Got my RiotQuest ninja package from GenCon. Has anyone played around with this? The hard part would be getting close enough to actually make it work.

He cant be played in Gorten's (assuming that's who you mean) home theme: Soldiers of Fortune. So no. I cannot see any synergies between the two.
You could play Gorten in Hammer Strike, where I'd argue Bamfist should always be taken, but then you are playing the worst caster for Hammerstrike in his worst theme.

Yeah Gorten is a Soldiers of Fortune caster, maybe Irregulars if you're feeling spicy, but not Hammerstrike

After Halbies, Press Gangers and Frog Guard are gone there are no cost effective tough/high def troops left in the theme. I guess Idrians and Kayazy, as well as Bamfist, Thor with a Basher, Rhupert and Gabriel for no knock down tough... Hm, actually that does sound kinda fun.

I have trying to get something that works for him in SoF but can't seem to figure it out. What would a list look like for him in that theme?
side note I am super bummed Bamfist's Force Barrier is Rhulic only. I was so super pumped to have Primed Kayazy assassins with primed. Now that dream is gone haha.

He doesn't care for ponies or artillery at all, so bring all the halbies, alexia1, rhupert, nic and arcanists and ironheads (the best reason for this theme). Drown the enemy in bodies and make use of the excellent recursion. As for jacks, either an Earthbreaker or.. eh some drillers and gun bunnies i guess.

Idrians, Eliminators, lots of good solos, maybe a lesser as well

Model X some 20 inches away from Gorton Bamfist charges (8 inches) and kills something. He then triggers battlewizard moving Model X 3 inches straight line toward your edge (within 17 of Gorton) Gorten then charges something. Feats. Pulls it another 8 inches (total pull of 11). Something(s) else pound it to mush You have to have the charge targets lined up.. Otherwise "just" extends he assination range from 14 to 17.

Rather than extending the feat by 3" by relying on a kill with Bamfist you could just extend it by 2" by just craning Gorten around with an Iron Head.

Even better: wait until your opponent goes to the bathroom and then move all his models forward like a foot.
It’s a little unreliable, unless you plan ahead and keep offering them drinks the whole game, but when it works it is super-reliable and almost always guarantees a win.

Even better, put a laxative in his drink, so he WILL need to go to the bathroom.
