Blacktao Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Oi guys, I'm maybe gonna start with my 4th master(s): The Viktorias I'm planning to buy the crew box; misaki; the convict gunslinger; student of conflicten a pack of ronin is this a good synergic crew or not? Can you guys give me some guidelines I'm not gonna play huge encounters with it, but I wanna have some models to chose from and some models like the gunslinger and the student are also for my other masters thx in advance greetzz Black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serigala Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Gunslinger is good in many crews, but the Student tends to get left behind by the Viks. An alternative would be something like; Viks (blister), 3 x Ronin, Freikorps boxset, and then maybe Taelor (though if you are keeping to a budget you could postpone Lady Hammerstrike till later - she's good, but not absolutely necessary). This combination could give competitive crews at every level up to Brawls (for about the same spend) and would have the bonus of giving you 2 different leaders to choose from at lower points.

naiatoc Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 What you have listed is almost exactly what I started out with. The only exception is: I don't run the student of conflict. I recently expanded into the Freikorps. They work very well with the Victorias. So to answer you original question. I would either go with what you have listed plus the Freikorps Librarian. Or I would go a completely different direction and go with what Serigala said. Both are very reasonable plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacktao Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Ok thx I'll see what I'm gonna do First I'm gonna look at those Freikorps greetzz Black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacktao Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Well I've been looking at the Freikorps but they don't intrest me So I'll stick with my current list I think But still thx fotr the advise greetzz Black :hail: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serigala Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 The reason I suggested the Freikorps boxset is that you don't get full use out of the Viks boxset. Taelor and the Viks will get used, but Bishop is very expensive (10pts) and Johan is best in an Arcanist MSU crew. If you buy the Viks and Taelor, separately that is more to spend on models that will give better utility; 3x Ronin, Convict, Librarian etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacktao Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 yea true but I just like the bishop and I think he is worth the SS-cost for what he can do that's my opinion doh greetzz Black:hail: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serigala Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have Bishop but have rarely included him in my crew. He is apparently very good at holding objectives - and is one of the best models for retreiving the loot in Treasure Hunt, due to his defensive triggers. I play the Viks very offensively (I don't think they really play any other way) and for several reasons would rather have 2 Ronin backing them up than whatever Bishop brings to the table.

naiatoc Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Bishop is useful in higher point games. If your doing, for example, a 50ss game, then his high cost is somewhat mitigated over the whole. Even if your not interested in the Freikorps, I would still get the Librarian. Her healing is very useful. Very useful! The Viks are fairly fragile. And if you just can't stand the look of the Freikorps, then at least buy her stat card off the website and proxy in a different miniature. (I know a guy who proxies the gunslinger for the same reason: doesn't like the fig.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigasb Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I had my first game with the Vicks last night and can throughly recommend the Libarian, she saved a ronin and Taelor so made her points back and then some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
