I suspect that could be a scenario faced by several highly versatile masters? It's not a bad place to be really and from a casual play perspective, this Zip will be as fun as the first.

Am I right in thinking that you can choose to take the damage from her shockwave, place 1" from the trigger, allowing you to use the rift to place 8"? I am wondering if this, or anything else is a way of getting the 8" place during Asami's activation. Seems like a really fun idea but my fear is that the enemy can simply remove a rift before you have a chance to use it defensively to pull a model out. Offensively I suspect posession is a better way of launching a model forward though purely theorycraft at this point.

Hi, thanks for the replies, I guess what I meant to say was which of the two would be a useful drop into bad strat/scheme pools for Wong I have done some reading and the concensus seems to be that Mah and Zipp can do anything so either is probably fine. I am having a nightmare choosing a pair to get started with.

Apologies for the ever posted question! I am looking at playing a few practice games and for now I have Wizz-bang with most of the trimmings. I am looking at having something to nicely compliment Wong's playstyle (loosing according to forum :D) and have my eye on Infamous or Tricksy. Love both themes and models. Thanks.

Thanks, that's really helpful. I haven't found Brewmaster to be too NPE myself but that's probably because I mainly use him for obey, swill, pay up and binge (plus heals and moon shinobi pushes). I rarely try to play drinking contest style and his 2nd zero is really good imo. I will look into getting ophelia first I think. She seems like a perfect balance of silly fun and puzzle solving. I am a tad sad that both Ulix and Mah weren't mentioned, are they very straightforward in their approach?

I currently play Ten Thunders (Asami, Brewmaster and McCabe). I took a bit of a plunge into Neverborn and found them not to my taste, I loved their tricks and thoughtful play opportunities but I find the excessive reliability a tad mundane (lots of high attack stats and things that don't even require a duel). Hence my interest in Gremlins, I like the idea of a faction with lower reliability and fun moments of unexpected kills etc. I just worry that maybe they are simple and whacky. Can gremlins still give that experience of trickery and thoughtful play? If it helps I am currently interested in Wong, Mah, Brewie, Ulix and possibly Ophelia. I think Zipp might be the ticket but I heard he is kinda a NPE for my opponent.

thanks guys, I am liking both the Rackham miniature and the washed out harlequin. I'll give both a go and see which I want to stick with

I had the idea to paint Asami's Oni to be more ghost/daemon like and I wondered if anyone has any advice on how to try and paint things to look like it has limited physical presence. I tried hunting around and only managed to find tutorials on LotR models and it wasn't really the look I wanted. Is it mostly a case of using heavily washed out colours with extreme highlights? what base coat colour works best? white?

no good at all?

I am playing a game shortly TT vs Guild. Our pool is reckoning, plant explosives, protect territory, Bodyguard, plant evidence and line in the sand. I was planning to run Asami. model pool: sensei yu sun quiang wrath of oni mei feng box brewmaster box tengu x3 jorogumo x3 yamaziko toshiro punk zombie x3 dawm serpent terracota warrior x3 fermented monk x3

Arcanists - I am happy to throw in upgrades for any arcanist model in the wave 1 or 2 arsenal decks Rasputina (1.5 model, 1.5&2e stat card & upgrades) - glued and unpainted Wendigo (1.5 model, 2e card) - unpainted and assembled 3 ice gamin (1.5 models, 2e cards) - Partially glued and unpainted 3 ice gamin (2e models and cards) - NIB Snow Storm (1.5 model, 1.5&2e cards) - Partly glued and unpainted Ice Golem (1.5 model, 2e card) - glued and unpainted Blessed of December (1.5 model & 2e card) - glued and unpainted Kaeris (1.5 model, 2e card) unassembled and unpainted Kaeris (1.5 model, 2e card) Assembled and partly painted 3 Fire Gamin (1.5 model, 2e card) assembled and unpainted 3 Gunsmiths (1.5 model, 2e card) assembled and unpainted Ramos 2e box set including cards & upgrades- partly assembled and unpainted 3 arachnids - (2e models and cards) - unpainted 2 arachnid swarms - (2e models and cards) - unpainted Marcus (1.5 model, 2e cards) - assembled and partly painted Myranda (1.5 model, 2e cards) - assembled and unpainted Sabretooth cerberus (1.5 model, 2e card) - assembled and unpainted Razorspine rattler (1.5 model, 2e card) - assembled and unpainted jackalope (1.5 model, 2e card) - assembled and unpainted Essence of power (1.5 model, 1.5 & 2e card) - NIB 2 union minors (1.5 model, 2e card) 1 assembled, 1 NIB Collette Du Bois (1.5 model, 2e cards) NIB Neverborn Pandora Box Set (2e + all cards) - Assembled and unpainted Lilith Box Set (2e + all cards) - Assembled and partly painted I am looking to trade roughly equivalent models for 1 or more of the following : 1-3 Jorogumo with cards Asami's box Misaki's box 1-3 Tengu 1-3 Ten Thunder Brother 1-3 Oiran with or without cards Ototo with or without card Yan-Lo Box Yin, with or without card Izamu, with or without card 1-3 Komainu with or without cards 1-3 Wastrel with cards 1 Thunder Archer with or without card 1 guild pathfinder with card & trap Open to offers.

That's a shame, I really hoped Yin was a viable alternative to Izamu as while Izamu is clearly excellent I find him a bit uninspired and boring but I guess for Yan Lo there's no way around that...

So I was hoping for a bit of advice on what to grab next. I am currently in possession of Brewmaster box, 3 fermented monks, 3 terracotta warriors, shenlong box, wind serpent, yamaziko, sun quiang, and toshiro. I plan to buy some TT brothers and then either maccabe box or yan lo box. Depending on the master I will grab either yin/izamu or some guild hounds. Would also appreciate if yin or izamu are going to be a better call as I doubt I can fit both. Thanks in advance

Newbie looking for a practice game. Uk Time zone. I only have the original schemes and strats for now so no headhunter etc.

Thanks guys, I'll look at 'em.
