Von Schill is a great start for outcasts as both the trapper and the librarian will be used in many lists; all the models other than Von Schill and the steam trunk are also mercenaries socan be hired out of faction. Barrow's box set was only availible during the gen con sale, but potentially might also be up for sale during the Black Friday sale. So if you want to start playing I reccomend picking up another box to start, and picking up Parker when you have the chance.

Fairly difficult right now, if only because the box is not on general release.... That said I don't feel he would be more difficult than any other scheme/control master. He won't be as straight forward as Von Schill or Perdita, etc. But certainly doable.

Lovelace is a mercenary. She costs nine soulstones but will have to pay an extra stone to be hired out of ressurrectionists. She is a freikorps model however so will still benefit from freikorps specific buffs. I find myself bringing her in scheme pools requiring me to spread out as she has a better capability to reach out and touch someone than Hannah, and is slightly more mobile being on a smaller base.

Well one thing to try if you don't already is to have models you will be summoning out on the side of the table on top of their cards, so that you don't spend play time looking for cards/models. That is probably the easiest way to speed up play. Its like a wargaming mis en place, except with plastic and cards instead of vegetables...

Hannah works well in a daw crew. She can torment herself by copying the guilties cast. Lots of tormented models have casts for her to copy. When tormented her suit ignoring aura extends to five inches (Which is a huge table area off her 50mm base.) with creeping terror, and writhing torment gives her some extra mobility. Similarly her sister also works well for similar reasons in a daw crew. I personally use hannah as the big threat for my opponent to spend resources trying to kill, while the rest of my crew disrupts the enemies schemes. As the rest of daw's crew and Jack himself tend to put quite a strain on the opponents hand, if you can get manage to get Hannah into a group of enemies and attack a low df one it can even be potentially worth while to stone for the suit, drop some blasts and force a bunch of horrer duels on the damaged models.

I use the combo with Jack daw but it translate well. What really makes the combo shine is Anna Lovelace. She stops enemy models from pushing out of the tarpit, and can shoot into engagement without randomizing leading to quicker model elimination.

It's absolutely ok. Everyone will be happy to have a new player. Unless you play outcasts.... For some reason people don't like playing against them; no idea why...

Hey you should try coming down to West Lafayette at Sage's Shop. We meet every Tuesday night around 6-6:30, and are planning on starting a league in the coming months. Unfortunately I'm moving soon; I recommend contacting prof_bycid as he acts as our local organizer.

The intro to that album is probably even better flavor!

Also flamethrower... Just saying dude on a horse is way less cool.

Hodgepodge Emissary is a great 4ss minion. Its hard to remove, and has some tactical utility. Where it really shines is with Levi. Throw in Tally Sheet, and with Loyalty to the Coin up you're likely gaining a soulstone a turn. Convict gunslingers are also a solid buy; with JD they can push into position to flurry. And at 7ss a piece can act as anchors for Levi. In my last game using one, I burned oathkeeper, and flurried to knock a Sabretooth Cerebus down to 2 wounds left and made it slow.

From: themostexcellentandawesomeforumever-wyrd.com/topic/112521-jack-daw-v-ramos-scheme-running/ Having acquired the crossroad's seven since that post, I also recommend adding in Lust, and Sloth. The goal here is to shut down the summoning engine, and deny your opponent the ability to cheat in high cards for more spiders as he will have to discard.

I had some decent luck against Ophelia with Daw and Lovelace combo. Lovelace is handy as she stops people from squeeling away if close enough to her. And Daw himself in cover is hard for snipers to hit. Convict gunslingers are also handy if you need to counter snipers. Their defensive trigger lets them shoot back regardless of range. Daw also is an effective counter to the pigapult if you bring a strongarm suit. After tormenting him, with scout the field you can charge up 28 inches from your board edge on turn one (ignoring terrain and LOS on the charge). Just watch out for moon shinobi, as they get pluses to hit and damage Daw.

Ivan, thats why you bring Vanessa with Howling Wolf Tattoo. Mercenary models within LOS do not need to discard a card to flurry or rapid fire. So you're getting a free flurry, but paying for fast. Not to mention Vanessa is pretty solid on her own.

Its specifically an Aura. Ignoring damage from pulses is different, as they are different sources of effects.
