Hi guys.
After a few months of McCabe-ism, I finally finished painting the Lucius box and decided to play him in a tournament this weekend. I played two games with the tournament schemes this week to test-run him and he was really fun. I put together a list that seems ok, but am open to suggestions and tips. I listened to the Schemes & Stones podcast, but most of the models mentioned as awesome are not released yet, or always out of stock (i.e. The Jury, Monster Hunters).
So, my list was:
Lucius with Deep Pockets, Surprisingly Loyal and Legalese
The Scribe
Captain Dashel with Arrest Him
Executioner with Ready to Work
Witchling Thrall
Guild Lawyer
Guild Austringer
Terracotta Warrior
I noticed that, compared to McCabe-like lists, this one lacks speed (I got used to dogs running around and mounted guards and such). The S&S podcast list consists of Lucius, The Scribe, The Jury, 2 Witchling Thralls and flexible spots including 2 austringers, guild investigators, guardian, thallarian queller, doppelganger. Is it a good idea to try and mirror it to some extent (like 2 thralls and 2 austringers) or try and put in a few dogs or a hunter?
The schemes for the tournament are:
Round 1. (50 SS game) Guard the Stash Standard deployment
accusation, claim jump, frame for murder, recover evidence, last stand
Round 2. (50 SS game) Reckoning Corner deployment
accusation, dig their graves, search the ruins, hunting party, claim jump
Round 3. (50 SS game) Squatter's Rights Flank deployment
dig their graves, leave your mark, set up, inspection, claim jump.
any tips appreciated
