Hi guys looking to get into malifaux, from the west midlands uk, I've already purchased the lady j death Marshall box set, just waiting for it to arrive. Any help greatly appreciated thanks

Ha.....I see you take advice well

Lady J is pretty straight forward. She kills things. Judge is also quite the melee monster. The marshals are great gunmen and are pretty resilient with their Hard to Wound and Slow to Die abilities.

Lady J's biggest weakness is her fairly low defense. To compensate for that she has the Riposte trigger so it's not a bad idea that if you draw a high to hang on to it to get it off. Her mobility can also be an issue if you are facing crews that fight from a distance. Make sure you are playing with enough terrain (there should be a lot) so you can use cover as you move up the table.

The marshal's Finish the Job spell is a nice buff for some extra damage and if you can set it up where Lady J can hit a few weaker models under its buff, she could kill them in one shot.

Those are just a couple very basics. It would help if you could give us an idea what your local opponents might be bringing. With that we should also be able to advise you on what to pick up to expand her crew.

Ah, that's the fun part lol, I'm yet to really find local ppl, I like the look of the kaeris box with the gunslingers so I might get that in a few weeks...... Lady j sounds cool thou, but I'm gunna have a good read of the rules and hopefully be able to get a battle. Cheers for the info

Cool. Hopefully one of the UK guys will be along and can tell you where you might find some action - I know that there are plenty of them.
