State of the 'faux
K, so its been a while. I won my first tournament, totally stomped the other guy. That's right, a two player tournament. I didn't actually stomp the guy. He was playing Rasputina, so I was pretty experienced playing against it, and I took Leviticus, as he is my go to versus Arcanists. It was a Halloween themes shared strategy, which was basically multi-treasure hunt. I ended up wiping him off the table. I just knew his crew. In the end, I would have had time to get more pumpkins to my zone, and we were tied when we called it. Great guy to play against, I think I gave him some useful pointers with Raspy. I dropped out of raffle for Miss Demeanor, so he walked with that. We also didn't end up playing for prize money, and I didn't pay to play. Great experience, was worth the drive for me. I wish there would have been more people, Mate set up a great event, and nobody showing really sucks. I did get some eyeballs though.
The week after that was all Feast prep, so sadly, no Malifaux.
This last week, I managed to get in 3 games! All against John, who I haven't played in a while. I used Leviticus all three games. The first game was bad for John, with Leviticus doing what he does.
Game 1 was Arcanists. My first game against Marcus. I ate Myranda for a Waife. It just continued, till only Marcus was left. John was very unhappy, stating that Leviticus could not be beat. With two waifes, it is a very difficult proposition, but not impossible.
Game 2, he played Nicodem. I offered to play Viks, but he wanted another go. He brought Killjoy to kill my face, using a Desperate Merc to bring him out. I use my belles to pull the Merc toward, he thinks I am going to kill it, pops Killjoy, who I eat for a Waife, job done. It went down hill from there.
K, he is done. Then he picks up Collette, and decides he wants another round. Cool, asking for Leviticus, cool. I wanted to try the new canine remains he just gave me. I am a fan. I turned Cassandra into the Waife. Hooded Rider took out the Gunsmith, for Grudge. Taelor and Johan ate my lunch money at 1 wound each. I made some mistakes, including forgetting reactivate on Collette, so I lost Leviticus and both Waifes in one turn. Only left Hooded Rider, who get charged by Johan, but kills him with Noon, which gets slow to die and the rider dies. With a draw for extra turn, John manages to get all 5 dynamites, ending it 6 to 4 him. A good game, and my first lose with dual Waifes. I started with 8 stones, and that was a mistake. I should have brought more models and less stone. Leviticus runs well with a measly two stones, but the out activate mechanic of his crew can't be ignored.
Well, that was my last couple weeks. Several good games of Malifaux. I finally got my other Waife based and I have painted up my canine remains. The canine remains is pissing on a tombstone, and I think it turned out really well. I still have Miss Demeanor staring at me from my bench, I just need to dig into her.
