If only the international shipping for a single card wasn't so ridonculous.

Can definitely get by on one shikome while new to the game.

Are there any photos of the terrain anywhere? Always interested to see how they're laid out for official tournaments

It's definitely not a hindrance. Usually I'll round out my crew with night terrors, drowned, insidious madness etc. Fast minions. Turn one you've potentially gained 18ss worth of models at the cost of 4ss worth of models, the shikome can move around freely turn 1 while the other minions advance, then turn two swirl the 2 onryo up into combat after you've easily out activated your opponent due to all of your free minions and claw their faces off. While they're dealing with them your night terrors are free to run around as you can pile on even more spirits due to the fact that Kirai hasn't even spent any wounds and still has 5 seishin. It's an oppressive weight of numbers that your enemy either drowns in or wastes all their activations fighting, which has as much benefit in demoralising your opponent as it does in actual bodies on the table.

Found this while cruising around the interwebs. I can't speak for what this movie is about or if it's any good, but it sure looks like it was directed by McMourning!

d) all of the above, plus

e) a shiny Onryo instead of the Gaki if you cast it with a crow.

My first turn will usually involve summoning a Shikome then turning a Desperate Merc and a Canine Remains into Gaki/Onryo with Datsue, thus replenishing my Seishin and healing Kirai.

Winning.

But even with plenty of terrain, you still need to move your ice mirror target or raspy herself to have line of sight on someone, and with the lack of companion they get a turn to either gun you down or hide.

The Malifaux case is ok but I quickly outgrew it. At the moment I'm just using a mishmash of pluckfoam trays I've found at gaming stores. The problem with getting a nice custom battlefoam case is the shipping to Australia, it's horrendous because of the size of it.

Yeah I need someone to sit down and explain aColette to me haha

Hi all. I'm starting to play Arcanists as my main faction, having had a good run with my Ressers. I'm only going to be using Colette, Rasputina and Kaeris, and am a little intimidated to be facing the guild quite a bit as they're the main faction represented amongst my playing group. We announce masters at the start of the game before flipping for strategies rather than factions, so that just adds to it a bit!

I managed to narrowly score a win against Perdita last night with Raspy, but am not sure how I'm going to deal with Hoffman and Sonnia with their respective blast denial and counter spell, along with Sonnia's ability to target my master without LoS. Add in a liberal helping of hunter amongst their crews and it's hard to use the silent one to bounce spells through since to be able to see them, they'll be able to see her, and the Perdita and Sonnia players love their Nino.

So how do you win games with Raspy and Colette against the Guild?

Cookies for ratty then!

Sounds like they play different roles, snowstorm is there more for his movement, Thomas is there to punch people in the face. Season your crew to taste.

That sucks bro, maybe knock on that apartments door with a plate of cookies? Or cake, everyone loves cake!

You'd need the dog to sacrifice to bring Killjoy out, but I like the idea. Convince somebody to just let you run it anyway as a fun trial game, tell them in advance and see if they can build a list to beat it in shared slaughter or something

Jakob Lynch is being manipulated by a "Hungering Darkness"; my Willie has a lot of experience with ravenous pits.

Died laughing

Going with the cheerleader theme, a gamin pyramid!

If he relies on death I can see stitched being a problem, and Hamelin being easy

In "indoor" locations (which include sewers), all walls are considered to be infinite Ht.

Sonnia can't shoot over the walls.

How does that work with elevations though? We've been playing it that all the walls of the sewers are just height two so anyone standing on the second level can pretty much see everything. Facing Nino on elevated terrain is yet another reason why I rage quit terraclips haha

I really like the enigma bases from the coolminiornot store

Maybe there'll be a 2ss scavenger model in the new book you can Scavenge with and then kill to get all the counters you need for a Teddy early and cheaply. Then again may as well just give Zoraida her own faction called the Neveressers.

Hanged on 40mm bases?

Haha, the fun times are endless! Mcmourning + avatar, von moustache + gs, izamu, dead rider. Probably not the least bit optimal but have to run it at least once!

The other problem i have with the sewers and height 3 models is that there's pretty much nowhere to hide them. Most height three models have low defense and get annihilated by ranged with nowhere to hide. I really don't enjoy playing on the sewers, also likely because I'm sick of sonnia bouncing her blasts over the paper thin walls at me

Heh, what about running Izamu and Killjoy together for some massive beatdowns
