March 27th ''Malifaux March Madness'' Tournament (game2)

Game 2:

Opponents: Michael and Austin, playing Leveticus (again?! At least it was a different list) and The Dreamer.

Having playtested this scenario against both of our opponents, I had a vague idea of how they would try to handle it and some of their nasty tricks, nonetheless, I lost my entire crew (including Colette this time) by the end of turn 3.

Here's some pics to try and explain the Arcanist's disaster...

Turn 2: After killing some Steampunk Abominations to try and prevent a Desolation Engine from appearing, the poor Steamborg Executioner gets killed by a whooping 12+ Dg by Leveticus (using soulstones, cheating red Joker on damage flip, etc...)

R.I.P Steamborg Executioner (he only had one activation in both games but always killed 2 models before leaving us)

Colette and a Freikorpsman get in the fray as they try to prevent the Dreamer's crew from capturing the treasure...

Also, Colette avenged the loss of Cassandra and the Steamborg by doing to the Desolation engine the same thing she did to Killjoy earlier in the day.

Some activations later, a lot of the Stitched together died, suffering from Von Schill specialist's flamer or their own ''gamble your life''.

Lord Chompy Bits grabs the coveted treasure.

Not too far from the action, Von Schill is about to try and pull another ''Indiana Jones'' on the Dreamer's Crew...

Beginning of the end: Colette is still alive but won't be after her activation (as a furious desolation engine wants some explanations for the turns he passed in a mausoleum instead of being in the open).

Leveticus looks alive...But will die...and will rest in pieces as Ivan and I make sure of it by killing the Hollow Waif and Colette applying the old ''and eye for an eye, a Steamborg for an old man'' saying on Leveticus.

Finally, the game ended 3vp to 1vp for the Leveticus-dreamer team, able to come back from a terrible turn 1 and slaughtering the Arcanists while resisting every attempt of treasure thievery made by Ivan (and he tried a lot, even a Freikorpsman on his ''slow to die'' attempted to remove the relic off Chompy's claws!)

Thanks to Michael, Austin and Ivan for the game :). (and RIP my one-activation-Steamborg)

Here's a picture of all the players:

From left to right: Ivan, Michael, Josh, José, Austin, Edson, Thom and myself (with the strange arm-crossing).

Congrats to Edson and Thom who finished 1st of the Malifaux March Madness with 9vp!!

Josh and José both won the 2 random prizes...

And Ivan and myself won...our names on the wooden spoon of doom! (the one with very Malifaux Tournament last place's names)
