Cunning Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 If you get the Collodi box then Zoraida and a Voodoo doll, maybe a primordial Magic that should get you off to a good start. Not got my book on me to check ss cost of all that but should be a decent sized crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 That would give you a 30SS Crew, with the full cache of 8 for Zoraida, with no stones wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Adding 2 stitched and dropping one wicked doll would be my next step if you wanted to keep the doll theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hateful Darkblack Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Zoraida/Collodi is a lot of fun to play! Collodi runs around being fast and capturing objectives, and Zoraida kind of hangs out making Voodoo Dolls of enemies, and if she doesn't know what else to do, she makes a Wicked Doll that can teleport across the field to wherever Collodi is. You always want 4 Marionettes for Collodi. Three or so Wicked Dolls add some additional combat ability, healing, and fast objective grabbers. Stitched Together are awesome and go well with anything, though they are much slower than Collodi. Adding Avatar Zoraida is great, too. And Arcane Effigy, once it's out. (I made an adorable sculpt eyeball dude proxy myself). Total things I'd suggest getting: Collodi Box Set (Collodi, 4 Marionettes, 3 Wicked Dolls) Stitched Together (2 models in a blister pack) Zoraida (individual) Voodoo Doll (individual) Avatar Zoraida (individual small box) Arcane Effigy (not out yet, so I suggest doing a Puppet Wars proxy or something) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannonFodder Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I started with the following The minimum Collodi Box Extra blister of Wicked Dolls Stitched together Zoraida Blister Voodoo Doll Next I would take Doppleganger, so you can get the Zoraida 10 WP & gamble your life combo. Also the initiative flip bonus really helps with Collodi. after that you flavour with what you like from any faction using Zoraida hiring ability.

benw Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Maybe consider getting both Collodi's and Z's boxed sets. Not necessarily because all the models will make an uber-deathstar crew but look to the future. I have already made the mistake of buying a model individually to then later realised that I want the whole boxed set that it comes as part of. Never again! Now if I start any master, I grab their boxed set and then add some individuals to it that come separate from the boxed sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point of people suggesting not to buy Zorida's Box Set is that it comes with the an un-obeyable tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helm Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I think the point of people suggesting not to buy Zorida's Box Set is that it comes with the an un-obeyable tank. Not to mention that the Silurids would be fairly redundant with Collodi's boxed set already in. Collodi can take care of objectives stupid-fast and sit on Claim markers with a bunch of significant models, and when you combine him with Zoraida you can move your Wicked Dolls literally across the entire board as a 0-action every turn. More fast models won't help all that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjm1174 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 its odd peopleshould mention the voodoo doll cos it was one of the first models i got for malifaux cos i loved him hes so quirky and hes now in my cabinet so ill look into getting collodi box and zoraida to get me a good staret then take it from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 +1. Collodi pretty much makes the Silirids obsolete for anyone playing NB (Marcus still gives them love I've heard) that cares only about how well a model functions. 3 Silirids cost 15 SS, for 1 SS more you can have Collodi and 4 Marionettes. By almost all objective standards that I personally can think of Collodi and his crew of dolls are superior in every way to Silirids. I also agree Bad Juju is a massively sub-par choice. Bad Juju has no good Juju. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Shaper Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I've been toying with the idea of 3 Stitched, 4 Marionettes and aZoraida with her summoning Wicked Dolls most turns as I haven't found much to do with Zoraida when I've had her on the board.

Shank Seamus! Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I would recommend buying both boxes, its what I did and its leaves you with plenty of choice. Iv just finished a campaign with this crew (won it) and towards the end of it when people have what your crew can do, down. I found in these situations that people would gear themselves to fight constructs.. so i threw in silurids and bad juju to mess with their heads.. I'm now looking at doing a zoraida swamp list.. mostly for theme, but then, no one ever believes that you really play big z and c for theme.. least not when you've battered them with a million paired dol attacks.. Most importantly, I hope you enjoy the crew as much as I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good list, but you will get a whole lot of hate for that list against most other masters, particularly if playing the slaughter strategy. If you want to improve it slightly, at least in terms of an all comers list, take at least 1 insidious madness. This will allow you to strip immune to influence from models like the peace keeper and riders for a turn, hexing it off with Zoraida if you want, and then be able to target them with obeys and the stitched togethers "gamble your life". Did this to a peacekeeper vs Hoffman- it was poisoned, battered Hoffman and a guardian, and then got smashed by a hodgepodge effigy, another minion I highy recommend. I usually Run: a:Zoraida Collodi 3 Marionettes x2 Effigys Primordial Magic Stitched Together Insidious Madness Offers flexibility, speed and ability to tackle a variety of crews against a variety of schemes.

SardonicArtery Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Collodi box + Zoraida + voodoo doll is how I (just) started. Bam, You've got a 25 SS list. Start there and grow out. Zip Collodi around with the Marionettes (have Collodi make them fast then have them drag him along) and flurry, flurry, flurry! Send the Wicked Dolls after an objective. Have Zoraida poop out a voodoo doll and start obeying enemy models. After that, when a Wicked Doll dies, have her summon one, then have it activate, teleport to where she Ravened, then immediately Malice for damage on an enemy. Good luck.

Gollum528 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I would highly recommend getting a puppet wars box on top of the collodi box set if you play any other crews. They are legal models for vodoo dolls, wicked dolls, whatever model they represent, and marionettes in a pinch. Not to mention puppet wars is a ridiculously fun game in it's own right.

It is just harsh as they go so well together:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benw Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Anyone that says do not buy both boxed sets is obviously forgetting the lure of Malifaux. Those of us brave enough to raise our hands at MA (Malifaux-holics Anonymous) know that in the end the lure of Malifaux will leave you wanting all the models in your faction and possibly several factions. Think long term - support your addiction in the long run - make every dollar count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt.Caveman Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I've come to find that of the few things I excel at, feeding my addictions comes the most naturally. Anyways, I will be running Collodi this weekend and I am partial to the stitched lists mentioned earlier in the thread. The doppleganger combo sounds amazing with it! Tho, thats one more buy for me, as I've been focused on Lilith theme lists, so no 'ganger. I'm always a sucker for themes, so this crew will be right up my alley. Wish me luck and keep the ideas rolling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oshova Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 As I've been either a student or unemployed for my time play Malifaux, I've had to look at the most cost effective models to take with a master. This has meant that I don't have many cross-overs, and so I actually use each of my models a good amount. But has also left my choice a bit thin when it comes to playing the same people over and over. So if you're all about saving money, then look closely at what each model does and have a max of 2 types of model to pick for each slot (objective grabber, heavy hitter, tank etc.) But if you want as much variation as possible to mess with your opponents heads, then have as many options as possible for each slot. They won't know what is coming at them, and they will find it harder to adjust, and to learn how to fight against your models. Obviously the first choice also allows you to make a more themed/fun crew, whereas the second choice is allowing you to win more games (and obviously still have loads of fun, as this game rocks) Hope this helps.
