Couldn't agree more with both of the above

well spotted! thanks for the awesome replies. Im getting me some levi and lazerus i recon. Those abominations sound like really logical counters to the bayou spam. Great tips CrazyIvan!

Alyce, A&D, Doxy.. Sounds pretty standard. Hard to tell though, because the link leads to a Hoffman list.

Great suggestions! The only time I've managed to face off against francois with the nothing beast it was against wong. My opponent won initiative, made francois glowy and then took the nb off with one shot. To add insult to injury, he then took a ronin off in one shot in the same activation. Turn 1... Hatred grows Francois does have wp6 or 7 (for some reason), but I didn't realise he didnt get squeel on wp (I think Som'er still does). That makes this a really good shot. I would swap the nb or bishop for francois any day... Which is probably indicative of his power. I like to charge with the beasty and then focus attack (when he's fast). Really helps to get that severe 7 or at least moderate 5 damage. If he keeps hitting min 2 he's not really worth it imo. Edit: are u sure wp based attacks get around stilts? I thought you could simply discard them for damage prevention (bit like void shield). If he can use those + soulstones for damage prevention (which of course bishop and nb can't) then it's very unlikely he'll go down. Meanwhile retaliation can do 10 wounds quite comfortably if your opponent is packing a high card or two...

Very good stuff guys! Thanks for the great responses. I will be picking up Levi soon so I will give him a crack, running him with A&D. I am a big Tara fan and agree she'a great for shutting down Lenny. Beast bomb is ok, but i don't feel like it's the greatest against good gremlin players because of all their cheap bodies to block and francois. I also find squeel extremely troublesome. Som'er is the mist common master I see and the one I have the most difficulty with. Never played brewy or Ulix. Definitely agree that going ham early and getting stuck in should work. Only problem is that can be tough with a lot of blocking terrain or corner deployment. Also squeel is awful. slop haulers are usually my priority target number one, along with the common maeris and snipers are indeed good for this. Unfortunately I've played double slop haulers a few times lately and it's very tough to stop them standing behind a gremlin wall and healing up everyone as well as themselves. Gotta get me a lazerus! The model sucks though so I'll want to convert one. Only thing that's stopped me so far. Anyone had any experience with Amano? I particularly have massive trouble dealing with Francois. If he has stilts and dirty cheater + stones, he is just broken. Maybe anamo's gobble up could work? Or Levi I guess...

Gremlins are emerging as comfortably the most dominant faction in my meta right now. Contrary to what people may think, I think this largely comes down to the fact that some of our best players main Gremlins. As such, I really need to get thinking about some contingency models that can slip into my outcast crews specifically to deal with Gremlins. They're one of my most played factions and they're the only one I haven't beaten yet! So with that in mind, what do some of you guys use models-wise or tactics-wise to best deal with Gremlins? Amanozako is a model i dont own, but have considered, since dangerous terrain is good against bayou grems & pigs, she's very fast and she can consume the dreaded francois. Any other thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback Badger! Doing it again I would still use pre-made lists, if only because I enjoy making them and they make me really think hard about the scheme pool. However, in future I will be more willing to make modifications and spend some time thinking more carefully about what I should change before each game while my opponent is deciding on their crew. I also need to be willing to completely throw my choices out the window when I'm sharp enough to realise that an unusual combination of factors has presented itself - like the game against Tiny. Most of these things are easier to realise in hindsight though! Lastly, Gremlins are emerging as comfortably the most dominant faction in our Melbourne meta right now. Contrary to what people may think, I think this largely comes down to the fact that some of our best players main Gremlins. As such, I really need to get thinking about some contingency models that can slip into my crew specifically to deal with Gremlins. They're one of my most played factions and they're the only one I haven't beaten yet!

Cheers bro

I'll add A Wyrd Place and Shotfaux to the list. Unsure if further episodes are forthcoming from either of them though. Red Jokers has a lot more light hearted banter if you prefer the less serious side of Malifaux. It's awesome. I'm totally not bias at all!

Thanks mate! To be honest I just wanted to annoy Jeremy into getting his competitive spirit up! Also I wanted someone to fail a challenge. I guess we'll see just how harsh that ended up being next episode...
