Datsue Ba is in almost all my lists with Kirai. Anna Lovelace is incredible against Ten Thunders. Summoning The Hanged models are incredible and irritate your opponent to no end. I've played with Goryo a few times, and each time they pay off for summoning them. Izamu is nice to swirl him into models or for placement. Yin-believe it or not, is a very useful model to lock down certain models with, especially since Kirai can shoot into combat without randomizing. Belles....just can't go wrong, even after their "cuddle", they're still incredible. Crooligans have become my favorite scheme runners. And they give -1 to wp for Datsue and Ikiryo

Its a very dirty list. Esecially if it can rally an Izamu and have him taken downin one round by 3 models.

It'll work if you use Yan Lo as a caster....no chi in path of bone, definitely go for rigor mortis. Would want at least two ancestors and max of 3 to up that damage to 5/6/7 if lucky. Yin would be an auto include for one of the ancestors....hasn't been a game where I didn't have fun with The Hanged and Yin to make things terrified to run, but only to get stopped by wicked. And if Izamu there, that model will be scared to death.

I'd try a non tournament game with Toshiro/Izamu/ Datsue just to see how that goes. But getting that high crow card and actually being able to keep it for Toshiro is way too difficult. Could build up 4 tokens with just Izamu and two activations, would only be able to get one Pz or Ashigaru out......but the chance of having two high crows in your hand for it is way too low to be a reliable strategy.

He gains conflict tokens and plus to attack flips with just undead yes.....but if he's being used as a utility piece to give undead/spirits extra walks, then he's just fine. I personally wouldn't take Toshiro and Datsue together, but if he's looking for shennanagans for line in the sand, then that might be it.

I would drop Chiaki, she just never performs well to be worth her points. Especially for line in the sand. And only 4 stones for Yan Lo is just flat out brutal. I'd drop Chiaki, Onryo, and the night terrors for Datsue-Ba and 2 desperate mercs, and 2-3 dogs. Move the mercs one walk...turn them into onryo or the other thing and give them a free walk.

Izamu has been brilliant as usual. Yin is phenomenal, especially if you run The Hanged with her. So far that's my favorite pairing. Toshiro has been neat, but not as fun as the others.

Datsue-Ba has always been that odd model for me. Either she gets taken out fast, or left alone the entire game. Whats worked well for me with her is keeping her slightly behind a bit in battles and jumping on wounded enemies. Especially if they're living, have low wp, and/or have armor.

Yeah, make Seamus not suck.

Its all about how people play the game. Nicodem does break the game with Rafkin if you can't get rid of his corpse counters early. No one likes seeing 6+ flesh constructs in two turns to put them up 56+ stones in a35 stone game. Just like Pandora can break the game rather easily with stitched together and Collodi. Seamus just gets left in the....dirt....compared to other rez masters.

Yes it is, its called Izamu. Just watch out for the Viktorias. They'll make short work of a spirited Strongarm.

Thanks....thats 30 there....the last 2 points was for the soul porter to push Izamu around.

An all rezer family would be just ancestors. Would only really be for poops and giggles considering you only really need two ancestors to max the certain playstyle you're going for. I wouldn't take Toshiro with Molly in any game though....Molly wants high crows, Toshiro wants them, and Yan Lo sort of wants them. That fight for crows is terrible to play with. And with Molly, you're going to want to run 7 id not 8 stones.

Molly's Terrible Secrets spell. It was Yan Lo, Molly, Datsue-ba, Izamu, and 2 desperate mercs transformed into Onryo.

I know right Jewomie! Her handing out -2 to df and attack flips destroy people. That and actually getting off her twisted mind trigger on a few models helped Yan Lo fragile bonds to them. Summoning Sybelle from the corpse of Collette and a showgirl was pretty nice too.
