@AGP - That's a nice looking collection of nostalgia you have there.
@M_i_J - 45 minutes? Wow, if that's what you can do with an old brush and some random colours... My hat is off to you sir. Very impressive.
Yesterday I took a trip down to Pikey's Secret Base and played a couple of games of Malifaux. My Hoffman crew (Guild) took on Pikey's Lilith crew (Neverborn) and then his Misaki crew (Ten Thunders). In the first game Hoffman's supercharged death-bots stomped a mudhole in Lilith, though Nekima was able to chop up Hoffman in exchange. To avoid meeting a similar fate, Nekima pushed the Guild constructs away, which allowed them to reposition for some schemes. In the second game, Misaki came out swinging, quickly killing my henchman and one of my constructs. However, she was unable to put down the Peacekeeper before it pummelled her into the ground.
In fairness to Pikey, it was his first game with Misaki and it was a fairly straight out of the box crew. Lilith had me sweating at times, a couple more high cards and she would probably have won. As it stands, Hoffman's crew is very tough and packs a fair amount of healing, armour and defense options while hitting very hard when they want to.
