I do agree with this, for 2 extra ss it does the lord of lards job but better. Which kinda upsets me because i love the model for the executioner and like the idea of it. In a fun game situation it could be a fun model. but if you dont want a tank that shoot things and want a fantastic melee model the you take DR. Grimwell. which kind sucks cause the lord of lard just sits there and if like oh okay ill just sit here and do nothing.

Still If your playing a combo like this, he may make them points up, just needing to kill something of equal cost. I agree that the lead is too expensive, but for an additional 1 ss i think it might be worth, just for getting schemes onto your opponent side of the board.

I agree with you, I like the Emissary for this. It is a neat little trick. It will be interesting to see if the good old fat man makes it out of the fun zone and becomes into a competitive aspect. Versing an opponent with a heavy scheme game could be a fun, if not a physical game with the lord of lard (that has to be my favorite name for him now). What do you think upgrade wise, i like the lead line coat however i prefer the plant the evidence. So to me combo wise,move, move Emissary up, back in the box he goes, if your opponent drops a scheme marker then its summon the Lord of Lard and he can do his thing, eat up and stop schemes, then when he dies (as your opponent will have to focus him) drops a scheme marker and if done right your opponent will have focused him too much and you can focus on your own schemes. Win win win situation right there.

I think with lucius, a lot of new stuff that is going to come out will make him more effective. I find that with all of his fun abilities he does not actually have that big power house he needs to control, well my opinion anyway. with the mounted guard coming out i think this will help him in the long run, making other models like the warden even better due to the mass charge. Over all I would not say he is like the big three. I do reserve that with Lady J, Sonia and Perdita. All those sets have good flexible models in the boxes. Hoffman is a nice model, and his box set you get is great but i find i use more stuff out of the other crews boxes, IE death marshels, good old franky, witchling stalkers. Mc cabe is a solid choice and fantastic with guild hounds, i just prefer the other three, maybe is the fluff or maybe its just the utility not too sure.

It should be fun in power ritual since a lot of people have a hard time resisting that one. Gives you an executioner behind the enemy forces. The big risk with that is the fat man ending up alone on that side of the table instead but he should at least get a move out of discarding the marker. If they have put a scheme marker down it usually means that they 'should' be near at least, however the other problem is that if they know you have lord tubs and the Emissary they may be hesitant to drop scheme markers. However it is still a cool way of moving you majestic being up the board ( i am determined to give the executioner as many names as possible), also being able to run a scheme marker up the board, with say a watcher, would be a good way to getting that scheme marker in enemies lines.

If you want to proxy, the Brutal Emissary can be a fun idea, catapulting these beautiful lards. Also they can use his melee attacks while they are buried (could come in handy). I just like the idea of throwing this majestic fat man at an enemy scheme marker, eating that up and running around at your enemies models not caring.

Wardens can be a nice touch, with there plus flip to horror duels, a nice range and a meh melee is not so bad. Also there stats ant terrible with armor, they can pair nicely with Lucius. The only issue is that they have no (0) actions and that there are better choices for schemes runners. Still they go well with Dashel if you are wiling to move him up instead of using him for your rifle men.
