Ladys and Gentleman, I'm glad to write it I'm very happy that my first post will be big and I hope interesting for you. To be honest I'm not very good player but at least I have some expirience in playing by my favorite master, adventurer and maybe one of the most interesting characters of the Malifaux - Lucas McCabe. I don't want to write basic info about him. I think you are familiar with pull-my-finger and google. So I would like to share some of my thoughts about Shifting Loyalities and new guardsmans. First of all we have new mounted guardsmans and master Quiegg. Honestly I think that this guys are too awesome not to take it. But first thing first. Mounted Guardsmans to good to be not taken. I suppose that this is one of the most interesting part of the book. They are able to drag other guys (with good CG according to the rule) in to attack. As I imagine my list around McCabe it's Lucas, Luna, 2 trusted Henchmans (sidir and Quegg) and expandable material (minions). So let's try to imagine who is it gona be? My idea is simple - Illuminated. They are tough, good at fighting and can start horrible things under "the promises" upgrade. I think that the same things could make oirans but they are too fragile. We can take 1 rider, 2 illuminated and we will still have enough points for Henchman and scheme runners. Oh about schemes. Master Quegg is gona be very useful for it. It's hard to kill this man, he is able to deal an average amount of damage and force other to do their job. So let's try to imagine. mounted guard+illuminated+sidir+luna+quegg+dogs sounds good for me.) Hope you enjoyed me thoughts. Will be glad to discuss it.) I think that together we will be able to make some good points.
