I have a game coming up with the following strategy/schemes:

Interference

Hunting Party, Exhaust, Public Demonstration, Detonate the Charges, Convict Labor

This game is against Gremlins with Somer, Ophelia, Ulix or Brewmaster.

I have all the Neverborn masters, which one would you use and what would you run with them?

FYI, we are using the Jan 17 errata.

I am thinking of a swampfiend Lilith.

I had a game a couple nights ago that I used a beckoner to lure Lenny to within 4" of a depleted and two illuminated.  Scored 3 for public demonstration.

I wouldn't call this a widespread problem. I would rate Cherub, Marionettes, Daydreams, Huggy and vodoo doll above the puke snake. In fact the poltergeist is the only totem which is often replaced by primordial during my games (can't rate the scribe as I don't play Lucius very actively). 

As others said the Gorar isn't only a greater ss investment but suffers from the placement restriction of his main ability paired with lackluster survival stats. On top of missing Minion synergies from titania. With Collodi I might take him some times as marionettes could be replaced with effigies and one could summon marionettes after Gorar sacrifice himself.

You can't take the Gorar with Collodi as he is Titania only.  

These look good:

I think the real question is what the hell would happen if you used the shaman to give the Doll and their target both Black Blood. 

 

Wouldn't they both become immune to black blood at that point?  Or am I missing something?

Envy has too large of a footprint to fit on his base.  Any suggestions on what to do?

I think that was an Easter special edition.  It might be on sale at the Black Friday sale.

If you have the books, photocopies are legal.

My usual Lilith growth list is:

Lilith (7ss pool)
- Beckon Malifaux
- Wings of Darkness

Nekima
- Mimic's Blessing
- Rapid Growth

Cherub

Black Blood Shaman

5 x Terror Tot

 

I use other lists some slightly different, some completely different depending on the schemes, strategy and opponent but this is as close to a 'ready to go' list as i have for her.

Let other do the heavy killing and grow the tots using the black blood shaman and corpse markers. put the tots close to the model with Rapid Growth to really get the growth engine going.

Why the Cherub instead of the Primordial Magic, out of curiosity?

What is the order these triggers happen?

Squeal first since it is a defense trigger?

So, Ophelia would squeal 4" then Teddy could push her back to him with Peekaboo?

I have been leaning towards gupps for the reason that they have leap.  Makes them faster, get out of combat, and can lay two markers in one turn.

It is difficult to pick between these 2.  Their attacks are the same basically.  Terror Tots faster, but the gupps have leap.  Which would you guys pick as a scheme runner?

What do you guys tend to use against Readers?  Assuming you don't know what master they have.  

I would assume stitched could be good.  Pandora possibly.

Gremlins vs. Neverborn

First activation of the game the gremlin player activates Rami and Recklesses for the xtra AP.  He hits the Mature Nephilim.  Then declares the dumb luck trigger.  He then flips a red joker on damage, 10 damage, killing the Nephilim since I forgot it had armor(one of my first games).  However, the dumb luck half damage kills Rami also.

Rare 2. I am using The box opens, Aether protection and Fears given form. Makes her somewhat durable, but i wouldn't throw her on turn 1 except if i got an exceptional hand. But i am a noobie

I had some blocking terrain coverage that allowed this, plus Nekima protecting her flank.  I don't think my opponent realized how fast she could be on him.

Since her 0 is also a Wp action, and on a Mask it can be used twice, it's often worth it to spend a high mask/stone to move her 8 inches as a 0 action... it's not simply a reactive ability!

I used this in my last game with Pandora.  Strategy was Turf War and I made it from my deployment zone to practically the other side of the Turf War Zone on turn 1.  Using two walks and 3 pushes from WP duels.  Getting a Box Opens/Fears Given Form Pandora in your face turn 1 kind of puts a kink in people's plans.

How about this

Pandora + 6 Pool
- Fears Given Form (1)
- The Box Opens (2)
- Aether Connection (1)
Primordial Magic (2)
Barbaros (10)
- Nephilim Gladiatus (1)
Coppelius (8)
Tuco (7)
- Retribution's Eye (1)
Sorrow (5)
Sorrow (5)
Gupps (4)

Take Assassinate and Protect Territory.  Use Tuco to take Pigapult out.  Sit on the Turf War marker with Pandora, Barbaros and sorrows.  Copellius to take out scheme runners and then help out in middle if necessary.

Forgot to mention that my opponent uses gremlins and he likes the pigapult.

I am playing a friendly game on Tuesday with the following setup:

Deployment: Standard Deployment (4)

Strategy: Turf War (Rams)

Schemes: * A Line in the Sand (Always)

* Assassinate (Crows)

* Protect Territory (Tomes)

* Outflank (2)

* Plant Evidence (3)

What would you guys pick for this setup? Seems good for Pandora.

Calculus, that word still gives me nightmares, like a Teddy to the face.  

Tuco with retributions eye?  Go for the blasts.

I use those.  I also plan on using the wicked dolls if I need more and don't plan on using them as wicked dolls.

Lilith and her Illusionary Forest can mess with her also.
