My Lucius list:

Lucius
The Scribe
Agent 46, Lead Lined Coat - 11
Doppleganger - 8
Investigator - 7
Lawyer - 6
Rifleman - 7
Rifleman - 7
Cache - 4

Molly list:
Molly
Necrotic Machine
Archie, Grave Spirit's Touch - 11
Phillip and the Nanny - 8
Grave Golem, Killer Instinct - 12
The Forgotten Marshal - 7
Rabble Riser - 6
Cache - 2 (Should have been 6, but my opponent thought you had to pay for your totem. I think he also paid an extra SS for the Grave Golem)

Strategy: Corrupted Idols
Schemes: I had Claim Jump on the Investigator and Breakthrough. My opponent had Claim Jump and Power Ritual.

After deployment, the board looked like this. The large terrain piece on the left side of my deployment zone is severe, so I decided to stay away from it. This may have been a mistake, seeing as the Idols might suddenly appear on the other side of the board, but I felt somewhat confident in my considerable firepower being enough to pick off any scheme runners moving toward that side of the board.

My opponent makes a mistake here and moves his Grave Golem cautiously forward. I respond by pushing and shuffling with scheme markers and Lucius and suddenly have all my four rifles (Riflemen, Dopple and Agent) in range, two of them even not having LoS to Molly. The Grave Golem goes down without managing to get out any Corpse Markers and I have a huge advantage early. Archie moves into position to jump onto Lucius.

I realise that I cannot actually prevent Archie from getting into Lucius without moving out so that Molly can see me, so I decide to keep him there and hope that Serene Countenance and soulstones will be enough for him to survive for a while. Worst case scenario, I can shoot into combat with Riflemen and take off a few wounds of Archie. Agent 46 steals Archie's fist and charges Phillip, but back to back 13s saves him and his Nanny from taking any dmg. His Rabble Riser pushes the Idol to my side of the board and charges a Rifleman. I pick off the Rabble Riser and manage to push the Idol back to his side of the board. The Investigator does some shenanigans with a corpse maker and pushes out of combat and walks to the middle to Claim Jump.

Turn 3, I gun down Molly and my opponent concedes. I have almost full board control and can more or less score the points I want while preventing him from scoring.

Thoughts on the crews:

GUILD:

Lucius: Lucius seems like a solid master. He has a great toolbox for controlling the pace of the game and to apply pressure where needed. I am still not convinced how useful he is commanding non-elites, as he has to pass an additional test without any card draw, but at least it is an option. Molly dictated his placement in this game a lot, but it worked out OK-ish.

Agent 46: Still the be-all and end-all of actual combat capability in the Elite crew. His Inhuman Physiology makes him Inhumanly strong (sorry), but I also feel like he is desperately needed at all times for this crew to actually accomplish what they are trying to do.

The Scribe: I misplayed the Scribe a bit this game. I should have been playing him closer to Lucius to pull him out of combat. I like him as a toolbox totem and think he is elegantly designed for what he is.

Doppleganger: My first time playing with him. Copying guns and shooting at people with stat 7 or charging with Agent 46s Twirling Blades was fun. As many other things in the Elite list, the doppleganger is a toolbox and often have the right tool for the job.

Investigator: Investigator is also really good at what she does. I seldom manage to get her to attack in any meaningful way, but often use her for card draw, pushes, discarding opponent's cards and running schemes. She is great at all those things.

Lawyer: I really like how the Lawyers play. Tools for the job just makes them so much fun to use. You often have to make a choice of whether to activate them when you have the right card on top of your dicard pile. As all the other elite models they are heavily reliant on actually having their beater in play to obey.

Riflemen: I mainly brought these guys to shoot, and for the two mimics to copy their weapons. That worked out really well, but they also provided my crew with some additional soulstones due to their ability to pick up corpse markers, as well as some additional dmg against charging enemies. I am still not sure if they actually fit in this crew, but they provide a deadly firebase and a lot of ranged threats, especially for an opponent who only wants to fight in melee. The fact that they ignore friendly fire is also extremely solid.

RESSERS:

Molly: So, Lethe's Caress sure is something. I think changing it to LoS really helped and it is in a much better place now. I managed to hide my combatants behind my opponent's bigger models, which allowed them to actually hit twice. I also had Agent 46 and Dopple as my primary beaters, which could copy other attacks to prevent me from taking dmg. I am not sure how this would work if I instead played something like Perdita and her gunfighter buddies though. With only one attack to choose from, the game would have been almost unwinnable, I think.

Grave Golem: I don't know why he lost his ability to generate corpse markers, but he seems weak now. I was easily able to pick him off turn one, even though he used the totem to try and heal it.

The rest of the crew seemed to work as intended, I especially liked Archie with his leap.
