The Pockets Levi Diary 2012

[magicpockets]

Okay, so before Masters I was starting to explore Leviticus and finding him a bit of a hit/miss master to play as (thread here)

Taking the lead from Calmdown's diary I've decided to restart my thread for Levi as much of the old thread got derailed into rules discussions with some of the new ideas I had (mainly around Bette and Soulstone Miner).

Faction Pros/Cons
===========
As with most of the Outcast crews, Levi is narrowed to his "own" crew rather than a full faction of models - although he has a huge range of models which "should" make him extremely versatile - even better, he doesn't need to pay the +1ss for out of faction hires.

On the downside, he has the Outcast curse of 0ss (which means you'll almost always have less soulstones of minions than your opponents), has an outdated death mechanic (it was cool in Book one, but is a handicap now after the release of book 2 - eg with LCB), and he's limited by not being able to hold useful cards until later in the game (i.e. if you get the Red Joker in your hand you may want to hold it until that crucial moment later in the game - but not with Levi)

Model Selection
==========
Levi's models can be split into three areas, namely Constructs, Undead and Soulless - I'll also add a separate "Leaders" section for Levi, Henchmen and Totems. This is a HUGE selection so I'm going to slowly fill out this section as I play with/against certain models.
