Can't Get the Angle R ight

 Gave a second round of Malifaux demo to a local Angler prospect. 

Crews we had:

Sebastian & Zombie Chihuahua
2x Flesh Construct
Guild Autopsy

Pool: 2

Opponent had:

Aunty Mel & Bruce
3x Skulker Skin

Pool: 4

Scenario was my demo standard: if a model was killed this round, gain 1 point. Scheme pool: Dig Their Graves, Assassinate, Breakthrough, Deliver a Message, Detonate Charges.

This set-up worked quite well. There were two targets for Aunty Mel's White Whale. Experimentals had absolutely horrible defense with Bruce around, so Skulker Skins had no trouble connecting hits, but weren't dealing that much damage per hit, while Flesh Constructs had to rush in and play it risky, certainly dishing out damage where I wanted. This resulted in a steady trading of models for victory points. 

Both of my schemes (Detonate Charges and Deliver a Message) required enemy models alive, so I couldn't just go to town with Sebastian's bone saw. Opponent, on the other hand, just needed my models dead with Assassinate and Dig Their Graves. 

So it was a pretty good demo setting. 

As a honorable mention Aunty Mel ended game with four Tide Markers that she had placed herself... had not one of them been turned into a scheme marker, there would have been five. Movement is way overrated in Malifaux, anyway. 👀
