What new parker will do:

- Crazy WYRD way - because he got influenced by Burning man, he will get some weird Burning and Scheme Marker Synergy Maybe enemy scheme markers are Hazardous, burning +1 ?

- Optimistic - after Perdita show, he will change role, maybe summoner or full support? 

- Realistic - probably some 14" positive filp attack on rifle and some scheme markers synergy that won't work until specific counter pick like Colette.

Bandit new model - something that will drop enemy scheme markers to allow friendly guys T1 to do some nice things. Probably linked with Explorers society to push more OC + ES  (we already have starter set)  

Looks like your realistic option was correct, except the scheme marker synergy might not even work as a counter pick. Shared model was correct too.

Malifaux Child might be good with new Jack. Both Draw Them In and Unquiet Soul are good actions with low TNs.

Does Auguste really need Distracted synergy? He seems to mostly want it on himself, something few models will give him.

Outcast Daw also has access to projectile vomit.

In 2e his only bonus action was summoning a stolen.

It would be interesting if he loses his demise ability but gains something else he can use the Waifs for.

If there's a horseman Levi there's still no reason the shared model would be a horseman. The shared models are supposed to be useful for both version of the master.

Wokou Raiders are better in Bandit than Last Blossom. It's much easier to make them fast each turn in Bandit.

Zipp and Titania? Piano playing Rougarou?

I wonder if Youko2 will make the rounds as an effective 2nd Master; you only miss out on the Pass Tokens which this one barely uses.

I'd say the Pass Tokens are one of her strongest abilities. After turn 1 it's comparable to Ill Omens +2.

It is weird why Promising Whisper isn't non-master.

Ama No Zako can't make Youko declare Black Stain. When Ama No Zako makes Youko take Hidden Ledger the action is declared as a result of a trigger so it cannot declare triggers.

I believe the Redchapel's problem isn't that the models are bad but that Seamus excels at something completely different than his keyword. Seamus is great at running off on his own  while his keyword wants to stick together. If you were to run him in keyword I guess you would want to concentrate on making Seamus attack multiple times with positive flip thanks to "Why Hello, Love" and "Redchapel Killer". It would require people to play him much differently than they currently do which may be why you don't see it often at higher levels. Sybelle would probably be crucial with that kind of playstyle.

EDIT: Another way to play Seamus in keyword would be to have his crew group together in a place you can score while Seamus runs after anything that's out of reach of your bubble.

I do not know how competetive those playstyles would be.

Daw is getting packed with Nellie.

Generally when I play Parker I do not count on my enemy ever voluntarily placing a scheme marker unless 4+ schemes require scheme markers.

Your "Realistic" option sounds identical to the most negative description of current Parker apart from the range.

Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

The only ones that heal 2 is OG von Schill and Freikorpsmenn.

Just looked it up and indeed he is.

About the titles. Isn't there a good chance the titles won't be in the app until late into the tournament?

It should also be remembered that most of Tara's models can attack buried models when charging so you can still advance while beating buried stuff.

In standard deployment, if Tara starts within 3" of the emissary she can make 33 charge something in the enemy deployment zone in the first activation of turn 1 and then pull him back into her own deployment zone.

I missed the part about not burying him.

Why not bury him and unbury him with expedite? It moves him further without effectively spending more actions.

Don't forget expedite makes 33 slow.

I've tried them twice. They work well together with Tara using rewind on 33, burying him and then using expedite to unbury him and make him charge, burying and enemy and then pulling 33 back to the rewind marker. Then use Talos/Scion/Nothing Beast/all three to beat up whatever thing you buried.

Generally speaking you'll want incorporeal models since they synergize very well with rewind, being able t reduce the damage to keep the echo marker to 0 and the damage from burnout to 1. If you intend to bury enemies you'll pretty much need 33 since you lost the ability to spam glimpse the void. Talos is often too slow to bury stuff but he's still great if you brought 33.

Though as I said, I've only tried them twice.
