General Cross Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hi all, recently gotten into Malifaux and am really enjoying the game. After a few demo games with the local henchman I've ended up with the Misaki box set, Yamaziko and three Oiran in my crew. Whilst I have a few beatsticks in they group already (literally for Ototo!) I'm finding the torakage and Oiran don't synergies well with my units. They don't seem to pull any weight in the crew. my next purchases are going to be the archers and mini rulebook. Has anyone got any suggestions of where to go from here with this crew? I'm trying to stick to ten thunders theem still but I'm not afraid to touch outcasts such as Ronin etc. Finally I see in the wave 1 cards there is a Gatling gun wielding samurai dude, any ideas if were getting a model of him soon 'cause he look sweet! Thanks again! GC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadaka Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Many on the board will agree Oiran are not exactly the best of models. Torakage are one of our best. That is for the most part it of current models that are pure 10t on the box. Every thing else is split faction. I would recommend you look at Dark Debts box set to expand from there. You need to keep in mind the 10t are all about infiltrating the other factions so most all of there stuff is 10t and another faction.

Rathnard Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I think Oiran are decent, but they're really more of a support model and I don't think you'd want more than one in your crew. Torakage are less about punching and more about achieving objectives. Their high mobility and defense combined with their ability to just walk out of combat makes them pretty slippery. Thunder Archers are definitely worth adding, but if you're after more punch in melee then look into getting either Mei Feng's or Jakob Lynch's box. Rail Workers, Illuminated and Kang can all be taken in your 10-Thunders Misaki crew, and are all decent in combat even without the additonal synergy from their parent crew.

Sklertic Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I would look at the Mei Feng box. Kang has a great aura and is a good beat stick. Same goes for the cheap rail workers, they can really deliver some damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1ck Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Fuhatsu would be a nice model and he comes out later this month, a decent ranged henchman that helps in the ranged attack while you have Ototototototototo, Misaki, and the Torakage taking care of the melee front.

General Cross Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Ok thanks for the advice guys. I've picked up Mei Feng's crew too as after reading the stat cards it looks like they're pretty beastly! Plus it gives me a second master to play with. Also eagerly looking forward to a Fuhatsu/Samurai model, as Gatling guns look sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
