Next Lucius Trick (Sorry can only do Lucius):

call it reuse abuse: Klaus Norwood, Guild Lawyer and 2 Crookskin (meet at a Bar…)… Doppelgänger arrives and copies „Information Exchange“ by Klaus… and in the end they loot the discard pile over and over again… 

so a mix of Information Exchange, Tools for the Job and the old ways can be pretty sweet I guess. Use the old ways to reuse a severe, put it underneath the discard pile and if necessary get it back with Information Exchange to use it again and reuse it then with old ways/tools…

I am eager to try Doppelgänger with Syzygy Sisters … might be funny. 
 

esp in Lucius 2 where stat 7 pale blade/piercing darkness gets a free trigger from Lucius Special Marker. 

So the Game is done and was different than expected. 
 

We played corner deployment: cloak &dagger, deliver Message, sweating bullets, take Prisoners, outflank, death beds 

I played:

New Nellie Cochrane Crew (Guild)
Size: 50 - Pool: 5
Leader:
  Nellie Cochrane, Voice Of Disorder
    Lead-Lined Coat
Totem(s):
  The Printing Press
Hires:
  Phiona Gage
    Lead-Lined Coat
  Undercover Reporter
  Auguste Hart
  Field Reporter
  Field Reporter 2
  Guild Steward

The Strategy markers were spread out to the legt and Right. I took take Prisoners on his rooster Rider and outflank so my Crew had to split up  (and because of terrain). In one flank there was nellie, Auguste and one Field Reporter. The Rest on the other flank. I lost the mentioned Field Reporter First Turn to bushwacker fire. August killed That bushwacker in Return and Scored take Prisoner on his rooster turn 2. we both scored 1 for the strategy. Turn 3 I killed a Test subject, scored Outflank and nearly lost auguste. My opponents scored take Prisoners with steward. I scored the strategy and denied his. Then we talked the game through. 
 

XP:

I didnt get to use nellies spread the Word well. My opponent was clever to get around it and keep my Crew apart. Auguste was able to kill one bushwacker and soak a second one plus rooster Rider for 3 turns due to damage reduction. Shielded would have been Perfect. Nellie was his enabler and denied VP. Phiona + Llc Held up ma for 2 turns so the undercover Reporter could score and the second Field Reporter could deny pretty well.
the Crew still was squishy and would have been crushed of Not for phiona + Llc. Or if my opponent (who had bigbrain and trixie) would instead have Chosen a second rooster Rider and miner /whacker. 
nellie and August work well as a team. Pretty well to be honest. 
i don’t get the Field reporter to work. If only i could use 8xLLC. 😅 

next Time I want shielded on August and phiona. I want a Model to move nellie up the Board so she can use her AP more efficient. 

This evening nellie will go against mah… so I will try out some of your tips and advice. I will report 

I find newsies underwelming except maybe if you want to go intensivly for their Build in trigger. But hey. I am used to changeling who also die each Game but are far more resiliant. 
 

false witness are allright for false claim is good and with the no Cheat aura there is potential if you do combo them well (Placement is important). 

i realy want to like field reporter. Awesome models with nice bonus Action. But Hard to use without risking them. In nellie 1 they are Sweet if Slow news day is active. Or if you want to Pile up distracted on August hart First Turn. 
 

the undercover Reporter is awesome. I love the Build in crit strike to surprise low health models. The trigger on arson is fantastic and of you use lawyer or witness the Bonus Action lets you draw a Card. Good Model 

I adviced him to Look at some versautes and ook. After the Game. Imho Steward, grimwell, Melissa, lone marshall and lawyer are solid choices. But then again the question was how to play nellie in keyword and esp. How to spam distracted. I don’t see the „nellie hands out distracted like Candy“ what am i missing? How do you Spam distracted on several models, so your Crew is protected From Heavy damage of Focuses attacks by Beaters?????? I mean I play pandora and I know how Spamming a condition feels and That on several matchups still isnt enough to win. So i can’t See nellie do it with distracted. 

I played against nellie 2 today with Lucius 1. the Pool was: plant explosives, Power Ritual, deliver a message, sweating bullets, hold up their forces, ensnare. 
 

he took: nellie, totem, Allison Dade, undercover reporter, auguste hart, 2x Field reporter, false witness, newsie. 
 

I played: Lucius, Scribe, Alan Reid, 2x Investigator, lawyer, false witness, changeling. 
 

he did not hand out distracted that much, his schemerunner were easy targets to focus and most of his Models did not have staying Power. 
 

yes it was ecactly as you Said: a Single focused attack here and there and struggle to Hand out distracted at Range. 

Hello Folks 

I need your advice. A friend of mine plays nellie and has got the whole keyword and posesses no other guild models. He‘s quite new to the Game and struggles to get fun since the crew is Hard to Master. Mostly because the models die easy. I looked into the models, tactics, Videos, rewiews, batreps to give some advice. I also played nellie a few times.
I read that the Crew can spread distracted like candy and nellie plus Alison Dade make up for quite a good Team. I get all that. But it seems to be at a very short Range 6“-8“. Then again I always See rider or marshal plus 1-2 other versatiles or ook models to get rid of Enemy models/schemers…

long Story Short: how is it possible to play Nellie in keyword and not die turn 3?

Avoid: While Neverborn, the Aua should not feel ‘evil’. Otherworldly, yes, but not monstrous

And that‘s where I am very sad you didn‘t make her Neverborn. It would have made the faction more fascinating and also kind of a mirror to humanity if the Neverborn were more tolerant then humans. I would have loved you for that. 

So I bought the two boxes, played my first few games with these models only and must say I am very unhappy bout it. There are little synergies in the dia crew. The DM and Exc. are squishi and Slow. 
the judge, Lady J and the lone Marshal are cool and strong. But the DM and X 🤷🏻‍♀️ Don’t know what to do with them. 
Next I will try one domador with the three DM to support them. 

I may have Seen a Bug!?!? White Eyes costs 7+1 SS when I try to hire it with Lucius… and is considered Ook. 

In addition: in Dreamer 2 you can swallow chompy to summon him again. So you could get 2 activation chompy goung. 

Thank you all. 
why is tavish considered crap? He Looks all right to me. Not particularly Good but allright. is juju better?

Hello. A Friend of mine starts with bayou zoraida. We both don’t know how to Build a List for bayou zoraida and what is really Necessairy He has the following models: (a weird combination i know)

New Zoraida Crew (Bayou)
Leader:
  Zoraida
Hires:
  Bad Juju
  McTavish
  Adze
  Waldgeist
  Will o' the Wisp
  Will o' the Wisp 2
  Will o' the Wisp 3
  Silurid
  Silurid 2
  Silurid 3
  Gautraeux Bokor
References:
  Voodoo Doll

How important are the kurgan, grootslang or the First Mare? Or the spawn mother and all the other stuff. Or the emissary???
Wowww the keyword is really huge. …

😂 oh sorry I was half asleep while writing the question. But you guessed right. That was the question. I will translate the start post then. 
 

There once was a thread about this topic but I can’t find it anymore…🤷🏻‍♀️
 

Therefor:

Lucius uses hidden sniper and draws  Range and LOS through Modell X. Modell X is engaged by Modell Y. Lucius shoots Modell Y. Does friendly fire trigger?

Thank you for the Video. I rarely watch a whole vassal match but this Game was fun to watch. 👍

Hello wyrdos 

I was looking at the Grim keyword and was wondering, when to use them. For what purpose? 
The caps seem to me like best to be run in pair and activate early and attack so you get the Shielded. 
They might fit in keywords that do not want to hire stiched (tax) and still use Puppet summoning with vasilisa and weaver..?? Or since they want to activate early und crews with lots of manipulative? Or Crews that can add more shielded (Lucius)?
for a 5 cost minion they are tanky with armor +1 and Potential Shielded but I can think of no Good synergie… surely you are more experienced and have an answer 

what do you make of the Grim keyword and red caps in particular?

So the question I pose to you.  Do you want to field a visually stunning Dia De Los Muertos crew?  Or do you want to field a competitive Lady Justice Crew?  Because you are going to have to pick.  

If you want the models to put on a display shelf, sure.  Then it is a visually stunning crew especially if you have the free hand skills to paint the skulls.   But if your thread asks how to play it... 

Tbh I want a bit of both. I wont play em in highly competitive setting as I play casual Games with Crews in keyword 95% of the time. But I still want to have fun playing them. Otherwise they would get me frustrated and I would slowly put them on a shelf.

And the fact wyrd produces unfinished themes as nightmare boxes… well can’t be helped. I think the Point of me asking was to plan ahead, what models would eventually be needed and how to find/sculpt fitting models. 

So basicly the keyword does do the trick? Brutal would be nice as well as Rider… 

Domadores seem to fit in well. Jury, 33 need some crafting. What about the recruiter? Needed?

Hello fellow Guildies,

I rarely played against Lady J so far and I realy like the new box so i want to know, what models are needed next to the 2 nightmare boxes to form a solid Lady J 1 and 2 crew? 

Thank you

Why just 1 ancient pact? Probably because the second doesnt fit in anymore…?? That makes me currious. Do you mind posting your fav build  here?

I guess i would play something like that: 

Round 1 (Neverborn)
Size: 50 - Pool: 7
Leader:
  Lucius Mattheson, Dishonorable
Totem(s):
  The Scribe
Hires:
  Agent 46
  Hinamatsu
  Vasilisa
  Guild Lawyer
    Ancient Pact
  Changeling
    Ancient Pact
  Wicked Doll
 

Or the kurgan. ☝️

They both have ups. If you Look at the summoning only weaver is better cause she is a henchman and can use a soulstone to get the Maske needed to summon. 

You sure it works this way? I thought even though its two different conditions it only aplies once due to the fact that the ability is only called misery and therefor no Model can be effected by multiple auras of the Same Name and esp. not if the aura is once per activation. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Fussy company give you Boring convo + Losing interest wich is quite nice. Especially if you move your target in to Poltergeist aura.

Yes that is True.

Its 2 ping damage or move 4" with Dora and Him + 2 nasty condition

I don’t get that. Push 4“ by 2 misery auras? Isn‘t that impossible due to the „Same auras“ rule? Or what do I Miss right now?
