EnT

Hey, posted a few times but thought I should introduce myself. I'm a US player from St. Louis, MO. I've played a few games of Malifaux, although just with a few friends, so any players in the area, hit me up if you're looking for someone to play with.

If you take Hulk as the leader, you cap at 4 SS, not 7.

Quite right, sorry, always forget that henchmen work differently with regards to SS limits.

What about taking Von Schill instead? His Slow to Die aura means one of his boys can pop him out when they die. Maybe:

Von Schill

2 Freikorpsmen

Librarian

Trapper

Killjoy

32ss, 7ss cache

I also like the bases, and the Von Schill looks fantastic.

Only played the Dreamer once, but a couple thoughts:

1) Not sure of his playstyle, but with the Outcasts it can be really easy to split up your crew a lot thanks to specialization and varied mobility (the Viks are fast, others not so much). This lets Dreamer pick him apart piece by piece; far better to stay somewhat close together so that everyone can jump on whatever you drop out.

2) I would absolutely drop bishop. I know not everyone agrees, but he doesn't do it for me. Add another Ronin, and maybe a convict gunslinger to put out some ranged fire. He might try making the gunslinger and librarian a center for a castle with the Viks, Taelor and to a lesser extent the Ronin staying w/in 8" of them in different directions as needed by the scenario. This way there's some fire support (in Rapid Fire) and healing generally available to everyone who might need it.

3) I usually try to keep one ronin safe and alive to summon another Vik if need be.

Just a few thoughts, although like I said, I'm not used to fighting th Dreamer, so I'm sure someone more qualified on here has better thoughts.
