Speculating on interesting Heart of Darkness casters: Gastonne is one who works as a good super-solo, who can field a small self sufficient battlegroup with accumulator, then field a merc heavy army backed by infernal solos.
Has anyone with more experience played him? Any sample lists?

Battle college suggests double halberds and an infernal gate. Did it once allow you to resurrect living models? Not really seeing much synergy with halberds as it is now

I'm pretty sure that's still from CID where it was able to resurrect non-souless grunts as far as I know. I think zhoe made that contribution so maybe he can shed some light on this. Anyway, given that Howlers are ARM 20 under dauntless the infernal gate might still be a good idea with him.

I going to try running this at some point, just keep bringing back howlers, healing them and slamming them back in while claiming souls to shoot stuff with gastonne and battlegroup conflictchamber.com/?cg201b_-1Djv8k8k7iotoqoqopofofokokououInfernals [Theme] Hearts of Darkness (Mercenary) !!! This army contains pre-release entries. [Crosse 2] Lieutenant Crosse, Resistance Fighter [+29] - Mariner [14] - Mariner [14] - Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator [4] Nicia, Hound of the Abyss [0(4)] The Wretch [0(4)] The Wretch [0(4)] Valin Hauke, The Fallen Knight [7] Cultist Band (min) [5] Cultist Band (min) [5] Howlers (max) [15] Howlers (max) [15] Infernal Gate [12] Infernal Gate [12]

I'd also recommend Runewood2, so you can pull Crosse back with Shadow after he overextrended.

Are there enough souls for everything though?

Has anyone with more experience played him? Any sample lists? Gastonne is the only one I think who appears in BOTH an Infernal Theme, and the anti-Infernal merc theme. Has to be an interesting story there.

Has to be an interesting story there. The story is that he tries to figure out his gun, which is why he delved into thamarite lore. At some point during that research he could have received a nudge into Infernalism.

Hearts of Darkness is less "These people are definitely infernalists" and more "These people have reasons and the personality that could lead them towards the infernals."

I'd also recommend Runewood2, so you can pull Crosse back with Shadow after he overextrended. unfortunately it's one of the 2 cultist units I would love to include a better unit for it but I can't find room for it I'd drop hauke for a dedcated unit in a heartbeat if knockdown wasn't so prevalent in my meta

Right....but he is still in both. And I think the only one who is in both.
