  1. The "pre-assembled" worries me. I didn't like how The Other Side's pre-assembled minis turned out.

    Here's a bit of speculation: does anyone else think Candy and Kade were left out because they'll have their own Halloween box? Imagine them coming with Iggy, all three dressed as trick-or-treaters.

    Very cool! I love the white, nice to see a different take on the crew.

    The fire effects are just hot (pun intended!)! Did you make them yourself? I've been wanting to do something similar for my Revenant crew, but not really sure how.

    The effects are from Wyrd's old Flame Base blister pack. All metal bits. In hindsight, I should have made molds out of those before using them.

  3. Some clarification: I wasn't the Mei Feng player, that was my friend Bill, who's not on the forums (I keep telling him it would help to look). My recommendations, based on what I read here, were that he should take Toshiro, some constructs, and play to the schemes. I didn't watch the game because I had my own match to play, which was why I got some details wrong. To be honest, it seems to me that Bill got at least a little psyched out by Reva, because some of the players in our group are convinced that book four is "breaking the game". I'm skeptical of that view and would rather reserve judgement until I get table time with and against the new stuff. Reva is most likely a puzzle that my meta has yet to solve.

  4. So, my friend got in his rematch this afternoon. This is what he brought:
    Mei Feng + 6 Pool
     - Vapormancy (1)
     - Thunderous Smash (1)
     - On Wings Of Wind (2)
    Emberling (3)
    Toshiro The Daimyo (9)
     - Blot The Sky (1)
     - Command The Graves (1)
    Samurai (8)
     - Favor Of Jigoku (0)
    Thunder Archer (7)
    Thunder Archer (7)
    Thunder Archer (7)

     

    The plan was to use Mei's Vent Steam to protect the gunline while they shoot down Reva's minions, and Toshiro tried to minimize the corpses. The Reva player brought the crew box with Jaakuna and a Rotten Belle. He left Emissary to make it a fairer fight. InvokeChaos was proven completely right. Toshiro could not reliably deal with the volume of corpses, struggling to have high enough cards and the proper suit. The Corpse Candles and Zombies from Maniacal Laugh made Toshiro's efforts ultimately futile. Reva and Vincent's healing and prevention flips allowed them to soak so much damage that the attacks from Mei's crew were meaningless. Reva eventually wiped out Mei's minions and prevented her from scoring any points. After the game, everyone (including our Henchman) came to the consensus that Reva is way overpowered. The Reva player has yet to lose a game with her, with most wins being blowouts.

  5. I don't play TT, but I am asking for a friend (who doesn't do forums): Any advice on how to beat Reva using Mei Feng? He is paired up against Reva in his next league game, but the last time he played against her, she utterly dominated the game, tabling his crew before it could score enough points. I don't know all the details of the game he played. His typical list tends to be:

    MeiFeng

    +Vapormancy

    +Seismic Claws

    +Misdirection

    Emberling

    Kang

    +Recalled Training

    +Blot the Sky

    TT Archers x2

    Rail Worker x2

    Freikorps Trapper

    He makes small changes for scheme pools and opponents, but these are the models and upgrades he favors. Kang keeps the Archers close to him while they whittle down targets, Mei kills little guys and/or tarpits, Trapper flanks, totems and Workers scheme run.

  6. The title sums it up. I tried two-part putty, which seems better suited for the wider gaps found on metals. I also tried Vallejo Model Color Putty, a liquid product that comes in a dropper bottle. It makes a big, chalky mess that doesn't even make it into the cracks. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong. I appreciate any suggestions that might be helpful.

  7. The preview art contained Molly, The Nanny, Necrotic Machine, three Crooligans and the Rogue Necromancy...but as the Rogue Necromancy has already been released separately I doubt very much that it'll be in the box. The rest of the models I listed are a good bet as the line up though.

    Where can I find this preview art?

  8. My daughter is nine and is starting to show interest in gaming. She seems most interested in card based games. Her math skills are strong, more so than my own at her age. I'm so proud of her (for obvious reasons), but I'm not sure how to encourage her without being too "Dad" about it. Are there any Dads here who can offer advice?
