Bodiless Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I played Tara for the first time against Levi tonight, and if I understand the mechanics correctly Levi pretty much shuts down her bury tricks just by existing. If he has sacrificed himself and is buried, Tara cannot bury any models. You could bury a model with Hannah or a Death Marshal if you happened to hire them, but not Tara. If you do bury a model while Levi is on the board, as soon as he kills something (and it is Levi, so he will) the model pops back out and Levi probably sacrifices himself blocking any further buries. Do I have this interaction right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatsInTheWalls Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I am 99% certain you have that right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durza Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Yes, as do Bete Noir and Killjoy while they are buried, or the Brutal Emmisary if he buries something, well, anything that buries pretty much does the same thing, thats why you take void wretches and/or Aionus to smack whatever is clogging up the buries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly If you play Levi vs Tara, you will want to Bury Levi at the end of turn, so Tara and her "freinds" won't hurt him. Aionus is hard counter to Levi and Dreamer becasue he can target them when they leave table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacks85 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Yes, it's a pain in the... You can't even go with the "Obliterate symbiote"...you're just dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Yes if Leveticus is Buried, you can't bury things with glimpse the Void On the upside, if you are going with a largely bury themed Tara Crew, then you can attack a buried Levi and kill him. And even if he doesn't die, taking away a bunch of his wounds before he activates will deny Channels, and if you win Initiative making it much easier to re-bury him without him activating, (and so taking one of his lives). So whilst Levi might change the way you have to play the crew, you change the way levi wants to play as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodiless Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Unfortunately I had planned to use her buries to move my own models into place and the like, so I didn't have a lot to attack him. If he had Killjoy or Bete my plan had been to just unbury them and take control, but since you can't do that to Levi it pretty much meant the end of my burying plans and Tara turned into a glorified scheme runner / action battery. It was my first game with Tara, and while I get that she is a tricky master with a steep learning curve, I was thoroughly underwhelmed. Particularly compared to Levi who just systematically dismantled my crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey_C Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Things a Tara (box set) crew can do to a buried Levy. 1. Void wretches can attack him 2. Karina can set him on him 3. Karina can make him slow (or fast if you want the void wretches to be more potent, but a fast Levy is scary). I think Aoinus is a great pick to add to a Tara crew if your opponent declared Outcasts. He also loves Karina to make a buried slow so he can beat the tar out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodiless Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 It sounds like if you have any plans to use buries, and you think your opponent has access to any kind of bury tech, your build has to skew pretty heavily towards Tara's themed crew. Otherwise you end up in the position I was in last night, where your opponent basically dictates when and how your buries can be used.

Khoregard Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 The nothing beasts' free upgrade Void Shield does still allow you to bury your own stuff with pull the void triggers and can accomodate a tara bomb reload, but its not going to be around every time as you can also break the upgrade to reduce damage on the nothing beast.

That is not accurate. It works the other way. Let's you use glimpse the void despite Friendly models being buried. 1 buried enemy model still stops glimpse the void.

Freman Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Yet another way poor old Tara got screwed. Obliteration really seems to have it in for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
