Tweak Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 So I'm just starting out with outcasts and I'm looking for what models in the outcast faction make the strongest choices for objective runners. I know that Leveticus can hire outside of faction and get access to necropunks, crooligans, and such but I'm curious what options inside of outcast faction or mercs we can hire without relying on master specific connections do we have access to? Any advice is appreciated as I'm just starting out in in the game and in the faction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalkris Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 First off, welcome to Malifaux! Second, and most relevant to your post, I would invest in Void Wretches (out as plastic models separate to Tara's box very soon), Rat Catchers (not out in plastic yet, but available... somewhere... in metal), and to a lesser extent, Freikorpsmann models (along with Von Schill's box or available as 2-of in their own box - I recommend getting VS's box though as it is filled with really good Outcast pieces). Hope that helps! ~Lil Kalki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enderwiggin Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Ronin are pretty strong there and, if they are allowed to kill themselves, pretty affordable on returns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhallan42nd Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm fond of Void Wretches, as move 5 and incorporeal work fairly well. We don't have a huge amount of choices, as we're mostly about super awesome elite killy stuff; but the little Wretch is the best I've seen to get the job done.

papa smurf Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Desperate mercs. Cheap reliable minions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnBloodbeard Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Ronin are pretty strong there and, if they are allowed to kill themselves, pretty affordable on returns. Can't shoot to save themselves, but also can't be charged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Desperate mercs. Cheap reliable minions. Wow. First time I've seen that recommendation. I'd say void wretches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patzer Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Void Wretches, Hodepodge Effigy, Ashes and Dust ^^ Desperate Merc is a good throw in model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHammer Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 If you're running Misaki, her Torakage make excellent runners, especially if you take smoke and shadows. Agile and teleporting make for easy scheme placement even in your opponent's deployment area, and they can out fight many other scheme runners. You do pay for them, mind, but no more than a ronin if Misaki is your master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Torakages are really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enderwiggin Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Once wave three drops, Winged Plague(s) should be nice too. Walk 6 with flying for four points isn't shabby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweak Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I appreciate the advice. My void wrenches are on route now and it's good to know outside Tara they serve a purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
