Following on from he last thread, the Bete thing wasn't addressed as I I guess it's as in intended.

Molly is about to get real bonkers

How so.

That being said, I agree that sholdn't be used in casual games in the meantime DO YOU HEAR THAT WYRD, WE CAN BE GOOD PEOPLE, NOW PUT ARCHIE BACK WHERE HE WAS.

Wow. yeah, sounds completely wonky. But if it makes it through the next errata it must be intentional.

Just played Bete Noire into Molly and she does so much work.

Still stupid you dont have to bury to use corpse charges, and also that she can only charge once per activation. That'd be reasonable to change both those things xD

Hold on, so are we talking about Rise Again?  So, she can be on the table, target and remove a corpse marker anywhere on the table to trigger a free action charge? 

Forgotten Marshall with Whisper has saved my bacon in more than a few games, including summoning a rabble riser who managed to kill a full health Vik in one turn.

I would keep the LRMs as is and transform a couple of the High River monks that come in the core box, since I doubt you would ever take 2 of those at 8SS.

Anyway, the monks are pretty similar, so if you want to reutilize them, why not paint them with different color schemes or bases (anything to make it easier to know what they are, maybe something to stick to the base?) and just tell your opponent what they are in each game.

That's actually a good idea. I hadn't considered the HRMs as they're already painted, and I was planning on saving time by just rebasing them.  Breaking one into a WRM along with a LRM would give me two of each.  Great advice, thank you!

So, I just got the Shenlong crew in a mass trade along with a box of Low River Monk.

Now, I love the models, but I'm hard pressed to see why I'd ever take two, let alone three LRMs in any game. However, the Wandering Monk looks to be much more useful.

So, me being cheap I'm wondering (pun intended) if I painted up two if the LRMs as WRMs would I be hamstring myself in the future? Any experienced Monk players able to advise?

So, I just got Izamu as part of a bulk trade. I don't play the keyword or have any plan to expand into it. So, does he have game in any other keyword I should look out for?

I'd be fine with it. Where's it from?

All the time. It's hard.

Maybe, but there might be some complex things happening behind the scenes to make sure the upload works well, there isn't some weird interaction with other recent updates, etc.
They might also have other reasons to delay the release a bit (I can't really think of one but I don't own a company )

Moreover, the work done on the app has been great and the developper has been responsive to feedback and issues.
So I trust them to handle this well, and I think we should try to not be too impatient about it.

It's already great to have all cards (with updates!) available in a game like this, so if it takes some time to get the most recent ones, I won't complain

Speaking of updates, if anyone remembers how long it took between the anouncement of the March errata, and the app update to have these changes, this could be an indication of how long we'll have to wait.

Also worth remembering that the app is one guy, which makes it even more impressive and accepting that some things will take time.

No way a rookie could get a airship before the Great Captain Zipp.

Zipp's "airship".

Then we'd be getting dangerously close to Corner Gas territory.

It's going to be Rupert Murdoch. It always turns out to be Rupert Murdoch.

For casual play, I always recommend this.

It is best to learn the limits of your keyword.  This helps you understand the context of the versatiles and OOK choices and why you might want them in your crew.

It is also a fun and thematic way to play if that is something your meta likes doing.

I would recommend this also. 

With regard to the Family keyword specifically, I've just picked up a crew from ebay that include Perdita, the nephilim, Francisco, Papa Loco, Nino and Santiago. I haven't gotten them on the table yet, but reading the cards I think the Pale Rider will be added to the list because he's just good in any Guild list but also as a taxi service to get Perdita up the board so she doesn't have to spend any actions walking.

Whatever you try be sure to report bakc here to let us know how you did.

We all know who the master should be. Just a shame he'd encroach too much on Sandeep's esthetic. 

Fun fact, this forum has an ignore function. Just a shame it's sometimes necessary.

bad plan; sam as mobile firebase? what?)) without ignoring concealment and cover and dmg track 2/3/4? better to take rider or lone marshal for real firepower; stalkers and thralls are garbage

I have better idea - I'll play how I want to.

IvI've had fun and success running stalkers and thralls powered by a Handler and backed up by a Peacekeepr and Sam. Use the stalkers as a screen for the thralls, make liberal use of the No Love For Witchlings and their explode and it's easy to summon in more when they die. Claim the centre ground with the peacekeeper, hide Sonnia behind it and use Sam as a mobile firebase.  

Can't wait for the spell eaters.

Oh damn..... I'm going to end up with every keyword aren't I?

Alright, thanks guys now it's laid out I can understand it now. 

So I've been looking into Reva recently and one OOK pick I've seen come up a few times is Anna Lovelace. I'm no expert player by any means, but looking over her card I'm not seeing what she brings to Reva crews. Can any more intelligent players help me out? What am I missing?

She does seem powerful but a bit fragile.

That's how I'm reading it. It seems the synergy she needs with her totem is strong, almosy like an imbalanced Viks relationship.

Who says that? 🤔

Someone who doesn't play Guild?

Jumping on to this topic, how useful are people finding the emissary with reva? It seems with his corpse creation shenanigans he has some synergy here.
