Minijunkie Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hey guys, Massive newbie here (like...never played a game yet). I have three starters (lol) and a bunch of models assembled. The dreamer, Pandora and Lilith. What I'm not clear on is can I mix and match a Master with different units (for example, the Dreamer and some Terror Tots)? Even if it's "legal", would it be severely gimped? Love the models and the fiction etc, can't wait to paint these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uktena Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Legal! You hire based on faction, not Master. Many models work well with different crew combinations, but more importantly you'll find some models are crucial for different schemes. You'll probably get more out of experimenting for yourself, but they absolutely mix. By way of example; if you get a marker heavy scheme pool and want to use Pandora - take Turbo Tots also. They will do great for you, and Kade's lure can be used to trigger pounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minijunkie Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 So if I understand correctly, you wouldn't go to a game with a force already made and then try to succeed...you wait until you have a scheme and then you build a force and play? Need to paint more models before my first game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minijunkie Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Ah, sorry I looked at the setup rules and answered my own question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asrian Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yes...pick faction, draw schemes, build crew based on strat/schemes, reveal crew, then finally pick schemes you plan to take. All Neverborn masters have access to hire all Neverborn models (anything you find in any of the crew boxes labeled Neverborn, with the noted except of Lucius' crew box as everything in it is Guild unless he hires it). As a fellow Neverborn player (Pandora was my first master), welcome to Malifaux. Also, might I suggest looking into Insidious Madness for future purchases (they are Rare 3...at least pick up 2 of them). I've all but replaced my Sorrows with them for my Pandora crew. They don't do the 1pt damage for failed WP, but all enemies in 4 have to discard a card before they can cheat a WP duel, which makes emptying your opponents hand or causing them to make tough choices nice. Also, they (Insidious) have walk 7, incorporeal, and higher Df and WP than Sorrows, so tend to stick around longer. Add to all this, that they are Nightmares, and Dreamer can summon them on a 9 . Hell, I've used them with Lilith as well as they are fast scheme runners who ignore terrain (I use them with every master eventually). They are just overall nice.

Dryzen Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Asrian.... I think you just convinced me to assemble them for my Lucius crew.... Fees for everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
