Louie Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 So just out of curiousity and inspiration, what list would you take into this setup: Flank deployment Headhunter Claim jump FFM Accusation Covert Breakthrough Tail 'em Mostly interested in any non-McMourning/Nellie input! Would probaby go for a McCabe or Hoffie list myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Lucius or McCabe. Lucius can create a pile of overlapping engagements but still pick up heads for his own crew because of his (0). He can stay a little bit back and can easily bounce away to avoid Tail 'em and score breakthrough and claim jump easily. McCabe is just his own sweet self, no explanation needed.

Louie Posted November 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Ahh right, forgot about Lucius.. haven't played him since the buff.. maybe he shall get some playtime, depends on the standings, this match is round 5 so I might go with a more familiar master should I be contending for the 1st Btw Ludvig, coming up to nationals in 2 weeks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thstringer Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 I love Lucius in headhunter. Lucius is also good to deal with ffm, and can to tail em and covert breakthrough pretty well. If i was going power id go I'd do Lucius with deep pockets and surprisingly loyal, 2 thralls, 2 monster hunters, doppelganger, scribe and performer or investigator If I was going casual I'd go Lucius with deep pockets, 5 guild guard, Dade, 2 thralls, scribe. I'd bunch the 5 guild guard around Dade and the scribe and have a def 7 armor 1 healing gunline of inaccuracy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, sorry. After ITC I felt really out of touch with the competitive side since I played so crappy and I haven't kept up well with wave 4 or 5 so I'm hosting my own thing this weekend and taking it easy on competing. I'll hopefully find a new spark next year nd join a few events. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludvig Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 @4thstringer Those guardsmen would become a cedible threat with Dashel in their midst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thstringer Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Their job isn't to kill, just as a tarpit. So when others attack them they take damage, the guard all heal, and she can do significant harm with her attacks as well. It's also good to have her attacks on wp for a number of reasons. That being said I don't hate the idea of daschel. I'll have to try it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie Posted November 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 I've been wanting to cram Daschel into any list ever since he got his upgrade, maybe I will get a chance now! Although I only have 4 Guild guards (2nd hand bought package deal, never bought an extra box okeee!) so I got to buy 2 more boxes of guards to run this!

I'm now imagining a lucius list with 2 guard phalaxes (phalanxi?) One supported by daschel and one by dade. 4 gg each. No points left for scribe though.

For the latin loan word it's not phalangi and I wouldn't care to guess which one of these it is so have here's table: Case Singular Plural nominative phalanx phalangēs genitive phalangis phalangum dative phalangī phalangibus accusative phalangem phalangēs ablative phalange phalangibus vocative phalanx phalangēs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I understood this correctly. Assuming I did, that list doesn't have 3 bad matchups out of 56. It has 56 bad matchups out of 56. I just found those 3 hilarious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plural of phalanx is phalanxes or phalanges. For military formations it's usually the first. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plural of phalanx is phalanxes or phalanges. For military formations it's usually the first. Using your own grammar for loan words is a pretty well defined rule in english and swedish at least. Not sure if there is some language where you actually keep the grammar of the old language but it seems unwieldy. I assumed 4thstringer has the english skills to know it's there isn't a greek suffix in the english word but wanted to brush up on ancient latin/greek. I believe phalanges is plural for the finger bones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatlatinspeakingguy Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 In Greek nominative plural is also phalanges. You're welcome. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
