Derpology

Hey all, 

Haven't been able to game in some time due to work but hoping the next month will alleviate this a bit. I've really been looking forward to the BackDraft encounter box. Has anyone had any luck with Kaeris and the Medibots or the Steam Fitters with Kaeris on the table ? I heard some mixed reviews about her new upgrades ( I haven't played since just before Broken Promises landed 😢 ..) Anyway.. I've always had fun playing her. Out of 5 masters,  3 Arcanists and 2 Outcast she's always been top 2 for fun. 

Sooooo.......Not to "that" person, but..... Was this still slotted for an April release ? Anyone heard anything ?

I got in a game vs Lady J last week, but I think it's a bit moot due to about 30 pts of my crew getting boxed each turn.  Swoop feels really good for a turn 1 free 3 cards with Truth in Flame, and guaranteeing you can give an enemy model Burning really helps Immolate out since you don't need to Flaming Halo or rely on Flare for its 's anymore.  Didn't get to use the trigger but I think it'll be most important in Purifying Fire crews as it basically means she's simultaneously doing delayed damage to the enemy and pulsing out a delayed heal to nearby friendlies.  Heat Wave did put a bunch of Burning on Lady J and Francisco with the Aura which was nice, and Kaeris got Heatstroke +2 on Lady J, but with Francisco there she was still Wp 7 so I don't feel like I got a real test of its power there (and probably should have scalpeled Francisco out first anyway).

Very cool, I'm looking forward taking Carlos and a few Union Miners to burn stuff up, maybe Firestarter as well. 

Has anyone been using the new upgrades with Kaeris? I've been mulling over some scenarios in my head and seems like there's some fun to be had. 

So, the orders are in and I hate to be that "guy" but does anyone remember the shipping/ receiving logistics post GenCon from last year? 

I've had some good utility with them. Inspection is great and they've done me well with both Kaeris and Mei Feng. I like having them in the bag for the opportune Scheme and Strat combos. 

Hey all,  apologies if this is a repeat thread but I had one question about Hank and his flurry.  If he removes his focused condition and declares, his "action"  to be flurry,  does he gain the positive on the first duel only or all three??!! 

I was thinking about running Joss with Mei..... Add regenate to the Rail workers along with the defense buffs from the tome trigger and  you have a serious headache waiting for someone when you take bleeding edge tech.. *add the Rail Golem and you can March across the board with mediocre hands... 

Agreed,  I started with Ramos and had a great time playing with the crew. I ended up picking up the Tara crew to gain some perspective on some of the other available triggers and abilities out there and have had fun playing with her too. But yesterday I bought the Rail Crew and I have been plotting crew builds with models I've picked up prior since.... There's a lot of fun and synergy to be had with these crews and I can't wait to field them in some scraps.. 

Any more tournaments coming up? 

A solid shuffle in tactics is take the Rail Golem with a few metal gaming in tow for the df bonus as well as using their magnetism to expedite the blowing up of the electric creations too.  A lot of fun combos with the MS&U.
