Ludvig Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 I'm going to be using avatar Zoraida pictured below (not my work) as my emissary. To differentiate between hungry land markers from the emissary and consuming land markers from Lilith I though I would replace the grumpy dude behind Zoraida with a snakepit and make the hungry lands into snakepits to tie in with the model. This leaves me one grumpy swamp dude that I'm not sure what to do with. Any suggestions what he would make a good proxy for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosfr Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Do you already have Bad Juju? It looks like the old metal Bad Juju, and since he hangs out with Zoraida, I think that was intentional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I shpuld have specified that I have her set and McTavish as well as plastic waldgeists. Maybe it could be that spidery thing that buries itself? It looks like some sort of shadow-being with a little imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grootslang, they are camouflaged hunters that live underground? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 I like the sound of playing it as a grootslang. Cool model but it costs like a starter kit for a single 6ss model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Yeah, Grootslang should be perfect. You can have it emerging from its lair. Also, a cool idea in general! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I respect Wyrd's decision to go big, it is a mythical elephant snake after all! Unfortunately the price and transportation implications kind of make it hard for me to justify getting the official model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The range of textures and skin features left me baffled! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted October 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 This is technically not the land being hungry but I think they get the point across and weren't too hard to make. The snakes for the emissary proved harder or qt least more time consming. Gator markers https://imgur.com/gallery/J8yLR 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azkral Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 The problem is that you want to put miniatures over them, so they must be almost plain. I wanted just to use painted bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted just to use painted bases. Did you see the gators in my link? I'm just going to put water effect around them. I've used that thickness for all my markers so far and it hasn't caused any problems. I guess with the silly amount of markers that Lilith, the emissary, a grootslang and a few waldgeists will be putting out I might run into stacking problems at some point.

Sol_Sorrowsong Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Oh, someone else is better for this. I just have off memory. It is an upgraded will 'o wisp with the same "lure" type call forcing next walk towards this model. It had something to do with scheme marker placing or being a scheme marker or something and its attack healed it. It also had a tactical 2 (to be used by wisp) that did some damage. And I think it had a 0 but can't recall what it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Tanks Sol! Sounds interesting as well. I had intended to try my new gator markers yesterday but since my entire crew had black blood I swapped them for her new blood upgrade instead. As it turned out I would probably have had a hard time getting good use out of the markers so it was just as well. The scheme markers from killing models with black blood didn't come up once and the cards mostly sifted trash from the deck for me but that heal was amazing for her! Barbaros forcing everyone to attack him and getting healed by Lilith proved to be pretty great, I don't get why people give him such a hard time, he was easily my mvp for that game. I was up against a thematic Collodi list with a very limited model pool which I think gimped his game a bit. Considering I was playing a grow list and had forgotten Lilitu and my matures at home I'd say we were pretty matched in terms of list optimisation. Nephilim are kind of meh against non-living stuff, especially my two young felt cheated out of their fast. Lilith rooting Collodi was 100% awesome though, I hate that sneaky puppet! As for Lilith's upgrade selection I don't see how I will ever leave home without wicked mistress and beckon malifaux, they just handle so many problems. I think the dangerous terrain one will end up working well with those two. I did find myself missing the wings of darkness since there was a big forest smack in the middle of the board so charging her in with her (0) up would have been nice but the healing saved my bacon and allowed me a 9-8 win so in the end it proved very useful.

It's got incorp, can count as a scheme marker where you discard a card if the marker would be discarded, and if the Whispers in the Night condition ends on a model within a small aura of it the model suffers 2 damage. Got a 1" 2/3/4 Ml with a built in trigger to heal the damage inflicted, has The Wisps Call, a (0) to give the Stunned condition, and a (2) tactical action that causes a model to pass a Wp duel or suffer 3/4/5 with a boost to the Wp duel if the model isn't within a certain distance of a model it considers friendly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Thanks @santaclaws01! It sounds like I need wisps to make it worthwhile. I could see that for Lilith running a swamp crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm most interested in using them in a Titania crew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
