heartnet Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hey guys, played my first game today. I'm not sure I had all the rules right and I lost miserably. My List: Seamus Madame Sybelle Rotten Belle x3 His List: Justice Judge Death Marshalls x3 Turn 1: I won the initiative flip and moved Seamus forward with all three actions. I was a bit too far away to do any damage so i ended close enough to shoot the belles forward. He moved his units around the terrain to keep them out of los and towards the objectives. Turn 2 I failed all of my lure spells but managed to do a nice bit of damage with the flintlock against the Judge. He struck back and managed to nearly take out seamus Turn 3: I shot one of my belles with Live for Pain, to bring him back up and we both moved closer to objects Unfotunatly Lady justice was right next to me. She used all her ap to kill seamus even with hard to kill (we both totally missed the bit about hard to wound) Turn 4: mostly defeated I made a last ditch run for the objectives and he continued to slaughter my belles. I gave up at this point in favor of more painting. It was a lot of fun though. I've never played a game like this before and definatly plan to play more games. After reading up on the rules again of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenborne Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Sounds about right. You can't let Seamus get out in front and up near Lady J. I am surprised that you failed all your lure spells, did you count the +4 to cast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Death Marshalls have a 6Wp and Fear Not Death, so a Belle's lure is a 50/50 proposition before cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartnet Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Haha no I totally missed the plus 4 at first I noticed it after I folded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Don't sweat it. Malifaux is complex and it will take time to remember all of the options and triggers your models have, much less standard actions beyond walk, move, attack, and cast. Seamus is squishy. Hard to Wound 2 will help some, but he needs to stay away from Lady Justice, and the Judge unless Seamus is backed up by another model. Use his gun if you're within range and don't need to use all three actions to move. Seamus is a serial killer and should be played as one- the idea is to pick a target, isolate it, and butcher it. Undead Psychosis is great for forcing models close to yours to waste actions on movement. I'll admit I have yet to make this stuff work personally, but I am still new to the guy myself.

heartnet Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm figuring out a lot of what I did wrong. I like the game a lot though and may get in another today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinistercats Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Just did a demo for a new player on Sunday with this setup. The combo that he liked was Luring a target in. Another Belle would undress for the -2 Def and then Seamus would walk up for the Focused .50 cal shot. Lather, rinse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettqpublic Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm figuring out a lot of what I did wrong.

heartnet Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Brettqpublic: Near Troy. Theres only one store near my area that seems to play games like this (Mostly Warmahordes) and thats Guild of blades. I just got done with another game, this time with a third player. Rasputina and her box. I won because the justice player had to take off turn end of turn4. seems like I cant play through turn five. Anyway I took everyone's advice and read up the tactica again and played around with her gamins. I killed all but one. I assumed they dropped corpses because I didn't see anything that said they didn't. So I turned those into belles (let me know if this is wrong) and juggled his golem. The lady j player spent the whole time moving into battle. All in all a lot of fun again. I'm a little confused with the rules but its been a lot of fun.

Fetid Strumpet Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm originally from Troy. Nice to know another gaming store opened up there. When I left the only reasonably distant one was a GW store. The next closest was Garden City, and while the Scene there is great with gas prices being what they are... Welcome to Malifaux.

heartnet Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thanks man. Its a pretty nice store. They don't really carry a lot in the way of wargaming, mostly boardgames and dnd. There was a GW in great lakes crossing, but it closed. so now its just the one that youre prolly thinking of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 The GW at Great lakes is what I was speaking of. Gone huh? Sad Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornelious1424 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Just did a demo for a new player on Sunday with this setup. The combo that he liked was Luring a target in. Another Belle would undress for the -2 Def and then Seamus would walk up for the Focused .50 cal shot. Lather, rinse... This bit is fun, but gets old fast. He does need to isolate his targets, which does take time getting used to, but once learned becomes rewarding to play IMO. Don't forget about his Trigger Excessive Bleeding on his Bag of Tools. It can always be used and will make models Insignificant, which can aid in denying your opponent VP's in most Strategies and Schemes. Oh and welcome to Malifaux!!!

Welcome to Malifaux, it's great to hear you are having fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 They'll only drop scrap counters if a scavenger is in play however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
