So, since the Austringer ignores LOS and Cover can he make a ranged strike against an engaged model without chance of hitting other models engaged with the target?

Thanks for the advice everyone! Guess I got to pick up a Drill Sergeant now, he is definitely the better option after all that advice and comparing the two again. I've only played one game with Lucius, and reflecting on it I think having a sarge would have helped a lot at how I was trying to play, and also that cost isn't much of an issue. I had 4 SS and it was clear that having another model on the table would have been more useful than those SS with Lucius. Thanks!

Howdy, I'm new to Malifaux and am starting a Lucius crew and am looking to expand beyond the starter. So far I've grabbed a Guard blister and an Austringer. I'm pretty happy with my crew option for low SS games while I learn, but I want to get a totem to increase my Crew's effectiveness while not changing its playstyle. Most places I've seen suggest a Drill Sergeant and I can definitely see the advantages there, but I do not want to rule out the Governor's Proxy right away. The Drill Sergeant seems quite beneficial to boosting other Guardsman, and can also hang back with Lucius to act as Secret Service and be there to be sacrificed. But what worries me is his lesser casting ability whereas the Proxy is as effective as Lucius at casting and is also cheaper. Has anyone compared these totems by battlefield testing before? Also here are my potential 25 SS lists: Guild Crew - 25 - Scrap Lucius -- 2 Pool/3 Pool Drill Sergeant [3ss] or Governor's Proxy [2ss] Guild Austringer [5ss] Guild Guard [4ss] Guild Guard [4ss] Guild Guard [4ss] Guild Guard Captain [7ss] (available models to add: Ryle or Lawyer)

Thanks everyone! I have some extra sleeves around so I think I will stick with that for now

Hello, just got into Malifaux and was curious about how people mark their wounds on the model cards. I've seen a lot of people laminate them but I'd like to keep them able to fold. Would I be able to mark the cards directly with an expo marker? I didnt want to try Thanks!
