maybe from tourneys listed its a US problem then as he doesnt make many appearances in the UK scene from what I have seen mostly because outcasts have masters much better at doing things. would rather face levi than hamelin or jack daw

as said by people, go after his waifs or anchors and he is nowhere near as good. 

spiders are also immune to black blood so ramos summoning those works.

or ironsides plus henchman can be immune to black blood also

havent seen him much in our tourneys tbh. faced him once and if remembered hard cover on top of negative would have actually beaten him

certainly isnt a majorly used master though, see more jack daw, hamelin and viks from the outcasts

well channel is for the charge action so effects both, brewies if declare an action within the aura but if you declare a charge from outside then in theory you wouldnt do it, however it seems you declare a charge and then declare attack actions.

just seems odd, as the action is a charge, if you charge in from outside you should at least get that 1 turn of attacks, then from then on you are likely to be stuck in the aura.

if you can get 6-8 adrenaline your opponent doesnt know Ironsides, her lure doesnt get you adrenaline that quickly, your guys being damaged only does if you want to throw all your cards away
Mei feng can also buff her crew against the right opponents (hard worker upgrade for ressers or armoured people), and protect them better than toni does using vent steam, then travel extremely fast to where she needs to be before laying the smack down on people.

I have used both in tourneys and friendlys and for me mei feng comes out on top every time so far without relying on the fragile oxfordian mages to be immune to paralyse and slow.

I still like ironsides but shes too close to mei feng for me and for me mei feng is better

dont think my levi has ever charged. he has been in melee but not of his own choice but charging with levi, hasnt happened for me yet.

its interesting though that he can channel a charge as thats his action, but if you charge brewie from outside his aura you still have to do drinking contest, thats almost contradictory

in anything other than annoyance value ironsides is lacking really.

mei feng pretty much takes everything she can do and does it better, actually dealing with the crowd if needed or putting out a whole chain of attacks without relying on something that I have rarely ever built up

I mean apart from against new people has anyone ever built adrenaline up? think I had 6 against someone that had never faced her before but other than that I usually get 1, maybe 2. rather than being angry my Ironsides seems to wander through a battle in a fugue state, would be better if she got a certain amount per turn as the battle goes on and she gets angrier

saw a box of it in my LGS today when I was picking up my collette crew

for marcus I would also recommend the rogue necro. whilst not as fast a sabretooth it hits as hard if not harder and also provides some toughness to an otherwise glass cannon crew.

also had:

huw jenkins - ressers

nick pratt - i believe was playing 10 Thunders

yeah you still have to spend the SS, but its never wasted if you have that is what he means as hit or miss mei feng gets a trigger

one thing you dont do against raspy is send in a lone beater to kill her or that beater dies. bring her to you with lilith (how many suits needed? raspy has counterspell) but never send anyone to raspy that you dont want to lose.

goes like this - send nekima (as also mentioned in your post) to raspy, raspy cheats in a tome, takes your hit, ends nekimas activation.

raspy uses armour of december to escape combat, paralises nekima, chain activates wendigo who eats nekima giving raspy fast next turn.

lilith can be really good against her due to LOS blocking shenanigans and speed etc so you can pick on the creature you want to, usually something already activated.

levi wouldnt need flips unless he is buried at the end of the game as he doesnt die or sacrifice himself, he buries.

I assume the waif would need a flip as its sacrificed unless it was your freshly summoned one.

it only effects things like miranda, or rat kings etc for original models as they have to sacrifice to summon due to the rules of the game (fluffwise obviously they would actually turn into said newly summoned things instead)

should be able to get to it. 
start a course on 12 October and has some working weekends, cant confirm until then unfortunately but will do my best to make sure I have that weekend off.

the condition would be caused by an enemy models terrifying ability as it cause you to take a horror duel, the result of failing that is paralysed so it is caused by terrifying and therefore blood ward stops it.

think the 3 of us from Titan are paying on the day, normally advance pay but wasnt sure until last minute could definitely go

well Ross is bringing the crossroads 7 so guess so, and Shifting Loyalties is out anyway

an aura from a ht2 model can effect someone on top of a ht50 building as long as the person on the building can see the person on the ground, so yes someone on a ht 3 building will be effected by auras off a ht 2 model they can see

height has no effect on being effected by auras (unless providing cover etc as people already stated)

if you can get a rogue necro those actually give the marcus crew some staying power and come in at the same as a dawn serpent iirc as well as being a heavy hitter.

immunity to horror by immunity says it does not perform the duel, not that it ignores it.

aura ancestral says she ignores the duel, so shes not immune, she just chooses to ignore it

ignoring a duel isnt immunity to it, its just not having to take it as you ignore the duel.

if she walks and ends in melee with the hanged she has to take horror, if she shoots she doesnt IMO as shes not immune to the duel, just ignores it

well thats something I never even thought of.

but then usually doing too many triggers from my seismic claws to put out more than one vent steam

its actually possible to win with no models on the table if you racked up enough points early enough
