  2. New to Zoraida

    in The Neverborn

    Posted

    The only problem Zoraida has with Teddy is that he's Immune to Influence (IE, no Obeys). That doesn't mean that you should never take him, as he has some pretty serious staying power which is a rare thing among Neverborn minions. Just be aware that if you do he'll be spending his own AP to move, charge, attack, etc. Plan accordingly.

  4. Lilith as Malifaux start?!

    in The Neverborn

    Posted

    Making Lilith the star is a very feasible idea. I once played in a brawl with Lilith + Seamus (not RM legal, but still fun!) against Zoraida and Pandora, and Lilith was definitely the MVP that game. She used Whirling Death and took out 3 Silurids and Bad JuJu at the same time :P

    Good analogy CannonFodder. Stepping away from the Alps I'd recommend checking out Stitched Together, Coppelius (he can do far more than just summon Alps!), and Lelu/Lillitu. They'll give you solid choices for your games and you can use them when appropriate.

  7. My First Malifaux Crew - Neverborn's The Dreamer

    in The Neverborn

    Posted

    I second learning shuffling with Dreamer/Daydreams. It will take a few games to really nail down, but when you do you'll be flying all over the board, striking fast and hard and getting out of Dodge before your opponent has a chance to strike back.

    I'd recommend checking out the Malifux tactica website if you haven't already:

    http://pullmyfinger.wikispaces.com/

    as it has a good deal of information on shuffling with the Dreamer and Daydreams. After you get used to playing with the Dreamer, Lelu/Lillitu are a great idea, and can be lots of fun with the Dreamer.

  10. Please brief me in :)

    I've seen it already. What I am asking is how the game works/plays, etc

    Aside from getting a demo (the best way to learn), I'd recommend a combination of reading the rules PDF and watching battle report videos online. Just type in "Malifaux" on Youtube, and you'll find a good amount of videos to show you how the game is played.

    This actually sounds like a pretty unique and effective list. Kudos for that! One thing I might toy with is swapping out 2x Lillitu & 1x Lelu for 2x Lelu & 1x Lillitu. 2x Lillitu= double the Lures, but 2x Lelu= more damage and survivability. If someone makes their way up to you, they've got 2 face eaters to worry about before getting to Lillitu.

  12. Seamus versus the Dreamer

    in The Resurrectionists

    Depends on the Dreamer player really. If he keeps running Alps, these tactics are sound. But as a Dreamer player, I try to never run the same list twice in a row to keep my opponents on their toes. Also, most Dreamer players get bored with Alp bombs after a few games with it, so unless he really likes it, expect him to change it up soon.

  13. My lilith list?

    Grow lists seem to be in line with the fluff that we have about the Neverborn. Every thing you read about terror tots mentions them growing into stronger and stronger nephilim when exposed to the blood of their enemies.

    While a grow list is Neverborn specific the idea of gaining more points worth of models is a mechanic widely used in this game.

    I would disagree with you here. The fluff we read on the Nephilim has them killing enemies and growing from their blood, not turning on each other (or in the case of a DM, an ally) to grow. It's very much fluff appropriate for a Resurrectionist such as McMourning to chop up his own creations to make something better out of them.

    While you are right that gaining more points worth of models is a mechanic used throughout the game, grow/mature is the Nephilim's version of that mechanic. A growth list is (in my opinion) just a way of abusing it. If you look at Nekima's abilities, she has a lot more to offer other Nephilim than just easy growth (giving a :masks to Cb to all Nephilim within 6"= autoflay for Young and Terror Tots).

  14. What to buy to start with Lilith?

    in The Neverborn

    Posted

    Welcome, fellow Mother of Monsters fan! :)

    I started with the box set and added a Cherub, Young Nephilims and Waldgeists. I've found that's quite effective for a "run in and beat them up" type tactic. Some of the Rising Powers models will give a bit more variety.

    Have you looked at the Malifaux Tactica?

    Drawing two, but discarding one - hopefully. :)

    Of course >_< my mistake for excluding the discard. It's still wonderful to take two above total and discard one that you don't want.

  15. My lilith list?

    Assuming you want a 35ss list, this is what I like to run:

    Lilith

    Primordial Magic 2ss

    3x Terror Tots 9ss

    Black Blood Shaman 6ss

    3x Young Nephilim 18ss

    Total: 35ss

    or

    Lilith

    Primordial Magic 2ss

    2x Young Nephilim 12ss

    Black Blood Shaman 6ss

    Lelu 7ss

    Lillitu 7ss

    Total: 34ss

    Both are great lists that don't rely on growing. You could also take 3-4 Terror Tots instead of the 2 Young on the 2nd list, but I'm a huge fan of Young Nephilim, so I usually keep them.

    Welcome to Malifaux David! With a Lilith crew, your first blister purchase should be a pack of Young Nephilim, as the starter box doesn't come with any. After that, everything else is to your taste.

    Some people only have a minimal number of Young/Terror Tot models and prefer to grow them to Matures as fast as possible. Some prefer lots of Young and Terror Tots, and then of course you have the Nephilim choices from Rising Powers (Lelu, Lillitu, Black Blood Shaman, Nekima). I'd recommend all four of the Rising Power models at some point, as they all add great versatility to a Lilith crew.

    Finally a totem choice (if you choose to take one). I personally love taking Primordial Magic with Lilith, since with her Rush of Magic and his Arcane Resevoir, that means you'll be drawing 2 above the max hand size for growing/melee attack fun.

  21. New player considering Zoraida/Collodi

    in The Neverborn

    Posted

    I'd definitely recommend Zoraida. Here are some good lists to get started with:

    25ss

    Zoraida

    Mature Nephilim 10

    Convict Gunslinger 6

    Stitched Together 5

    Insidious Madness 4

    or

    Zoraida

    Coppelius 9

    Convict Gunslinger 6

    Mature Nephilim 10

    or

    Zoraida

    2 Stitched Together 10

    Coppelius 9

    Young Nephilim 6

    You get the idea :)

  23. dreamer list?

    in The Neverborn

    Posted

    At the very least you'll want 2 Daydreams, preferably 3 for optimal shuffling. I'd recommend 1 Insidious Madness if that. My suggested lists:

    Dreamer

    Insidious Madness 4pt

    3 Day Dream 6pt

    Coppelius 9pt

    Stitched Together 5pt

    or

    Dreamer

    3 Day Dream 6pt

    Coppelius 9pt

    2 Stitched Together 10pt

    Personally I'd take an extra Stitched Together over an Insidious Madness, but it comes down to preference.
