So I finally went to my first Malifaux event in ages. Over 4
months since my last proper ranked event. I haven’t been playing much Malifaux
in the last few months as I have been fairly focussed on Guildball, which has
taken over as my main competitive game. But as this was a tournament at our LGS
Dark Sphere run by the lovely Tom Skitt, I wanted to go along and suprport it. I
had been planning on going solo Pandora as the strat/scheme pool wasn’t bad for
her and I haven’t played her much this year and always enjoy running her out.
But the night prior to the event I realised I wasn’t actually looking forward
to playing. I think bringing out a Master I used to be quite competitive with
but was very rusty with and was realised the idea of losing games with her
because of lack of practice would frustrate me. So I brought this issue into
the Abnormalifaux group chat and our resident Guild expert Francois offered to
lend me a Guild crew as he was playing Yan Lo for the event. I’ve been meaning
to try Nellie for ages and thought trying something new would let me have a fun
day without putting pressure on myself to do well. So I went into the day with
Nellie and my own Lucius stuff just in case (tho I did end up sticking to
Nellie for all 3 games). Brought a few of my favourite mercs along as well
(Burt, performer, sue, McTavish, etc.)
