  1. And what if it's Dual Faction Enforcer? Guild/Neverborn one? Let's face it: The Guild employs morons. Anyone smart WOULD notice that something's wrong with guys like McMourning or Lucius. I can easly imagine Ortegas hiring this guy to take them deep into heart of Bayou.
  2. Hope the render and the actual mini will not be based on this art. There are many minis like that, the pose is static and the whole design's too much JRPG-esque.
  3. Dear Moderator, please pin this glorious topic so that new Neverborn players can easely find this gem of wargaming wisdom. Thank you.
  4. I didn't say they're weak (Sybarite paint more Neverborn). They do are fast (Sybarite paint more Neverborn), cheap and have some good defenses (Sybarite paint more Neverborn). Tots do have some Synergies with good Dora models, like Lilitu, Barbaros or even Teddy (Paint more Neverborn) but overall Madnesses bring more (Paint more) to the list and are more (More!) Effective at scheme running on terrain-reach tables (More Neverborn!). Summing up unless I really need that one SS elsewhere I would never choose the Tot above the Madness (Sybarite paint MOAR Neverborn).
  5. Pandora loves Insidious Madnesses and they are great scheme runners too, just for 1 ss more but with more synergy with 'Dora and her Crew.
  6. I have to correct you: model holding depression upgrade cannot use Melancholy. This action is only aviable for other woes. I haven't tried depression on Candy yet, usually if I take Kade I use it on him for that sweet sweet 5/6/8 damage + slow.
  7. Ugh, thought it's your own artwork. Unlike
  8. I am new Pandora player too, so keep in mind that my advices are based on limited experience. I also started with No shelter here + Teddy. The Plush Toy is a great model on its own and a great addition to Pandora's starter. Then I purchased Primordial Magic, Widow Weaver, Doppelganger, Iggy, and now I'm waiting for Insidious Madnesses. Here's some suggestions when to use the models: Candy - durable area control model. Use her when you and your opponent have to concentrate in strategic location (i.e. Turf War, Extraction, Squatter's Rights) or when you need quite durable model with an access to healing (i.e. Bodyguard). Combine her auras with Fears Given Form, Melancholy and Incite. Consider taking with her some sort of Wp Debuffer. Poltergeist - Walking Wp debuffer. I like him, most players - don't. Use him to get sorrows into fight from deployment zone and to deny opponent an ability to cheat Wp duels. Primordial Magic - Cheap activation with a hand draw, also walking scheme marker. Most people love him, I prefer Poltergeist. Use him when you plan to use lots of expensive models and you want a cheap activation. Also can be used with Fuge State and Doppelganger to make all enemy's crew Insignificant. Baby Kade - use with Depression in killy schemes (i.e. Hunting Party, Make them Suffer). Works well with Teddy. Teddy - I almost always use Teddy. Use Teddy. It's a great distraction. Iggy - Bargain model. Another source of Incite. Consider taking him when you take Candy for an extra Mood Swing. Widow Weaver - great Wp Debuffer. Buffs Teddy's Movement. Use her when you and your opponent have to concentrate in strategic location (i.e. Turf War, Extraction, Squatter's Rights). Sorrows - some people don't like them and I don't understand why. They're fast, they can paralyze things, they have two dangerous auras. Use them against targets wth hard to kill and/or armor. Use them in schemes when you have to interact with enemy models or in Interference. Use them with models that attack enemy's Wp. Use them with Pandora. Don't use them in Reconing. Insidious Madnesses - Sorrow's Best Friends. Scheme run with them. They're Wp Debuffers, too. Doppelganger - Use with models that have great (1) actions (i.e. Teddy, models with Lure). Helps with Initiative Flips. Great model. Some Neverborn players use her everytime. Other Models: I stick to the Pandy's theme, but some popular models in many Neverborn Crews are: - Nekima - Terror Tots - Silurids - The Illuminated - Waldgeists
  9. I am new Pandora player too, but I've already had a few games with her so I can offer you some basic tips: - Pandora's best action is her (0) - Incite. It's a Wp duel so it triggers her ability - Fading Memory - giving her a free push. Thanks to that you can use her 3 AP for killing stuff. Also it gives a great condition - Mood Swing. Thanks to that you'll be able to control enemy's activations. If the target model is in Misery radius it gets damage too. Movement + Control + Damage -> All in one action. Always try to get the trigger. - Candy's Ca Actions are mediocre. Without a good Wp Debuff you can't reliably hit things. Use her actions to walk and catch enemy models in her huge engagement range. Then harm them with her auras: Sweets, Sours, Things Given Form. Keep her away from Pandora and Sorrows, though. They're vulnerable to Things given Form. My friend plays Candy as a field medic with some success. I haven't tried that yet. - Don't underestimate the Sorrows. They do are vulnerable but they are very mobile (although their mobility is dependent of other models) and good at engaging things. Keep them close to each other and Pandora. The Mysery aura is our best way to chew through Armor, Hard to Kill and soulstone damage prevention. Don't forget about life leech, too. Occasionally you will paralyze something with Doldrums. - Get the Teddy. Or other mobile beatstick that targets Df. It draws enemy's attention and gives you a way to deal with high Wp low Df models (i.e. Seamus). - I highly recommend getting Iggy. He's cheap utility model and another source of Incite.
  10. Gentlemen, please read PeregrineFalcon's post again. He edited it a few days ago. He made a mistake and he admited it.
  11. I am newbe and Pandora's my first Master but even if I do everything wrong Pandora still can gain a few points. As long as you remember about her auras and mood swings on enemy models she'll get the job done. Incite's her most powerful action, always try to get the trigger. The real problem for a new Dora Player like me are the other models from her Starter. Candy has mediocre Ca values and her auras are dependent from Mood Swings and Nobody likes me conditions. I use her as an aura carrier with fears given form. Still have to try using her as a field medic though. I like Sorrows and Poltergeist but they are very squishy. Baby Kade can't lure anything. I usually use him to push Teddy. I think the starter crew is in dire need of reliable source of Wp debuff that doesn't use Pandora's AP.
  12. Hooded Rider cannot take Fears Given Form because he's an enforcer and Fears... has Master or Henchman limitation.
  13. One of my friends regulary plays Swampfiend Zoraida. He cannot wait till Wyrd release plastic McTavish. With Hexed among you he plans first turn alpha strikes in killy schemes and Reckoning. Maybe he'll work for Lilith in larger games too? Along with Jozin z Bazin, of course.
  14. Hi all, Is it possible to Lucius with Mimic-only list? Of course, with the right strategy and scheme pool, so no reconing, no make them suffer, but lots of things like breakthrough, protect territory, plant evidence etc. Thought about something like this one: 50 ss Lucius - suprisingly loyal - secret assets - legalise The Scribe Doppelganger - useless duplications Mr Graves - retribution's eye Beaconer Beaconer Guild Lawyer Guild Lawyer (looks like a Pimp gang).
  15. Great paintjob, as usual. I think I can say this mini just have got Viruked. I really like the idea of 'merging' his limbs with a clock-like mount. I see you've based him on an Orphanage base insert. Does that mean you intend to use him with your Dreamer crew? Night sky cape thing fits the Dreamer theme too. I I were you I would rather paint a spiral galaxy on the cape. I hope your next blog entry will be the new plastic Insidious Madnesses. Love the models. BTW I didn't know that you like electro-industrial. Hope we'll have a chance to play Mfx soon!
  16. As soon as I will get the models I'll try this one: Vasilisa (9 ss) Doppelganger (7 ss) with depression (1 ss) As far as I know Vasilisa's the only Neverborn non-Master model with Obey. Yes, she's in dire need of high to use it against an enemy, but Doppelganger can get the suit for a cost of weak thanks to depression. Thats 2-3 extra Obeys per turn. edit: forgot the depression special rule is not an ability, but an action, so no way
  17. Hello, Haven't wanted to start a new Dreamer thread so I use this one to ask: Are Sorrows solid minions for the Dreamer? With so many WP debuffs and WP tests in his iconic Nightmare crew Pandora-style Willpower Bomb seems viable.
