If you gain fans on the last tile they can go anywhere.

"If a Racer cannot place fans normally, they may place the fans anywhere on the track." Page 16

Thanks, that is what I thought.  I just wanted to make sure.

When you gain fans on the last tile, where are they placed?  Does it matter if the track is a closed circle?

So wicked dolls can give her adversary (enemy keyword) and force most of the other crew to always be at a - when targeting her. Lol

Only issue I see here is it would force you to activate the doll early to reapply the Adversary condition each turn since it disappears at the end of each turn

The eldritch magic upgrade gives a condition removal attack to up to 2 models.  Might be useful for 2 stones each.

Has anyone found good use of Maurice or Tuco with Lucius?  They provide some good ranged options which can be copied with 'Just Like You' on the changling making them a 2 model team to deny/protect a flank.  

 

Since Lucius cant obey Tuco or Maurice, his option would be to setup the Changeling so it can take 2 pot shots which have blasts.

Changelings can't copy attack actions, only non-bonus tactical actions.  Doppleganger and Agent 46 on the other hand...  I suprised my opponent a bit with a Neverborn gunline that way pairing those two with Angel Eyes.

Congratulations to the most stylish master of the Neverborn 🥰
 

If I play mature nephilim I want him stacked with focus. Since he can only concentrate once during his own activation I use Lucius’ „issue command“ to concentrate with him during the activation of Lucius. One or two changeling and lawyers can do the same. Chagelings use „just like you“ to copy „issue command“ from Lucius. Lawyers use obey. 

You can also use Lucius to Issue Command to a Lawyer to Obey a Mature, this will yield a card from the lawyer if you have less than your hand size or card cycle if at max hand size.

Everyone see that the Nekima box is on the Upcoming page now? Nekima, totem, 2 Matures and 2 Young with another box of 3 Tots and 2 Young

I really wish WargameVault would offer a bundle price for each of the faction packs. Getting the whole box a la carte is kind of expensive.

Looks like I was right, Awesome!  

maybe an Alt sculpt Pandora Box for Halloween?  Similar to what they did with Rasputina.

Terror Tots are pretty useless. So much so that Nephilim players don't hire them.  They used to be good scheme runners in M2E, but the took sprint away from them so they don't even do that anymore.  Attack is pretty weak and you are lucky if they can stick around long enough to grow.

Autumn Knights can't on their own.   Another model might be able to give them a suite (Pandora comes to mind).  As part of the conversion from M2E to M3E, Wyrd standardized a lot of the triggers.  The same trigger will have the same wording no matter which model it is on.  So, there are other models in the game  that have the puncture trigger that can used soulstones or get extra suits.

Can confirm.  Your list is undefeated cause you're playing it wrong lol...

To be fair, I think it is a dumb restriction. Makes Marcus weaker in Neverborn.  Why would she not be able to shift into a Sabretooth logically?

My NVBN Marcus list has been undefeated for about 5 games now.

Marcus -- Ancient Pact

Jackalope

Sabretooth -- Inhuman Reflexes

Marcus and Myranda are sitting back and laughing as the Avatar is creating a beautiful forest for Sabres to hunt in. Myranda is used to scheme as needed and then step in as a Sabretooth when one dies. 

My friends bash Marcus as a NVBN master. I am pretty proud I am making him work!

I don't think Myranda can shapechange into a Sabretooth when in Neverborn.  It says a Minion from the declared faction on the Beast Shape action.

So far the majority of 3e core boxes have been 6 or 7 models (Hamelin has 10, but 4 of those are rats so it’s expected).  Trying to fit the new sculpts into a crew that size and add on boxes is a little wonky with content so I’d expect to see t containing:

New Nekima sculpt.

Blood Hunter totem.

3 new Terror Tot sculpts.

2 New Young Nephilim sculpts.

New Mature Nephilim sculpt.

 

8 total, but with no henchman and the tots being quite titchy it isn’t unreasonable.  That leaves the current 2 young and the mature sculpt to get a 3e box together as their artwork is still on the cards.  Existing Nephilim players then get all of the new sculpts and the Blood Hunter in one box.  They’ll double up on Tots, but they are new sculpts at least and a few spares for Hayreddin’s summon doesn’t hurt.  If it had the current young and mature sculpts in it then I could see it annoying quite a few current players as they’d have to buy the core for Blood Hunter, doubling up on sculpts they already owned, and then pay for a separate box to get the new young and mature models.

The Blood Hunter is likely going to be a special order item, so it likely won't matter for players that already have nephilim.

M2e, I had a changeling Red Joker a damage flip against the Lucky Emmisary and kill it with it's own attack.

Where do you live?

Seattle-Tacoma area of Washington State.

Does anyone know where i could find one?  Is Wyrd going to reprint these?

Ended up taking the Lucius list, adding Doppleganger and AP on the Changeling.  Setup Dopple, Agent 46, and Angel Eyes in a central position with some firing lanes.  Worked very well, using Lucius to reposition/focus them/use Agent's Analyze Weakess on the Whiskey Golem.  I took Hold Up Their Forces and Vendetta(Agent vs Whiskey Golem).  Agent 46 is kind of nuts, with his no cheating ability.

Here is the setup:

Standard Deployment, Corrupted Idols

Powder Ritual

Harness Ley Line

Vendetta

Claim Jump

Hold up their Forces

What would you guys bring?  I am thinking of taking Lucius or Collodi(we allow DMH):

Lucius

Scribe

Agent46

Angel Eyes

Changeling

Serena

Guild Lawyer

14 SS left

Collodi w/5 stones

4 x Marionette

Hinamatsu w/IR

Vasilisa

Serena Bowman

Arcane Effigy

Widow Weaver

2 x Wicked Dolls

Maybe drop a doll for Ancient Pact on the Effigy and a SS?

Try taking a look at Zoraida or Lucius.  They both are strong in Idols and Plant Explosives.  Both have lots of indirect things to do.

Hmmm... She still has two actions left after the shock waves. Is that usually movement and the Despairs Influence?

I usually set her up as a gun turret, getting her into position somewhere and then just smashing anything that gets in her 20" bubble.

Edit: note I'm quite new to her. Maybe 5 games so far, none at 50 stones.

Despair's influence to hand out a suit (probably giving herself masks for the rest of the turn or giving crows to Kade or Carver).  Also, I was including the pulse of WP duels that her bonus action causes.  There are some actions to use self loathing on, the Moonshinobi is one.  I even used it on Brewmaster since he was in the Poltergeists aura.

I tended to use Pandora's Shockwave actions instead.  All those simple duels either damages a bunch of them or cleans out their hand.  Bonus if you can have the Poltergeist in range.  The damn Moon Shinobi scare me a little since they turn the manipulative defense into a detriment.  Hard to wound is the same way.  Although Self Loathing might be good against them, you can damage, stagger and if the planets align stun them or push them.

Something I found out when using Titania's crew against Pere Ravage and his demise ability.  Her "Into Thorns" trigger happens before the demise happens.  So you can kill him and then throw him into the rest of his crew, away from yours and then have him blow up.  Use it against them.

I don't think my opponent will take him against Titania again, lol

My normal opponent is playing Brewmaster a lot now.  What kind of tools do we have as a faction to deal with his shenanigans?  I know we have condition removal in the form of Pandora , Serena, Anything with Eldritch Magic.  Any tips people have?  After playing the last game, I did figure out I should not bunch up much, helps limit his auras and pulses.
