Buying 2 crew boxes

Recommended Posts

I will be traveling to usa the next month and i want to buy some new crew boxes. I am an Arcanist player, I have Ramos and Colette. Now I want to start playing neverborn.

I really like Lilith and Pandora. I wish to know if this crews uses the other models or I should choose one on them and buy another one. Which boxes do you think combine the most?

Those two boxes... eeeh. I wouldn't recommend them if you're looking for cross box mingling. Kade can go well with Lilith in that he's another melee beater with Pounce. Barbaros can go well with Pandora in that he can force a lot of Willpower tests with Challenge. Tots make good scheme runners anywhere but they don't exactly have much synergy with Pandora, you're better off with Insidious Madness's which have additional Willpower debuffs which support her.

They're good crew boxes for starting those masters thematic crews, but not if you're looking for two boxes that will mingle well.

I don't think any other boxes necessarily mingle well with Pandora, you want a lot of the smaller boxes for her. Insidious Madness, Doppleganger, Iggy, Primordial Magic, Teddy, etc. If you're going for two crew boxes, I'd go for Lilith and Zoraida. Silurids and Bad Juju can work well with Lilith, and Tots and Barbaros can work well with Zoraida.

Lilith + Pandora

I think Lilith + Pandora combination is not bad. but I don't recommend it, neither. As -loki- said, Terrot Tots are good models for non-scheme runner boxes and Barbaros is very good henchman for pandora. So if you want to build Pandora crew, Lilith box may be useful. And Candy is good henchman for Lilith. But they need other models to reinforce their crew. I recommend some models like Doppleganger, Waldgeist, Illuminated and Lilitu for both.    

 

Lynch + Others

Synergy of Lynch Starter is great. Because it usually count as Illuminated (3) Box to other masters, And Illuminated is one of our greatest minions. So I think if you don't have it, you will buy it someday. (or build your own Illuminated models.)

Thank you for the awnser. I thought about Zoraida but I have Colette and I think their playstyle are very similar. 

I will think about buying Lynch. 

I thought about Pandora and Lilith because I thought I could buy another model that could work for the 2 of them like Doppelganger, Teddy, Nakima, lilitu, maybe a mature nephilim. What do you think of this models to support this crews?

Pandora and Lilith are a great pair of Masters to learn getting into Malifaux. They both function very differently, and have different roles, plus, Barbaros in a Pandora list is a riot. If you're not planning to depend on what's in the boxes, this is a great Neverborn start. You will want a Doppelganger, Teddy, and Nekima, all of which are great with either Master, maybe some Waldgeists and/or Insidious Madness to taste.

I didn't recommend Lilith and Pandora because it sounded like, for budget reasons, you wanted 2 crew boxes that would mingle well. If you're planning on buying more models, as said, they're a fantastic way to enter Neverborn. Both have very distinct playstyles and most extra models work well in both lists.

The Nephilim box is pretty much for Lilith. It opens Grow lists (which you'll want a box of Black Blood Shamans and Nekima to get the most out of).

Nekima can work in both. She's really expensive, but she's a really fast beater henchman that can really efficiently hunt down solo models like scheme runners. In a Grow list she's a good source for Rapid Growth and her upgrade can spawn more Tots.

Teddy works in both. He's got particular synergy with Pandora since Terrifying 13 is great for getting stuck in and causing more Willpower duels, which in turn trigger Misery for more damage and his own Smell Fear for more melee hits. With Lilith, he fills the same rols as the Mature Nephilim, but he's still fine as an alternative beater.

Lilutu is good for both thanks to her Lure. WIth Pandora that Lure is another Willpower duel that can cause Misery auras, or pull enemies into those auras for other models.

Doppleganger is just great with anyone. Particular synergy with Pandora is Manipulative 14, which is pretty hard to win, and is another Willpower test.

I second Lynch simply because Illuminated to Neverborn are nearly as effective as Acolytes are to Arcanists. 7ss models that are super effective for their cost. That being said, I don't often see Illuminated with Lilith. She might be the only master in the faction that doesn't need them. Collodi, Lucius, Pandora, Zoraida all love tough beaters to boss around.

Lynch is a good starter to go with Lilith, Lynch loves tots, if you get the ace of masks in your hand tots get permanent sprint. Illuminated are great with everybody. 

I cannot agree with this more, you can do a lot with this I would recommend getting a Primordial Magic as well.
