  1. As hilarious 4 shots of range 8, Sh 4, positive flip to hit, minimum 3 damage would be, it's a lot of set up for something that can be offhandedly killed..... but at that point you are playing Gremlins. Both vik's, Vanessa, the student of Conflict and associated upgrades leave you with 8 Desperate Mercenaries, totaling 12 model crew, 65 total wounds. With only the initial 4 with Fates Intertwined to spread healing, that's still a pretty out there scheme machine. Still, unlikely to really work. I was unaware that was a thing... but now I'll add it to my pile of Lucius concepts, thanks.
  2. I don't take the whole army, just the key weak support ones that hide in the back. I took out The Dreamer last weekend this way before he could summon Chompy.
  3. I do because it gives him a 9" charge, plus the 2" cyber arm range, it gives him an 11" reach across the table, twice if Fast, so that's near the whole table.
  4. I would say Von Schill, Viktoria, Parker or Misaki.... a more terrestrial based crew to counter the fullly supernatural crew Jackie, Tara and Levi provides. Hamelin is in the middle, either he's super terrestrial or really out there, so I'd say no so you'd have to stretch your legs, metaphorically speaking. This way people don't know what you're doing when you declare outcasts. Do I prepare for manipulation? Do I prepare for a beat down?
  5. There's no way Hamelin is giving up The Pipes to walk quickly.
  6. It's utterly hilarious with Desperate Mecenaries. its kind of scary with Nix allowing Hounds Guild Hounds to be hired. Fast charging companion scheme running for those useless 4s?
  7. I've been trying to see if they fit in a Lucius Guild crew, as they are both mimics; it's a hard fit, but I only half heartedly am looking as I don't play Guild yet. I have found use of Graves in Brewmaster, pushing people into Drinking Party ring(s), but only as a tertiary choice.
  8. Scramble on Bishop does wonders, and flurry with that extra move is amazing. or Oath Keeper to charge and charge or charge and flurry something big is impressive.
  9. This is mostly just to make sure I'm not missing anyone. You can put the Howling Wolf Tattoo upgrade on Viktoria of Blood, Viktoria of Ash, or Vanessa (but let's be honest, it's only going on Vanessa). The only models who can receiving the DBATC ability are: Flurry: Bishop, Ronin, Johan(a). Rapid Fire: Convict Gunslinger, Torakage. Am I missing anyone? I feel like I'm missing someone.
  10. When does the Alternative Lazarus come out, is there a date? When I started I sought out the metal ronin, metal alt female desperate mercenary and miss demeanor metal alt convict gunslinger.... I wish they would put them in plastic or redo them (god, please redo the female desperate merc, that pose is atrocious). I personally would want alt all freikorps, females where there are males; males where there are females; steam trunk as a locker, maybe? The emissary needs a new model because the damn hooves keep snapping off!
  11. The visual of throwing Lazarus across town is hilarious.
  12. Really? Wow... only took them 100 years to learn about Madam Butterfly. Guess they should have watched more anime.
  13. Darn, I thought Chatty was a little more common of an ability than that. Ah well, thanks for digging for me, folks.
  14. How can I get a model with Chatty in an Outcast crew? There's no one in faction I can remember who has it, and off the top of my head no mercenaries with it either. Point to me where I've forgotten or skipped over a model with that ability, or are we out of luck?
  15. Mistaken is taboo but Misogyny is okay? That is an odd comfort scale on any linguistic chart.
  16. Wouldn't Miss Taken be a better name for Gremlin in Drag?
  17. I was unaware of that... maybe I should pair him with Student of Conflict. Slow and no melee conditions can cause havoc with their plans. ... but is it worth 4 cards?
  18. If you have I Pay Better available and Hans' zero upgrade on him, you can discard for a focus, shoot the master at 36" for 1 AP, 0 action for another focus, then shoot the master again at 36" for 1 AP, potential forcing 4 cards out of hand. If you can get Fast on Hans, you can also make one of the shots Ping!
  19. I lost horrible because I picked a sniper crew (trappers and hans) vs Rasputina and got out shot as well as misread a scheme. Had a blast jumping VS across the table and back again, though, so worth it.
  20. Once, just to see if I could do it, bought VS with the two new upgrades and Scramble, then used Emissary to put on The Shirt Comes Off, the used all three actions to put all three Oath Keepers on VS. That left him with 3 rounds of 4AP with a 9" charge and a 2" melee range, ignoring everyone and terrain.
  21. Yes, Lucius' box is not good, and as a starting master he is difficult as his play style is nuanced and complex; would not recommend to start. also, they errataed his card a ton, so before you start looking into reprints, get a grasp of the game first. Marcus is one of those holes you fall down because his hiring pool is so deep. You'll use most of the box all the time, then just keep adding beasts to your collection, making your lists really versitile. Rasputina and Seamus' boxes you'll completely use all the time. Wong box you can use or ignore completely depending on what you're doing as there are many, many.... many gremlin tricks. I'd recommend Rasputina or Marcus, as they are both Arcanists. I find it easier to start a second crew when you already have the basic tools of the same faction already, and since you're interested in these two, starting one, then the other later on, would be easier on you. Then once you have a handle on the game, you can branch out to Lucius and see what things he changes.
  22. That fix was my favorite of the whole show. Such a "useless" model that would be amazing in so many situations... but still be useless. the highlights for me, fluff wise, would be prentending to be a Beast, Hound, and Pig (making then a furry), Last Blossom (Naruto running), or Undead (that scene from Shaun of the Dead).
  23. Best description ever! What you want to do is find the master model, or any model in the game, that you find the most appealing. the model that draws you in and makes you want to put it on the table, the narrow your choices from there. alternatively, it may be a rule you like... I fell in love with the Fates Intertwined rule on the Viktoria's when I started. Once you find the model/rule you love, go from there to build your crew. Every crew is capable of winning, but not every crew will draw you in personally.
  24. So finally got to use the list with slight modification: 50 SS Outcasts Crew Hamelin + 2 Pool - Plague Pits (1) - The Piper (2) - Sewer King (1) Montresor (9) - Fearful Whispers (1) - Brick By Brick (0) Nix (8) - Oath Keeper (1) Greed (9) - The Creeping Terror (1) Crooligan (4) Crooligan (4) Crooligan (4) Obedient Wretch (4) (exported from CrewFaux) played it twice in a three round tournament, the first time it failed because I was against another Hamelin crew, so half were immune to blight or conditions in general. The second time it was against an Ironsides crew and worked wonderfully. I was still clumsy with it so only pulled out a 6-6 draw, but really shut down stuff and nickeled and dimed everything, made them keep pushing for getting the Plague Pits rather than more schemes. Once I get more comfortable with this one it may be my default build.... I really enjoyed playing it.
