I would recommend Nellie over McCabe purely on due to Phiona and Reporters are darn handy models to have. That said McCabe is rather fun to play and though the other models in his box are not the best they are still fun to through on the table.

Graves with changelings provide amazing mobility, depending on the type of crew you are running this can set up activations for vp or picking off over extended targets.
This can work well with heavy hitters or a swarm of hounds (hounds with Lucius can be a beautiful thing).
If you want to lock out interactions tannen and doppelganger add to this and require the above set up plus useless duplications and maybe a lawyer, the loss of mimics blessing may affect this.
Candy not so much without wp reductions, terracotta warrior I still haven't mastered.
Sounds interesting I will look into it.

I have run lawyers with him with success but usually they just don't make the cut......my problem with most of the mimics is that I have to drop something "essential" to fit them in- if I am going to take a beater (Grave, Vogel) then I have to drop something like a Thrall to fit it in and don't think it is usually worth the trade-off. Additionally for a number of them (Graves, Tannen, Doppleganger) you lose the ability to Issue Command since they aren't minions.
Typically if I run mimics with him it's when I play Lucius as Neverborn and can't get Thralls and either Frank or Phiona. Usually I run one Henchman with him in Guild (Frank/Phiona/Allison Dade) and everything else is Minions so I have maximum flexibility in how/where I use Issue Command and I try to build the synergy between choices. When I look at the options available by taking mimics form other factions some of them might look good in isolation compared to some of our choices but when I look at the overall interaction in the crew and things like the ability of the Thralls to auto-pass horror duels (Commanding Presence), get an extra attack when a marker is dropped near them (which can be a by product of What Lackeys Are For or Phiona w/Transparency , which in turn also lets the Investigator do her thing and gives a push and a card I just don't see the trade-off being worth it.
About the only exception is the Doppleganger. The ability to control initiative can be priceless. When I take her then I am apt to try to fit in the Terracotta as well to protect the Thralls, switch out Surprisingly Loyal for another upgrade (Secret Objectives early and then Legalese later) but generally I just stay Guild pure if I m running him as Guild.
Well I was not thinking tournament lists but something you drop on the table on a game night to mess with people. Though it is hard to disagree with everything you said. I am however going to look into that Terracotta/Thralls combination (why not give people another reason to hate me LoL).

Mr Graves and Mr Tannen are a fun pair.
See that the sort of reason why I asked this question, I will look into these.
17 hours ago, 4thstringer said:Must have? None. But if I had to rank them for him...
1. TC warrior- protect that thrall, switch off surprisingly loyal for something useful.
2. Beckoner- lures are good, kiting lures are better.
3. Changelings- lots of weird jank possible with these guys
4.Graves-that push is really nice and there's not a better mimic beater to get Lucius's plus flips. Likes being protected by a TC warrior.
5. Tannen- interesting control model, the third floor wars post on it said it better than I can.
6. Doppel- I know she does a lot, but I find her to eat cards badly, and Lucius needs his cards.
7. Vogel- another interesting piece. If he stayed a mimic when he switched off id be more interested. Don't bother without jury. Durable against bad opponents.
8. Candy- I've never made her work for Lucius.
Cheers, though you have made me want to get my hands on a model for Candy now (no one would ever expect her to turn up in a guild list).

So I have been playing a bit of Lucius in Guild and throw it would be nice to through in a couple of out of faction Mimic’s into the lists just for fun (ok maybe that’s a bit of a lie, probably looking more for models that look cool).
Obviously you have the Doppelganger but I am rather underwhelmed with the model (any cool ideas on how to kit bash this would be appreciated) so what other things go well with the masked man.

My April is rather busy so I have not got a clue if I can get to this one, but I know a number of our guys are looking forward to this event coming up.

I will assemble the minions tomorrow evening and get the tickets booked, looking like we have Mat, Perry, Phil, Luke & myself. Hopefully we will also get Stu, Jon & James to drop down for this.

Think we still have 3 places left (would have to check with Trev).
Sounds about right without checking.

You can put me down as a reserve in the event of having an odd number, other than that I am happy to help out.

We have been playing it as in the second instance as doing this the other way is far to easy but I am happy to play this either way so maybe for the moment TO & Gaming Groups will need to make the call and ensure everyone playing knows how this is being scored.

Luke and myself will be booking tickets tomorrow.
