Treasures in the hags territory (Malifaux AAR)

[Anatoli]

My Freikorps were sent out on a new mission, this time to retrieve a lost treasure deep in the hags territory out in the Malifaux wilderness. Searching the area around the house had them bump into the Arcanists, led by Marcus, and a whole bunch of beasts and constructs.

35 Soul stones as usual

Freikorps:

Von Schill
3x Freikorpsmenn
1x Librarian
1x Specialist
2x Trappers

Strategy, "Treasure hunt", retrieve the treasure chest located inside the cabin and haul it back to friendly deployment.

Schemes "Body guard" Von Schill (keep him alive) and "Gather soul stones" (end the game with more SS than the enemy). Both schemes were hidden.


Arcanists

Marcus
3x Ice Gamin
1x Sabretooth Cerberus
3x Silurid

Strategy "Claim jump", move to a specific spot on the table and hold it with at least double amount of models at the end of the game.

Schemes "Hold out" (prevent enemy models in friendly deployment) and Assassinate Von Schill.
Both schemes were hidden.

Another excellent report, thanks.

Ice Gamin seems rather counter-intuitive for Marcus- Was this a case of only having so many models available?

[Anatoli]

Pretty much, he has an Ice Golem and the Rasputina master as well for his Arcanists but really wanted to try out Marcus against the Freikorps. Love the Freikorps armor, I no longer have to fear those blast effects from killed Ice Gamins that always inflict lots of damage on my Resurrectionist crew.

I don't know much about Malifaux but it looks like fun.  Nice game report. The Marcus figure is a mean looking dude. Nice paint job on the freikorps.
