Firestorm Games has it available to order in their webshop. I also know that my FLGS (Dragon's Lair in Aarhus, Denmark) has received some stuff, and they've confirmed that it was not a Kickstarter reward, and it is indeed available from their distributor (dunno if that's Diacash, though), but I haven't seen it on their shelves yet.

Not a bad idea, actually. My completionist OCD also likes that this makes me get another M&SU Master

Easily my least favorite resculpt, and probably the only model where I prefer the old metal over the new plastic. Still getting one, though.

@Frisch and I will be teaming up as Full Retard.

Seems like an awesome list for Reckoning. Cheers

People definitely seem to think Gunsmiths and Ironsides are a match made in heaven. I guess it's due to HPM. An alternative to Message would be to find a way to fit in the Effigy, and have Toni hand out Burning with her fists... Dropping Message would get me to 3 stones, perhaps changing Reservoir for Challenge could be the way to get that last one? Also, as my partner said, including Howard may be half of this crew, but in total only a quarter of the entire crew, so any suggestion on a 25SS build using a big beater like Howard or Joss (hell, even the Rail Golem, which I've had lying around for ~2 years, and never used) would be appreciated

Nice one with the Challenge. I'm just so used to running Reservoir on Arcanists, it's usually my first SS spend I wouldn't mind wasting the one stone, though, but maybe there's a 2SS upgrade worth considering on Johan instead of Energies? The gunline list is mostly just a fun thought I had. I'll most likely be running the tarpit one. But basically, Willie takes a walk, which causes a blast to damage the Gunsmiths. Being damaged, they gain pseudo-Focus from Hand Picked Men. Ironsides sets their targets on fire, which gives them another 2 psuedo-Focus, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, I know Masters aren't allowed to lead 25SS crews. This is for doubles, however, so all bets are off I'm taking Ironsides to a casual doubles tournament, most likely partnered with Colette, and am looking into som potential builds. No strange rules, other than the 25SS limit, and spare stones are lost (not added to cache). My main problem is that the beaters she usually likes to bring, along with her upgrades, take a huge chunk out of a rather small amount of stones. I've looked into two builds so far, a tarpit and a gunline, and I'm looking for critique, and possibly suggestions for alternative builds. Tarpit: Toni (Arcane Reservoir, Frontline Leadership, Warding Runes) Johan (Imbued Energies) Oxfordian Mage (Blood Ward) Oxfordian Mage (Doom Ward) Idea is Toni ties up models and, along with Johan, brings a bit of pain. Hopefully, this will allow my partner's crew to run schemes relatively uncontested. Mages are mainly to keep Toni alive, but also provide a bit of ranged support. Reservoir might not be optimal in this build, and Toni will probably die. Gunline: Toni (Arcane Reservoir, Message from the Union) Gunsmith Gunsmith Willie Toni hangs back to buff Gunsmiths (HPM) while setting things on fire (Message). Willie blasts Gunsmiths to trigger HPM, and, hopefully, takes down a couple of enemy models in a Blaze of Glory TM. This build has two stones left over, though. Reservoir slightly safer in the build, as Toni isn't looking for trouble as much, but crew is lower on healing than other build. Could be dropped, though, to bring in Effigy, or another 4 Stone model. Not too familiar with Arcanist upgrades to know if any 2 Stone ones are worth taking. There. Feel free to tear me a new one, or suggest other potential other ways to run her in small pools

Right here

Gunsmiths will be released later this month (25th, I think), so that might be why you're having trouble finding them. I just picked up Ironsides as well, and just received my Johan to go with her yesterday. Awesome model, and he seems to have loads of synergy/theme with her as well, being M&SU. Other suggested purchaces seems solid as well, but be careful of not falling into the trap of bringing only M&SU models, and bunching up your crew (at least for the Strats and Schemes where that's a bad thing to do). Don't be afraid to bring something (preferrably self sufficient) that's not necessarily synergistic with her.

I'm curious as to why you don't mention Acolytes at all. They seem really strong, which The Collective Internet "Wisdom" seems to agree with, but I really liked your arguments on Gunsmiths and The Captain in the Kaeris Schemes & Stones, so I would love to hear your opinion on Acolytes as well

The card clearly states that the enemy modes has to be within the aura (which required both range and LoS) when the action is resolved, not declared or cast. Given MrDeathTrout's rundown of order of resolution above (granted, I don't have my book in front of me, but it seems correct), I'd say you're wrong.

Yeah, but lasercut MDF terrain still has a certain... boxiness to it. I happen to like that, though

My thoughts excatly.

TTCombat makes a lasercut MDF trainset, which I'd probably go for, but I guess you'd have to be into that 'lasercut MDF' look... http://ttcombat.com/collections/wild-west/products/steam-train-and-track
