I'm taking Lady J, slightly altering a list I took for my last game, which was also turf war. I'll be taking: Lady J Scales Judge Peacekeeper Lone Marshall Domadore 2 x Death Marshalls. 4ss I report back victorious. Just. It was wedge deployment, and both my opponent and I took Breakthrough and Claim Jump. It quickly turned into a scrum in the middle of the table with both Viks in melee with Lady J and the Peacekeeper. It was pretty much a tickle fight in turn two with six attacks going off from boths side and just a few pings of damange. Turn three was a different matter. A red joker saw LJ taken down, followed by one of the Viks, and my opponant managed another red joker in the same turn ona surpsie damage flip from one of his 4point models against the Lone Marshall, taking him down to two wounds before he'd managed to get to their deployment zone fro break through. After that the general scrumminess continued. The star of the show for me was the Domadore, who outputted a tonne of healing, including hitting the viks and blasting out to heal LJ and the Peacekeeper more than once, and I also managed to Pine Box two of the enemy's big beaters, holding one for one turn and the other for two, so I totally changed my mind about how effective that is. At the end of the game My opponant had only one model plus a Vik with two wounds left. One of my DM's Hard to Kill stopped him from being able to drop the last scheme marker for breakthrough, but he did end up with a model in range of the centre point for Claim jump. The end score was four each, me with two for the Strat and two for breakthrough, him with two for the strat and two for Claim Jump, however the model he'sd appointed for claim jump had died and been reborn in turn five and he found out afterwards it counts as a new model, not the same, so he couldn't score the final point, so technically a 3-4 win for me. Lessons - The Domadore is fantastic and I shall always find room for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronex13 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 That sounds like an epic game! Lady J vs Vic's is always a fun time A work of caution - Domador can only heal living models, which the peacekeeper is not... So be careful of that next game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Tooth Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Been super busy but made time for a few games recently. Lucius vs Mah. Turf War on Corner. Detonate, Claim Jump, Search, Hold up, Deliver a Message. Both crews went for Claim Jump & Search. Lucius crew: Lucius + 6 stones Scribe 46 + LLC Alan + LLC Lawyer Changeling Stewie Rifleman Mah Crew: Mah + 3 stones Little Lass Trixie BBB SS Miner Bushwacker x2 Rooster Rider x2 This was a wild game. I lost the rifleman to a RJ second activation turn 1. Alan held up both roosters for two turns (took one down with him) with a little healing from Stewie. 46 did assassin things and killed a Bushwacker, the Soulstone Miner, Mah, & Little Lass. Lucius took out a Rooster with a sniper shot. I was Commanding/Obeying up the board most turns to get 4-5 actions out of 46 each turn. 46 & Mah RJ damaged each other before 46 finally took Mah down. Guild won the day 6-5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Tooth Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Lucius vs Von Schtook GG0 rules. Idols on Flank. Claim Jump, Breakthrough, Harness, Power Ritual, Vendetta. Guild Lucius + 5 stones Scribe Alan + LLC Investigator x2 Lawyer Changeling x2 Field Reporter Rezzer Von Schtook + 3 stones Research Assistant Valedictorian Anna Lovelace Sloth Undergrad x2 Necropunk Undergrad (Summoned) This was a rough game. Von Schtook is a bad matchup for Lucius. Anna turns off Obeys in a 6" aura. Schtook hands out Focus like candy, which shuts down Serene Countenance, Manipulative, & Intimidating Authority. The scheming is incidental like Elite's, but the card draw felt like it came up every other activation for Schtook. I held out for two turns and managed to stay 3-3 by turn 3, but I had lost 4 models at that point with an Undergrad summoned in. Projected a loss of 5-3 for Guild had we played to turn 5.

Sweet Tooth Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Basse + Sonnia vs Mei Feng GG0 rules. Turf War on Flank, Power Ritual, Search, Breakthrough, Deliver, Assassinate Guild Basse + LLC + 5 stones Bernadette Sonnia + Expert Marksman Pale Rider Pathfinder + Expert Marksman Trap x3 Thrall (summoned) TT Mei Feng + 3 stones Forgeling Neil Metal Golem + HtK upgrade Sun Rail Worker x2 Kang Finally tried out @4thstringer 's list with some change ups for opposing crew. Probably could have dropped the upgrade on Pathfinder for another trap, but as it was there was a lot of scrap generated right outside Mei's deployment zone as they got hampered up killing all the traps. Ride the Rails is bonkers as Mei teleported around the board, but not bad since I was controlling the engagement. Pathfinder had a great turn 1 as he hit the Golem for RJ damage. Sonnia & the Rider finished the Golem off, then Sonnia ran after Neil turn 2 to burn him into a Thrall. The freshly summoned Thrall then wolloped Mei for 10 damage (getting the 1st point of Assassinate). Basse, not to be left out, also took down Kang. We ended at turn 2 for time, score of 2-1, but walked through the remaining game. Guild was projected to win 6/7 to 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thstringer Posted November 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Took a beating tonight against kaeris with lj in reckoning. I had lj, peacekeeper, pale rider with llc, emissary with LLC, dmr with expert Marksman, and get totem. I killed her totem and her fire golem by the top of 2. The dmr's whole job was to kill the ss miners and couldn't touch them. Felt like I couldn't win a flip to save my life. Kaeris is basically on permanent +flips.

Dark Reaper Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Lists I ran for Norwegian Nationals, single master only: Against Pandora in Corrupted Idols, 7-0 Lucius list that I shamelessly stole from @Flippin' Wyrd Matt: Lucius Scribe Agent 46, LLC Grimwell Alan Reid Investigator Lawyer False Witness Cache - 4 Against Ophelia in Plant Explosives, 3-8 Against @Scoffer. Facing a player I knew to be highly proficient and playing a master (or indeed faction, except for Ulix once) I hadn't faced before, I panicked a bit and chose a weird list. I don't vouch for this one. Nellie Printing Press Pale Rider, LLC Agent 46, LLC Pathfinder Steward False Witness Cache - 7 Third game against Nekima, Reckoning. Same Lucius list as first game. Won 5-4 Fourth game was against Ressers. Turf War with Wedge deployment. He dropped Kirai, I dropped this Lady J list. Won 2-1 as we barely got to play 2 rounds(!), but at that point he had 4 models left. Lady Justice, LLC Scales Pale Rider, LLC Lone Marshal Domador Steward Exorcist Cache - 7 Last game was Plant Explosives against Bayou Zoraida and @Barmution, won 6-5 Lucius Scribe Agent 46, LLC Pale Rider, LLC Doppleganger Lawyer Changeling Changeling Cache - 4 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 I offered to mirror a Dashel so we could look at the crews from both sides of the boards at once. Unfortunately Reckoning was paired with the very schemiest of schemey scheme pools. My Dashel brought Queeg, one mounted guard, two riflemen with No Prisoners, and the upgraded effigy: his brought the pale rider, two mounted guards, and two hounds: we both brought a steward. The flips were lackluster for both sides for the entire game, but my, if it weren’t for the pale rider and summoned executioner on his side I would have felt no offensive power at all. Certainly felt mine was also lacking without sufficient targets for coordinated strike triggers, though the mounted guards (I summoned another) punched above their weight into relatively clustered models. Quick, yes, with all that Ride with Me galloping around. Powerful, not really. The potential for weight of attacks never made itself felt outside of the pale rider’s activation.

Later, they can run schemes, act as targets for hidden sniper and do all kinds of shenanigans. They are a bargain for 4SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 Against Von Schtook. I lost 5:4 due too some positioning mistakes (should be 5:5 if i moved lucius 0,5 inch closer to score outflank). Also Von Schtook was left at 2 wounds and escaped with 3 actions to other side of table XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High ranged threat, high attack stats, noon def. 6 shooters > Kung Fu Had to comment on this. When you announce Perdita Schlong can take the stealth upgrade and walz right up the middle of the table being pretty much untouchable to everyone except Loco.

I usually play Perdita in a bubble to use A por el. Perdita is usually either in the middle of the bubble, or on front with Phiona close. If Shen Long walks in middle, he will be in range of every one. If he wants to stay away from every models, use its stealth, and scheme / run after scheme runners that's ok for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the stealth style I believe his last ap each turn is the Falling rave kick off Fermented river style which lets him attack, push 7 inches and change into wandering river which gives him butterfly jump until his next activation. He could target something on the edges of the bubble and still be 8 inches from the closest model. I did just realize bravado doesn't target, just needs LoS so I can see how that would be really useful against him. It would be fun if Perdita turned out to be a silver bullet for something, so far she's been somewhat frustrating for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelshard Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 While not the most competitive keyword, family is a solid crew for learning the game and gives a lot of options in keyword. Destructible Terrain removal, condition removal, anti scheming and anti armor means you can focus on learning the keyword models and not be completely out matched.

Yeah, I think it's reliably middle-of-the-pack, and the sheer volume of focused shots at range forces an opponent to think through things slightly differently in terms of how many attacks they're going to weather in a given match. Bravado and A Por El are both nice efficiencies that don't take a lot of planning or foresight. I think of it as a crew with a solid footing but not a lot of space to min-max it up. Really depends on which schemes you're going to take, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
