meanwhile the new starter is basically a year late

Yeah, I've been waiting on the starter to dive into TOS. Hoping for news soon!

Thank you for the update guys!  It may be worthwhile to start taking pre-oreders on the web to mitigate the issue of unknown demand.  I would happily put in an order for future releases well in advance, especially if it helped the company logistically.

Just remember that if you ordered a book, that’s going to delay your order until the 12th or 15th.  

Of August or September?

Amazing episode.  I'm hoping we can go back and get deep dive episodes on some of the masters who were covered in the shorter videos/casts.  Would love deep dives into Lady J, Levi, and the Viks.

Hopefully we'll see an alt at some point.  Thankfully the mask sculpt isnt very pronounced, so you can paint her without it (I attached mine, which hopefully shows it can be done).

I'd love to see an alt Leveticus crew parodying Harry Potter.

Leve himself as Voldemort

Rusty as Beatrix LeStrange

Abominations can be dementors or bratty Slitherin students

Waifs could be anything used as Horcruxes, perhaps the professor from the first movie and a sniveling Harry

Very helpful breakdown.  I really like their new format.

Will there be M3E cards available for the alt models? I think this would be useful, especially for models which look significantly different than their original versions.

In M3E, Misery procs on the opponent cheating cards, not failing Wp duels.

Given the change to shielded from armor (effectively removing the floor on damage reduction), it seems like Pandora is going to be pretty different in M3E.  All I want to know is if she’ll still be able to summon in the new edition (Summoning Pandora is probably my favorite crew to play).  Maybe @Mason can shed some light on the issue?

Yep. I mean... that combo DID beat Lilith all the way out of the game 🤣

 Also now that Nekima is a master in her own right what am I going to do for a massive beatstick model in my lists?

 

you can hire her as a beatstick in another master's crew!

Not sure why these ones are on your list, the website confirmed that Lucius and Zoraida are still dual faction so I'd assume at least some of their current pool will be Keyworded for them.

Agree.  This list also includes models that have multiple keywords, some of which will still be in faction in M3E (e.g., Tannen is a Woe for Pandora, Graves is a Nephilim for Nekima).

Will there be a new starter box for 3E? The current one is really not all that exciting in its execution (though I like the guild models).

  

Speaking of the starter box, I'm actually super excited to see those models get a rework in M3E.  Looking forward to Nekima leading Angel Eyes and the Scion into battle.

As a neverborn player that’s “losing” a master, I have to say that I’m super excited about these changes.  The new cards look great and suggest that there’s still plenty of depth.  I’m also more than happy to give up a couple “staple” masters in the name of flavor and getting some fresh blood in the faction.

Really curious: will the old Nekima models work for the master or should we expect a 30mm version in M3E?

I did a bit of sculpting on mine, to bring it inline with Lilith's plant themes:

 

That’s awesome! Love the theme

Nice idea, Fortune. Looks good. 
I'll post back here once I get my conversion all sorted out.

Just noticed your location in New Haven.  I'm in Stamford.  Do you have a local playgroup?

I saw a great conversion on A Wyrd Place FB group. Pukey worm was converted into a branch on a tree. It looked really good.

Another one I liked used a transparent third-party mini, but it could be done with the official one too. It was a water elemental coming out of a stone well.

Or you could put tentacles all around, making it look like a creepy octopus.

 

 

 

Hey guys this was me.  Pic attached.

Looking forward to this!

Pandora w/ Woe is Me, other upgrades as needed (sometimes Wings, sometimes Aether, sometimes FGF, sometimes Fugue, sometimes Rile).

Iggy

Lilitu

Doppelganger w/ Thousand Faces

Depression on someone. I've been trying Kade w/ Depression as he's a naturally great carrier for it, but you have a number of other Woes who could do it. The rest of your crew can be whatever, I really like The Tooth, Thorn, Hooded Rider, Nekima, Silurids/Madness, Mr Graves, I dunno, live your life the way you want man.

Lilitu walks up, lures Doppel. Doppel walks up, copies Lure w/ a Tome to Lure Dora up twice. Up to this point, you are trying to position so that Dora will end within Incite distance of an enemy model.

Dora Incites (using a Soulstone for trigger if needed) to swing 8" up the board. You may have to spend an AP to walk, but you really want to limit your walking. This is where your opponent should try to counter if they have a high card - stop the Incites, and you have to spend time Walking (which sucks). In non-Corner deployments, you should be able to engage enemy models and Inflict at least twice. In an ideal world, you end engaged with all 3 AP, using it to summon a Sorrow (off the Mood Swing) + 2x Inflict.

Top of turn 2, you are activating Pandora first, throwing Incite onto 1-2 useless enemy models (using your 4" push to engage more enemies ideally), and inflict thrice to get that sweet, sweet Poltergeist into play. Then play your game as needed.

That's super helpful.  Thanks Chrys!  I didn't realize Pandora could be so self sufficient in summoning (thought you needed a ton of crew causing status to get her going).

Summoning Dora is not a summoner. At least, the way I play her, she's just Box Pandora with a cherry on top. Turn 1 you're trying to end the turn engaged with 2+ enemy models and a Poltergeist summoned in. After that, it's positioning her so she keeps 2+ models tied down, then Inflicts x 3. Box Pandora that causes less simple duels, but the no-cheating aura lets her murder things more consistently. You want her engaged turn 1, and you don't mind losing her after the third turn.... very aggressive.

But again, that's just my playstyle.

In that case, can I ask what your typical list looks like?  Would like to see how you get her that far up the board T1.

I've been struggling to figure out how to break up the crew (i.e, what has to go with Pandora, what smaller groups can go up a flank together, etc).

The biggest problem with Barby is spending 10ss on a non-aggressive model doesn't fit my playstyle. That's all it is. If your playstyle bends towards a more defensive or zone control style, then he may do more work for you. My playstyle is very aggressive with Neverborn, ask your opponent a lot of questions and force them to use their resources poorly. Barby unfortunately doesn't fit that, and prefer to spend the 10ss slot on things like Rider (or a smaller beater like one of our many minions).

Great point, Chrys.  I'm still fairly new to the game and this is my first summoner master.  I started with Viks and Lilith, so I'm used to much more aggressive strategies.  That said, I'm not yet ready to say aggro is my playstyle (it's basically been my only option thus far, basically). Worst case, i paint barbaros, don't like him, and still have an awesome looking model.  

Thanks very much for your input.  

Hey everyone.  Struggling with the 8-10 stone range for Pandora.  I love Barbaros (conceptually and visually), but I keep seeing negative reviews of him online (Alex Schmid put out a pretty negative video on him this morning. Is anyone having good success with him in Summoning Dora?  If you are, are you running any upgrades on him?

Second question: how many models do you typically hire in Summoning Dora crews?  I've been leaning towards 9 lately, but could drop to 8 to get another big model in there.

A classic if the table is relatively open.  

50 SS Neverborn Crew
Collodi + 5 Pool
 - Strum the Threads (1)
 - Fated (1)
 - Breathe Life (1)
Envy (9)
 - A Thousand Faces (1)
Doppleganger (7)
 - A Thousand Faces (1)
Freikorps Trapper (7)
Arcane Effigy (4)
Changeling (4)
Changeling (4)
Changeling (4)
Brutal Effigy (4)

 (exported from CrewFaux)

If you feel like it you can replace the three changelings with an emissary, you won't be shooting as much on turn one, but you get dangerous terrain, an additional 10 stone model and still 3 changelings.

WOW that's some grief!  Trapper + Changelings seems very strong.
