Malifoolery One Lists

Posted by winter on Wednesday, March 30. 2011 in Wargaming

Malifoolery One is coming up this weekend and I need to start thinking about lists.

The format is escalating SS sizes (25, 30, 35) coming from a pool of 50 SS. First Master is free, but subsequent Masters cost 10 SS.

At this stage I pretty much have 3 realistic options and 1 slightly unrealistic one.

Guild

I have a fairly large Guild force which means I have more models to pick from. However the models that I would be interested in taking are still currently unpainted, which means that I couldn't really take what I wanted. I think that my 50 point list would pretty much be:
- Perdita (Free)
- Lady J (10)
- Nino Ortega (7)
- Judge/Executioner (7)
- 2 x Witchling Stalker (8)
- 2 x Death Marshall (8)
- Convict Gunslinger (6)
- Enslaved Nephilim (2)
- Governers Proxy/Scales of Justice (2)

However I'd potentially have Judge, 1 x Witchling Stalker, 2 x Death Marshall, Governers Proxy/Scales of Justice unpainted. Which really kinda sucks. I'll have to try and think of a set that only includes painted models...

I like the flexibility to choose between Perdita and Lady J as they are suited to different strategies. The painted list will no doubt have more Ortegas in it, which is a bummer because the Stalkers and Marshalls are cheap and good. I will however be able to work in an Austringer!

Outcasts

I could also take along my Viktorias crew. The only issue here is that I have far less to choose from... however that may not even be a problem. The list would look like this:
- Viktorias (free)
- Taelor (8)
- Convict Gunslinger (5)
- 2 x Ronin (10)
- Jack Daw (8?9?)
- Hamelin (9)

With many points left over in the 50 points... Hamelin also isn't painted. The main issue here (and a general one for the Viks) is that they need so many Soulstones to function effectively. So in a 25 SS scrap, I'd be looking at the Viks, the Ronin, Gunslinger and Taelor and only a couple of SS. Not sure how effective that would be. Moving up to 30 SS is even more problematic as I don't have anything that will expand nicely to 30 SS. Maybe just an extra 5 SS? at 35 I can bring in Jack Daw.

They are fairly effective however, so I'm not ruling this option out.

Resurrectionist

I could bring out Seamus and his ladies. Main issue here is that I've never played with them before (not even a test game). I also don't have the figures I'd like to round them out (well I have them, they just aren't assembled or painted). So this is unlikely.

Arcanists

I could also go with Ramos and his constructs. Again the main issue here is that I don't have the necessary models. I really need another 3 painted Electrical Creations. I would also like a Coryphee Duet. I love my Ramos paintjob though! He is also easy to scale through the point ranges just by adding spiders...

I'm 80% sure that I will go with the Guild. Now I just have to think of some painted lists...
