  1. I'd hesitate to gi that way. Relying on summoning an Executioner when your ganeplan relies on one seems a bug risk. From memory you need a red joker, and even with the Judge's card cycling you're not guaranteed one.

    Note haven't played the crew yet, this is just me thinking out loud.

    45 points does seems like a lot though, however given you're only going to get five or six summons off in a game id be trying to keep Dashel alive, that might be all you need to make sure you have the suits to summon. Plus theres the looting mechanic to get a gew more.

    Ok, i think I've  talked myself out of my crew build issue now ;)

  2. Quick question - the guard which replaces a MG when they die. Does this count towards the Guard limits on the table? Oe, if a MG dies but there are already 4 guard patrols on the table, is the new guard patrol just lost?

  3. I played my first game of the current rules last week. My model collection from m2e were the Lady J and Sonnia crew boxes, with extras and a smattering of what are now Guard models. Due to the key word hiring mechanics now I decided Sonnia offered a better choice for my available models.

    So, with this in mind my cre were:

    Sonnia

    Purifying Flame

    Sameal Hopkins

    Wichling Handler

    2 x Thralls

    3 x Stalkers

    8 SS cache

     

    I faced a Nellie crew with the Printing Press, Phiona, Alison, The Emissary, an Executioner, and a Field Reporter. One had an LLC (can’t remember who) and she had 4 SS left.

    I thought this crew wa pretty solid. A wide number of Wicthlings to throw into combat and be able to ignore when shooting into combat with No Love for Witchlings was very handy, and they managed to hold up my opponent’s beaters so I could get burning on and start using Scorch Soul.

    Also, of the two I thought the Thrall was much more frightening than the Executioner.

    My biggest mistake was to think the Thralls still had the ability to hook and pull an enemy into combat. Although in my defence, had that still been in game Nellie would have been toast.

    I’d run this list again, but I think I need to make a bit more room for earlier summoning for when facing a more numerous opponent. I might play with dropping a Stalker and Thrall for a Sanctioned spell caster for some more burning and an Effigy with the Emissary upgrade for later game punch.

    Lj or perdita (finger on the trigger plus forced charge actions).  Sometimes just phi, if I'm feeling crazy.

    Grimwell if I want speed.

     

    I'm still in the M2E mindset. It never occured to me to consider other masters.

    To save on points, take the Brutal Effigy with his upgrade. Turn three he turns into the Emissary. No soul stone tax for that either. 

    Interesting, but I'm  thinking this would just put a very large target over the Effigys head. Have you found it hard to keep it alive until t3?

    Stewie seems to have stuck as the nickname.

    Ah, right, thank you. He does sound very useful. Does he have a model currently?
