Malifaux - Order of the Chimera

[Kainthedragoonx]

Alright, so I picked up a bunch of Malifaux at Gencon '09 and finally got around to playing some of the new games.

I am having issues getting the synergies of the Order of the Chimera to work out. The first game I played, I was splattered to the man...without killing a single opposing model.

The second game ended in a draw, but only because the Wife's Gremlin exploded at the same time Marcus died.


Is anyone else playing Marcus and his Order of the Chimera? Maybe Hoarcats and Mole Men will help, but right now the Three headed kitty and the snake are just not cutting it.

Thoughts?

If there is one thing I have learned about Malifaux it is to take my time. The game will last 6 rounds at least, I need to learn to act like it.

I have found that when I slow down and don't go rushing in to things I do much better.

What specifically are you having trouble with?

[Kainthedragoonx]

Swarm. Gremlins, pigs, spiders, undead, whatever...I am normally out manned two-to-one unless I want to commit Marcus himself.

I think I need Hoarcats and Mole Men.

[Kelmor]

Mole men are strong. I have not seen Hoarcats on the table yet so I dont have much to say about them.

Dropping one of the big guys for a couple little guys might just help!

I think an all cat army would be fluffy...get it? HA! yep...I went there!


Seriously, need to get Mole Men. Win!
