So, the Wokou Raider. I really want to make this guy work. Although the game I've used one in, they just haven't cut the mustard. So, after a few games here's what I see are the three main issues with this guy. Just curious as to what you guys think. Yay? Or Nay? My first problem, 8SS. IMO, when you've got minions that cost the same as enforcers, I expect something pretty darn good. Cases in point, Hanged, Jorogumo, Sow ect.. Those minions scare opponents because of what they're capable of and generally have a specific role. After reading the WR's card I must admit, for the price I was like "um, he's good. But I'm not sure 8 SS worth of good." If he/she were 7SS, I'd be more inclined to consider them. So, cost is my first hurdle. Second Problem: So with a Ml 6, 2 and a 2/4/5 damage track I'd assume he'd/she'd be a beater. Especially when you add in the combat finesse ability. That encourages you to throw the WR in. So throw the WR into stuff so they can't cheat flips with attack actions that target the WR's Df. Hey, it's handy and a really nice ability. But, if you're hunting other enforcers, of which a lot have a decent Ml stat to start with, then IMO this guy is potentially out of his league already. "But why don't you use him to hunt scheme runners?" I hear you say. Well, I think there's simply cheaper options that can fulfill that role as well. Ronin spring to mind there. "He can potentially tar pit". Which he has a chance if they target the WR df in Ml. But what about Wp based attacks? Granted, the WR is Wp 6, which is very good. But there's things like Bishop that would wreck the WR straight up. I know Bishop is a high cost enforcer, but the are the type of models you want the WR engaging yeah? I really think they perhaps should've added the in for built in crit strike. Sure, with ml 6 with a , there's a decent chance that a double crit is possible. But, in my mind, you want this guy taking on your opponents heavy beaters. So, he needs to do more than min 2 damage if he/she hits. I know if you flip the you get the crit which is nice, but since a lot of beaters have armour and the like, I'm not sure min 2 damage is enough. Especially when you don't flip/cheat in the ram. You've got a better chance of doing more damage from a run and gun Bandito potentially. And that is a HUGE problem for something so expensive. Third Problem: This kinda ties in with his "beater role". I think there's enough "drop it" in Parker's crew. Sure, the extra push from enemy scheme markers is good, and the WR (0) action does also provide you with extra movement which is also nice, provided there's scheme markers around which, in a Parker crew, is highly likely, but I feel they've potentially mixed up what trigger should've been built in. The built in is not needed on the WR IMO. Between Parker, Bandito's and Dead Outlaws (which granted, the last two minions "drop it" is not built in) there's enough chances to drop those enemy scheme markers for pushes with the WR. I don't want to come across as unappreciative. But overall, I think Wyrd missed the mark with the Wokou Raider. Is he/she a beater? Well, more like a semi-beater IMO. And for 8 SS, I'm most likely not gonna pay that. Especially when I can get a Convict Gunsliger, with Return Fire for the same cost. It's a shame. Cause I really love the artwork for them. HOWEVER, I have used the Wokou Raider in henchman hardcore and he/she's been actually pretty darn good. In that format, the WR shines. Which confuses me even more.. So, after undermining my own argument somewhat, what are your thoughts guys? Cheers, Pip.

Still no luck with him asrain? Hmmm.. I'm just about ready to give my overall thoughts on the Wokou Raider in particular. Anyone else used one?

You're welcome! It gives me a chuckle if nothing else. Hail of Bullets is great for those areas of the table that are a natural bottle neck. Also, of your timing is right, you can shotgun them into the Hail of Bullets (towards the end of the turn) and, provided Parker hasn't activated, then next turn, when the models that are in the HoB terrain activate, they take more damage. So potentially for one shotgun shot, you're looking min 7 damage. Juicy!! Cheers, Pip.

Really god write up Jphealy! I've been really enjoying Parker as well. Love the fluff for him and his mechanics are heaps of fun! One thing I've been doing is dropping Hail of Bullets behind some enemy models then using Mad Dog to shotgun them, then push them back into the hails of bullets for some extra cheeky damage. So even if you do weak with both the shotgun and the Hail of Bullets Hazardous terrain, that's a min of 5 damage for effectively one shot. Add in blast damage and you can tag multiple models with the one shot. Cheers, Pip.

I think when you compare Parker's crew, which seem to be Bandits, then I imagine that from a modelling perspective, you don't have the same degree of freedom in terms of design that say the Neverborn or 10T box has. Personally, I really like the Box. I also think that Mad Dog is my favourite model in the box. I really like the female Bandito's as well but agree that the male Bandito's pose is a bit weird. Doc looks hilarious and Parker looks like an absolute boss! What would've you like to have seen as alternatives to Mad Dog? Also, I'm not seeing what's wrong with his neck... Cheers, Pip.

This. Couldn't agree more. There was no way I was going to play Guild but after seeing Nellie's card, her mechanic looks VERY interesting. There's still more info for all of the crews/masters to be seen but, I think you've hit the nail on the head perfectly dancaster.

Best. Gencon. Ever. Pip.
