In the latest book there is referance to the "hunting" organisation. I would love to see this fleshed out as an outcast crew, with an outcast master(mercenary) that could be teamed with the viktorias for brawls. Misaki Experianced, yes I think could make a good henchman(with the special forces moniker) option with the use of ten thunders, ronin, and some named(special forces moniker) ten thunders brothers to add a little variation to her crew.

I colour photocopied all of my cards, stuck the two sides lightly together then laminated them. I then put all the original cards in plastic bags in a nice and safe plastic box. If I lose a copy(this has happened), or it gets damaged somehow(not happened yet) then I just redo that card from the original.

witchling stalkers - jawas friekorps trapper - tusken raider steamborg executioner - general greivous silurids - guan guan(spelling??)(those awful rasta aliens from film one)

By targeting your own models with flame burst from sonia - witchling stalker is great for a target of this with magic resist 2.

no one has mentioned her yet, but I think sonia crid and her witchling stalkers could fit your bill quite nicely. I think of her as more a swiss army knife kind of master, able to do many tasks well. the stalkers are great in many rolls and have great fake speed - ie scout ability, and make terrific road blocks. there are then many varient models you can add in to your list for different scenario/objective pieces.

this really deserves its own thread - but heres the ultimate thing to do with the internet - download and play the following for free..........ah how i remember many an hour passing away on my dragon 32............ http://panzercentral.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=45039

you should add Samuel to the notable 8" models, as he too is a scout

dont call him a monke.....:gurney: ooh too late.

Valiant have rereleased the old clan war models - You could take a look at some of the courtiers or shugenja's(spellcasters), or maybe bayushi kachiko from the scorpion clan - http://www.veltd.net/28mmclanwar.htm you could also check out their 32mm fantasy line - http://www.veltd.net/32mm.htm example, this looks like it could fit - http://www.veltd.net/32mm/vel1032.htm

If you doing team fortress 2, you could theme it more - demoman - Joss fighter - Johan(merc) sniper - hans(merc) engineer - mobile toolkit spy - watcher I guess the masters would count as medics with their ss use, but maybe a guardian could very loosly fit the role.

As they are for my own use, I colour copied both sides of the cards, cut them out and with a glue stick tacked them together, then laminated the copies. I find I then get to keep the cards all nice and safe at home, and can easily replace any lost/damaged ones if required. Takes a bit longer, but worth the effort imo.

ah that'll be why i never noticed then, only skimmed the rules erratas, focused more on cards.

Dont think its been mentioned - no more wp test to fire into melee and following on from that, the change to the ability ruthless.

Well having read what preceeds, I think I have to disagree with nearly all. I use the Viks and Sonia as my primary masters, and find both equally good. Obviously some masters give them a harder time than others, but this is true of any master in the game. I also have Levi, and he can prove difficult to beat, but I would say its a lot harder work to actually achieve a win with him. He requires a very high level of concentration I feel to get him working well I also agree that Ramos feels like a master it could be hard to win with, he just appears very slow, but then I have only played against him, not with him. To be honest, I think most of the masters can win, its more down to what strategys you and your opponant get and how your schemes pan out in conjunction with your crews choices. heh a cop out answer....

something to note from this is hans can see through it, nino and other hunters can only see into it. this is quite a major differance. also put nino on the table, most players will try and squish him like a bug, but put hans on the table, and he has not got a big target on his back.
