Davos

I find Von Schill does a decent job against him. You have huge threat range with VS and Strongarm Suit to charge in and murder him . And their high Willpower makes it easier to defend against his Posion stuff. Likewise, having the steam trunk can remove the posion. And Ashes and Dust is immune and hits like a truck that is on steroids.

I've done the double built rams thing for Specialist. Its a nice, cute little move, but only really works if you've ALSO comboed it with Priority Target. Ie. you need to have oathkeepr and have hit the target with von schiil to grant Priority Target. It works, but takes a ton of effect to engineer. It's cute, but i don't think its competitive. Yet. Needs some more refinement but has potential

Sue and Strongarm Suit are musts. Sue is, in my opinion, one of the all around best utility models in the game. Paired with Return Fire and supported with a librarian (which you'll be brining all the time) he's a god at killing. Strongarm is a heavy beater who won't die, who has a strong Sh against WP, which throws people off, along with VS's augmented jump lets him bounce around and murder (especially when you add in Bigger They Are +1 dmg against models with upgrades). I think Midnigt Stalker (new Wave 5) could be viable, though i haven't play him yet. The new upgrades are super fun, and seem highly useful.

The clever move with Von Schill and his new stuff, is to charge model A, hitting it, and then throwing it like a rag doll. Then you shoot it, and hit the reposition on his Clockwork Seeker, pushing him into range of model B, who you hit , throw, shoot, etc. Repeat entire process until the field is soaked in your opponent's blood.

I also really like running lists similar to these: Hannah + I Pay Better (2ss) freikrop librarian (7ss) 1 friekorpsmann (5ss) 1 trapper (6ss) or Rusty Aylice OR Hannah + I pay better Strongarm Suit (10ss) Johan (6ss) or trapper (6ss) abomination or void wretch

I think it's a fine list, though somewhat lacking in range. If possible, I'd switch out johan for something like a frikorpsmann or two, which are decent range or melee. But that's not a hard change. i would highly recommend putting return fire on Sue though. It's a Df/Wp trigger that lets him take a Sh action whenever someone hits him. His gun is both range and melee which makes him a monster if anyone tries to hit him. And his gun hits like a bloody truck

She still hits like a truck, and the extra CA is great. I run Levi and Von Schill, so I don't know how she plays in Daw, but I find her a great utility model. The extra card is wonderul and you can get a 3rd Librarian heal from her. AND with I Pay Better, you have a nice focus engine and a good way to deal out blast damage.

This phrase makes me happy.

Levi with a belle or 2 can pull a single target close and then you beatstick onto it. Levi also provides natural activation control, and actually has almost all his models can interact with markers, whereas Hamlins's peons can't. Having pushes is always nice, as well as large engagement areas to deny your opponent picking up heads. Also, as much as killing models early is really good for activation control, you need to wait until you can either pick up heads or deny them. Or gun down the far off scheme runners, not stuff thats clustered in the center

Can Hannah give out paralyze through take your meds? Her "Make a New Entry" Cannot declare triggers, so its my understanding she could not be able to give out paralyze (or any of the other conditions) from "Take Your Meds", because they all relay on triggers.

Hannah is not a Construct, fyi. Though the nether flux is really nice, its saved me more times than I can count against other masters/models. I've never faced Daw but I'd imagine its useful to strip all of his builtin, cause in looking at his card, his attacks really aren'tgood without the triggers/suits.

You don't. He seems like a really cool model, cause let's be real, flamethrowers are kickass, but as a utility piece, he's not worth it. Df 4 makes him absurdly easy to put down and Wk 4 means he's to slow to keep up with the fight. Outcasts don't have efficient pushes so at a certain point he's just an 8SS model doing nothing. You can fix that by giving him Scramble, but then his a 10SS Df 4 that will die right away. His attack is cool, but doesn't do enough dmg to truly be work it - compare him to Sue and Sue's dmg and utility is much better. His removal of scrape and (potentially) scheme markers is good but its hard to actually make it work. I think hiring him in a TT crew that has lots of free pushes/focuses could work, but within Outcast no. His ability to remove slow/para is good, but I've never found a use for it. I suppose you combo it with a nurse to get a free full heal and then remove the paralyze, but I'd rather use the 8SS on something else. I wish he was a playable model. I love the Freikorps and Von Schill is my main master, but Specialist just isn't worth it. No matter how cool he is.

That's basically my thinking. Seems like a good utility piece at the very least. If facing something with low Willpower, see gets selected over Sue. That being said, Sue is still one of my favorite models.

In the comparison, I do like Sue more - he winds up in almost every list I play, but Vanessa seems cool. And the card manipulation seems handy, along with the obey. Thin I'll grab her, if only cause I have instore credit at the local, I'm sure I'll be able to find a use for her.

Hey y'all, I'm an Outcast player looking to expand my Levi Construct list. What are your thoughts on Scorpious in general, and would you think it would work within a Levi crew?

I'm building my Levi Construct list and am wondering if Vanessa is worth picking up. I have no real interest in the Viks as a whole, but her construct synergy seems interesting

Trappers are super easy and convenient, since they should be far enough back that they can be defended easily. I really like a librarian, since the heals are nice in general and can hold their own against standard models. I also really like either A&D or Strongarm Suit, since either one works well forward in an aggressive zone, and you can do all kinds of fun things with A&D+Levi. Johan is also a decent pick, cause a 6SS hard to kill, relic hammer is crazy efficient

The Mobile Toolkit won't work on A&D. It counts as a condition when whatever the buff is granted, and A&D is immune.

Seems cool. I don't think Lazarus is that good though. I prefer Strongarm Suit over him in a heartbeat - I'm a big Von Schill player (my first master).

What is the mobile toolkit? I remember the name, just not the model. Arcanist right?

Mech Rider is the top of my buy list. I *should* have Joss on his way - got the alt-sculpt from the Guilder Store, just hasn't arrived yet. Been like 2 something weeks now.

Hey y'all, I'm trying to train up my Levi game and am wondering which constructs you recommend taking? I feel that Pariah of Iron is stronger and want to try some construct synergy lists. As far as out of faction constructs, I have Necropunks, and then Hoffman's box set (got it for free and Hunter seems good). What others do y'all recommend? I already have A&D. Cheers!

Hey fellow Outcasters. Hoping you can provide some advice. I've been looking at the Emissary and think it could be a strong addition for my masters (Von Schill and Levi). That being said, in my Von Schill lists I'm already very starved for stones, so. What does your list for Von Schill, running Emissary, look like? Then, I think the synergy with Levi could be really interesting, since Levi runs a lot of hired out of faction minions, the generic Emissary upgrade works well. Then, I think giving Ashes & Dust the trinket that grants him Don't Mind Me makes Dig your Graves a Joke to complete. What other models would you run in a Levi/A&D/Emissary list? Cheers

Hello all! I'm seeking some help understanding how Stitched Together function. A friend of mine uses them with Collodi constantly (I'm an Outcast player) and tells me how he gets 4 uninteruptered attacks with it in a row, or multiple double focused attacks in a row (as in ++ flips per attack). He hasn't dropped them against me (he moved), but I'm confused on how all this is possible. I'm aware of some of the combos, Collodi/Vasillista Strum, Stiched's Reactive, etc, but not how the entire thing works. Would anyone be able to explain? I keep hearing how he slaughtered masters turn 1 (McCabe & Asami being the most recent) off a 6AP attack run and I don't want to fall victim to this. Thanks.

I'm not a fan of Lazarus. I think at 10ss cost I think you're much better off running Hannah or Strongarm Suit. Hannah is a great melee beater, can copy CA actions, and provides an extra card in hand. Strongarm has an equally strong melee (better actually in my opinion) and a equally strong SH, trading out blasts to be able to target Willpower, which is a great way to slip in damage under the radar on your opponent. Also, his zero actions can increase his melee dmg OR and this is where I think he becomes truely better, bring his SH to a bleeding 7 value (again, against Willpower). Lastly, augmented jump lets him tear around the field and murder things, all while he's hiding behind the same Armor +2
