I really like the skin on those Nephilim, but everything is pretty great across the board.

Yup, which works pretty well. Our local player takes the Sinister Reputation upgrade so that he can use Live for Pain to finish models off after he's shot his gun.

Unfortunately, Seamus can only fire his gun once per turn.

Well, Lord Chompy Bits doesn't really bury anymore. The Dreamer just summons a new Lord Chompy Bits each time his waking gets too high, and when Lord Chompy Bits dies (whether by being killed or sacrificing himself), the Dreamer comes back out. He actually doesn't really bury stuff anymore. Tara's the one that buries models now.

I enjoy playing Tara quite a bit, but I've heard people compare her to playing Von Schill before Wave 2 rules came out: you can play Von Schill and he works, but if felt like he was missing a few of his Freikorps toys (which he was). I think that once Tara gets a henchman and another thematic minion, most of her issues will sort themselves out pretty well.

I tend to lean on both aspects, but I've had quite a bit of success in taking Dead of Winter and using her fast pulse to hit the requisite enemy model and a good number of friendly models, then either send Void Wretches in to kill the fast model or bury it with Glimpse the Void or a Death Marshal. That, or I'll hit a bunch of enemy models around Karina with the fast pulse and let the Void Wretches tear them apart while they take damage for activating near her.

If you're looking for some beeftanks, then Lynch's starter box will give you three Illuminated, which are very tough and hard-hitting for Neverborn. They don't have much direct synergy with Pandora (other than being Terrifying, so hey, Horror checks), but they do punch faces in and refuse to die pretty darn well.

You could just bring along a Canine Remains, as they would give you the potential to dig up a corpse right away, and then can run off and do objectives on subsequent turns.

Just to check, because this comes up from time to time, are you allowing Pandora to do her push whenever she wins a Willpower duel, or whenever the opponent fails a Willpower duel caused by one of her attacks? If it's the latter, then I can see your concern, because she's not supposed to function like that and it will certainly make her more powerful than she's supposed to be.

That requires having a Sybelle, though.

Obedient Wretch has a page now. EDIT: Malifaux Rat as well.

Seduction's also pretty great for nuking your opponent's scheme markers from a distance.

I've found Kirai quite fun to play. Her summoning does take high cards to use effectively (just like most other summoners), but there's no TN on Sundering, which is a pretty good attack. Don't forget that she has Entwine Spirit, which lets her cannibalize a nearby friendly Spirit for +2 Ca on an action (which all her base actions are). If you have some Seishin or even a weakened Gaki nearby, that can carry you through a bad or mediocre hand reasonably well. Plus, you can discard those low cards to bring out her Ikiryo if she or her crew start getting attacked, so it's not as if low cards are utterly useless for her. Between Of Pity and Wind, Manipulative, and Lost Love, she's actually fairly durable so long as you don't end up with Justice or a Viktoria in her face (which is honestly going to ruin just about anyone's day). Her Swirling Aether upgrade helps with this quite a bit (and gives her another use for low cards).

I tried it out a bit in the beta (only two games or so), and while it was still useful, it ended up being less over the top than expected. The main problem was that Performers and Belles/Nurses sort of occupy the same support slot, with Performers being more expensive and squishier than Belles or Nurses, they ended up being useful and a neat alternate playstyle, but nothing I would bring with me to every game.

That looks like a list that would probably work better with Nicodem than McMourning, as you could turn the dead corpses of the dogs into better undead once they've done their part for the cause. I'd probably toss Maniacal Laugh on there in that case, just to further drive home the "expendable chaffe" aspect of the Resser faction.

I had a game this last weekend where I played Ressers against Arcanists. I took two Students of Steel in my crew, and with the help of a few pushes from the Necrotic Machine they bee-lined it for the Rail Golem and just dismantled it. A black joker on the Rail Golem's horror check to smack them back was quite lucky, but it also kept the hordes of Ramos spiders from swarming over them. All in all, I've been really happy with Steel and Sinew thus far, and probably use them more often than Viscera (who mostly just ends up getting summoned next to living models by Molly).

As a Henchman, you already seem to be pretty much doing the job already by running demos and teaching people how to play.

I've managed to get an entry in there for The Guilty.

The Leveticus card would just have a single entry on it. From Ash 9 : Abomination.

I've found the Poltergeist to be pretty awesome, all in all, though it is a bit fragile. Running it up to a model for the WP debuff really sets Pandora up to do a number on a model, and you can usually keep it safe by forcing the opponent to activate a distant Mood Swingy model instead of the model Pandora is about to slap around. As noted above, a fast, incorporeal, significant model is also a pretty nice, though that's more of a secondary benefit than anything else.

The following pages need to be renamed: Old Cranky --> M2E Old Cranky Whiskey Golem --> M2E Whiskey Golem Rooster Riders --> M2E Rooster Riders Bayou Bushwackers --> M2E Bayou Bushwackers Lightning Bugs --> M2E Lightning Bugs Bayou Gator --> M2E Bayou Gator Stilts --> M2E Stilts (are we doing separate pages for each upgrade?) M2E 10 Thunders Brother --> M2E Ten Thunders Brother

I just tossed the Ikiryo onto a 50mm base. She looked a bit lonely, though, so I ended up putting some extra GW zombie arms on there as well, like undead reaching up from the grave. The Avatar Ikiryo would work pretty well if you took Kirai off, I would think.

I just went through and fixed a whole bunch of links on the M2E Resser page that were pointing back at their 1st edition pages. I'll start going through the other faction pages to double check those as well. Ryle's page needs to be renamed. It's currently Ryle M2E, not M2E Ryle like the other pages. The Guardian, Hunter, Pistolero, and Watcher need to be renamed for similar reasons.

The original is my favorite as well.
