Could be “Environmental Science”.

For what it's worth, Lynch was over in the Neverborn book co-starring in a story explaining why he's not dual-faction anymore. I agree not to set expectations too high, but with "only" six Masters for the book to try and cram into stories I think we'll get a good sample of the major personalities. Euripides was only there for a few pages in Neverborn but you still got a good taste of his characterization.

I think the most valuable insight would be into the schemes, strategies, and matchups the list had to play into and how it overcame them. A list in a vacuum really doesn't say that much, so the deeper look into how you piloted the models and their synergies to victory would be greatly beneficial.

As noted, English Ivan and his crew are recurring characters in the wider fiction. For those not familiar with him, here's the Breachside Broadcast ep of their debut, as originally posted in our Gencon thread by Jesy Blue: It's one of my favorite stories from 1e, so I think it is certainly worth a read/listen if you're even vaguely curious.

I forgot all about them, thanks.

The infamous Condor Rails finally throws its lot into the fray.

Our new pal.

I kind of enjoy them for being so bizarre/unique, but they're certainly a polarizing sculpt.

I think it's wisest that Ressers simply concede when they're unfortunate enough to draw an Arcanists opponent. We're the best.

Yep. Versus Ressers I will consider the Soulstone Cache upgrade. That spider becomes a hefty 8ss investment but it can really start snowballing if you don't out-maneuver it. It now gets to use Soulstones defensively or to Onslaught at will, and Recharge Soulstone only requires an enemy model (rather than a Living one) die to recoup the expense. It pairs really well with the Mecharachnid's Creative Salvage ability, which causes enemy models it kills to also drop a scrap marker, and its free action Temporary Limb that gives it a + to its duels in exchange for eating a scheme or scrap marker. It's hardly the end-all be-all, but it can even cut clean through Transmortis models if you approach it carelessly.

I think the Mecharachnid is a (Versatile!) Minion that Ressers should be particularly wary of, as Precise ignores Hard to Wound and Hard to Kill and it has an Onslaught trigger.

Might as well point it out. There’s Kade and Candy.

The trick is to buy half the faction and then realize you only have to spend a bit more to have everything Sandeep wants.

Chimera, M&SU, Performer, and Wildfire. No, I’m not sure how I wound up with three Rattlers either.

Jaws of the Beast only procs for other Frontier models, so it can’t disable pesky negative flips for Cooper’s boomstick.

By all means. This is a good time for me to say that I don't see these threads as the skeletons of (presently four, potentially eight) tacticas. I have major doubts about my skill level, time, or even interest in stamping my face on the faction that way. It's just that as we wade through card previews and the faction's release draws near I saw value in organized, easy-to-jump-into threads for each of the Keywords for players new and old. So go ahead and post your batreps, playtesting, theoryfaux, or even just gush about how much you love the mechanics/aesthetics. These aren't my private fiefdoms, so go nuts. We're all braving uncharted territory here together.

My main hope is that the Versatiles from The Arcanists starter box are also keyworded DUA.

I updated the Basse thread as well. I like it. It’s kind of like a Soulstone Miner that bites people.

Not in app, but another new kid. Foreshadowed even!

That's fair. I've been waiting for signs of his new Core box but I'd like to give the old man a spin.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you were trying to say here. "Play faster"?

Positively delighted to see you spreading out to the rest of the forum, Plaag. Why do you rate Molly below those four? How do you feel about Yan Lo's often-cited weakness of having a slow startup that runs him afoul of time limited rounds?
