Good evening all and sundry! My first crew is assembled (well, sort of) but not painted. However, I think I've opted with a steep jump off point (then again, I guess this could be applied to most starting masters) with Misaki, who I've read has few synergies with her crew models at the best of times, and whose broad strategy is built around her crew supporting her. Which is fine, I don't mind getting my head around that challenge. I come from a series of tabletop wargames in which I've played the faction(s) whose schtick is movement shenanigans, who hit fast and like a ton of bricks, generally at the cost of poor staying power, which explains why Misaki (and to a lesser extent Mei Feng) appeal to me. This playstyle is one that's stuck with me and I'm hoping such an approach to Mofo can be rewarding as well (I'm sure many a seasoned veteran of the game will endorse this thought). So, any hard lessons for such a player, given that I'll have to get used to wrong positioning/deployment and seeing my squishies shot off the board or lured to a punch in the face a few dozen times?! >.< Suggestions for a starting 35ss crew for Misaki would be welcome too. Thankee kindly... =.=

Hey all... AJ, here... hearkening to his Chinese roots... and declaring his first Ten Thunders Master as Misaki... >_> ...!! May the Crows love me while she runs after squishy things to stick on the end of her yari!!

Hey all, n00b incoming... I've got the Misaki box set and am looking to build a list around her. However, having looked at PullMyFinger, she doesn't seem to have that many straight forward synergies with other models, since I'm aware she doesn't do too much for her crew. Just wondered what a good starting 35/50ss list would look like and what models do funky things with/for her. To expand, I chose Ten Thunders for the predominant Oriental feel and the playstyle for both Misaki & Mei Feng is similar to most of the factions I play for other TT wargames (moves and hits fast and like a dumptruck, but can't take too many hard hits), and I'm currently waiting for a few bits and pieces I ordered (Ama no Zako, Oiran, Snipers... but can't seem to find Bros anywhere...). Consequently, I'm all for a Disguise build, a single Oiran for Lure to let Misaki hog her crows before slicing someone's face off etc. etc. Is Shang worth it? Also, important question: would the Dawn Serpent fit at all? FYI, my meta is quite mixed with all the factions pretty well presented except Outcasts (which is ironic, since I bought the Viks purely as a painting project... ). Thanks, folks! G.
