Usually, I'll take one Sabertooth, then either a Rogue Necro or Blessed. 

The easiest way I've found to get a new pose for a model is to hunt down the old metal model. It looks significantly different from the current plastic one. 

When I run Marcus, I normally take two of the following: a Sabertooth Cerberus, a Rogue Necromancy, or Blessed of December (Luther).

i then add Myranda, a Canine Remains, a Hoarcat Pride, and (of course) a Jackalope. Depending on the schemes & strategy, I might switch in a shooting model (most likely December Acolyte or Silent One) or possibly a Razorspine Rattler.

I would also add that the ability to summon her totem is indispensable, especially as a way to bring out Killjoy, if you're playing that sort of Molly crew..... 

Edited to fix autocorrect issue. 

If you end up in Missouri, we have a small but active group in Columbia, a decent-sized group in St. Louis (with 2 venues holding tournaments on a regular basis), and a newish group in Kansas City. 

I would second the Ramos box, since every model in the box (barring the master and totem) is useful with Ironsides and, to a lesser extent, Colette.

For Marcus, I would pick up a Rogue Necromancy. It is amazing with him, and useful in Rezzers. (Arcanists are my main faction; Rezzers, my second.)

I generally run Ramos with Hank, Joss, and one other beater/support model (Johan, Envy, Emissary), backed up by Brass Arachnid and a Mobile Toolkit. My strategy involves heavy summoning (both arachnids and electrical creation) plus reactivating Hank turn one for a quick kill. I use Arcane Reservoir, Electric Summmoning, and Under Pressure for Ramos's upgrades, and put Imbued Energies on every other model which can attach upgrades. I've never gotten much use out of Combat Mechanic.

Is that an alternate Joss?

Yes, yes it is.

Dr. Sokolov was one of the Arcanist character from the TtB Nythera campaign.

I would say either Ramos or Marcus in general.

Since you already have a summoning master, Marcus might work better for you. On a related note, try running the Sabertooth Cerberus with Raspy. It's not an every game thing, but it can be a lot of fun.

The Drowned and especially the Hanged. 

They are some of the best spirits you can summon. 

This crew is set up to blast/kill/paralyze anything which attempts to hold the stash and act as distractions while the Blessed and Ice Dancer work on schemes. Taking Set Up and teasing Claim Jump (or vice versa) while placing a number of scheme markers near the stash could add a bit more control over where my opponent moves, also. 

December Acolytes are hands down some of the best shooters in faction. Their harpoon gun makes whatever it hits Slow, and has a built-in trigger to make your opponent discard a card. They provide a decent damage track, activation control, card control, and Frozen Heart all in a surprisingly resilient package.  I highly recommend them for use with either Raspy or Colette. 

Since Miss Terious is a Death Marshal, you can use her with Tara, assuming you play Outcasts or Rezzers. 

I tend to run Soulstone Miners with Kaeris. Their ability to unbury as needed places them where I need them for scheme running, anti-scheming, or targeted removal of inconvenient models. The ability to add soulstones to your pool doesn't hurt, either. 

Joss

Howard Langston (Imbued Energies)

Mobile Toolkit

Arcane Effigy

I find that I can fit either Snow Storm or the Emissary into my Raspy crews, but not both, and I find Snow Storm more useful for my play style, so it's tough for me to fit the Emissary in. 

If you bring the 2 Acolyte crew, your opponents will curse your name, ancestry, and progeny for 7 generations. 

Seriously, that is evil in HH. Go for it. 

Actually, it depends on the exact type of pie or cake. One the one hand, pecan pie; on the other, devil's food cake with chocolate frosting.... Tough choice.

Sue is an Outcast mercenary with a decent gun and a flaming guitar. He is loosely based on the Man in Black himself, Johnny Cash. 

For Arcanists, it's tough to beat December Acolytes as FFM targets. From the Shadows so they're in an accessible location, resilient enough to need a heavy hitter to take down, and annoying as heck if they're allowed to shoot things. 

Other prime targets would be Howard Langston/Miss Step, Sabertooth Cerberus, and the Firestarter. 

For Arcanists, I would feel comfortable running Ramos or Marcus for just about any schemes and strategy. Of course, my play style likely varies from that of many others, so mileage may vary.

I wouldn't use the Acolytes for demoing because they are almost too powerful. Solid damage plus slow plus discard can be overwhelming to an experienced player. Taking such devastating models against someone in their first game could drive them away from the game.

Of the decks I own, I'd rank them Classic first, then Bad Ink and Arcane (Black), in order of aesthetic preference.

For ease of shuffling, Bad Ink, Classic, then Arcane. The Arcane deck was extremely slippery at first, but did get better as it was broken in. Also, I had to retire my first Arcane deck because several cards had been scuffed or damaged enough that I felt they were effectively marked, the worst being my Red Joker with an obviously bent corner. As I have ten thumbs when it comes to shuffling, my Classic deck has become curved over time, so I'm using it less these days. My Bad Ink deck is still holding up fairly well, though.

In my opinion, it is very unlikely that you would use 3 of any of those models at a given time. In the year and a half I've been playing, with Raspy and the December Acolytes my first models purchased, painted, and played, I've used 3 December Acolytes in a crew maybe 3 times, ever, and the last time was for a purposefully degenerate spam list. 

In my opinion, one should almost never need more than 2 of any given unit, barring specific circumstances (Steam Arachnids with Ramos, Oxfordian Mages, etc.).

I love the Wendigo targeting system....

Yes, you can use two separate receipts, so long as they add up to $60 or more. I've done it before.
