Killjoy and Lo Pan

[Bumpasses]

Been getting stomped by Killjoy rat bomb.

 

Has me thinking of using  him with Yan Lo, but not as a summons.

 Yan can armor him, I would also give him an upgrade to benefit from Right of Strength from SE.

Then feed  him models via Lightning Dance.

Toshiro would be along  for the ride to turn those markers into Ashi or Koma

But is it worth it...14pts right there.

Couple of nice heals

Min 4

Terror all

Trigger to swing again

Fast every turn and a push from SE 

 

To be honest, I love the model and want to paint him like an Uruk-Hai.

But wonder at the viability of using him on the table from the start.

Anyone ever try this?

The problem with starting Killjoy on the table is that he has to perform a 1AP charge as his first action if he's not engaged and has a legal target to charge. If there are only friendly models in LoS and 8 inches of him that's who he's going to charge.

You can easily move him around with Sensei Yu or the Shadow Emissary. You may want both to make sure you've moved him far enough. Beyond your painting idea (which would be excellent) I don't see a reason to pick Killjoy over Yasunori. 

I think there are better ways to deal with the bomb, like a storming Misaki early in turn 1.

I think the big problem with Thunders and Killjoy is that its hard for us to get the model count to make his bomb effective. You want him to be the last model to activate and the first to activate the next turn. Thunders outside of McCabe and dog spam tend to make out in the 8-9 range.
