BlitzMonkey Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I just picked them up this week. I love the models. And I love how they work with McCabe. As I have very little experience with Misaki, they seem just a hair too expensive for her to use. Does anyone have any experience with them in a Misaki Crew?

Patzer Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Besides Smoke and Shadows there isn't any direct synergy with the Jorogumo. They can isolate models with Smoke markers and still hit them twice, which is nice. I have a hard time seeing that two will fit though, unless you are willing to part ways with Sensei Yu or play with six models. I guess you could put Smoke and Shadows on Misaki, but that is also a waste of Misaki's offensive potential. Maybe if you use a Disguise build... Overall there are better models for Misaki, in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patzer Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Ten Thunders 50ss Crew Misaki +Recalled Training - 1ss +Misdirection - 2ss +Stalking Bisento - 2ss Shang - 3ss Sensei Yu - 9ss +Wandering River Style - 2ss Shadow Effigy - 4ss That is my base for any Misaki crew, credit to "Blue Tack" (and Schemes and Stones). Its a really good base that leaves us with 27ss left. 24ss really because Misaki should be played with a 5+ in cache. 24ss could be two Jorogumo and a 6ss model, but if you want Smoke and Shadows and Yamaziko something else needs to go. If we take away Shang we are back up at 27ss. Yamaziko with SaS and two Jorogumo are 26ss which fits, but leaves us on only six models. To my taste that is a bit low, but who knows, it might just work. Possibly, you could put Smoke and Shadows on Misaki for the cost of maybe Misdirection or Recalled Training. That frees up 8-9ss if you don't want to take Yamaziko, and depending on which upgrade is omitted. For example: Ten Thunders 50ss Crew Misaki -- 5ss +Stalking Bisento - 2ss +Misdirection - 2ss +Smoke & Shadows - 1ss Shang - 3ss Chiaki The Niece - 6ss (possibly a Torakage or Oiran for another Last Blossom model, or Pathfinder for a jumping point). Jorogumo - 9ss Jorogumo - 9ss Sensei Yu - 9ss +Wandering River Style - 2ss Shadow Effigy - 4ss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard Deployment with Headhunter, Show of Force, Leave Your Mark, Detonate the Charges, and Public Demonstration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
