OracleToronto Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 So I have been in a list building zone for a few weeks now while reading or listening to any tactics I can find on a plethora of different masters. I have to say reading the fluff piece in the newest book about Tara and Karina and their weird relationship and the amount of personality Tara has peaked my interest - as did an AP controlling play style. I am happy that they have "fixed" Karina considerably by giving her the "Faces Of Oblivion" 0 upgrade as I felt it would be a shame to not play these girls together. I then started pondering ways to improve her odds of getting the necessary crows - adding Hana was an easy choice granting me a +1 hand size... and then I gazed over at my two Bloodwretches from my starter kit and thought ... wow If i toss the "I pay better" upgrade on Hana and have a bloodwretch activate within the 10" (while already having "fast" added on it by Tara at the beginning of the turn) - it could discard a card to gain Focus, Activate "rage builds" for 1 AP then charge for the remaining 2 Ap. Taking advantage of it's "Furious charge" rule This would give the model 2 Ml 6 attacks with double positive flips - and a positive flip and +1 to damage giving it an impressive spread of 3/4/6 and anytime damage makes it through you'd draw 2 cards and discard one. With the potential of drawing through an additional 9 cards a turn I feel like fishing out the high Crows for Karina just got a whole more likely. So with this in mind I came up with the following List. 50 ss Tara Outcasts List. Master Tara Upgrades: Obliteration Symbiote Totem Karina Upgrades: The Faces of Oblivion Henchamn Hana Upgrades: I Pay Better Enforcer Bishop Minions Bloodwretch Bloodwretch Void Wretch Void Wretch Now comes the tough call - with only 2 ss left do I take Tara's Knowledge of Eternity upgrade or Hana's Ancient Tomes upgrade?

SinJ Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I would definitely take Knowledge of Eternity. Positive on Initiative flips is a huge deal. The Bloodwretch seems like a cool model to experiment with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erorior Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I've thought a lot about Blood Wretches and Tara as well. The potential with fast seems nice and should allow them to hit way above their pay grade. Tell us how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OracleToronto Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I am wondering if I should swap one Blood Wretch out for another Void Wretch and use the left over points to purchase Hana's Ancient Tomes upgrade... It feels like I am missing an opportunity if I don't take advantage of her ability to burry targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
