I won at a small tourney yesterday using Titania all day.

base crew is

Titania - taproot, the forest claims all, wings of darkness

aeslin - malifaux provides

2 rougaru and the 3 autumn knights

the sheer amount of scheme markers, plus healing from titania triggers etc made the crew really durable and easy to score most schemes.

also the combo of the tooth and 2 rougarou is pretty horrendous (can get 11 attacks all told on the tooths activation from the 3 models) taking out killjoy in turn 1

I will be replacing aeslin with the emmisary though as it can help all the minions and aeslin generally didnt do huge amounts throughout.

Within 8" you lure them close for pounce. Then you hit with the (1) attack pushing it a millimeter for another pounce. Hit again and push a millimeter for another pounce. Haven't doublechecked the card but if the push on the normal attack is "up to X" that should be totally legit.

my bad, didnt have my books/cards when replying so didnt realise she pushed away with her attack. something I will have to do with my 2 rougarou and the tooth now then  

I agree but with the 8" range its likely they will be base to base after even just the lure so just one pounce, not 3 like the OP seems to suggest at one point.

Gorar has to be within 6" of the centre, I dont see anything that fragile surviving there for any length of time.

Couple of things reading through all this - 

mention of tooth and rougarou combining for multiple attacks but this only works if the model moves and ends that move within melee range. so surely should only get 1 pounce as after the first push you are probably in base contact with her.

using the gorar - as a titania player myself and seeing some in action I have yet to use/see the gorar as its really crap and dies so easily its daft, all for the chance of maybe getting a model back.

shen long and snipers etc should do really well, you also have good access to decent healing that goes off quickly, as well as pushes and easy access fast. as mentioned by others consider kang as there are lots of undead/constructs out there and even if your opponent doesnt bring undead he still has a ml7 whomping shovel.

also consider mei feng (my favourite arcanist master also does well in TT). vent steam basically screws over all the lures, and alot of the titania crews attacks.

all is not lost and TT can put out the pain (although I do like 2 snipers with shen long - push them and gain fast on both)

agreed, viks use the child, brings healing and a free casting of sisters in fury allowing the viks to concentrate on killing. you only need fast once usually anyway before out of range of the child and thats a quick oathkeeper on blood to go kill things

whilst smell weakness is good, it does mean putting the acolyte within 6" of the target, which can often result in a dead acolyte as they dont stand up well to being attacked.

I like the poltergeist as well. really effective with pandora and people end up concentrating on hitting that rather than something else. I always forget that its a woe and I could have saved it in my last tourney with pandora.

combine with insidious madness, pandy and sorrows (maybe throw in widow weaver) and pretty much everyone will struggle with willpower based tests

I like them in my themed fae list. also they can make use of fairy squeel if that is on somebody

didnt know newark had a gaming store. busy that day unfortunately

Bringing the infamous nick Pratt along too.

Am guessing he will go for pay on the day 

not getting hang of this bag'o'tools thing. may have messed up faction etc. will re-register on day if needed (steve wilson for ranking purposes, and probably neverborn)

What's parkinglike around there anyway?

Paid

I like her, shes a big distraction for the enemy as you can just throw her in and let the rest of your crew do their thing whilst the enemy worries about a leader in their midst

I did do a gunline list once led by shenlong and sensei yu

had fuhatsu, a samurai and 2 katanakas.

fast fuhatsu, pushed/fast samurai or katanakas is pretty awesome, with some free focus too

best thing was people thinking its a gunline (like guild) so just engage it, but these guys are all as good if not better in melee

going to try to get to this but depends when they can get my bike in for servicing.

I have ran Mei Feng fixed crew at multiple tourneys including nationals. She has alot going for her and can deal with lots of scenarios. probably my favourite Arcanist master

payment sent - steve wilson

I have ran her as charge denial against viks, things like A&D, Alyce and Hans were in there. 

it was only because of bad cards or her attacking vik of ashes that she died and blood did nothing all game.

it is fun to do and with her move away action now being a 0 it  makes her really slippery to catch

depends what you want. if you are used to activating your master late then sure, but yes she wants to go early, at least on turn 1. I like having blinding flame, target my 2 gunsmiths for 3" push then fly kaeris forwards. the gunsmiths throw in low rams for fast and gain burning then can fly upto 15" and drop a marker, good for early scheme shenanigans.

gunsmiths targeting things kaeris has set on fire can also be better than december acolytes if the target is in cover. and remember that ++ is to all duels with targets on fire, so this is horror, defensive etc etc so really useful.

I currently run joss with her but after seeing carlos in action I may have found a replacement.

current crew that does me well most of the time:

Kaeris - grab and drop, blinding flame

Joss - imbued energies, bleeding edge tech (sometimes dropped for kaeris to get something else)

Johan - imbued energies

Willie

2x gunsmiths

2x firegamin

alot of this crew is as good ranged as it is in melee so can threaten quite far away or take the fight to the enemy. also has 4 hard to kill models and explodey fire gamin 

My list of late is:

Levi - Desolate Soul, Tally Sheet (2SS pool)

2x Waifs

Alyce - Desolate Soul, From the Aether

Ashes and Dust

Vanessa

Johan - oathkeeper

Hodgepodge Effigy

This gives me 4 anchors, some card manipulation, ability to gain soulstones etc. Also occasionally swap Vanessa out for Sue or Hans and have swapped A&D (plus johans oathkeeper) out for an abomination and one of our nice 10pt models (taelor, lazarus, bishop, hannah, emmisary)

Since his cuddle Levi has been less killy for me and often runs schemes outside of his one or 2 focussed shots as he can really get about and do what he needs to.

Fun kill for me was taking down Asami(?) with a hollow waif (RJ damage on double neg) and the hodgepodge effigys big knife.

As one person suggested replace an abomination with hodegpodge effigy. Much tougher and more useful, also means Levi can happily use stones to get the trigger when he knows hes killing something to get his abomination as he will get it back. Add in Tally Sheet to gain a card too and you gain abominations for no real resource outlay.

Mei Feng is my favourite master, arcanist or otherwise

usual for me is:

Mei - price of progress, seismic claws, vapourmancy

Joss - bleeding edge tech, imbued energies

Kang - hard worker, imbued energies

2 Rail workers, Arcane Effigy, Willie, Emberling

Current plan is 3 games at 50ss fixed faction.
