Stonedog-7 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well, as the title covers i'm a new player to malifaux (completely new, one test game in about to order a crew) and i'm seriously considering Zoraida or Collodi as my first master and figured i'd ask some questions First off, which is the easier to use/learn? Second, with a starting Marcus player locally i'm not particularly interested in running Silurids with Zoraida and therefore would be looking for other options, is there a relatively straightforward build for 25ss that can be used instead of the box set? (and i'll admit this is also why i started looking at Collodi) Third and finally, how reasonable is Collodi's box set for a new player? I know with so few options available to him currently there's nothing particularly missing but other than a pack of Stitched will i find myself needing anything else quite quickly? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koali Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I would rum Zoraida with: This one could be good.. and is good to expand from that on... For example with some Terrortots or Marionets... Neverborn Crew - 25 - Scrap Zoraida, the Hag -- 6 Cache Convict Gunslinger [6ss] Doppelganger [8ss] Stitched Together [5ss] Stitched Together [5ss] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonedog-7 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Nice, i really like all the models in that list actually... the stitched are one of the Neverborn models that particularly caught my eye, the gunslinger and doppelganger just look great... ok that said i haven't found many Wyrd minis i don't like the look of but with someone like Zoraida it's tricky to know where to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allidor Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'd definitely recommend Zoraida. Here are some good lists to get started with: 25ss Zoraida Mature Nephilim 10 Convict Gunslinger 6 Stitched Together 5 Insidious Madness 4 or Zoraida Coppelius 9 Convict Gunslinger 6 Mature Nephilim 10 or Zoraida 2 Stitched Together 10 Coppelius 9 Young Nephilim 6 You get the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonedog-7 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Allidor, cheers for the extra lists, i'd rather steer clear of Nephilim for now as we not only have a marcus player but we have a Lilith player and i'd rather not have too many models that are appearing in their crews too That said that final list that includes Coppellius i really like the look of, what do people reckon of: Zoraida Coppellius 2 Stitched Convict Gunslinger Edited June 23, 2011 by Stonedog-7 spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMills Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 If you want to to have both yes its an expense for 25ss but how about 25ss Zoraida, the Hag -- 6 Cache Collodi Marionette Marionette Marionette Marionette Stitched Together Wicked Doll and at 35ss Zoraida, the Hag -- 6 Cache Collodi Primordial Magic Marionette Marionette Marionette Marionette Stitched Together Stitched Together Wicked Doll Wicked Doll Remember if needs be Mrs Z can summon Wicked Dolls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonedog-7 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'm only going to be running one or the other at first while we're all learning locally, but at 35ss i definitely want to run both or at least have the option to That said so far it's all been about Zoraida... how good is Collodi straight from the box to learn with?

Koschai Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 and at 35ss Zoraida, the Hag -- 6 Cache Collodi Primordial Magic Marionette Marionette Marionette Marionette Stitched Together Stitched Together Wicked Doll Wicked Doll I second this list!

Does it actually work at all? >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMills Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I have ran the 35ss list against sheamus on a shared claim jump worked really well but instead of the primordial had another WD and only a 5ss Cache. I was very impressed with it till i emptied my hand and lost a few gamble your life but thats a learning curve. Hopefully running the new list this Sunday so will let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonedog-7 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 OK, so i've done some more research (Rathnard's tactica on Aethervox is awesome) on Zoraida and with the possible exception of the mini i'm absolutely sold, and i don't really mind the mini all that much That said because of the other local players (Marcus with Silurids/Waldegeist & Lilith with Neph) i'm still going to go with other options so i think it's either going to be the above - Gunslinger, Stitched & Copellius or the LaCroix box which i hadn't really considered before but i've had my eyes opened on thanks to Rathnard, my only question now would be is while i'm gathering minis is a pure LaCroix build with Zoraida doable and if so even remotely effective or would it be better to add a couple of LaCroix alongside some of the other Neverborn options And thanks for all the advice, this is a great community Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamwyrd Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 A pure lacroix list is good, but with zoridia can be even better. It was run at my lgs before and its pretty good, considering its like a little Ortega family mixed with another master. Its a very good option. I'm more into collodi though, just the fluff behind him makes me shiver. And he isn't bad either. And his leraning curve is that huge either, neither is zoridias but I feel collodi would be easier to learn first. But whatever you choose have fun and welcome to the forums.

Stonedog-7 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Well it's good to know it can work True Collodi is very nice background wise from what i know, and very handy to know that maybe he's a little easier than Ophelia to get to grips with... I'm just not sure yet, I'm suffering massively from wanting to run just about everything at the moment so until i sit down and actually force myself to buy the minis i'm very much up in the air between pure Zoraida with an alternate setup or one of the 2 mentioned Henchmen and then adding Zoraida to it to give me more options... particularly as the other options will probably be bought over the next couple of months And thanks for the welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
