the alpha strike is actually less powerful

That's not the main issue, the ranges on abilities in 2e are already so ludicrous that it hardly even matters where you put your models. a 12" threat range on a 36" table for instance is insane.

increased threat ranges and more mobility options

This is not a good idea. 

Having listened to the Max Value podcast I am a little concerned with a claim of their's about M3E, namely that the ranges and movement of models is potentially going to be increased. I find this concerning because this game is already outrageous with its threat ranges with many abilities capable of reaching the enemy on turn 1 in standard deployment already, if anything there should be a greater emphasis on positioning in the 3rd edition.

Latest brew time!

 

50 SS Outcasts Crew
Parker Barrows + 4 Pool
 - Black Market (1)
 - Stick Up (1)
 - Oath Keeper (1)
Doc Mitchell (3)
Hannah (10)
Anna Lovelace (10)
 - I Pay Better (1)
Hodgepodge Emissary (10)
 - Conflux of Stolen Goods (0)
Freikorps Engineer (6)
Obedient Wretch (4)
Desperate Mercenary (3)

 (exported from CrewFaux)

 

it’s very stable and versatile, lots of incidental card draw, decent activation control with Wretch and Anna summons. 

Both sisters have Armor+2 from Engineer and Hannah copy, which brings your number of tanky models up to 3. 

I also see a decent exchange Wretch>Desperate Merc for scramble on Hannah if you need to do something in the enemy deployment zone. 

what is this crew's plan against yasunori/nekima beats lists?

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

4 radius plus Ama's mini is almost 10" diameter, it feels to me like a large portion of the board. 

I have not played with/against her anyway, and while I'm not totally sold with her, seems to me like that kind of mini wich many struggles with while others triumph. 

4 covers 3.8% of the board. Thats not terrible but its not massive. 
4 radius is 8" diameter, you don't get to add your melee range to the bubble, let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

If that something is taking symbols left and right, or placing claim markers, or making a large portion of the board severe, or engages shooters, or hits low Df models with a 3/5/7 track. 

4 isn't "a large portion of the board". 
Paying 9ss for a scheme runner who is only effective against low DF models sounds awful. I will grant that trying to kill Zako is an exercise in futility, if only because its not worth the AP to kill.

she can tank

So can a freikormann, esp consider reference the field guide can auto give him the duck and weave trigger. What incentive does anyone have to just lock it down with anything defense 5 or greater? 
You can tank all you want, but that doesn't mean you are going to be targeted. She has the same problem the Whiskey Golem used to have, only that at least the Golem has a melee 6 attack.

Ama no Zako with Scramble is amazing in Parker.

Ama no Zako
Parker
this is definitely a thread about our worst models. 

I'd rather have 2 freikorpsmenn than a Lazarus.

Never been more unimpressed with a giant robot in my life, then again I think you need to be playing pariah of iron to make him shine in outcast unless someone has a dope talos + lazarus list out there. 

Edit: here I made a list

We're going to bomb Lazarus in.

Declared Faction: Outcasts 
Crew Name: Dope Talos Lazerus 50ss 
Leader: Tara - Cache:(4)
   Emptiness 0ss 
   Knowledge of Eternity 2ss 
   Obliteration Symbiote 2ss 
Malifaux Child 2ss 
Rusty Alyce 10ss 
Lazarus 10ss 
Talos 8ss 
Void Wretch 4ss 
Void Wretch 4ss 
Void Wretch 4ss 
Void Wretch 4ss 
 

This is really gimmicky but fun.

Declared Faction: Outcasts 
Crew Name: The Lazer-us Option 50ss 
Leader: Von Schill - Cache:(1)
   Engage At Will 1ss 
   Nythera Aftermath 1ss 
   Oath of the Freikorps 1ss 
Steam Trunk 3ss 
Rusty Alyce 10ss 
   I Pay Better 1ss 
Lazarus 10ss 
Desperate Mercenary 3ss 
Desperate Mercenary 3ss 
Freikorps Trapper 7ss 
Freikorps Trapper 7ss 
 

Let's say I soul tether my master turn 1 and then it gets BTFO by a couple of snipers or something. Does my Webster being dead prevent the condition from saving my Master's life? As I see it the condition is held by the master and lasts until Webster's next activation, which is never going to come back around due to her being dead and all.

Guild is no longer an oppressive facist government

This, we lost the one truly good faction. 

Seems cool, I'd paint the models differently myself though. Really digging the Old Major and Ulix alts.

Necropunks

Are there any other models that would be good to pick up over time?

At the moment the only non-outcast undead and constructs I have are: A guardian, a watcher and a hunter. I can't imagine the upgrade being worth it to take one or more of these guys so I guess the question is how much of Levi's power comes from his huge hiring pool? I'm sure I could throw together some combination of freikorps, void and merc good stuff together. I'm just not sure if its worth it without the out of faction models. If it is I'll probably finish building and priming this week if not it will go on the back burner.

Congratulations Wyrd, that Nico nerf cost you my business going forward, at least where Malifaux is concerned. Ridiculously overdone, and since Ressers were the only faction I felt inclined to expand on and you just gutted my only Resser Master (I play Tara as Outcast).... I'm voting no-confidence with my wallet.

 

Doesn't do wonders for my faith in TOS, either.

lol 

I personally like Void Wretches in pretty much every list.

Just returned to the game after a 7 month hiatus. Tad bit lost with GG2018 and was hoping for a competitive list which work with the new objectives. Anyone with any clues? 

The errata pushed up the cost of ashes by quite a bit. Tried an abomination list but that failed too. Help!

What kind of lists were you using in 2017?

I get that, just not my play style. I'd prefer to simply hit a model with Binge 95% of the time instead.

what does your upgrade load out usually look like?

Looking at Brewmaster and its penchant for eating cards out of hand has anyone tried using Yamaziko as one of the list's beaters for Master Tactician or any of her other abilities?

How often do you find yourself bringing ancient tomes with Hannah? Seems pretty powerful but her kit seems like it would be just fine without it and it costs 2ss, which especially in Von Schill, is 2ss that really could be used other places.

For example the (0) vortex was like an 3rd attack when Von Schill was nearby (for the Nythera Aftermath's trigger) 

I can't wait to try this for myself.

From what I see Parker has to jump through a lot of hoops to get the effects that are on his card and the payoff is not worth the investment in AP. Also its pretty clear these tricks are the way hes intended to be played because his offensive stats aren't going to win games on their own unlike Levi or Viks.

Why does she have a crow built into her "Come Play at My Table" ability?

Am I missing something or does it just not do anything at all?
