Stand and Shoot can't be taken into the equation. In 40+ games with VS, I've never once taken that ability. In order to get value out of it, you need at least 3 targets, all of which can't be in cover, or else you're on minus flips. So you'd have to spend stones or you're going to miss.
-
I think Anna might now have a place in a Schill crew. With her anti- enemy place/push aura, she protects a lot of your squishier models, and her forced push duels can proc VS's ability as well. I'm still working out the list exactly but I'm optimistic
-
Same. I've been working on some different lists, but haven't found anything that really "works" yet
-
Agreed. I personally find Nythera Aftermath more useful, but Oath of theFreikorps can be good for more cheesy effect. I think its a choice of one or the other. My games were I bring both are generally the ones I do worse with. GG18 seems like its moving away from the need of 10+ models, so the more elite crews, like VS's could be more viable.
-
Von Schill does have a pretty strong starting box, compared to a lot of the other ones. He starts getting out classed once more competitive lists/models get brought onto the table. I for one absolutely love him, he was my first master, I just can't find a list with him that wins with anything near consistency. His main problem as you get deeper into the game is the Freikorp models are so costly, you only begin play with 7ish models, which is brutal under GG17, where summoners and spam lists are king. I'm optimistic under GG18 I'll be able to return to my roots with the more elite crews.

That always is a fun one. "Oh, that weak, easy kill you were gonna get for VP? MINE!". "Oh, and I just killed 2 of your models and summoned a new models as well. Cheers!"

Freikorpsmann have potential I think, just cause they can (sometimes) do respectable damage do to reference the field guide and the engineers bonus ram, which brings them up to like min 4 or something. I like their 12in gun and unimpeded. Specialist, however, is not worth the cost or effort to try and make him useful. He seems like a one trick pony at best. I'm hoping he gets buffed in the Jan. errata. I had a whole big discussion post on here about potential ways to change him, with tons of good ideas.

A&N is a great target, since you'll get all the extra activations, plus summoning aboms for card draw, AND murdering everything between him and Levi. Its a fun (its brutal) combo to do.
-
That does work, though somewhat of a card sink. I've never actually used her Bury ability, since it costs 2ss, which is crazy expensive for my Von Schill crew I run her in,
-
In certain cases its worth it to do the jump and sac. It's 10 inches (a little more technically since you place in base contact on the far side) free, which then hopefully is giving you t least 2 good quality attacks. If you burn oathkeeper, you're fast, so you get a free focus (from channel), then focus 2nd AP, so you get 2 shots with focus, then a 4th just normal shot, at Sh 7 v Wp. If you can kill something, or better yet kill +summon its worth it. Not many people are mentally able to handle losing a model or 2 and having their opponent summon a model or two on turn 1, from a single activation. If you have the cards and they extend small to medium sized stuff, its worth it. Sure, dropping the waif hurts, but the tempo swing is huge. I did it against a Zorida crew, killed 2 things and gained to 2 aboms, so I netted 4 on activation control. Levi took some damage but still survived. The key is you go last with Levi when he's gonna jump, so next turn they HAVE to kill him with a single activation or he'll go, kill more shit, then bury

Void Tara is all about scheming and denial (in the sense that her stuff *should* be very difficult to kill) I've played a game or two with the void spam list, borrowed it from a friend and played against it once. It seems cool, though it certainly is a different style of gameplay.
-
I'm pretty sure waifs are both undead and constructs, since they can be used for either part of Levi's other (0) action, which lets him either sac and draw 2 cards or jump to a model, depending on its undead or construct characteristic. So fearing Johan is legit. Also, he's still a min 3 beater, thats 75% of a waifs wounds, which is still pretty scary
-
So i recently played a game, my Levi vs. NB Zorida. My opponent was able to Hem my Peacekeeper, then attacked his own Vodu Doll. Is the damage the Peacekeeper receiving reduced by armor? Then, later in the same turn, I sent Levi in on a hyper aggressive line of play to kill both his Doll and a Will o Wisp. On the attack to the Doll, the damage is also done to the Peacekeeper. However, Levi's gun ignores Armor, so if Armor is still applied to damage from the Hemmed condition, would it still effect Levi's attack, since the attack originally causing the damage ignores Armor>
-
I've seen it once or twice and it seems very strong. Though I agree, it does create an unfun environment for your opponent, unless the accidentally countered it. The time I played agasint it I had Levi and he murdered the entire crew. I currently have Levi and Von Schill, and all the usual suspects for both
-
Johan is an all around good strong reliable model. He’s slow but can hit like a truck. He provides a sturdy, Hard to Kill model for Levi’d Anchors. Sue is just a general beater-support piece. He can murder things, make enemy Ca be on negatives, and draw a card a turn

What last blossom models are there to use?
-
I've started looked at another Outcast master to buy and have my eye on either Void Spam Tara or Misaki. I'm already familiar with the Void Spam lists, so my question is is Outcast Misaki viable and if so, what do you bring with her?
-
Well said. I should have mentioned that. The number of times I’ve had to stop an opponent from trying that is shockingly high. And then they try to argue they can. And it’s just “look at the wording”. Ive also been told I just play the model wrong (that they can do that) which is funny cause again “look at the wording” and secondly cause I learned to play malifaux with Von Schill, so I’m *fairly* well versed in what/how friekorps models work

Lazarus can assimilate any Construct, so A&D is crazy. Additionally, since you can Levi + Iron, you can basically bring Lazarus with any construct in the game and copy their attacks. That being said, I still find Lazarus not worth the stones, compared to any number of beaters you can take, in my opinion. As for the not healing, Outcast has a ton of healing able. Now, that is primarily focused in the Steam Trunk, which Levi can't take, but the librarian is an all around solid model, a respectable 1/2/3 heal, and pretty strong CA attack, with an option to Furious Cast (her version of Flurry). She also acts as a strong, survivalbe anchor for Levi
-
So I could give Peacekeeper Armor 3, just to be a terrible person? Sadly, you can't give him the built in ram though, since he isn't outcast?
-
Can the engineer give armor to the statue? cause i thoght it can only give armor to stuff thats armor +1, not armor +2 (or is it already armor +1, i can't remember)
-
I'll take it! I've only used her twince, she seems pretty nice. great anti-push tech
-
I can see the Obsidian Statute being good with both Levi and Anna. Since Anna doesn't randomize, her CA becomes really strong, CA 7, dmg 3/4/5 i think (i haven't played her much) and with Levi being CA 3/4/5 ignoring EVERYTHING seems strong. Though I haven't gotten to try it yet. My levi lists of late have been basically static. Gonna have to start playing around with some of the new stuff. As an aside on the new stuff, the engineer is rather fun. Dropping a marker next to it right away and farming cards is nice. And giving out the extra ram is pretty nice, though limited to the armor +1, or construct, makes it somewhat hard to utilize. I mostly find tossing the ram/armor onto a trapper for a nice turn one, min 3, max 6 kill shot is nice, or onto Von Schill to go rekt some folk (though he should be min 3 to start, since he's a MASTER and a master with min 2 is kinda crap. In my opinion, he should have a built in ram at all times)
-
Correct. He'd only be able to shoot if he is unengaged.
