So, the preface.
 
Tara isn't a world killer and likely won't be getting the job done on her own, but is highly versatile and, most importantly (for me, at least), has a cool theme.
 
She's pretty well-rounded and has no exceptional characteristics apart from her high volume of actions. Her main strength is having a lot of tricks, and interestingly it isn't crushing if you lose her, since she's more often assisting than doing the heavy lifting herself. Her crew tends towards a very high action count, which makes it able to switch between a focus on objectives and straight fighting, though I think her style still ultimately favors objectives.

I've found that she's most rewarding to play right near the front lines, closer than you usually want your support piece, as her strongest abilities and tricks require her and her allies to be very near enemies. Combined with pretty average stats and the fact that she's regularly going to be emptying your hand, this places her in the category of a finesse/tricks master.
 
On to my supah-long Tactics article, because it's way too long to reformat that again here, especially since I plan to continue updating this with experience.

(if you've got questions, criticism, etc. here or my blog are both fine)

Not tactics, but related insofar as being Tara-based:

I spent quite some time working on these cards, and think they look pretty damn good. Like I said on my blog, I'm not going to post the backs unless I get the official go-ahead from Wyrd, since this is fan art, and I don't want to step on anyone's toes. Also, feel free to print them, etc, but please give credit/links.

Stunning work on the cards, if someone were to have told me they were official I would not have batted an eyelid.

Thanks! I've left out a few details largely because I wanted them to be be noticeably different on a superficial level (the missing blood spatter above the profile pic is a dead giveaway if you're seeing them with others) so no one would accuse me (or anyone else who printed them) of trying to slip something past them, but tried to get very close.

I'm planning on doing some more of these for my favorite minis that didn't get to 2e (the rest of the Dead Justice crew, the Teddy with the kid, maybe others) and for a few other things down the line (quick reference cards, including summon lists)
