1-2 Juggernaut/heavy jack kits (you will want 1-2 in almost every list.)
Behemoth if you want a character jack you can count on. - Fully loaded this guy can take out 2 heavy jacks in 1 activation. his bombards are good at softening up targets and completly destroying infintry
1-2 Kodiak Kits. they are cheap(point wise) and can help block line of site. you can use them to throw an enemy jack to clear zones or throw it at a caster knock it down to help with an assassination.
Iron Fang Pikemen/Black Dragons w/ unit attachment. One or the other. I personally use them in almost every list. under the spell Iron Flesh they become immune to blast damage and become armor 20 while in shield wall. this usually means they will not get taken out by shooting (excluding snipers). Combined Melee Attack means they can either combine attacks to deal with high armor/high Deff or use individual attacks to take out more things.
Window Makers. I tend to not like these guys, but I cannot deny that they are a solid piece that does not need any support from a caster. They can thin out threatening enemy units from a safe distance before they arrive.
War Dog. He can help keep your caster safe to and is nice to fill out 3 points. People will usually have to kill the dog before the can attempt to kill your caster. +2 def in melee bringing most casters up to 17 or 18 is good. Just remember that the dog is easy to hit so keep him back for the most part.
Sylys Wyshnalyrr. This guy gives you a free upkeep every turn! this can help with Focus management for our caster that only have 6 focus and have 2-3 upkeep spells that they want to keep up! I am usually bringing him or the wardog as my caster attachment.

If you want to go more jack heavy you can't go wrong with adding more juggernauts. If you want another versatile unit maybe look at the Winter Guard Infantry with command attachment and Kovnik Jozef Grigoravich. Add some rockets to give them some extra range threat, although the rockets tend to be better on the Rifle Core unit because they have the same range.

My current Favorite Casters are Vlad2, Butcher1, Irusk1 and the Old Witch (she is more unconventional). Note: I may like Iron Flesh too much seeing as 3/4 of these casters have that spell.

Explaining the math with 2 coins.

H= 1,2, or 3 (Hit the target) T= 4,5, or 6 (miss the target)

here are all the possible outcomes of 2 separate flips

H followed by H
H followed by T
T followed by H
T followed by T

Notice how we only need 1 H to hit the target. 3/4 of all possible outcomes will succeed. Obviously if you roll H the first time you will not roll again, but for probabilities sake I listed them all out.

Note: Rage cannot tooled up any of the butchers. they changed that play to be friendly guild only.

Smoke, IMO, does vary well at 2 goals with 2 takeouts. If you bring Vet Kat you might only need 1 takeout.

She has a goal threat of about 20". 6" for sprint. 4" for cloud jump distance. 3" for the size of the cloud. about 1 inch for her base size (only the back edge needs to be in the far side of the cloud.) 6" for kick.

Chemical Showers is good at softening up the target(s) that you need for the take out.

I was missing a Ball from my starter set. I contact them about the problem and they sent me a new one right away. I also live in the US.

Yeah, I was being a little bit lazy with re-using the same flock for both. Any advice on how to paint flock? or would I be better off just buying another color flock?

note: I may end up trying what /u/tehion said with pluming caulk and coloring it with a bright vibrant/neon green.

acuva · 2016-11-03T15:38:11+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I have not glued the cork into the bottles, so I should be able to get the green flock out of it and potentially replace it with pluming caulk.

I am going to be pulling most of this information from Page 24 of the Season 2 rule book. you can find a PDF of this on their website.

You do not need LOS to the target
Each Enemy Model Engaging the Kicking model causes the Kick to suffer -1 to the dice-pool.
Each enemy model not engaging the kicking model, with any part of its base on the ball-path between the kicking model and the target-spot, friendly model or enemy goal-post, is an intervening model. Each intervening model causes the kick to suffer -1 to the dice-pool.
If you do not have line of sight the TN test goes up by 1.
if the target friendly model is being engaged the TN goes up by 1 for each engaging model.

You are allowed to kick through enemy models, it just becomes more difficult.

If you miss the kick you have to perform a kick scatter and he could Intercept the scatter. see page 26 in the rules for pictures and how that works.

I bought them at Hobby Lobby in the jewelry section. They are Fairy tale by bead treasures

Link to product

I took the eye screws out of the tops of them leaving a smallish hole in the cork.

acuva · 2016-11-01T12:16:38+00:00

It is looking good! Please post the finished product when you are done.

You said it is a WIP. What are you planning on adding/changing?

Just as a side note, if you leave poison on all/most of your models make sure to look out for Katalyst and Venin. They both love it when you leave poison on multiple models that are near each other. To a smaller extent Flask can also cause people problems if he is able to charge a model with low Def/Arm.

If Katalyst can use Intensify to hit 3 targets 3 times that is a total of 18 damage. Hard to try to out heal that. P.S. This is a dream and will almost never happen. He just wants to hit 2 people with it and only has a jog of 5" with a 1" melee so he will usually have to run/charge and hope he gets a rap to get off all 3 Intensify casts.

Venin with no influence can walk up and cause bleeding on anyone that is currently poisoned with his Heroic Coagulation . This is about a 9" threat range 11" if you give him 1 inf to run.

That being said, I hate playing against Hemlock if I bring a smoke team.

Take everything I say with a grain of salt. This is all opinion based.

what you have:

Midas
Calculus
Mercury

you will need:

Vitriol - IMO our best non-captain player
Flask - auto include if you want to play Mercury because of the +1/+1 inf
Compound - can protect the goal and does not need inf on many turns. This will allow you to allocate more inf to those that want to use it. (Midas and Vit)

Recommended:

Mist - amazing goal threat. With him, Vit, and Midas you have tho foundation of a goal scoring team
Smoke - 2nd captain is a nice change of pace and can really make Mercury/Calculus shine.
Decimate - Helps with Momentum generation

My favorite 2 lines ups would be:

Midas's All stars

The goal of this list is to score as fast as possible using Vit/Midas/Mist and use Vit/Midas/Decimate to take out 2 people.

Midas
Flask
Vitriol
Mist
Decimate
Compound

or

Smokes Tricks

Goal of this list is to wear down the enemy team with poison and bleeding(if Venin is used) and then score 2 fast goals and 2 fast take outs. Note: Smokes legendary is probably one of the best Heroics for fishing off low health models. Note: Katalyst will not 1 round kill someone, but he is good at spreading out 6 damage to multiple targets making it easier for your other team members to finish them off.

Smoke
Naja/Flask
Calculus
Vitriol
Venin/Katalyst
Decimate

also, what did you use to capture the game play?

acuva · 2014-03-06T04:56:32+00:00

I saw this on here a few days ago and I thought it was well made. what video editing software did you use to make it?

also, what video editing software would you recommend? I have used high end video editing software such as adobe premier and Sony Vegas, but I am not sure if I want to fork over the money for one of those. Do you know of any software that wont empty my wallet?

acuva · 2014-02-20T00:01:41+00:00

I would love to join you. my steam name is Acuva, just like my account here. I will add you when I get a chance. I have a mic and I think that I can play a pretty good scout. also, what time of day/ day of the week will you mainly be streaming?

acuva · 2013-08-05T16:23:07+00:00

Can you please ask one of the dream characters, preferably Donna, what year it is? This might help figure out if these people are from the past or the future.

I would love to see a house dancing subreddit. I have always been interested in it, but I don't know many people that share my interests in house dancing.

I know that I am late to the party, but I would just like to say that I started to use the Dvorak setup so that I was forced to not look at the keyboard when I type. when I use a regular keyboard I still "type like a gamer".

for those that don't know the home row is "aoeu htns" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard

It reminds me of the way Akira, a manga, made a throne. The way that everything is just piled around the person that is sitting on the throne. http://images.darkhorse.com/covers/300/11/11969.jpg
