  1. Oh, I’ve played against Parker with Cadmus. And he killed Emissary, it’s really possible) But his every model shoot into him and he died. At the end of turn three)
  2. Also there is one very good model in Cadmus that fits into Ivan easily. Archivist is broken as hell and suits well in his lists if you don't like Rook
  3. In our meta if you see model that cost 5 or less you never take it unless it's a combo piece, because most player use very impactfull beaters that can one-shot such minion easily. And in my opinion, Prospects may be not very bad, but Nocturnes are horrible and I strongly recommend not to summon them ever, unless they can bring you VP just after summoning.
  4. one funny tech to get shadow is just to use drop marker and then place on it)
  5. I almost always spend on , because the first trigger is also very good
  6. This obviously follows from the rules written in the rollbook and on the card)
  7. As I found, Ivan’s crew, as I play him, don’t really need resources. I start with 7 stones and can afford to spend 4-5 on if I really need them, but in tuned set up Ivan always has a least and on very flip he needs to summon
  8. There are one funny thing in playing Ivan against Kriai and Ikiriyo. You don’t need to summon specters, you just need to summon Daeva, copy Ikiriyo’s action and kill everything)
  9. Yesterday played Ivan vs Yan Lo. Anna is useless against Ivan if you have at least one model on 40mm. I just wreck Yan Lo on turn 3 and killed everything on the table without any casualties. And “you can’t heal” from specter destroys regen/demises healing abilities which are only way for ressers to stay alive
  10. Once upon a time there was a tournament in cold russian town named Ulyanovsk (really, google where it is 😁). I came here with two full keywords (Cadmus and Dua/Umbra) and some versatile models. Before each game, I tossed a coin in order to choose a master, because, to my taste, both masters were equally strong in all the schemes presented. I played five games and ended up in first place with 4 wins and one draw. I attach schemes and strategies, a photo of a great prize for this event. First game I played against Bayou . My opponent's crew: New Ophelia LaCroix Crew (Bayou) Size: 50 - Pool: 6 Leader: Ophelia LaCroix Totem(s): Young LaCroix Young LaCroix 2 Young LaCroix 3 Hires: Merris LaCroix Rami LaCroix Inferiority Complex Raphael LaCroix Francois LaCroix Gautraeux Bokor Lucky Effigy Effigy of Fate My opponent's schemes: LTB, LYM My crew: New Nexus Crew (Explorer's Society) Size: 50 - Pool: 4 Leader: Nexus Hidden Agenda Totem(s): Shambling Nest Shambling Nest 2 Hires: Archivist Dr. Meredith Stanley Mr. Ngaatoro Intrepid Emissary Winston Finnigan My schemes : LTB, LYM I will not describe in detail what happened on the table, but I will say the following: during the placement, the opponent exposed Ophelia and the kins bubble under the blow of the Nexus totems, after which, for two turns, I ate his models with the help of the legion, threw phials from Meredith and by the time we reckoned he had Ophelia, effigey, totems dead, and the rest of the models were less than half health. I only lost Doctor Meredith. We counted, I opened LTM and strategy, my opponent revealed LYM and strategy. 2/2 Before the second game, I tossed a coin and Ivan fell out to me. Parker was put against me: My opponent's crew: New Parker Barrows Crew (Outcasts) Size: 50 - Pool: 2 Leader: Parker Barrows Totem(s): Doc Mitchell Hires: Convict Gunslinger Soldier for Hire Convict Gunslinger 2 Soldier for Hire Sue Mad Dog Brackett Hodgepodge Emissary My opponent's schemes: TP(Emissary), Assasinate My crew: New English Ivan Crew (Explorer's Society) Size: 50 - Pool: 7 Leader: English Ivan Totem(s): Mr. Mordrake Hires: Eva Havenhand Gibson DeWalt Corvis Rook Intrepid Emissary Winston Finnigan My schemes : Assasinate, BRTHR I came across a not very experienced outcast player and it was a complete rout. We played five turns and at the end of the fifth turn, my opponent ran out of models in the absence of losses on my part. We played 8/2, the opponent opened the first TP condition and got one point per strategy. Ivan counters Parker. I will continue a bit later :)
  11. No, you don’t, toxic Russian!
  12. There're some fancy lists, which are impossible without critical pieces(
  13. It's not about bad or good pick, but about allowable losses. If bbs or other model is your "combo piece", then you're fucked up. But if you trying to use that tech just as backup plan, or the model that your opponent desperately-want's-to-kill, it's really win-win situation.
  14. Guy's, bbs are one of the best models in NVB fraction . It's 2 matures on turn one if you need them, or its hell of a focuses for all models in your list. Just take Eyes in you crew, or start think how to place them in the way they will not die immediately after they gave focuses and transformed into matures. We take them in Lucius and Zoraida for utility, and you even don't know how to use then in rip-and-tear Nekima.
  15. May be people just don't like Douglas. Because you don't need to pick Mourning if you are having Yan Lo
  16. He is playing Bayou, but why not?) Brewmaster is solid pick against Mourning
  17. A can’t say a lot about Molly, because we haven’t a lot of resser players, but I heard about and seen some horrible visions of Seamus/Molly lists that are pretty competitive.
  18. You know, our first place on that tournament is master of Dreamer. We can try to summon him and he will answer.(but you know, he almost always takes Pandora or Titania or Nekima as second master)
  19. There are a lot of different definitions of fan) I really enjoy playing neverborn list that we named Charlie’s Angels (Pandora as leader, Titania, Nekima and Serena Bowman). I am fond of Titania/Euripides lists where you play both of yours masters as outflank scheme runners)
  20. I think all our messages here can be rephrased as : “Don’t ban multimaster for all big tournaments. Give them a try. And may be you will found that they will not be dominating all the meta”
  21. I have one very important note to that statement. It is not early days, we are trying to find best tool to win in our meta for 7 months at least. I was third on tournament and lost only to second place, just because I picked Euripides/Zoraida in first game, against Colette, instead of mono Collodi, who is broken as hell. This statistics is very solid for our top player) I just want to notice that the “broken” multimasters, are not more broken than Shenlog, Dreamer or Collodi. Even in casual games we don’t have a lot restrictions. (The most important is not to mix DMH and normal masters). But finally a lot of players realized that second master is just another tool to counter opponents leader. For example, I really don’t know how to play well against McMourning while you playing neverborn and can’t take Pandora as second master.
  22. DMH is not overpowered, multi masters are not overpowered. Fair Malifaux. Due to statistics of first three places)
  23. The base is looking just like that, I think it can be improved but I played it only 2 times. ( 12 models, not 13, mea culpa)
  24. Euripides is just very good model itself. It is fast, mobile, very good beater. He can be horrible for crews that are walking inside the bubble. My record is 15 MV duels during one Euripides activation. In our meta you can only play Elite crews because everything else dies very fast. (But I found one Pandora list with 13 models that can actually work) I think now its better to summon @Domin he is really fan of Build The Wall mechanic. I think it is good list, but the third changeling should be dropped.
