  1. But perditia is not acting, it's a response to so done else's action. Hence as far as I can tell, she would not score head hunter points Hence you need to be careful with things such as sebastian's aura. They could die if they take 3 DMG due to poison but no one was actings, so no one can score. I think
  2. Yeah - I think a lot of people could happily take ten with Luna on the table! My personal sweet spot is two with Luna, but if I'm in a scheme pool which I can declare, then I take all four to as some redundancies.
  3. Ticket purchased, and I think their are only a few left
  4. Perhaps look at it this way.... Considerations such as what your opponent is playing faction wise (and by extension model wise), the terrain you are playing on, how your opponent likes to play the game... These are all things you can't control. So in all honesty, if you are fairly new - don't worry about them, you can learn as you go along. A great example of this is now using soulstone miners to hunt hollow waifs from now on. What you can control however is: * knowing which masters you like to take and why * what models you like to take and why * what the potential strategies you can face (is the book and gg15) * what the potential scheme are Hence what I did was create a 'cheat sheet' of models. Essentially its one page of a4 which I keep in my phones case, and when I have a spare minute on the bus I read through and refresh myslelf. In short I went through all of the strats and schemes, looked at what I needed to do, but also what I would expect I would need to stop someone else doing it. Let's take power ritual as an easy example. You need to drop a scheme marker in a specific place in the board, but then you do not need to have that model about. Hence I am looking for models which are speed over staying or fire power, so to me that's watchers or guild hounds. However, I may want to include something shooty like riflemen or austringers to stop the opponent in case they decide to take the same. Hence, when I get to a tournament, I have an idea right away what I want to take as soon as I can see the strats and schemes. I also keep it very simple, as that is all my brain allows The other thing I do is then randomly generate a set of schemes ( via the breach or @malifaux schemes ) and then practice while the missus is watching something awful like east enders constructing a crew. Hence, now I have confidence I can get a crew on the table which has the right things. If only I could play better Hope that helps? Sorry for the need to re edit quite a bit. Long posts and tablets don't mix!
  5. Hiya Can you take me off the reserve list please? Been able to use my brownie points elsewhere. Thanks Matt
  6. So don't understand the yan lo hate... Or Tara when she's ressers at least. I always thought it was the rest of the crew which was the problem barring dead of winter. Wyrd wisely have built a lot of flexibiltity into the upgrade system, but I think changing strategies, schemes even, and personally even deployment can help shake meta's up. The only thing I would say is that the only specific master I have an 'anti' list for is levy (only time I go for the guild fish and chips of 'two austringers and a Francisco please), and even then that's built so it would still help with other outcasts. Again, I think on the assumption people end up getting enough of a faction to be flexible in list creation, then most of this goes down to small percentages of advantage compared to skill
  7. Washing machines live longer with DA BLUEMARINEZ!
  8. Just to say thanks to all for an awesome day. Great to have you all down and hope you all enjoyed yourselves! Hope to see you all soon.
  9. PS - Facebook link is not working for me. Is it my computer or does anyone else haver problems accessing it?
  10. Be worried about riders always I understand your point, and I do have sympathy. I attended a few tournaments last year and felt woefully unprepared. You have actually given me something to kick start my blogging with so I'm going to come back soon with some detailed ramblings on how I learnt to write lists on the fly. However, pre-releasing schemes is not the answer in my opinion. As others have stated while it seems a boon for newbies, it just allows everyone to be one step a head which allows more experienced player even more time to adjust for terrain/deployment/opposite faction.
  11. The not so super sub (me) is now teaming up with John burgess to show you all how not to play lol.
  12. Coming back to the topic... I learnt the game with 'Dita and when I don't know what to do then I'll take her. Close 2nd's are macmourning and McCabe. Perdita when its all very killy, McCabe when its schemy, and then MacMourning when I need something in between.
  13. Once you pause the 'he's better in neverborn' (illuminated anyone?) And also 'I can only stand back and fire riflemen with him alongside dashel', then Lucius can be great. Favourite with him is Sergeants playing subuteo with scheme markers for plant explosives. Also like executioner with him as 'what lackeys are for' can really save a whole turn of manouvering with them
  14. Hi all, We are looking for one more team, other wise we are going to have to unleash our not so super sub. Hence if you have any friends who would like to come along.... There are still spaces for teams left. Just post here and send the money through. Any other queries then please let me know.
  15. Ah sorry Bradley and Arran - it's me being thick! Thanks for signing up and see you Saturday week!
  16. Hi metalhed Are you one have of Rory and Shaun are you an entirely new pair. Sorry if I am being thick - trying to finish of my first essay for my line management qualification.... (Brain numb).
  17. Woo hoo! Thanks greebs and mike. Looking forward to seeing you Saturday week!
  18. Unleash the doppelsammer!
  19. No - more likely the danger of falling into the abyss of neverfilth!
