Impact UK

The wife and myself we be down for a game.

Nice idea, deployment can add to the viability of a scheme or strategy also for a master/keyword.

Plant Explosives & Corrupt Idols seem to be missing some masters, example in Dashel's keyword you have Mounted Guard that brings Ride With Me and Sergeant that has A New Horizon these can make many of the scheme's in these strategy's rather easy to both achieve and interrupt your opponent.

Do it with Mounted Guard.  Let them die and be replaced with Guard Patrols, then replace the Guard Patrols with Death Marshals and laugh while your opponent starts swearing at you.

 

They still won't be good, but at least they'd be amusing!

Now pulling this off in a game could be tough but it would be worth the reaction from your opponent.

Hoffman seems to brutally counter Sonnia. Not sure if there are other crews whose survival depends on not getting slammed in the face with 100 tons of steel, but Sonnia is the postergirl for the style.

Seriously, she isn't great at dealing with fast moving, hard hitting melee models, especially if she doesn't bring LLC.

Though it may well be debatable whether Criid is a hard counter to Hoffman, her crew are rather good at keeping melee monsters at bay.  The Purifying Flame and his follow Witchling’s tend to lead the charge setting the table on fire.  So models end up wasting AP to kill these and what do they get for that effort more burning, this also reduces the range of actions.

Keeping in mind you need cards to ditch to declare triggers against Criid and you will most likely be running in with a good stack of burning, unless you are going to use even more AP to remove it.  This will tend to result in the burning model ending up being a Witchling.

Booked my place today Phil.

Cheers for some great ideas, that lead me to find this model from TTCombat.

So I was thinking of dusting off Lucius and was looking for inspiration for a good proxy for his new Henchman?

I’ve only used an Orderly a couple of times and they are OK for adding that bit of healing if you have another model that can move them around the table.

I've always heard this list called Alpha Team Strike during the beta, and it was fairly popular! Generally, iirc:

Lady Justice (Leader) (Lead Lined Coat (2ss))

Scales of Justice (0)

Sonnia Criid (16ss)

Purifying Flame (3ss)

Perdita Ortega (16ss)

((And then it's matchup dependent but usually I see against anything but summoners and neverborn The Pale Rider (10ss) with a 3ss cache and against those I've often seen one Death Marshal (5ss) with an 8ss cache.))

Just for fun I'm going to have to try this list out and see if I can actually score any VP.

Most of the time the assembly diagrams do not help all that much TBH, any chance you can post a photo of the sprue.

Well that answers that question, cheers for all the input.

The Pale Rider is one of those models I never got around to in M2E, so how is our horseman holding up in M3E?

Yea M2E one made it into just about every list, that trigger to do no damage but force a card out of my opponents had was well hated by my opponents.  In M3E I'm not convinced they are worth taking out of keyword at 8ss.

On the topic of the new box, anyone got any photos of the crew still on the sprue?

Funnily enough if you listen to the latest Breachside Broadcast (ep 111) it will answer some of your questions, though it is probably better to start at ep 110 so you have a better idea of what is going on.

And now we find the truth of why Lady Justice no longer has Ml7.

Mystery solved.

I gave all my mercenaries to the newcomers. for coming to the tournament.

A rather good idea.

I sort of snubbed Mercenaries in M2E, but if you cannot find a use for them I would consider selling or trading them for something you can use.

Over all I like the new sculpts though they did not quite get the pose right for Lady J, now if she was meant to be an untrained thug wielding a sword then yes they nailed it on the head.  Alas Lady J is supposed to be highly skilled at sword play and this is just not represented in the current pose, its biggest issue is the hand grip, you cannot make an effective sword cut like that even if you were to step through with it.  You also have her leaning back slightly to wield the sword as if it’s a little too heavy, but that’s just the martial artist in me being picky.

Even with those gripes I will be still buying the crew box (it is only a game after all).

So just to clarify: Her cost is 0 only when hiring.

Otherwise, it is 15.

That is correct. 

I've found shockwave's make a good workaround and a good way to drain some of your opponents cards.

Though option A maybe the better option, I'm rather addicted to Papa Loco throwing sticks of dynamite all over the place...

Sign me up Phil.

They should have given her a hidden or light pistol like the Mech Attendant and Dade. Francisco has a melee of 7. It's crazy LJ doesn't. 

Well we are still in beta so this is maybe something that needs addressing, at this point I would suggest playing Lady J against as many different setups as possible so you can give detailed feedback.  As for Francisco's melee stat, it is possible that this is an oversight and should be set lower and could well change in the coming weeks.

Admittedly I am to busy to get any games in of M3e at the moment, squeezed in 3 turns of a game last Sunday and that has been about it.

I was all set to resubmit my issue this morning but Kimberly beat me to it with a response, apologising for the delay in response and addressing the issues raised.

Our Wyrd Henchman was just telling me yesterday how Kimberly was sorting out a good many issues that have been left unattended, so it would seem that Wyrd are tuning a corner with a bunch of competent staff at the top.  This has revived my confidence in the company and I am looking forward to what is coming next.
