Who's a good boy? Nix is!

Had a 50ss game of Malifaux some time ago. Strategy was Public Enemies.

 My list:

Hamelin & The Lost
Nix
Obedient Wretch
Rat King
2x Wokou Raiders
4x Malifaux Rat

Pool: 4

Schemes: Catch and Release, Runic Binding

Opponent had:

Jakob Lynch & Hungering Darkness
Kitty Dumont
Mr. Tannen
Mr. Graves
3x Illuminated

Pool: 6

Schemes: Claim Jump, something

Turn 1

With corner deployment not much happened on the first turn. One Illuminated did come and use it's shockwave ability to brighten up some Malifaux Rats, but they miraculously passed their willpower checks. 

Turn 2

Second turn was a hectic brawl in the middle. Both players were doing their best in trying to kill that one model for bounty tokens. But the Illuminated in the middle defied all attacks. Rat King was under heavy fire from the Illuminated, but managed to not die. Plenty of rats did die, but they're Insignificant for strategies and schemes.

Hungering Darkness made Nix charge Hamelin, and the loyal spectral dog did three points of damage to it's master. Well, maybe it just tried to bite the Plague off from his loved owner's soul. Didn't pay off, though.

Fortunately Rat King as a last activation was able to get within 1" of Kitty Dumont, scoring one point from Catch & Release.

Turn 3 

Third turn was devastating for Ten Thunders. First, a Wokou Raider kills an unactivated Illuminated that was pushed into melee by Kitty. That's all terrifying checks passed, first attack doing five damage with critical damage trigger and last attack either moderate or weak damage, killing the minion.

Another already damaged Illuminated is killed by Hamelin with Bleeding Disease and Pustulent Tumors. 

Mr. Graves charges in to engage Nix, Hamelin and Rat King. Eventually Jakob killed the Rat King and got the bounties to score a strategy point. 

Mr. Graves died in the jaws of Nix and hands of Wokou Raider. 

Scores went 1-2 for Outcasts.

Turn 4 

On fourth turn last remaining Illuminated failed to kill Obedient Wretch who had come to middle of the board with scheming purposes. This particular Illuminated then ate a whole bunch of Outcast action points. Hamelin, Nix, Wokou Raider and all of the Stolen tried to score that kill. 

And, well, they kind of succeeded. Last Stolen to activated flipped a 13 on the duel, and opponent flipped Red Joker. He then cheated the Red Joker to fail, so that the Illuminated died to Stolen's minimum damage. And Stolen is Insignificant for strategies and schemes. Ech. 

Points went 1-4 for Outcasts, as they scored Runic Binding as well as second strategy point. 

We decide not to play the last round. Had Illuminated succeeded in killing the Wretch, Kitty could have scored Claim Jump and there would have still been a game to play. But it's a no when fate says so.
