''The normally dour Sir Dreyfus has found new joy in life, thanks to a most unusual partner. While raiding the shattered remnants of an old bank vault, Dreyfus first encountered the lovable gobber Flubbin. They were, at the time, on opposing crews, both seeking the same loot. During the battle, Dreyfus fostered respect for the small gobber’s combat prowess, while Flubbin became infatuated with the “Funny talking shiny guy in the flying suit of armor that is gonna be SO MUCH BETTER THAN MY BALLOON!” After the heist, the pair left to start their own crew.

''Flubbin has made several modifications to Dreyfus’ Storm Knight armor, installing a “boomin’” propulsion system for maximum airborne velocity, as well as a tiny saddle to ride on. In return, she has agreed to help Dreyfus build a crew to patrol the wastes from the skies, intent on keeping the innocent folk of the world safe…if any are left.

=Thoughts on Dreyfus2 & Flubbin2=
===Dreyfus2 & Flubbin2 in a nutshell===
Less defensive than Dreyfus1, Dreyfus and Flubbin bring the stat line of the Storm Knight hero with the manic explosions of the tiny demo expert.

They go in they hit hard and fast then they run away and use flight to make it hard to pin them down.

===Combos & Synergies===
* He is just shy from one-rounding Archons with his output consistently, therefore he needs some help from the rest of your list to push statistics in his favour; ARM-debuffs, Signs & Portends, STR or damage buffs.
** Positive Charge from [[Stryker2]] or [[Jakes2]] come to mind.
** [[Maelok]] and [[Jaga-Jaga]] have Mortality and Signs & Portends respectively.
* As Dreyfus is still a Storm Knight, [[Lieutenant Gwen Keller]], the [[Stormblade Captain]], [[Major Katherine Laddermore]] and the [[Reliant]] + [[Stormclad]] still synergize with them.
* [[Captain Damiano]] - With +3 STR from the feat they kill Archons dead. ARM 20 is also pretty good.
* [[Lord Azazello]] - Same with as with Damianos feat, but En Garde and Duelist are pretty good on a DEF 13 solo as well. Beacon gives them a ludicrous threat range with Flight.
====Vengeance of Dhunia-only combos====
* [[Gunnbjorn2]]'s feat works on the gravity bomb. Brutal Damage still only affects the model directly hit but boosted blast damage still obliterates non-flying low arm infantry, such as [[Bile Thralls]] or [[Steelhead Halberdiers]].
* [[Hunters Grim]] - He has a damage buff to up their output and the feat is really good on them, as they can cover a large area with Mark Target due to their large base and Snipe lets Flubbin chuck her bomb further.

===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* As a large-base they cannot be a requisition option in most themes they're in. It also makes them hard to hide from shooting.
* Taking them means you can neither take [[Dreyfus1]], nor [[Flubbin1]], for what it's worth.
* Limited theme options for mercenary players, he is usually a Cygnar or Minion model.

===Tricks & Tips===
* Dual Attack lets you do your ranged attack at the end of a charge move but before your charge attack, and, as stated in the rules for charge attacks, you will still get boosted damage rolls on the charge attack.
* Thanks to Sky Dropped they are immune to blast damage from the gravity bomb, so get as close as possible to your target and chuck away. If you miss, you will lose out on Brutal Damage, but you will still always clip the enemy model for blast damage.
