This is a great idea!

 

You missed probably one of the best models for condition removal in the game... JOHAN! 

 

He also has added benefits when working with M&SU so he's a great fit within the faction.

Friekorps Specialist removes a lot of Markers as well.

Friekorps Specialist removes a lot of Markers as well.

 

As does Cojo with his (0) Mark Territory which is an awesome action, well it's specifically Scheme Markers but it still rocks!

[Sholto]

I started this a while ago for my own purposes, so it was only using the Wave 2 cards. There will be quite a lot of Wave 1 that can be added, I expect.

[LunarSol]

It's an excellent resource regardless.  It might be helpful to yank out all the stuff that relies on Mercenaries though, as a Merc answers list is just generally useful.  Then the main list could simply include "see Mercenaries" where necessary.

[Durza]

Joss also ignores defense triggers, hard to wound and hard to kill on his Arc Axe.

[dgraz]

Awesome.

[rythos42]

This is a sweet, sweet list!

 

You may call it redundant since she's listed 1 line above, but I find Mei (in my local) to be helpful using Vent Steam to Disrupt Casters, as opposed to Providing Cover. However, both are wickedly useful.

[Bengt]

Mei Feng can remove markers with the trigger from the Thunderous Smash upgrade.

[Sybarite]

Yeah Mei is awesome at marker removal

[brdparker]

Beasts do things too!

Like the raptors, which could be considered anti-ranged in that they engage an enemy sniper end of first turn. Second on Cojo with the scheme marker removal. Many of the rest of the anti-X beasts are outside of faction though

Also, the Captain is great for movement tricks and granting cover.

[Durza]

How about adding in an ignore hard to wound/ flip to damage, theres Joss' Arc Axe, and the mobile toolkit can add   to construct damage.
