Gabbi Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Seems odd that nobody started this discussion before... anyway, thoughts on using Aionus to lead a crew? (He's an Henchman). What models would you accompany to him? I own Convicted Gunslinger, Desperate Mercenary, Johan, Malifaux Child, and I was thinking if, by buying a spare couple more of models, I could be able to build a simple crew to teach games (that, given how "tricky" Aionus is, could be a bad idea).

D_acolyte Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I would by some low cost models so that you can make them fast with cheep cards. Such as a five to make a voidwrech fast or a 7 for a fast trapper. I like voidwretchs and Friekcorps for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Things that can Flurry or similar benefit immensely from Fast as with it they don't have to stand still to do their thing. Johan would be golden, I think. And Ronin also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FacelessOne Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I had some luck taking him with a gunslinger, Vanessa with howling wolf tattoo, and Johan. That way you only spend 1 card per model, as you get free flurries on merc models. This was 25 SS though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyIvan Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 The problem with Flurry type models is that they eat two cards. One for Fast and one for Flurry. If you max out on Flurry/Rapid Fire/Furious Casting (say Johan, Convict Gunslinger, and a Librarian) then you need 6 cards just to get the Fast Flurry out of them. I feel like is sounds better on paper than it'll perform in reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DXXXVIII Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Give him "I pay better", now you can drop 2 cards for fast and focus when needed xD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izikial Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm of a different opinion, I think take modles that can burry, and try and fast 1 modle of worth rather than 2-3 piddly things. an example, nothing beast and 2 wretches, if you do fast all then they have higher defence, and you have alot of potential burrys draining enemy cards, and at that at that pt value losing 1 guy Is devastating, although a hybrid is possibly best, 2 wretches and a bishop or a convict, 1 thing to g get fast and reap huge rewards from it and wretches scheming and going for burrys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercenary models within LOS do not need to discard a card to flurry or rapid fire. So you're getting a free flurry, but paying for fast. Not to mention Vanessa is pretty solid on her own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
