I'm a Teapot!

I recently played summoning pandora against sandeep in a tournament. It was my first time playing vs sandeep and I discovered that arcane shield is basicly the best defense against pandora in the game. Still managed to win tho cause I took quick murder and eliminate and killed his shasvastya guard turn 1 and Sandeep Turn 3 cause of a red joker Poltergeist atk vs him =D. It feels like Sandeep's crew is one of the best counters to pandoras mechanics. Sorrows tho die easy vs everything and thats why I wouldn't hire them. Summoning them is perfectly fine cause they appear where you need them and when you need them. Yesterday I killed Parker, Aionus and Maddog in 1 Turn of Pandora 3 summoned Sorrows and the Emissary.

Srsly this is dissapointing. Is it so hard to update the upcoming site more frequently then once a year? The whole site is not "upcoming" anymore since beginning of november... Cmon wyrd.

I played a lot of games where my master was a trademodel and I was fine with him dying after he did his job and pressured the opponent to a point where I was winning the game already. I think Leveticus fits this playstyle. Yes he can be immortal, but why does he have to? Trading his waifs and Levi for basicly 3 turns of a lot of enemy activations and ap is a good trade. The crew can score vp while levi is busy dying and soaking the enemy. And then in turn 3 or 4 he might die permanently but the game should be decided by then.

As with a lot of masters, his problem is that he has unothrodox strenghs and people dont realize that if you dont play up to a certain potential the overall result feels kind of meh for those masters. Levis huge strengh is that he doesnt care about risk in certain situations. I've started to focus him way more towards a "risky" playstyle and he turned out to be a lot more fun and be more effective. New levi needs to creat threat and soak ap and enemy models. If your playing him with a Hamelin playstyle, of course he's not going to be better then hamelin. Do things with Levi which only Levi can do. Such as tie up the enemy turn 1 and waste his resources and then explode and dont care about dying.

A well played vik of blood would do 4 times (oath keeper and melee expert) min 5 ignoring everything with ++ to attack and + to dmg and hitting everything around her.

You should add something like this to the 52 pickup section: "This ability is also pretty stunning in they way it provides the dmg. It happens at the end of his activation and is not resisted by the enemy. Also being paralyzed and or abilities giving -flips or restricting actions targeting enemy models do nothing against this ability because it is not an action and paralyzed models still begin their activation, then immediatly spend their ap and end the activation." I had to learn this when I paralyzed lynch who was next to my barbaros with the challenge aura and my opponent still put the dmg onto my pandora. =(

I'm currently playing around with papa loco and anna lovelace for the blocker list. Deploying very aggressivly and when they kill my models they have to deal with papa loco in their face.

It's also a fun way to score setup or things like claimjump, covert breakthrough.

Or this: Pandora - Box - Fears given form Anna Lovelace Serena Bowman Teddy - Warped reality Teddy - Warped reality Poltergeist - Warped reality

Take Aionus, hes a great pick into outcast anyways. And he can really be a pain for the viks.

Take a full from the shadows crew with three times warped reality and 3 swamp fiends with hexed among you and then burry your master via anna lovelace, to have your whole crew (except anna) in the enemies face asap.

A lot of times, in my summoning pandora crews, I run her with all the wp support bubbled up towards the main goal of the game (extraction + 1doable scheme near extraction) and my beater as kind of a flanking unit. Because I love taking the hooded rider, he kinda fits this job and already likes to stay a bit more hidden and safe for the first few turns. After he killed some enemy schemerunners he has enough mobility to get back to the main group in later turns. Box Pandora is kind of the other way around. Pandora wanders off on her own to tarpit the enemy bubble and the crew focuses on the strat and schemes. Zoraida I like to run with her in the center as kind of a hub enabling the rest of my crew. And the rest of my crew is mostly in smaller tagteams for specific jobs.

lilithu and a doppleganger are better then 2 beckoners inmy opinion.

25 bucks for a fking bayou????

Oh, nice alternate Sybelle really looks pretty good for this job. I'll try to get one and otherwise ill take a performer. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I love the things Serena brings to neverborn and I want to make a somehow ok proxy for her because I want to give her a lot more playtime in the near future. I'm new to proxymaking and I'd be so thankfull for some tips and inspiration. Are there malifaux models that would fit her style for a conversion? It cooldown be a themed comversion aswell. I plan on playing her with mainly Pandora and a bit with Zoraida aswell. Thanks

Hi everyone, I really want to play Marlena Webster some more without looking at my Candy mini and pretending she's marlena. What would you use to make a good Marlena Webster Proxy? Are there malifaux models that are good for this? I'm kind of new to miniature conversions and I'd be really thankfull to find some help and inspiration in here. Thanks

Ah right i forgot about this. You can use Aionus tho to make an enemy scheme marker and summon with it.

Rougaru and the autumn knights

You could also take her new upgrade and summon a hanged at full wounds in the next turn =D. Not saying its competitive, just a thaught.

Tuco is way more safe now! With Lilith, the emissary upgrade isnt really needed, so fts might be a good go for him in that crew! And it helps with the marker spam in the middle. "Let's see how you score extraction, cause this land is ours!"

pretty interesting.

I dont play Lynch but I have played against him a lot lately, especially with the new upgrade cheating bastard. And I can say this is annoying as fuck and powerfull. Cheating last is really really powerfull.

So I've played a few games with Serena and 3 models warped. It's really more of a deal then I thaught. I was only used to snipers with from the shadows and they pretty much got killed after a few shots, cause they were overextended or if I didnt put them to far ahead, they had limited use. With serena those problems dont really matter to much. First of all a huge part of your crew can be from the shadows and that means the fts model isnt unprotected anymore cause it's not alone anymore. I thaught the master would fall behind but then I discovered that lilitu and a dopple can basicly make the master fts aswell and having lures with fts is great as a threat aswell. This is a huge deal! Also some masters benefit a lot from the movement lilithu provides to them while she is in the middle of the board. I love to play this with pandora, because pandoras built in mobility kind of only comes to play once she reaches 12" to her enemies and lilithu can pull pandora to the middle and save a lot of pandoras pathetic walking ap. I can still take graves and it adds up on pandoras mobility a lot. Zoraida is really mobile on her own, therefore I played warped on some combat focused models. I can tell you it's fun to bring a dopple and a teddy, cheat initiative, fly up with zoraida and charge teddy, then activate teddy as the second activation and flurry. Also obey pairs pretty well with terrifying. I think serena is kind of a patch to the Nekima > other beaters imbalance in neverborn. Teddy or mature provide huge threat with fts and while nekima is flexible the enforcer beaters can not play another role in neverborn, which is fts threat and protecting other fts models. I'm trying Lilith with the land consumes and this crew today. I wanna see how much I can mine the extraction zone before the enemy arrives.

When I take a look at gg18 and the direction its facing concerning favouring certain playstyles, there is hope for Colette. Dont mind me and interacting in general is going to be huge. I think we can expect Colette to rise again in power levels, just by a change of playstyle in the meta due to gg18. Btw, Zoraidas Obey with a charge is once per turn and atking with obey is limited to once per turn for the same model. I've played against the old collette while zoraida was my most played master even before willow whisps. When you get half you crew killed just by the huge skill of prompting a coryphee duet the whole game it gets kinda boring. After being at the bottom for several years, Zoraida deserves some good time and at the same time I'm not a fan of colette being at the bottom, because I think her theme is one of the best in Malifaux, but I think she will rise again with gg18.
