And I guess if you want more Belles early on in the game then this strat wouldn't be good for you. Just an option and a thought for the collective think tank. Me? Almost painted the Redchappel box set! Next the Hanged, Crooked Men and the Copycat Killer! Oh and now with a book in hand the above combo would be 1st turn scoot up the table. Second turn pop (0) For My Family giving you +3 to Duel's totals and 2 +ve flips to damage. After that you (1) Uncontrolled Fire twice for 4 Second-Hand Pistol shots at for grand total of +1 to your Duel total. Not too bad for a 2SS model that drops corpse tokens and if your lucky the oppoent could have wounded him 1st turn so Frantic triggers. :0

Just read through Rising Powers and I'm sure everyone has thought of using the Desperate Mercs? 2SS cost, pop them 2nd turn and go crazy with the 4 shooty attack that they can do [no book next to me]. Then once they're dead use the saved SS to summon a Belle and still have a spare up your sleeve for doing it again afterwards. Situational I know but handy nonetheless.

Thanks for those suggestions and using SS's to hit is something I've picked up on today after my second game with the crew. We played boxed sets vs. Perdita and the Belles struggled with the high WP apart from Luring in Papa Loco which isn't all that useful. Nevertheless expanding on that idea what are peoples thoughts on saving SS on taking Belles and then trying to summon them during the game? [You'd burn a SS with say a lowish feathers card to make sure it happens]. Just got thinking about the option as 25SS and even 30SS games get pretty tight in regards to what options you can take. And heck if you can save say three or two SS then your ahead. Anyone tried this option before? ala Take two Belles instead of three and with the 4SS use one to res a Belle during the game and take a beatstick in exchange. Also picked up a blister of Crooked Men today. Can't wait to use Slow to Die and then pop Shafted. So funny!

Thanks for the replies guys. An Onryo? I haven't but love the models. Oh will also need to pick up the second book. Looks like needed reading now. OK will head to the LGS today.

Well trying my hand at my first Seamus list. I've had the grand total of one game with his crew at box sets and liked him straight out. Not the most badass melee master around but fun nevertheless because of the tricks he can play with positioning. And heck, stuff like that keeps me coming back for more rather than when to set off a beefsticks charge. Well after some thought and with an event coming up at 25SS I thought I'd try this combo out. Seamus Copycat Killer Belle Belle Hanged Convict Gunslinger 3SS in the bag Thoughts? The general idea is to play their hand down with the Gunslinger and the Hanged. Lure people in with the girls to break up their lines and let Seamus pop away with his gun and use his Terror 14 and Bag o Tools as much as he can. Well that's til the first game anyways. Ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks for the guide guys and interesting reading. It certainly has got me thinking about the crew over the last few days. Just one thing for consistency's sake. Defensive Stance has been changed. So no more Wk 8". At best Marcus can Wk 6" as Defensive Stance has to be his first action he'll take.
