I know that this doesnt suit Malifaux so much, but i like to do thematic lists - The kin with Ophelia, merris an sammy. then add slop haulers for flavor. If you haven't built the Gremlin runt that is trying to escape the bayou gator, then you haven't seen little yet. It's like a whole model made of Yan Lo's beards and welcome to the best faction!

Merris would be to counter the Piggapult and Taxidermist bubble from being attacked with her blast effect protection. and also to drop scheme markers.

Masterful round up! I would so add a catapult to the list. so, Sommer Lenny pigapult 3 Bayous Skeeters Merris Gremlin Taxidermist and Slop hauler Gremlin taxidermist + Lenny + pigapult combo. Lenny whacks piglet at catapult, kills the piggy and dropping corpse counter which the taxidermist would bring up as stuffed piglet, then sacrifice it to bacon load (and heal the piggapult as well) aftera couple of rounds of porksplosion, you can start throwin bayous as well, to start nailing those scheme markers.

She seems to be the opposite of Support, since she seems to prefer to run independent from the rest of her crew (insert bushwhackers lack of synergy shennanigans). Her buffs tend to be personal or iffy (as in, the crew has to act close by to a character that tends to go deep into enemy territory on her own)

This plan is so cunning that you can stick a tail to it and call it a weasel!

I agree with Math here. The sour taste in the mouth comes from the lack of usefulness from her bushwhackers. Or better said, it is not that they are useless, but if they were just Bayou Gremlins they would be better for it - cheaper and with Bayou two card. Their shooting isnt premium either, so they have a really bad time selling themselves to a crew. So far i havent used them a single time as i dont see them working not even on paper, i'm sorry. But the absolute no no for me is that a model which competes with the Master of the crew for the card usage is poor choice for the crew. To make the best out of them, you have to use the cards in your hand, and this means your Master gets hampered. Or, if the Master goes first (though with Mah this is not a desireable option) it means that by the time you get to the bushwhackers you probably dont have any good card in your hand anymore, so again, they come up short.

Using Bigger hat forces you and your opponent to discard your hand. Make sure you go first, though. Then, kill a couple of the extra Gremlins you summoned on the turn before to drawn cards with Survival of the fittest and dont worry too much about the rest as yer boyz have bayou two card! God loves Gremlins!

Maybe they are meant to be "the big cousins" from the family? I mean, Lenny has to have a family too...

They were first sold to me for their sense of humour and sexy gremlin gurls. This was even before I knew about playing Malifaux. They have bacon, booze and babes. Everything held together in a grotesque kind of cute. Then, when I started going through the books and the cards, I felt really lucky for having picked the best faction out of the hat. I also play Leveticus, more out of curiosity than of anything else. Gremlins are my first and foremost love from Malifaux.

It is important, but not the only way. to a smaller extent, Lenny, who already comes in Sommer's box, can also perform Gremlin throwing shennanigans.

Math is right, but those ARE roosters the size of sheep, so i think they are quite Wyrd-ee in themselves love the piglets, I understand how come Lenny wants to love them and pet them

you are right, he can tag along, i forgot. Ok, but in this case Ulix is the only gremlin in your list, right? I was thinking Francois, or a Burt Jebson, Trixie, etc to have the saddle on Gracie

I dont worry about healing Gracie that much as I make her go after cheap minions so she can eat them and full heal. and why would you bring Gracie without the Saddle? Ulix goes down like nobody's business unless you can protect him or run him out of the way.

Get the box, as Mah is a good Master to use. she gets her hands dirty on turn one, but a little fine tuning may be required so that she doesnt get singled out.

Leny is very versatile, but i would throw in with Trixie here, too. Lenny is a 2nd beatstick, and you may still do a lot, but it leaves me with the sense of too many eggs in one basket. to take full advantage of him he has to tag along too close to the others. This means vulnerability to blasts and popping out a Killjoy in the midst of this ensemble would be the stuff of comedy.
