Alviaran Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Depending on the combat ability of Wastrels, I think they could be okay for Misaki at 4ss - I think they'll be good with Torakage as objective grabbers... But yeah, there do seem to be lots of decent 6ss + models... On the other hand, Traps seem very very cool for 2ss, so perhaps they'll be where I bulk out my activations - drop one 6ss model for 3 Traps... Actually, the Wastrels seem pretty decent in combat, especially for their cost. Both weapons are paired and through some of their abilities have REALLY nasty damage profiles. And with the Petrified Feather Castoff, one of them can teleport 18" once per game. Or just their usual 8" teleport for (1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroFire Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Ooooh, Wastrels with Torakage could be one of the best setups for objective grabbing in 10T. The Torakage could drop some smoke bombs so a Wastrel could use some secret passages, and then either a bury or a swap to move the Torakage up... Yeah, there could be a lot of utility there.

Yeah, I'm thinking it will be hard to resist that sort of combo ability for any strategy that involves objectives (which is most)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelious1424 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Tswaping Izamu into postion sounds like a boat load of fun!!! Edit: Izamu isn't a 10t model...so that won't work. So how about the Hungering Darkness!! Edited August 28, 2012 by Cornelious1424 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearLord Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Tswaping Izamu into postion sounds like a boat load of fun!!! He isn't a Ten Thunders model though, so he can't be swapped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yan Lo can be run as 10T....in which case he can take both a Torakage and Izamu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Laughing Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I don't think that's the issue (don't have book, can't confirm). I think the swap requires the target model to be a 10T model, not simply in a 10T crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Just went and double checked and you're right about the 10T requirement. Well, there are several good melee monsters you could do this with.....Ototo, Graves, Taelor (when with Misaki), Misaki herself, Hungering Darkness, Lucas, Mei, even Yamaziko might do.

FearLord Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Having seen more of the Wastrel's abilities now on the Guild forum, I'm thinking they will be a nice cheap minion to take for Misaki - they have some nifty tricks (that will combine well with Torakage tricks!) and don't hit too bad for 4ss... With the Strangemetal blade cast off they'll actually be pretty nasty fighters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Misaki doesn't have any decent 4ss models? The Oirans would like to disagree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) I worry Misaki is going to struggle a fair bit being out-activated - so you are going to need to bring a 10T bro to set up a companion chain unless you want whatever you swap in with the torokage to take a pounding. You can also take a couple of Clockwork traps to up your activations as well ---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ---------- Ooooh, Wastrels with Torakage could be one of the best setups for objective grabbing in 10T.

I have some experience with this combination in a McCabe run 10T crew. Its rather nasty. In fact Torakage moving McCabe is nasty as well.

Da Git Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Ok, so found out the name is Mistaken Identity... Is this basically the same as Copy Cat Killer's spell (except target 10T instead of Seamus)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Not identical, has a Rg: 12, needs to be targeted so you must be able to see the model your swapping with, and can only be used once per activation. Any similarities to similarly named abilities in other books is entirely coincidental. Edited September 6, 2012 by Ratty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
