So when I was looking at the new sylvaneth in age of sigmar I watched a GW painting video on the tree revanents and though i rely liked how they do their spirits, and coincidentally I play jackdaw, who uses a lot of spirits.

So I decided to paint my drowned, hanged, and guilty using their method, with some slight changes and also a challenge to myself.

So I primed the drowned in white, then painted the whole model using ulthuan grey. For the skin I then used  nihilix oxide with a drybrush of white. For the hair I used way watchers glaze followed by coelia green shade.

For the dress I used athonian camo shade, and for the underroos I used seraphin sepia.

That is right, aside from the drybrush and initial undercoat, nothing but glazes, shades, and washes(the oxide is technically a wash). I ran into one problem though, I have absolutely no clue how I should do the chains. I am thinking the easyish way and just painting it in vallejo rust effect or typhus corrosion.

Anyways what do you think?

I have been wanting to start learnign somer more probably summoner more then normal killy somer but i cant figure out how best to use the skeeters.

Does he work well with any gremlin factions? I thought about a fast gremlin horde (especially with reckless or drunk and reckless) But I wasnt sure if anyone tried him with gremlins.

My only complaint is the yammering.

You have to warn your opponent if anything would effect them if they declare so the action will never "fail" wasting an action, sure they wont take an interact action but they will just do something else instead, so honestly the immediate fail doesn't even really need to be in there.

I know it depends on what schemes and such but is a reduse reuse recycle list any good? Lots of piglets and taxidermists? Not sure what else but typing on my phone so keeping it short.

Working with what I have cause I am on a budget XD

I mean I figured i would start with no piglets on the board and rely on summoning via ulix and lenny to get my other 4 pigs out, but wasnt sure what else would work in the mean time.

So I am planning to start Ulix but I do not have many piglets(or pigs of any sort.

I essentially have a box of piglets and then a box of piglets i turned into stuffed piglets since they werent out at the time, Aside from that I do not have much swine related stuff, mostly starter boxes every everyone but brewmaster, some slop haulers, merris, sammy, and an extra box of bayous.

So mostly starting with that for now.

out of curiosity what list is you Henchmen running that seems cheap? 

I am not sure what special add on things or upgrades he has but  Hannah, Lazarus, void wretch, kill joy, and a freikorps librarian. Right now everyone in the game are gunning for hannah because if she gets another injury she is gone.

Basically my match versus my friend was the list I mentioned above versus 2 wicked dolls, 2 stitched together, vasalisa and widow weaver.

I only killed one stitched and one wicked.

I spent most of the game running the bayous higgledee piggledeeall over i wasnt even playing the game, this week we got to pick an extra scheme(I chose plant evidence) and we get 2 scrip for every vp from it. so I just ran around placing scheme markers and not dieing. lenny the slop hauler and trixiebelle just kept running away from everyone while lenny lobbed artillery pigs, hell it made me wish I owned ulix because the two summoned pigs were the bane of my friends existence. But yea it is why I was kind of leaning to somer because expendable gremlin swarm sounded funny.

and really in this case when i say be annoying I mostly mean running around not dieing, I know bayous are squishy and die easily but having them all over the place and just kind of playing keep away

Honestly if I wanted to really piss people off I would just play my main jackdaw, the few times I have brought him out i am generally being cursed at.

The problem is I cant play next week which means that the week after next I will still only have 7 scrip to work with an masters are 15.

Okay so our store started a new league based around some special rules in shifting loyalties.

I am a week behind and most people are essentially out for blood, or basically being cheap as they can be.

Originally I was going to play outcasts since I am learning them but when i learned how the game is played there were no outcast armies I could build at henchman only level that wouldnt be shooting myself in the foot later(especially taking eventual injuries into account)

When I learned how it works(kind of a blood bowl/ mordheim style) I realized my options were to play a system that will inevitablly not be really fun for me, or just not play at all. Hell even our henchman is basically making the cheapest list possible thanks to buying extra stuff with scrip.

Anyways i did the best I could I made a list consisting of 4 bayous, a slop hauler and lenny lead by trixiebelle, figuring I will eventually(if i get enough scrip) get either somer or mah tucket.

pig chucking was usefull hell the two summoned pigs were the stars of the game(sadly dont own ulix and cant afford)

All in all I lost but I honestly had more fun just being annoying as I possibly can, and there is no way I can even catch up as I cant play every weak so I will always be a weak or two behind. 

So my options right now are just dont go to the game store for two months till we get back to normal games, or B make a Gremlin army as gremlins were made to be played.....to be annoying freaking pains in the arse.

The masters i own are ophelia, mah tucket, somer, and wong, I dont really own anything outside of their stuff aside from some mercs and piglets.

So please help me to be annoying

So she is coming soon and I want to get her for my JD crew but I was curious, what is her story? and what is with the little kid? Is she protecting her or what?

Everyone at my store that plays levi goes iron so me being the special flower i am i plan to go bone, is there anything i can take that can use corpse tokens?

I know it sounds like a cop out of an answer, but I field what I believe to be the best answer for my opponent, my play style and the strategy and schemes. Is my opponent declaring Resser's, Taelor is in. Goblins? Lazarus.

That being said, I do have a base crew of a Guilty, a Trapper, Sue and 1-2 X-Roads 7. ita not ultra competitive, but it is fun. And really surprising when things click.

Yea my mistake in the second game was i should have just taken as many scheme runners as possible.

I completely agree.  If the map doesn't have good cover, Im less likely to use her,  as she does have a big target on her.  But if I can assure myself that I can keep her Safe and usable until turn three, she is in my list.  One of the things that I found about any Daw list, is that everything in the crew can do something that will disrupt the opponents plans. So  basically, I've given my opponent a number of bad choices to go after. Not matter their choice, Daw is going to punish them for it.

What do you usually take?

Yea I sometimes wonder if JD even needs a totem, I should give lady liegia a try sometime though

So far I have only played him twice both times I kind of forgot the schemes and strats but focues more just learning jack and his crew

First match i ran a bit more typical

Jack

Montie

a guilty

malifaux child(I keep taking him and I keep doing little with him haha)

Greed

Sue

a hanged

Second match I ran 

JD

child again

Wrath 

greed

Lust

a hanged

a crooked man

First match was agasint marcus I started losing early on but suddenly gained speed and decimated his crew, points wise I won by one

second match our local henchmen wanted to run gaining ground for some reason and had no clue what I was doing so just focused on trying to learn my crews mechanics.

I learned, I hate wrath duded dies to a stiff breeze. I love lust(I feel a pun is in there). I am not sure if I would prefer pride to greed. Also even though a lot of people say montie isnt that great I love him because his noose saved sue . Malifaux child for me has been great in theory but not practice, if twist and turn let me take 0 cost actions double driven by injustice would be great. But sadly the childs flips are rarely there when i need them.

Last problem i had was killing, sure jacks curses can kill but it tends not to kill in a useful way for vp. In fact most things he takes are not directly killy. Going to try bishop to see if he works well for that though.

I also own drowned but havent messed with them yet.

I honestly do love that when i play jack daw people hate him and the hanged XD not sure what it says about me that I like to play things that are not cheesy yet are still some how frustrating to play against XD.

I probably overextend with jd a lot but oldest magic helps and he can usually bamf himself free.

I am mainly using jack daw right now or as my local game store is calling him "the @$&hole". I also have levi and might eventually focus on a third(not sure who yet maybe hamlin) but i primarilly main jd.

How well does aionus work with these two?

Does anyone have advice for effective timelord use?

How often does it and riptide actually come up?

At least on my local meta nobody really seems to use hazardous terrain. But I was just curious if drowned are worth it when there is no hazardous terrain.

With my drowned purchase this thurs i will have all the tormented i can currently buy. I mostly play JD, leveticus, and gremlins. And i cannot decide what to get next. I am leaning towards bishop, aionus, convicts, hodgepodge, hans, or ama no zako

I suppose something resembling a mind befuddled battle report is in order.

So it was against my friend who was using marcus for the first time.

I was using JD, a guilt, greed, malifaux child, greed, sue, montressor, and a hanged.

He had Marcus, cerberus, blessed of december, jackalope, 2 silurids, and whataver that girl skinwalkers name is lol.

it was standard deployment, turf war, I chose murder protege(a mistake), and protect territory.

I won by probably 1 point.

Let me see what I can remember, damn marcus lists are fast, damn guilty die fast, malifaux child would be great save for his ca stats. 

I probably deployed my hanged wrong having him try and deal with a silurid most of the game instead of the blessed and cerberus that were going straight up the middle. First turn was basically make sue tormented, and rush the guilty forward. by the second turn it was eaten by the blessed of december.

Montresor's throw is funny I basically fired into melee thinking, jd, cerberus, or sue either I save one of them or both of them XD and if JD isnt saved( he wasnt) I used his various movement shenanigans to free him. ghost of malifaux let me play hyper aggressive, At one point after saving sue I then had him head toward the turf marker and used jd's ghost of malifaux plus the move all tormented abiliy(driven by injustice?) to move JD Sue and the blessed(who was cursed up and down) towards marcus who was on the turf marker. 

my friend hates crossroad auras and JD curses.

the wiki is right oldest magics is not something you can rely on to stay alive) though he barely survived.

I dont think I really had anything to deal with the silurids, in hindsight I should have left greed to deal with them he got max plant evidence.

I kept forgetting that I could have forced his mobs to take terror tests against the hanged that might have helped(though blessed or cerberus were the first moves each turn so it might not have helped that much) 

I may try and remember more later but all and all I love JD I need a lot more practice as he is complicated as all hell.

No I jsut need to decide what to order next after I get the drowned, thinking convict gunslingers, aionius, bishop, or hans, I probably should get ama no zako at some point but not sure who else I would use her with(only playing gremlins and outcasts)

I just would like advice on pariah of bone everyone at my store runs iron. Is there anything that can use corpse tokens at all that he can take?

First game with him got accidental awesome use, fired into melee to pull a cerberus away from jd, sue, and the child....pulled sue instead. Basically saving sue and setting up for an insane flank where jd ghosted into marcus's face and sue came to support. After that i just scheme ran with monty.

Me and my friend did theorize that pandora might be a good place for him, damned if you do damned if you don't. 

So i plan to play jd for the first time this week and was hoping for some advice.

I have his crew box minus 2 guilty

A malifaux child, 3 crooked men, 2 hanged, Sue, the crossroads 7, and levi's box.

Not necessarily list building advice more synergy and strategy advice on how best to use my assests.

Okay I know making an actual miniature chair would be pretty basic, two long sticks, two shorter sticks a flat seat and flat back but here is the catch, I am going to have greed of the cross roads seven standing on it as it is tipping over.

and I am magnetizing my bases....

so I need to figure out the best way of attaching greed to the chair and the chair to the base without it or her, popping off. 

Basically back foot will be on the seat front foot will be on the top of the chair's back., I was thinking of making the chair back and seat out of plasticard so the glue bond will be stronger. and was just wondering if anyone had any ideas.

I remember someone mentioning at one point he works very well in a jackdaw crew but they didnt mention why so I wanted opinions on that if posible (as I happen to have a small noose from an old warhammer minature of some form that would be perfect on the little blighter)

Also can Wrath when leading a crossroads 7 crew take a totem like malifaux child?

Seriously how do they not have a roadie totem?D

For my outcasts I am planning old west badlands style basing and figure I would make one or two tumbleweeds and have been having trouble locating how I would do such a thing.
