kxizm Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 With the Librarian on healing duties, those SS aren't needed for healing apart from an emergency, especially when one spell heals both of the twins. ah ha! I hadn't thought of this. Keep the ranged Vik close to the Librarian so she can heal from safety. Imagining the both viks and von schill in combat makes me drool a little bit... Thats a very solid sounding crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromorph Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) I would recomend either taking Taelor or the Viks. I just beat a Vic's crew (first Malefaux victory ever....out of the 5 total games I've played, haha) with, Von Librarian Trapper Specialist 1x Friek Convict GS Taelor The only advice I can give is that you need to be careful of getting overagressive with any 1 model. Make sure you have support for whatever model you're going to throw into the fray, particualarly the Freiks themselves. If your opponent cheats to a negative or double negative flip, you're looking at 1 damage done, that is the drawback of the Freiks is their low end damage. Also if your opponent can isolate an unsupported model that 1 armor is only going to do so much and the majority of the Freiks are fragile. Having said that, Von Schill and the Librarian are almost unkillable if you keep them close to one another. So long as you can keep a ram in your hand to add to the Libby's casting when she activates, she pretty much can't die (slow to die, easy cast heal every time). In her activation, she can spam heal (furious cast) on Von Schill and/or other close Freiks (or even Taelor or a Vik if you have to). The turning point where things looked bad for me in the 2 games I've played with them were turns where I drew no rams in my starting hand. Ugh, I feel like once per game is a little bit much for that to happen, but the second game didn't matter (fortunately I still had all of Von's stones for healing flips).

Sturm88 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I have been using the Convict Gunslinger and Bishop. Librarian makes Bishop an even more abusive beat stick and the Gunslinger helps lay down the already impressive range line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Alleycat Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I had my first two games with the 'Korps tonight. First one was 35 pts,Von Schill,Taelor,Convict,Specialist,Trapper,Librarian,one Trooper. All told the Librarian didn't perform as well as I had hoped,given that usually she was out of position to get the heals on those that needed it half the time. Trapper performed well,but not amazingly. Specialist did wonders for intimidation,and for dealing with a Pesky Waldgeist. (*snickers* so you bring a forest with you? thats fine,more wood for me to burn *giggle maniacly*) But Von Schill and Taelor were both the stars of the show. Taelor in the first game smashed into Marcus and gave him a face full of hammer. Second game she smacked the crap out of Rasputina. Von schill dispensed his clockwork asskicking at range repeatedly. I did see some of the "low minimum damage" problems people talk about,and so I can certainly agree that adding in Taelor is a very good choice. The gunslinger also does well to present another thing for your opponenet to focus on. All in all it was a joy to play them and I am officially hooked.

Necromorph Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 @ above, Yeah when I use the Libby, I just keep her right by Von, so she benefits from his aura's. Actually...I usually keep all of my 'korps pretty close together, I mean, then are immune to blasts and pulses, lol. The Libby's offensive casting is a bit inconsistant, so I just use her as a heal/buff bot, only casting for damage when something gets low and NEEDS to die.

Katcher Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Ok, we were playing at 25 SS... What are the tactics against Lilith? She is too fast to outmanevre, even Von Schill cannot disengage from CC at right distance, DF 8....she kept me nearly always negative flip, while she divebombed from Mature Nephilin and slaughtered the crew. Yup, I didn´t know, that she was so fast, I underestimated her. So, what to do with her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Alleycat Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Von schill can ALLWAYS disengage if you use one of his two zero levels to cast assisted jump. Also remember you can have your guys do focus to attack higher Defense targets. Also remember your specialist can burn things near her. Also,possibly using one of your korpsmen to keep lilith in place long enough to have Taelor walk up and break face might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katcher Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 That problem was that I had no Taelor :/ I didn't know, that Lilith is that fast, so I wanted to keep her in range and snipe her with Hans (who headshotted big Nephilim)..that was the biggest of my fails And yes, I disengaged from Lilith for 15"..But she had walk 6, charge 9 and range 2.Problem was with big 2" sword - if I wanted to make Hunting knife strike, I had to spend 1 AP to move to 1" range - so no flurry, no focus :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Alleycat Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Ahhh...well I would honestly go for Taelor instead of Hans,since the 'Korps have good shooting allready,and her anti spirit and close combat ability is amazing. And while you cant focus or flurry you can charge and that is honestly what I would do in that situation.The other option would be to disengage with nimble,and then either focus a shot or do two shots,and ideally you would want to get her out of soulstones before you tried it but when you can get a pair of shots off with von schill,most things you send him at tends to fall down.

Katcher Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yup...It was the first minitournament around here and afterwards I bought Taleor, it´s undercoated now. Because this hitter is a must have in about 60 % of lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oni_no_chinmoku Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 In a 25ss game against lilith, mature neph, young neph, 2x tot nephs, and a cherub; I used Von schill, specialist, 2x trapper, Hans, freikorpsman, was able to take out most all but lilith and won strategy (Shared Turf War) Hans did major damage to the mature, while the von schill and the rest did take out the rest but lilith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
