Wasn't Make Me Proud errata'd to only affect Big Hat models?

I think for me swinecursed stand out over wild boars because of spawning a piglet when they die vs. a scheme marker and the fact you can get irreducible damage on the tusks attack vs. just ignoring armor.

If you're playing Bayou then I think you either go Wizz-Bang or Swampfiend. In addition to killing, both crews have decent scheme running as well. Neither one is a silver bullet though. Wizz-Bang has blast damage (Wong, Lightning Bugs, Bokor etc.) and and irreducible dmg (Swine Cursed, Lightning Bugs) Swampfiend has Stunned which is annoying for melee crews to go up against. Gators are Ruthless and can Execute. Plenty of Obey in Zoraida and Bokors & Will-o-wisps/Adze Lure. McTavish is a decent 14" Sniper. Various ways to sprinkle conditions around.

Need to put it somewhere besides Dropbox. Dropbox couldn't handle the traffic.

So, I have been away from the game for awhile and am now looking to get back into and teach others to get them into the game. The people I am getting into the game are all competitive players from other gaming systems. What would you say about Gremlins in GG18? Limited choices in masters/crew? Favorable schemes/strats?

Brewmaster crews hate ranged attacks and spells. If you don't get in the bubble, you're avoiding the majority of the game plan. Also, every faction has some model that can clear conditions. Take yours when going blind into a tournament or when you don't know your opponent very well. Choose schemes that don't make you clump up. A Brewmaster crew will take models that want to stick close together for synergy purposes and to buff poison, AoE damage punishes that (especially at range).

Which TT starter box would be easiest for a new person and/or to demo with?

So besides, Carlos, Emissary, & Gunsmiths what other models are people taking with Kaeris?

There are a few players who play on the westside of Jacksonville at a game store actually called "FLGS". I play Gremlins and am dabbling in Neverborn, but I live about 35 minutes south in St. Augustine.

I'm with you. Insignificant means he needs to be better at killing things at range than Ophelia or Wong.

The only time Burt is bad is when your opponent is immune to blast damage.

I don't think you can 'troll' with what you have and that's kinda a lame approach to a league anyways, however, you can build a better crew though. Out of the models you have, Francois is a much better Henchman to start with who can do massive dmg. Add Lenny & Bayous from the Somer Box and a Lightning Bug from the Wong box for some healing and to ignore armor (although slop haulers would be better here as LB healing works better with Somer). From there add Ophelia, Rami, and Raphael. Lenny + healing is what turns the gremlin gunline up to punch much higher than their point costs.

Not a big fan of Mancha. The only time I would take him is if I know I'm going up against a condition heavy opponent (such as Arcanists) and then he would get picked up with the Mud Toss upgrade so that he would be useful even if he didn't have a melee target right away. Now that McTavish is out (who can also take Mud Toss) I don't really see a reason to bring him anymore.

Don't forget Gracie + Ooo Glowy Burt gives extreme blast damage and helps keep squishy Burt alive to do his thing. Plus, no such thing as too much cracker jack timing in a Wong crew.
