Voldrak Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 The Viks have incredible movement speed and can easily slingshot each other across half the board in a single activation. The crew chosen and the strategy/schemes will highly affect how they are played. You will mostly want to make sure you do not keep your guys too close to each other. Her 2" melee range and whirlwind trigger can make short work of 2 or 3 minions easily. If she has ronins, take them down when you can. If you kill a Vik first, she will be able to summon another one using a ronin as a sacrifice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigkid Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Just remember to take your house keys. Then, at a crucial time in the game simply shake them and say 'Oooh, look at the lovely keys!'. This will prove an irresistible distraction to Steve....

Cornelious1424 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 If you can manage to take out any Ronin and 1 of the Viks, you can really neutralize their movement shenanigans. Ophelia by her self can easily waste them, as Calculated Luck is the best trigger in the game (IMHO). If they are using Freikorps, don't even bother using Pere. Utilizing Like Herding Squirrels can save your important models from multiple Vik strikes, while setting the trap to blow their faces off! Oh, and hope for any special that cuts movement in half...

Dumb Luck Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 How did you manage to get Hamelin with five normal Bayou Gremlins, may I ask? Since he has Bully and all ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shank Seamus! Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Combination of 'take y,all with me and targeting my own gremlins' was kinda easy really.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigkid Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Combination of 'take y,all with me and targeting my own gremlins' was kinda easy really.. That, combined with Steve's tried and tested tactic of marching his models right up the centre of the board, ignoring any available cover and complaining that 'I can't do anything!!'..... How do you sleep at night? It's like punching a kitten..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
