normally be able to field them....HOWEVER, Vik twins are the premium mercenaries of the game and can join masters from any faction (for the right price ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wombats Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Fielding Viks with Justice is why Our Good Lord saw fit to invent swift knees to the undercarriage. Not as bad as Viks and Lilith, though. If you do want a whole bunch of beatsticks, why not just the Viks, the three Ronin models out soon and Misaki or Hammerstrike? That is your standard 25SS game right there. It will be one-dimensional but the saturation of high damage melee models will give it a good chance against many lists. Its also a very nice starter's list, you pretty much can't do anything wrong with them as long as you make a beeline for the opposing crew and hug cover where necessary.

paperbag4 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I would put in Nino and the gunslinger, a little range will help you get into combat intact. After that I've got nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Song Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Why is it not many play Brawls? Seems like it would more interesting to have the combination of characters then the cookie cutter gangs that are pretty standard for a Scrap.

Wombats Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 It takes a while to get your head around one Master's abilities. Hell, I've been playing for months and I still know I could be doing more with Raspy's Whiteout and Ice Pillars. Adding in the complexity of two Masters, multiply by the number of permutations of activating 35SS+ worth of models in various sequences...that is a big logistical undertaking. The time a game takes increases exponentially...its best to get fast at the small games then build up to the biggies. Why are your Scrap crews cookie-cutter? Make sure to select your crew after you know your objective - I'm running Raspy with Hoarcats/Cerberus, Arachnid Swarms and her regular Ice Golem crew...depending on whats needed. Stick an Ice Golem with December's Touch out front against a Slaughter opponent - hilarity ensues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higherbrow Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Yeah, I'm still learning Scraps. Brawls are a bit beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetang22 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Why is it not many play Brawls? Seems like it would more interesting to have the combination of characters then the cookie cutter gangs that are pretty standard for a Scrap. There's still not really any cookie-cutter combinations outside of the box sets. People are still trying to find out what is "good" compared to other models in the game. The catch...the game is pretty balanced to begin with, but then good really depends on what your objectives are for the game. Basically, good can mean a lot of different things in Malifaux. As for scraps vs. brawls...like many said, brawls just plain take longer, have more minis, have more managing to do...and just plain more of the "chores" that people don't want to deal with when playing a skirmish game. I'm sure there's plenty that feel differently, but this game is so new that many people are still trying to wrap their heads around strategy in smaller games.

AoM Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Taelor. Can't go wrong with a 3 hammer that puts out a 3/4/6 spread. Nino and the Convict for ranged and card control. Add a pair of Witchlings for more melee, ranged, anti-magic, and an explosive insurance policy. 35 stones on the nose (with Viktoria's For the Money rule). Smallest Brawl possible. For a 45 stone Brawl, throw in the Austringer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capsfan34 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I love both those box sets, that's why I snagged them. Lady J is the bomb. Also the executioner is a great add to the Lady J box. A great salesmen told me that... :-)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumaKaze Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Sweet! Just ordered Lady J and the Twins! Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the Viks can be hired like normal mercs. The REST of the crew in their battle box can be, but I don't remember them having a SS cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadpiratelynx Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 You can have 2 Masters in a Brawl, so you could use them with Lady J in that case. Usually you get your 2nd Master for free, but with the Viks, they'll actually cost you 5ss to use alongside another master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
