Fluffaluffacus Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Ask me what I would take for Arcanist? Easy. Rezzer? Not horrible. Outcast? Uhm. I'm playing an Outcast vs Guild game tomorrow.

Fluffaluffacus Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'm just trying to get feed back as to which list would probably stand up the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadhna Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Go Jack, swap Envy for a Freikorps Spec for the Nurse combo. Swap Ligeia for Hodgepodge Effigy. If you have it, swap Guillotine Injustice for Bigger They Are. Schemes are up to personal preference, but I'd go for Ruins and Eliminate. Alternatively, go with Hamelin, but use Survivalist instead of Infectious Melodies. With that crew, probably go for two marker schemes (i'd get Leave Your Mark and Ruins and bluff Claim Jump) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffaluffacus Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Any reason for taking Guillotine injustice off for Bigger they are? It seems bigger they are is weaker than guillotine in almost any way. And why Hodgepodge over Ligeia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadhna Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 On Guillotine: it's a good upgrade, and it's good for killing off big minions like Jorogumo and Warpigs, but you can't know how many of those you'll be facing. And that's still wasting master AP on minions. Bigger they are, on the other hand, is a steady stream of additional damage that lets you do nice things like 10+ damage on a charge. On Ligeia: she will die as soon as someone looks at her sideways the no-cheat aura is nice, but it's a very fickle combo Whereas Hodgepodge will take at least 3 AP or a dedicated melee beater to take down, can interact and provides a way to regain soulstones. Still, everything is up to personal preference in this crazy game, I've just shared my own experience with the models in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffaluffacus Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Thats fair, I'll try it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terwox Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hamelin: Drop Plague for Survivalist instead of Infectious Melodies -- melodies helps protect your models from accuse -- then your opponent is stuck doing scheme-marker schemes which you're in good shape for. You've got Hollow to stop Sonnia from deleting you (she'll kill Nix turn 2, but hopefully you can have something tie her up on turn 3.) You out-activate Nellie, which is typically hard. Perdita will kill a lot but can't kill everything while you score points, and McMourning shouldn't be worse than any of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtus Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I'm a Hamelin main, so these are my thoughts: I would pick Hamelin and have Nix with him. With Guard the Stash, Hamelin can Obey models into position if necessary. Eliminate the Leadership is hard against Hamelin and you can Killjoy bomb their leader if you want. Accusation is hard against Hamelin if you position well because Nix and Hamelin can choose not to get accused and you will have peon rats everywhere that your opponent can't accuse. I'd pick Leave your Mark and have Nix do it. Search the Ruins won't be bad with Rat Catchers with this strategy because they can drop schemes then get Obeyed into position for Guard the Stash. If I know I'm facing Guild, I'd try fitting in some Crooligans for the Mist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
