  3. Paid for Adam Perry, Ben Worsfold, and Max Fawcett for EA only. Looking forward to it already!
  4. Ticket purchased! Really looking forward to this one after last year's excellent event. Also... tickets are currently only £40, I don't know whether that is intentional or not, but grab them at this price while you can!
  5. What do you find the Kurgan useful for?
  6. I've just had a game with Nexus1 and quite enjoyed it! Was guard the stash vs Marcus2 and we called it at the top of turn 3 when Marcus had 4 models to my 12... One question I have - Spell Eater's down to the last drop bonus. If I target an enemy model with a parasite token, it takes one damage from the action. Does that mean the opponent has to take the Df 12 duel or gain a parasite token from the trigger? As it says enemy models damaged, which it would have been when it was treated as the friendly Cadmus model.
  7. Welcome back! I'd pick Seeker as, while their chronicles can appear to be tricky to remember, the key word doesn't suffer if you forget them occasionally. The Key word is strong and versatile to handle most pools, and quite forgiving of mistakes thanks to it's healing. Wastrel is also a good pick, very versatile, but I think it has a complicated unpack, if you want to leverage more of the upgrades and handing them out to gain more bonuses etc...
  8. I think the goal for the ExS player is to have Jedza2 "fully-loaded" before she activates on turn 1, which is to say, she will have 3 life tokens and Focus +2. Depending on how you build your crew and flip cards, you will find 2/3 life tokens and focus +1 to be the usual starting point, which is no bad thing as Jedza2 could focus herself if their aren't enough markers/enemy isn't close enough to launch Dredge Up attacks. Ways to get Life tokens: Grave Goo regen (guaranteed) Winston's Dirigible ride with on a seeker model. Needs a 6 but Fortune's favour helps as does Price of Progress Lamplighter's Unnatural glow. Needs a 5, targeting a seeker model (Jedza2 is my go-to) Sophie's Candelight. Needs a 6 Kurgan's Mudslide. Needs a 6+ Jedza2 at full health can also "refund" a life token via Death Touch killing a model. You could also include Yaksha and the Hopeful Prospect here, but these are not options I have explored. Ways to get focus: Sophie's grab from the pack. Needs a 6 Effigy's galvanize trigger. You need to attack something within 3" of Jedza/Jedza herself and have a . It will set something on fire, but the effigy can assist to put that out. Tannebaum's Haphazard topography. Needs a marker and 6+ Jedza can focus for an action. With a Hopeful prospect, Jedza could also gain focus +1 when killing something. My core will be Winston, the Effigy (with upgrade) and a Lamplighter. I do often find a place for Tannenbaum, even if I think the Haphazard topography is not a reliable source of focus I find cleaning out Jedza's deck (Notes) for turn 2 a useful alternative. Depending on the game/board/opposing faction I'll then add the Kurgan/Vatagi as I think I need.
  9. The Paint train rumbles on and these two missed the October deadline but set me up for a big November. Thanks @Shock & Awe for keeping us on the right track, and best of luck with your dissertation. Having supported my wife as she spent two years (part-time) working on her Master's dissertation, I have some idea of the mountain that lies ahead of you... bring some rope, and some snacks! Here is Jedza2 and the Kurgan! Black Friday has never been a big draw for me, less so now as an ExSo player.. there aren't any limited edition bits for us.... yet! However, I AM looking at getting an FDM printer to make a terrain pile of shame! It would sit alongside my Resin one, which I have managed to keep to only a moderate amount of shame
  10. You can tell it is ramping up to the UK National tournament (19 days to go!) and with the fully-painted requirement in place, here is my October contribution: Botanist, Eva Havenhand, and a Hopeful Prospect Machinist, Maxine 1, and Harata Ngaatoro Dr Bebee, Maxine 2 (and the reason for bright pink tentacles ), and Orville And finally, the Giant Puddle (Tide Caller) and the Effigy! All clocking in at.... 83ss!
  11. You are correct, thanks for making it clear as I hadn't.
  12. You could hire two and get them to make extras using their trigger on the push. Not reliable since you need tomes but potential. With all the marker removal masters around, you will know at master reveal whether you are facing one and plan accordingly.
  13. A marker MUST be removed from the board in order for Botanist to get a grow token. It doesnt count as removing a marker if the model suffers damage instead of being removed (So the Corpse Curator and Kurgan won't count)
  14. If Botanist start their activation in Severe terrain, they heal one (Planted Roots). Mudslide and Moorwraiths have severe terrain auras. Nothing to do with Grow tokens.
  15. If you do get the ruling that auras count as terrain then Botanists will also heal 1 when the Kurgan puts up the mudslide aura, or when they start within 2" of a Moorwraith. This will proc. Chronicles but will need someone to damage them. Maybe Sophie?
  16. Well I managed it! The desire to use Oil wash to get a Grimdark version of Jedza overcame the grind of painting Sophie's details. Completing Sophie spurred me on to finish the Damned and 2 Surveyors. 1 to use in Seekers and the other to use in Syndicate. All this plus the Nexkids and Creeper means I tap out at 71ss for the month!
  17. Thanks @Moinetbeard! Yes it really does... but damn that keyword has a lot of minions 😆 The Egg cases are things I 3D printed, same with the mites that cover the crew. Variety of colour was something I wanted to try since my comfort zone is definitely limited palette. Thanks for noticing!
  18. Insidious madness all the way! There is almost no way to paint them "wrong" and you can really just let the colours fly and see what comes out. I liked painting the Berserker husks (Cadmus) for the same reason. Once your skin is ruined by parasites, it can be any colour you like.
  19. Kogan Style reporting in! So far this month I have finished the NexKids and the Creeper Which, thanks to the kind comments and encouragement from this group means I have finally finished a keyword! Currently I have Jedza on the painting table... but starting to suffer burnout. Sophie is just such a big model with all the little details, I'm finding it hard to pick her up and deal with them. Will see how I go
  20. For Nexus there is no way to remove the parasite token once you have given the enemy one. It is a token so it cannot be removed by actions that remove conditions. Because it is a token and not a condition, the SpellEater cannot use Transmutation to change a condition into a parasite token. In Nexus crews you will never give the opponent more than 1 parasite token. If a second one would be given, then the model suffers 2 damage instead (Will of Cadmus upgrade) The title version of Nexus (One of Many) can remove parasite tokens to affect the duel total via its Forced reaction ability. In Nexus One of Many crews, you can hand out multiple parasite tokens.
  21. I like Hidden Agenda as a deterrent if assassinate is in the pool, but FWC does a similar job. I do think the ping damage is useful, especially with Cooper2 as a defensive measure as if they cheat, they will trigger scent of blood. This can be used offensively as well if you have a bad control hand and don't flip well. If the opponent cheats to win the duel you can ping them for one damage and trigger scent of blood so you still get to attack them. I don't know if you can proc. Scent of Blood twice if opponent cheats and you still win the duel as it would be two separate sources of damage from Cooper2, but dumping 2 cards from the control hand would be expensive. EDIT: With the FAQ stating that a model won't do an action that would kill itself, can a 1 health model cheat a duel with a Hidden Agenda model? Like others, I think Treasure Map is a GG3 staple. Being able to shift into scoring positions for Covert Ops/Guard the Stash in the End phase is very valuable, alongside Hydranixx's comments about scoring/denying schemes. Flush with Cash on minions is very useful in the start phase as you can cheat initiative (hopefully winning) then discard 3 cards to replenish your hand back up to full (4 cards). going through 20% of the deck (assuming no cards held from previous turn) can give you a good read on whether you can push your luck or hold back depending on what has been seen/discarded. TL:DR ExSoc upgrades are amazing, with Hidden agenda being the least amazing, but still really good in certain situations.
  22. Managed to not black joker the marriage flip and still squeezed in some time to paint a mini! Thanks @DemiMurgos for your kind words @OctaBit I've been there, sometimes even the "pressure" of this challenge has gotten to me and I just don't want to do it, but I've found that what works for me is to immerse myself in hobby inspiration, or passive hobbying as I think of it. I watch YT vids of painting styles, battle reps, read up on other aspects of the hobby; essentially engage with the hobby BUT don't actually DO any hobby. I find that if I'm in that slump this immersion rebuilds my enthusiasm and rekindles the spark of joy I feel when I build a new model, convert something, paint, or play a game with friends. Then at some point I'll feel inspired enough to paint a mini, usually in a paint scheme I saw on a video somewhere 😆 Anyway here is my effort, Tannenbaum from Jedza's crew... although despite his competitive damage track he is seldom seen on the battlefield, probably mapping the nearest exit to the fight!
