Pyrflamme Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 We should totally negotiate a tie for first place with the Arcanists re: Righteous man. Then we get a werewolf addict, and you know the Arcanists would love to get a finger in whatever magic Hungering Darkness is slinging. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Darkened man is still the most intriguing one at present, as while we've seen Oiran and healing monks in our faction, a 10T Darkened is a new thing and could bring new elements to Lynch's play that we might not have seen before. Being 10T Darkened makes no difference to Lynch. But making him Darkened would mean even if he ends up, for example, a Gremlin, he is still able to be taken by Lynch. It's a win, even if we don't win situation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which seems to be the Ten Thunders' thing - winning, even if we lose. I will say, exactly what I'd worried would happen seems to be happening. The Ten Thunders are so divided along the lines of their masters' gimmicks that even if we win, it's not a win for a lot of us. I, like many earlier in the thread, wanted the Self-Righteous Man to be something of an upgraded Wastrel. However, if I support him through the faction I'm actually representing, I'd be getting a Darkened character, which is a corner of the faction I have no interest in. In order to get closer to what I want, I actually have to either stop playing 10T for a while, or deliberately lose to Guild players...which ties into 'winning even if we lose', I suppose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Thumbs up for the above post. I am up for a Darkened Henchman, though. Despite the fact that the best outcome out of all the stories is how he transforms into a werewolf... Arghh... Still, gotta pay my Debts. Actually, almost all his stories are good, only the Nephilim one is too generic, I guess? The lady is also supremely amusing and I've really started to like what I read about her. Her stories are all good, too (only the Arcanist one is sooo boring). Another Last Blossom/Manipulative model would be great for the faction overall, perhaps? Going for her TT as well. The kid, meh. I guess I have watched way too much anime to find something exciting here, except the Rooster part would be hilarious. Our own story for the chi healing is not bad, either - if she gets to learn some funky-a$$ Kung-Fu later. In this case I am actually debating whether to keep supporting our cause or to go Gremlin and test my smelly new pigs... There are also some interesting choices that we could make - for example, if we feel like we are going to play bad (or decide to purposefully drop it) we can declare another faction and win some by losing (kudos to the above post again). It's not like we are good at infiltrating all other factions and using them for our own gains, right? Regardless, the best strategy for the faction? Declare TT on all games, win all games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty standard for most factions. A werewolf isn't necessarily going to fit into a Raspy or Kaeris crew. Fire abilities favor one or two Arcanists far more than others.

Carecalmo Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I'll be playing the Trickster scenario later today. Since starting Ten Thunders I've been wanting a Last-Blossom Enforcer that could help the LB minions' attack actions. Hopefully the coming bout will make that one step closer to reality. With the chaos of blind deployment, I'm thinking of going with Misaki and her crew box, more or less. I only have Misaki and Yan Lo with associated models and a sprinkling of generic TT minions, so I'm thinking the ancestors are too slow to risk being spread out. Smoke and Shadows, and the generally high mobility of the Last-Blossom models, as well as their independence from each other, should be more suited to the task at hand. I'll let you know how it turns out! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadaverousbirth Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 I'll chime in and report my win for the Man with Asami too. Sensei Yu manned him from the Ressurectionist ghouls that tried to steal him away.

Carecalmo Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 I took the Trickster against the Viktorias and a bunch of the Barrows Gang. Man, Blind Deployment is crazy against the Viktorias.. but luckily Vik of Blood started within Ototo's 3" range! That, along with Chiaki interacting all she could with the Trickster from a position in cover, probably won me the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakshman Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Won a game for righteous game yesterday, McCabe vs Rasputina.

Dryzen Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 LooKing good guys, keep it up! I haven't had a chance to play any games yet sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvokeChaos Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Lost a chance at the Man. Was doing really strong against Marcus, but a bad choice on taking out myranda left him with an out: last SS to flip a severe and keep her alive. Of course he did, activated her, charged in, then popped a cerberus and the game went downhill fast from there But I made up for it with a child win against So'mer.

Wake of Godzilla Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'm wanting to get the man as another Brilliance character in the faction would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadaverousbirth Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I won my game for the Child this past week, against Parker. I doubt we will get that one but a child-monk healer would be neat. Mostly redundant though since we just got Sun Quaing (???) in Ripples.

Eclipse Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 There is an announcement about a new Penny Dreadful called "A Child Of Flame". This isn't alluding that the Arcanists won the Child encounter this round at all Edit: I was dead wrong. Silence me in the shadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 *drops a peacekeeper claw with a CLANG* I challenge Ten Thunders for the woman! Because a black sheep would be neat to make, and I haven't got enough models to run McCabe as 10T myself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
