I'm starting to put my Patrician starter together and Vesper-On have supplied the starter with a good range of options when it comes to weapons. The wrists are tiny enough that I don't fancy my chances of magnetizing the weapon options while staying sane, so that's kinda off the table at the moment.
There's the Noble who can be armed with a pistol, two Barnabotis who can have pistols or swords replacing their hand weapons and finally the two city guards who have a wealth of options to choose from.
Tentatively, I was thinking of leaving the Noble as is (sword and hand weapon), giving one Barnaboti a sword and another a pistol, and giving one city guard a musket and the other a halberd.
Now, the problem here is that the musket is tremendously expensive at 25 points and with Reload(3) isn't going to be doing a lot of shooting during the match. In fact, it's more than a 100% more expensive. Halberd at 10 points is more affordable, but still pretty expensive. I haven't played the game, so I'm not sure how big a deal Long Reach is. In Alkemy it's pretty amazing, but here hitback works differently and Long Reach dudes don't seem to give out ally modifiers unless in base to base.
Noble 55
Barnaboti, Sword 35
Barnaboti, Pistol 40

vs
Noble 55
Barnaboti, Sword 35

Venice City Guard, Musket 45

Any advice?
