My understanding is that @mythicFOX finished first at an M3E tournament this weekend playing Sandeep. Do you mind @mythicFOX telling us how you played him? Do you think Sandeep is a bit too strong? 

Against Hoffman, shockwaves are good to consider too.

 @Caedrus I painted Ryle for 10 ss. I wanted to upload pictures but I am having issues with my photobucket account. Can someone recommend me another way to post pictures on the forum?

You did not include Amina. What was the reason? Did you miss her?

I would like to try M3E Ironsides once I paint a couple more of models.

Augmented like scraps too.

The two obvious cases for me are Hoffman fearing anti armour and Colette fearing stun and the ten thunders upgrade.

@PetitDalek This Molly is à s'taper l'cul par terre!

@Caedrus I very much like how you painted the feathers on the vulture

Hoffman should be good in reckoning I guess, provided the survivability.

I'd say most 7SS models have a stat 6 and 1" engagement. 

Yes. But, damage is typically lower.

For example,  looking at the arcanists---which is a faction I typically like---the following 7 stones models are min damage 2 with stat 6 (and 1" engagementI believe): Banasuva, Order Initiate, Envy, Blessed, Angelica. December acolyte is even stat 5 with min damage 2. The firestarter and Willie are also stat 5.

I wouldn't say Papa Loco needs a buff.

It's built in. The issue is the Stat 5 and 0" engagement. 

Sorry, I didn't express myself properly. I wanted to say that you don't get min 3 automatically. Depending on the attack, you either have to get some damage on yourself or your opponent has to pass duels over which you don't have control. I'm not worried about stat 5 and 0" engagement given that we are talking about a 7 stone model.

Admittedly I've played with Papa Loco only once during the open beta. But, for a 7 stones model, his damage track is pretty good. The min damage 3 of his attacks is not built in and sometimes relies on luck, but, for the cost of the model, it seems to be that we shouldnt expect more from him. Moreover, the guy is eight wounds with a bonus action to heal himself. He seems pretty good to me to be honest.

I've just updated details int he post above about fee, encounter size, strat and schemes and some other details.

2-0 was in favour of Nekima? I understand your concern about card draw but it seems like it was a lots of resources invested towards it and the final score does not suggest the Sandeep crew was overpowered. 

Which master(s) in arcanists do you think are better suited for each strat?

Not an arcanist model, but it can be taken with Hoffman: puncture on Ryle's gun is maybe a bit too good given that max damage is 6. He can power token the suit, making it relatively easy to do quite a lot of damage.

I'll just drop a stupid question. How do you generate scrap markers for Ramos now? It seems that creative salvage is ennemy only now.

I've just tried fast Ryle in an introduction game against Asami. The guy had focused 2 from toolkit. Maybe that wasnt the best way to introduce m3e. But I really liked him. Even though I black jokered one of the damage flips, it seems relatively easy to get 6 damage. He one shoted a yokai and I even had to cheat down the damage flip for vendetta because I could have killed ama no zako in one activation.

Hello,

Imbued Energies on Myranda is Arcanist 101 IMHO. Every good list I played in M2E had it. 

It is a good upgrade but it is a good filler too: if you have too much stones, this is a quick way to reduce your extra stock without thinking too much. I wouldnt draw the conclusion that a list is bad if it does not include imbued energies.

edit: oh you meant with Myranda. I liked a lot that combo but I understand that some people considered the cerberus quite fragile even though it had amazing damage spikes.

Also,I checked already and you can't use 2 PT for both a suit and  

 

 

Yes, but Ryle's positives is already built in. You just need a power token to include the ram. Two shots mean two power tokens to have a positive on both attack and damage flip.

Spoiler: You can give him Focuses and Powertokens.

I cant use the governor proxy in arcanists XD

puncture on Ryle's gun looks amazing to me, especially because you can power token it. I havent tried him yet, but I wanted to in my next game just because of this. By using two power tokens you can get the equivalent of two focus shot (postive on both the attack and the damage flip) with max damage 6 in one activation.

I'll start with Ryle I think:
