Mxbedlam Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Not counting using Tara, who are your favorite outcast pieces to round out crews? I haven't picked any up yet, but I was leaning towards the monstrosity that is Killjoy. Are there any other Outcasts that your Rezzer Leaders pay to come along for the ride?

kross1 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I almost always take convict gunslinger w/my Seamus crews. I did play a interesting game against Rasputina the other day, which was: Seamus w/Red Chapel Killer & Bag O' tools Copycat Killer 3x Crooligans 2x Night Terrors Killjoy Bete Noir w/Decaying Aura The Strategy was Turfwar & my Schemes where Assassinate & Breakthrough, my opponent did't want to kill anything of mine.

mattausten86 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Killjoy....just cos hes a rampaging fattie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Bishop can bring a lot to almost any crew. Sue is looking up to become one I'll pick up. Johan should make his way into my Ramos list. Also Killjoy most definetly is a must pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattausten86 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Johan is a usual addition in my ramos crew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxbedlam Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Anyone bring the Friekorps to the battle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 How are ressers not bringing Johan? Sure he costs 7ss for us, but he's got hard to kill, 8 wds, melee range of 3 which ties in great with unnerving aura. AND BEST OF ALL has rebel yell which needs a 4 of rams or better which we generally dont care about (aside from bette) which removes a condition. Which is great at the best of times, but combine it with nurses, so you fully heal and paralyse whatever model then you accomplice johan to remove the paralyse. Sure you're not going to be doing this every turn but the turns you dont you have a solid hitter with flurry. Gives you more options like morty can go crazier with corpse bloat who needs a spleen stuff, you can heal up flesh construct summons so no need to discard the extra counter for the trigger on reanimator etc. Basically use johan is awesome!

Clement Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I've actually had good luck running with Hans in recent games. My local players are VERY heavy on ranged attacks, and Hans ability to fire into melee from 28 inches away is incredibly useful. He's a dainty flower though and a VERY high priority target, so keep an eye on him. He's gotten a lot of flack on these boards because of his "Smile you son of a... " ability, but I think in all the games I've fielded him in, I've only actually seriously considered it once. Generally I have too many other important things to do with my high cards and especially my crows. (it's going to need either an 11 of higher of crows, or 11 or higher of anything AND another crow). I'm primarily a Nico/Seamus/McMourning player though and I don't think he gets really bad without Tara along. Getting back on topic, Taelor is also incredibly useful for shutting down summoning crews with her Welcome to Malifaux ability. I REALLY hope that she either gets released solo (never going to happen) or else she, Hans, and Johan get released as a box together.

MasterDisaster Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Any of the specialized Freikorps, Lazarus and Hans are ALWAYS strong contenders for most of my lists. Most of the above offer some serious support or fire power and so I often debate the pro's or con's of taking them over other faction equivalents.

Clement Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Has anyone actually tried the Desperate Merc yet? The one stone refund on death is like getting the merc tax back, but I'm just not sure about them this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
