Seamus's BFF Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 So my buddy and I both bought into malifaux the other day on a whim. I picked up the first two rulebooks, and a seamus box set, and I'm wondering where do I go next and how does he play? Something about dead hookers trying to kill the opponent really makes me chuckle (and feel a little bad at the very least) and so I'm excited to start a body count. Also might pick up C. Hoffman soon as I like his figure as well (I know I can't use them together but he just looks so cool ). Anyway, thanks for the help, Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorian Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I'd pick up some punk zombies, they'll provide a nice hard hitting unit. Also crooked men I find useful for scaring opponents off objectives or forcing them to take (3Dg / Paralyzed or rarely killed) for wandering too close.

MadArcanist Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 More Zombie Hookers of Course. Umm Necropunks and I hear the Hanged are really popular with him (including Jack Daw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bigglesworth Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 He has a lot of synergy with the hanged and jack daw. Crooked men with Bells is a great range combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Alleycat Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 The Seamus box set as it stands is very durable,but not very damaging other then Seamus himself. In my opinion,to make it shine I would recommend a Convict Gunslinger for a ranged attack,a box of Crooked Men for more board control,and a box of Punk zombies for Melee damage dealers. This will give you a variety of options for dealing with most threats. I find that pairing one of them with a belle makes for a great strategy.

kanhead Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Can't beat punk zombies supporting the belles. The hanged are also great and having one in 30ss games can really open up playing options. Crooked men are a lot of fun but not that necessary to play Seamus IMO. I'd recommend you steer clear of Jack Daw till you get the basics down, he has a LOT of rules/abilities.

osoi Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Welcome, Seamus is great out of the box but yes does lack some damage output except for the man in the big hat himself. He does play a control game and I have loved adding the Hanged an Jack Daw into the crew, they take a little getting used to but can be absolutely brutal.
