The pathfinder's shotgun has been replaced with a carbine that can give slow instead of dealing damage that ignores armor. Please review and give a cost so I can use him in my friendly games with my group?

Well yeah... but getting people to play Apocalypse is so hard...

Great idea with the Competetive Shooter ability. Now no one has to worry about Sniper stacking.

I run the Guild Riflemen as regular Fire Warriors. My 40k army is Dieselpunk themed (the human element is all WWI British/WWII American) so the story goes that they slipped through a Breach in the Warp and crash landed in the badlands of Malifaux. I've been mostly playing McCabe (as a guy in a battlesuit) with Von Schill (as a Commissar). Would you suggest dropping these guys down to Rare 1? I have them rare 2 because they really are kind of glassy when you get down to it. Yes, Bulletproof 1 and Guerilla Fighter, but what I've seen in Malifaux is that combat and casting rule, whereas shooting is relatively weak. And to match their race's fluff, they are terrible in combat and will be hacked to pieces very quickly. I'll update their profile with your suggestions. I'm looking to make a very melee breakable sniper unit at around 7ss. Additionally, I wouldn't be using any named characters like Nino Ortega or Hans. A couple of these guys with less buffs, boosts, triggers and abilities will be my replacement. I'm trying to put together a small friendly list to use my stranded Kill-Teams against my friends, who run Ressurectionists and Neverborn.

Ok, advice has been taken and the profile has been updated. Being able to use the Sniper ability has become a (2) action with built in strike, so the model will have the option between two normal shots or a single sniper shot, and the targeting matrix is now a (0) spell so Han's goggles arent an always on ability. The reposition trigger has been removed to give him less of a suit advantage.

Adran: I know I stuck this in Outcasts, but i play Guild (usually McCabe with Von Schill). Should I move it to get a more reliable read?
