I like these to. Simple but clever.

And although obvious it's still a good one. Molly casts [1]Imbue Vigor on a target you want in your lines. Belles then [1]Lure them to you in quick fashion. Always handy for Sybelles [2]Flurry. [edit] And the good thing about [1]Imbue Vigor is that it triggers automatically as long as you flip a 7+. No resists or duels needed.

[1]Hidden Sniper worth it? Well in terms of resources you'll do better with [1]Issue Command as it's a easier bet to get off although you'll cycle through more cards to get some damage off. The only real reason I see using it is to get a flanking or distant target that's out of range of other minions range strikes. Although as a rule I'm sure Lucius is going to be taking Austringers anyway.

Looking good again. Enjoy your games!

Nice alpha strike there with Levi's [0]Desolation. And with Levi's dual suit focus you'll increase the chance of getting a highish feathers or tomes in your opening hand so he can get the spell off. Oh and the frequent draw mechanic that Leveticus uses can only be a good thing for Molly's Pitiful. More cards in your hand > the chance of being able to cheat and block attacks from hitting her. Also if your running Levi and Molly maybe Jack Daw might be a cool option? At least [0]Death Lessons reduces the chance of Jack turning on you?

Nice looking stuff there. Are you intending on adding in some random free floating terrain in there to help block LOS and movement? Ala crates, barricades etc?

If they're attacking Molly I'm sure they'll cheat as well to make sure their action sticks no? If so your draining their hand as you'll usually have Seamus's [0]Trail of Fear up eh? And overall with undead lowbies dying around you at least Seamus gets a few more cards via Necrotic Ministrations. And if you need to heal Molly you've got soulstones/Slow to Die and Seamus's [1]Live for Pin via [0]Whisper Secrets. And onto something completely different and not fluffy Seamus and Molly might like an Onryo in there? Good vs. Teddy but maybe a meta list you bring to an event rather than a usual choice for a pick up game. Otherwise you could go crazy and add in a Shikome in there to? Molly's [1]Imbue Vigor works well with [1]Stalk Prey. Hmm pick a nasty melee based target for Single Minded, activate the Shikome after Molly and you could be 16" up the table before you've even activated the Shikome on the second turn. Yep, crazy antics but at least you're on the way to building a Kirai crew as well.

Just throwing ideas out there but Seamus, Molly and Jack Daw could be rather handy. Throw Jack Daw up the table with Seamus and Molly following up behind. Get Jack to cast [0]Severed Ties and create a great debuff bubble. [1]Terrible Secret and [1]Undead Psychosis are going to be pretty handy when they can't cheat. Also [0]Doomed for -1 on resists and defending is just gravy. That said it's a fair whack of Soulstones to bring them both together so scrimp where you can by taking lowbies. May not be that optimised but it looks fun.

I guess just different approaches to skinning a cat eh? For my money I'd like a few more numbers on the table to play the activation game. Then again if your having fun, who cares?

Also another aspect to think about is Molly casting Seamus's spells as well. With her casting away this can leave Seamus to spend his actions shooting things or casting as well. I know there's always the totems to do this but Molly has a decent Ca stat and she has feathers plugged in already. [1]Undead Psychosis works great on anything and handy for scenario play to. [edit] And when coupled with well placed Shafted markers you can deny a large part of the table to things that want to be in melee.

If your using the Convict Gunslinger and Molly to spam [1]Suppressing Fire then why not try a ranged crew? What about swapping in 2 Crooked Men instead of Bete Noire? With them dropping cards to stop Paralysed I'm sure you'll get better use out of Shafted. Just an idea and you did mention you were facing more ranged crews.

With no games under my belt I'd use her as your sole high cost model in your crew and fill the rest out with cheap undead. Ala Belles, Crooked men and Punk Zombies. [0]Impossible Knowledge looks great for chipping away when you've got a lot of other shambling dead taking the wounds for you. [1]Terrible Secret looks handy when you run with Seamus and his -2Wp debuff. Double -ve flips aren't too bad for the rest of the game. And with a decent range you'll get better use out of it if you can pop it off early. [0]Whispered Secret looks like a good way of getting a Belle's [1]Distract off as Molly has a better Ca than the girls. Also [1]Cave in and [1]Shafted aren't too bad either. And mix that in with [1]The Shocking Truth to begin with and hope for slow or at best a Paralysed and you'll trigger a shafted marker before you know it. That said when more Horror units come out I'm sure she'll only get better and better.

I'd throw in a Crooked Man or 2 and a Hanged. Drop a Belle to pay for it. You can Ress one later.

Can I ask how come? I'm curious as I play Seamus and I'm thinking about picking up Levi as he looks like he'll use a lot of the same models.

Well getting Bury to trigger looks a lot easier with Leveticus's [1]Blessings of Desolation. Otherwise not too much in the way of great match ups to be had there. That said they are cheap minions with some decent abilities for their points.

Don't say that as that means I'll wait longer and longer for Molly. [well fingers crossed]. She makes a great minion for Seamus in higher SS games. C'mon Wyrd!

Ah you see I don't play Arcanists. Hmm Gunsmith, Large Steampunk Arachnid and a Soulstone Miner perhaps? What would they double up on in that box set?

As the only full box set left after this leak I'd say he'll be April. I still want Molly more though. And when the Horrors start coming out with the next book, oh boy!

I'm guessing Hoffman box set by April. Fingers crossed they release Molly [single mini splash release] at the same time.

Also if anything big and nasty is coming at your hit it with [1]Undead Psychosis. Sure you'll not be putting it away but then again neither will he vs. you.

Cut and paste from another forum and what I'd do after reading this thread. OK a 30SS list I'd take with him would be. Lucius Drill Sergeant Austringer Austringer Guild Guard Captain Guild Gurad Guild Guard Guild Guard 2SS in the pool Cordon with the Guards to help slow the enemy as they flank the crew as you walk up. Menace from the Captain [+3Ca and increase the spells range to 10"] further helps slow them down as he stares you down. The Austringers bomb the enemy as you tar pit them. Also [0]Deliver Orders allows you to do this. Activate Drill Sergeant first and pop [2] Shooting Range. Then activate #1 Austringer. Bomb twice with a +ve flip with Raptor Strikes. After that pop [0]Deliver Orders and activate #2 Austringer. Bomb twice again and then [0]Deliver Orders on Lucius. Activate Lucius and pop [0]Active Training. Cast [1]Issue Command three times and bomb for three more Raptor Strikes and all with an extra +2Cb. Flip for Escape or Survive or Distract as a Strategy or burn a Soulstone but get it back if you don't get them. Could be fun? [edit]And if they're really coming at you then don't [0]Advanced Training and instead [0]Ruthless Leadership on a Guild Guard and get another three Raptor Strikes in before hand.

Oops, Ryle isn't a friendly model! Replace the above with a Captains Mauser 9 for a max of 9 damage instead. Still not too shabby.

With this guy being your Master I think he'll have a fairly limited play style until the next book comes out. All his minions look rather damage based vs. popping cool tricks [apart from using a Lawyer]. Although using an Austringers Distract when you see them flip a Black Joker could be fun. [edit] And knowing when a Black Joker is going to pop will be a great thing when you have cool combo's that can bring about big damage. For example [1] Cross Examination for a near guaranteed failed Morale Duel. Also low duel totals when their facing off against Ryle's Gatling Gun is always good. Ala a greater chance of him getting either a straight Flip or positive Flip so you can cheat in that Fully Automatic trigger.

With Marcus's Beast Master ability can he hire a Night Terror? It's a Beast but also a Nightmare and a Spirit so am a little unsure. If so then Triggering Cold Nights when casting Night Falls could be fun with the -2Wp and a Sabertooth's Roar.

Ahh sacrificed dosen't drop counters does it? Thanks for correcting that. It's like being Removed From Play in Warmachine. Yes many similarities between the games in that regards. Thanks!
