  1. And it's 5 models, not 6. I'm not sure where that math came from...
  2. Got mine with the rest of my Marcus supplements and they are the only ones I haven't even bothered to assemble. And I assemble *everything* like the week I get it. I guess maybe if you put the Stealth Mutation upgrade on them they could be OK at scheming? As long as the enemy leaves them alone...
  3. Do you end up losing out on Bounty tokens that way if you get too many on Titania before you've scored any VP?
  4. Oh yeah I agree with the logic here. Was just letting you know that you do not in fact have to buy the entire box just for Scavengers. Marcus' Order Initiates are another example of this. Marcus has new sculpts, but Initiates were one of the first special orders available.
  5. They have clarified that even if new models are in boxes with new sculpts, you'll still be able to special order the new models only. Any delay in them being on the special order list is probably from distribution issues, or their normal delay in making things available.
  6. I assume that the keyword-common ability is the one that's blacked out, and this ability is specific to this model.
  7. Sorry you had to do that, hope you're still able to make use of the app for everything else you need. In a pinch you can always share crews via a link or QR code.
  8. Yeah they probably are, but I like them and I find them useful. You're definitely not just spending 9 stones just for the 2 cards, they are also doing all that other stuff.
  9. It's not 2 cards though, it's 2 cards every turn.
  10. Ah, that's just a bug. I included a fix in version 1.1.9 in the pipeline now. As for the wilds setup, I recommend making a different thread for that. I wish this thread was not a catch-all for all feedback, as "bugs, feedback, and other suggestions" is basically the description of this whole directory.
  11. Found the bug, stupid mistake on my part. Fixing in 1.1.9.
  12. That's fair, I was using shorthand for the damage track/poison damage the same way I hear competitive players talk about it in podcasts, but you're right the damage could go away before then. And poison 2 does still technically cause 2 damage over 2 turns, but in all likelihood the model that you put it on should hopefully be dead before then if it's up in melee with you, so the second poison doesn't count for much. Sure the upgrade is risky, and you'd have to play them accordingly. I wouldn't send them into a fight with something much bigger than him, and like I said I would keep Hayreddin and Lilitu close to hopefully get some healing off in between hits. I think they make a good strike team against the opponent's B-group, so to speak. While Nekima and the Mature(s) deal with the primary threat, HR/L/L can be holding down a flank. Youngs are definitely better on paper I agree, but I maintain there are circumstances where the twins are worth taking as well. Flight is great, but on a board with less terrain its value isn't as dramatic. Also, as a not-very-competitive player who maybe doesn't have the best hand management yet, I find all the card draw to be really invaluable. And HR's life from blood is really the only source of new summons in the crew if you're talking about spare Tots, and the twins are one of the best tools for really getting the exact timing right on a BB ping.
  13. I originally wrote this out in response to someone in the Facebook Neverborn group asking why I take Lelu, but wanted to spur further discussion. What do you all think? He's deceptively difficult to kill with Df 6 and four sources of healing (Regen, Twin Soul, Drink Blood, Grim Feast). I use them for 2 things mainly: card drawing and a surprising amount of ping damage. The two of them together are an awesome card engine. From their bonus actions, you're drawing 3 (discarding 1), triggering Black Blood twice in the process. Add Ancient Pacts and now you're drawing 5 cards every turn. Granted that's 16 stones, but all that card draw is automatic or from Bonus Actions, it's not eating into their Actions. Then there's ping damage. Lelu's damage track looks like a 2/3/4 at first, but it has built-in Infect which makes it 3/4/5 and potentially 4/5/6 if you get another Crow (and don't need to heal with Drink Blood). These triggers are on Ram and Crow, neither of which have much competition within the crew for other model's actions, as the crew is mostly Mask-hungry. Lelu's Activation: Charge and melee (either Healing or using Infect), then Masochistic Thoughts, then Blood for Blood to ping BB and draw cards. End of Activation, ping BB again from MT and draw a card from Pact. Lilitu's Activation: Position and Lure someone into Lelu (if necessary). Otherwise, move up next to Lelu to potentially trigger MT for another BB, and Attack to give Distracted (to protect her Df 4). Sadistic Glee on Lelu to ping BB again and draw a card. End of Activation, draw another card and maybe ping BB again. So in total that's: * Net gain 4 cards * 3-4 irresistable BB ping damage (per model within range of Lelu) * 1-2 Poison ping damage * 1 2/3/4 attack from Lelu, possibly one 2/2/3 from Lilitu. To keep Lelu alive, it's useful to actually get a point or two of damage on Lilitu, who would normally be protected, because then her Regen is also healing Lelu (if she doesn't heal from Regen, then Lelu doesn't either). And Lelu is healing her as well obviously, which is why I want to have both and not just do this stuff with Lilitu and a Young or something. Finally, somewhere around late-mid-game, Lelu has probably been around enough corpses to Grow into a Mature (don't forget he loses the Ancient Pact upgrade though). One last thing, if at all possible I try to make sure Hayreddin is around and has activated Life from Blood. That way, I can time out a BB ping to summon a Terror Tot for my trouble. And oh hey, he can also use Black Blood Postule (twice for one Action with a 5Mask+5) to trigger even more irresistable BB pings and increase the odds of that Tot coming out. And Life From Blood doesn't prevent the Corpse marker from dropping, so the Tot can use Grim Feast to get a Grow Token right away on the turn while it's Slow. Also if he's close enough, Lelu and Lilitu are healing each other when their Black Blood is triggered on enemy turns. For this reason, I'll have one strike team of Hayreddin/Lelu/Lilitu go up one flank, and then I'll pair Nekima with 1-2 Young/BBS(->Mature) up the other flank.
  14. The alt sculpt issue is interesting, not sure where that's going, aside from I suspect the Alt sculpt is going to be the "default" Nekima when we do get her box. So for revealed boxes we've got Brood Mates (Lilitu/Lelu) and Blood Ritual (Hayreddin/Black Blood Shamen). What's missing: Tots, Young, and Mature. Since her henchman won't be in her box, I suspect instead she'll get a Mature. The rest of it I suspect will be some breakdown of Young/Tots. More likely 1/3, but maybe 2/2. And then the non-included sculpts for the Mature/Young/Tots will be in a separate box? Not sure about that.
  15. Thanks for the report, sorry you had to delete your crews. This shouldn't have been an issue with the errata cards, although now I am wondering if its metadata is up to date. The web version needs to be manually updated since the library that keeps the data updated wasn't working for web builds last I looked.
  16. Yeah I know, when I started this I was just doing things that move Ice Pillars (though I ended up including some other ones too). Frozen Trophy is unique and memorable enough that I didn't need the reminder for it, and I was trying to limit the amount of space.
  17. I kept forgetting who in the Savage crew does what with Ice Pillars, so I made a diagram to help me remember. The range lines are all to scale, though I am considering making another one where they're reduced to save some space. If anyone would find that helpful let me know.
  18. The engine I'm using is primarily meant for mobile development. There's support for building for web, but some of the libraries and functionality aren't fully supported there yet. It's either that, or I forgot :O.
  19. I got a message with mine the other day, I assumed it was too make sure they got out in time for the sale.
  20. Well those two are up on the store now at least. More than you can say for all the Neverborn boxes in the March/April release schedule ;(.
  21. They changed it from "height" to "size" for a reason as well. Size is more abstract now, it doesn't mean height alone. Also, come back to me when you see the size of Ryle's character model vs his Sz.
  22. I thought if we see Lucius' face we go insane. Does that mean the whole real world has gone mad?
