WoozleWozzle Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Friend wants to run Vikkies, Von Schill, Sue, and _____ in 25-35 SS games. Can anyone recommend other models to make the list run smoother against a wider array of opposing lists? Unreleased Book 3 stuff is fair game.

Bruglyother Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Friend Can't run that list. Sue cannot be run with any model who has Ruthless, which Von Schill does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoozleWozzle Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Oh, he was under the impression that the Trappers had Ruthless, but Von didn't. Fine, say Vikkies + Sue + Johan + ________. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilGinger Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Check it with the Crew builder its the only way & Von Schill should work with the Victorias I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilGinger Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Would have edited the above but cant see where the button is to do this I have just checked this on the Malifaux crew builder & I am suprised you cant use Von Schill as a henchman in a scrap crew & Sue this is a bit annoying as a Victoria's mercenary crew is the next on my list. I have the starter box reserved at Spirit Games & am thinking what to add to it. Von Schill would have been the perfect answer and Sue especially if you get the reference is very cool.

dsmiles Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Adding to the Viks? Misaki, Ten Thunders Brothers, Ronin, Freikorps Librarian, and Convict Gunslinger. Gives you a pretty good base of models to choose from. Maybe a Desperate Merc or two, if you like (I don't care for them myself). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoozleWozzle Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 It looks like Convict Gunslinger can't be used with Sue either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilGinger Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I am finding the what to put in a Mercenary crew a bit chalenging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serigala Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Its not so hard. All the above mentioned models have their uses. I haven't played with Sue yet, but he's not cheap, so fitting him and Von Schill in the same list would be costly. Don't forget you don't choose your crew until you know opponents faction and strategies. You don't want a fixed 35ss of models, you mix and match dependant on circumstances.

EvilGinger Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I do want a fixed crew for demo & loan purposes even if I have a 50 point crew which I pare down to 35 to play with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Metal Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I haven't played with Sue yet, but he's not cheap, so fitting him and Von Schill in the same list would be costly. Von Schill and Sue cannot be in the same crew regardless of how costly it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serigala Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Von Schill and Sue cannot be in the same crew regardless of how costly it is. As had been made clear in the posts directly above mine. My point being that regardless of the rules, you would be unlikely to want to run the two together anyway. The Convict Gunslinger would be a different story...if he/she was allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAH Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Victorias 25ss, 6ss cache Sue 7 Ronin 5 Ronin 5 Desperate Mercenary 2 35ss, 7ss cache Add 3rd Ronin (5) and Johan (6), drop Desperate Merc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar86 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) I'd say, Viks, Sue, Freikorps Librarian, a Ronin, and 6 SS for 25 points. Viks, Sue, the Librarian, Taelor, a Ronin, and 8 SS for 35 points. Sue really cuts down on your options, no gunslingers, trappers, Hans, or anything else resembling ranged combat specialists, really. Frankly, I bought Sue more for my Sonnia Criid Crew, and for the completion of having all the currently-available mercs, than anything else.

Viks, Sue, the Librarian, Taelor, a Ronin, and 8 SS for 35 points. I agree. The Librarian is pretty good for the Viks. She'll keep them alive.

HunterB Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Maybe a daft question but who is Sue?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Sue is a book 3, Twisting Fates, mercenary based on Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue" and has abilities representing other Johnny Cash songs (like Ring of Fire) or covers (in the case of Hurt). He can dish out Burning Tokens, which makes him a great addition to Sonnia, as BlueStar86 mentioned. I picked him and McTavish up for the same completing the mercs reason. GAH's list is fairly viable. I usually just run the Vikies, two or three Ronin, and one other model, like Taelor or Misaki, or Sue or the Librarian, or I'll run the Viks with VonSchill and the Freikorps. Sure, we have the option of tailoring our crews, but some times, especially for demos, the K.I.S.S. Method (Keep It Simple, Stupid) works wonders. Having several of the same reliable models that are great in a wide range of circumstances is often better than running a crew made up of several different unique models, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Unless I know specifically which crew you're playing, instead of which faction, it won't help me much to say run models that are great against one threat and not others. You announce Arcanists, I smirk and grab my models that are great against Constructs. You, pull out your Marcus crew and watch my smile fade. Also, don't forget that the Performer & Mannequin can be hired as a Mercenary (hire one Performer, get one Mannequin free of charge, even if the Performer is expensive), if you really want them. They may not be the best option, but they're certainly one more tool in the Mercenary toolbox.
