arkan Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Hi, I'm putting a list together for bonescon random doubles in February. I'd like some second opinions please. It's basically 25 pts doubles. So here's my list: 25 SS Guild Crew Lucius + 5 Pool Captain Dashel (9) - Arrest Him (0) Witchling Thrall (9) Guild Austringer (6) (exported from CrewFaux) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thstringer Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I assume you are on the board with a teammate. Those games are all about cross synergies. What is your teammate bringing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Doesn't seem worth it to bring Dashel to boost a single model. The thrall and Lucius can work well but you should probably bring one or two minions instead of Dash. In general I think Lucius is pretty crappy at such a low soulstone level because he needs models to support. Someone like Perdita, Sonnia or Justice could take out half the opposing crew in an activation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legislat Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I agree about Dashel being not too important with no more guards. Ditch him (or take friend with McCabe and more guards:)) Lucius on the other hand *could* be good with minion heavy friend (Jacob Lynch will be super good as partner i think). Or he can commanding presence a friendly master (like Rasputina or Mey Feng with no fear of paralyze). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I assumed Random doubles means you can't choose who you partner up with so you should probably build a list to function in isolation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thstringer Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Rules for the doubles matters too. I can imagine a Hoffman/Lucius doubles group that can really make a cyborg Thrall shine, but only if everyone is friendly to one another.

arkan Posted November 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Random doubles mean you are randomly assigned a different teammate at the start of each round. Captain dashel is there specifically to summon guild guards. should he be replaced with more minions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Not that I have played a doubles match but in smaller model pools powerful alpha strikes tend to dominate even more than usual. Consider how much use Dashel will be if the opponent has Viks + LJ or some other obscene damage combo. And if you run into Asami + Ramos or something that one extra guild guard will not compensate, you will need to take their master out turn 1 or you're probably screwed bigtime. A dedicated summoner will likely double their soulstone count on the first turn. Idon't know much about the rules for your tournament so of course my advice should be taken with a graib of salt but I would recommend building a crew that performs regardless of who ou are matched with or what your opponent decides to do. In small games summoners tend to be more common and alpha stikes are the only counter to summoners so those also increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thstringer Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Interesting, I've never played something like that. I'm not sure I would use Lucius in such a tourney either, even though I am a huge Lucius cheerleader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
