Xynok Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Hi all, So I'm nearly finished painting up the stuff I have for Jack and I'm looking for a second outcast master to cover some of the bases that he doesn't. I have yet to get a game with him but I don't like having an empty painting table when I'm on a roll. Current outcast stuff I have is: JD's crew box Ama No Zako Hodgepodge Emissary Hodgepodge Effigy Johan Malifaux child My favourite of the remaining masters in the faction are Tara and Levi but I'm not sure if they're going to perform well in the things that Jack isn't great at. I've also been looking at Parker and Von Schill (who has a great box from what I've read to flesh out the faction). Viks are okay, I don't love the model for Blood or the Ronin, Hamelin I like and dislike depending on the weather (today I don't like him, go figure), and Misaki I'm just not that keen on (she seems like a T10 master more than an outcast one). Tara has the minor advantage that Karina can summon the Drowned I own. The argument I have for Levi is I played Arcanists a bit before switching to the correct faction so I have Joss, Howard, Steambugs, Large Arachnid, Mobile Toolkit, Rail Golem and probably something I'm forgetting. I also have the Seamus box, dead doxies and bete noire. Drowned and Hanged are also there who I got for JD really. So there's some stuff to use with his Pariah upgrades lying around. Not necessarily the top-end stuff with lots of synergy but it's there. So where would you suggest I turn my attention to next? Doesn't need to be my two favourites, the margins between all of these are pretty slim. Also what would you suggest as a good way to expand on that master's crew box?

DXXXVIII Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Parker and Jack share the same minions: Dead outlaws, which are great. Schill and jack share the freikorps-specialist, which is great. I'd pick hamelin or viks to compensate for the schemes&strats jacks not good at.... cause they both are good at any scheme.

Stewbert Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 The Viks present a very different play style and Ronin are useful in almost any crew. Jacks actual friends are probably ressurs anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesy Blue Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I would say Von Schill, Viktoria, Parker or Misaki.... a more terrestrial based crew to counter the fullly supernatural crew Jackie, Tara and Levi provides. Hamelin is in the middle, either he's super terrestrial or really out there, so I'd say no so you'd have to stretch your legs, metaphorically speaking. This way people don't know what you're doing when you declare outcasts. Do I prepare for manipulation? Do I prepare for a beat down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
