So as far as my current crew goes it sounds like I should be running around with Seamus on the front, maybe with a totem and using him to Terrify everything while using his spell to prevent melee'ers from getting close to the belles/sybelle. Then Belle and the Sybelle's should be pulling range attackers into Seamus and Sybelle. Is that about it? I'm still going to try tweaking this army and if I'm still frustrated after that I'm really looking at Freikorps.

You know that makes a lot of sense. I guess with these big hitters coming at me I feel like I gotta take them out, but maybe I can just mess with the board/objectives. I will try that with my current army, especially since it'll be a bit before I invest in new pieces. That's entirely possible. My last mini games were Mage Knight and Infinity which aren't objective orientated. Combat is just what come natural, but I'll have to refocus. I have not actually. I'm guessing it's on this site somewhere, but I just came here and went straight to the forums really. I'll try to find him.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. It's awesome to hear so many options. I don't know much about any of those figures. I'll make a note to find some more out. I was told originally that Leveticus had a steep learning curve. At the time I was just learning the game, but now that I've got a little under my belt I'll look in to him. Right now my army consist of Seamus, Sybelle, 3 Rotten Belles, Copycat, and Bette. Bette has helped me slightly, but I don't have nearly as much control as I'd like. I've tried dropping Copycat as I can't do much with him. Casting some of Seamus' spells did help me once, but imo I'd rather the SS. That 1 Wd from using his Flintlock is frustrating. Sounds like I have some other things to look in, but you basically confirmed what I felt about Von Schill. He's likely to be my next crew, but I'll look at everyone suggestions.

First time posting, and fairly new to the game. I purchased the Seamus/Red Chappel Gang box as my first set, and significantly before I even knew if any of my friends would pick it up. Since I wasn't sure if I was every going to play I based it on looks and what I thought would be fun to paint. Fast forward a couple months and most of my group has an army. My problem now is that while Seamus' set has been largely unsuccessful for me, I believe the problem is a combination of not having the right figures or not having the right army for my playing style. In miniature games I've played in the past I typically run with army's that are divided between fast light-to-medium range hitters and slower heavy melee strikers. I thought I could get Seamus to perform this way with the Belle's Lure and Sybelle's melee - not to mention Seamus's aptitude at both melee and close range - but I'm being torn through by my friends' armies with little damage done to them. They have a Sonnia, Perdita, Ramos, Collodi, Viktorias, Ophelia, and Lilith. Many of them have good ranged options, and strong melee skills as well. I'd like to not have the same set as someone (but would if it was perfect for me), but what would be the best set for some ranged hitters (damage and/or buff/debuff), with some powerful melee forces? EDIT: I am current looking at the FREIKORPS Box or the Dreamer plus some other Nightmare figures. Thoughts?
