Carrion Emissary and a Nurse when I was playing ressers,  I'd take them in every list. I stopped for the last few games I played but spent the entire time thinking "If I had Carrion/a Nurse i could have..." 

For funsies, take two Nurses and a Carrion with the generic Conflux. on the attack flip makes them rude, and the fact that they can chain into each other....

At this point, I'd have zero problems with any wave 4 or wave 4 proxies (assuming they reach the GG 2016 threshold for conversions/proxies).

Bring it on, all of it!

The trickster skin wearer sounds awful...ly delightful. Fingers crossed, we win this one.

You should have discussed how pumped 2/3 of the winning team looked. 

I'll take the complaints about Reva, and file them in the "Nekima/Collodi/Neverborn In General" Drawer. It's about time we got a scary, scary master in terms of damage. All you have to do is get to her, and she's toast, the same as Asami. It's our job to make that hard as Colossus wearing a diamond overcoat. 

Yeah, how did we Yanks beat you to that?

I love this cast.

I think @PeregrineFalcon listens as well.

It reminds me of Podhammer for Malifaux, a bunch of very amusing friends sitting around and talking about something they love. 10/10, would paint models while listening to.

 

After round 2 those top 6 tables are brutal.  It's one top player after another.

You ain't lyin', bub. It was a veritable who's who of heavy hitters.

Hey, for the majority of markers, 30mm is the standard size. Scheme, Corpse, and Scrap are the big requirements, 10 each is a good start

Remember, a crooligan's place is only 5 inches, meaning the Stake a Claim marker would be in range to be removed once the crooligan interacts again. It's the same with the Necropunk who has a 6 inch leap. When the (2) interact is done, all Claim Markers in six inches of the model interacting are removed, friend *AND* foe. So, neither can get far enough away. I think Sulirids leap farther, and therefore are Stake a Claim champs.

The number are pretty tight. However, you might be able to still get in/get on a waiting list. Someone's bound to have an uncle's cousin's brother's former roommate have an appendectomy that they can't avoid, and you might be able to take their place.

You never know.

It's not the same genre, but the audible recording of "The Blade Itself" is amazing dark/gritty fantasy and is well narrated

My problem with Crooked Men is not that they're bad, but are they 5ss Nurse/Rotten Belle good? I don't think so.

 

Oh, I agree, but this situation can easilly be mitigated on deployment so as to not be able to reach the master and terrain is still a thing. You will cause mayhem against someone not on guard, but once people get savy I'd expect it to be a lot less useful to send the candle forward that much instead of keeping it closer to the centre or next to objectives.

I'd agree. I that's why I lean toward the other limited.

 

Again, what stops sonnia from immediately activating out ofthe radius.

Absolutely nothing, but it forces her to spend AP moving in a direction she might not wish to. It might cause her to activate Sonia before she has any valid targets. Your opponent is reacting to you, not acting against you. And any AP she spends on walking is not an AP spent on blasting...

 

Due to the wording the closest you can deploy from Sonnia is 8.1"; and after a walk and a 0 from the Candle the closest you could leave a corpse to her is 3.1".

30mm is over an inch. This can be done.

I tend to use them more with Jack Daw. Their biggest weakness (wk4) is mitigated with the boost from his movement shenanigans. I tend to use them when my opponent declares Guild.

 

I understand that. The problem is that Guises of Death says that you cannot place the Candle with 8" of another model and a Candle's walk is only 4. 

And you get the extra inch from placing the corpse marker on the leading edge of the Candle's base.

 

I'm a little confused about how you managed to attack Sonnia with Reva threw the Candle's corpse with those activations... It doesn't seem like Sonnia would be in range of attacks through the corpse unless she walked into range herself. 

I think the play is that you move it first activation, and then use its zero, killing it and dropping a corpse marker within 3 inches of your target. 

 

Given it's a legal proxy for a -different- model, I can see where allowing you to use it as a proxy for Archie may cause confusion.

That's the problem I would have as well. It's a damn shame, as Sim 29 is really, really ideal.

 

Some fantastic advice in this thread. The only thing I'd suggest from my own experience is that while Punk Zombies are okay at killing things, Shikome are about a zillion times better if you can spare that slightly higher card.

It's that "Ignore Armor" trigger that really helps.

I took  Reva list without Blood Mark, just to try it. I still won, but i missed it the entire time. Shieldbearers also punch above their weight. Heyreddin is also an interesting addition to the mix, if you can set it up where he's next to Reva's chosen target

Just you, though.

Regarding the new upgrades, the answer is no, for the sake of consistency. The upgrades are new, unfamiliar to most, and that spells disaster for competitive events. They *ARE* legal in the Narrative, as are all Wave 4 models.

Speaking of Wave 4 models, Aionus is the exception to the rest of the Wave 4 models, but for good reason. He is not a new model, having been released early. Most of us have familiarity with him, or at least have been given a chance to get familiar with him. In that context, Maht and I can see no reason he would not be allowed.

Seeing how the city board came out, I'm looking forward to this one.
