Misaki crew advice

Left field question - has anyone had any experience with Shadow Emissary with Misaki? I've just seen the model for the first time and need it in my life.

It's a great independent, general mobility-beater piece that will work in any crew really. Whilst I haven't actually had him in my starting crew, I've often run the Effissary. I deploy the effigy on a flank then turns 1-2, walk and concentrate (and Storm of Shadows if needed), then morph turn 3 and kill whatever scheme runner they have on that flank or move to the centre and chomp someone with 2 focused attacks! After that, scheme or hunt as required.

If I were to start with the dragon, I'd probably still have him hunt a flank turns 1-2 as he has the mobility to move back in as needed.

I, also, haven't started a game with the dragon out--only with the Effigy.

But, when he comes out, it's great.  Can work independently, or with the team.  I don't recall there being a lot of synergy other than the Emissary is a good model and Misaki and her crew are a good crew.

Cool thanks guys. Does the emissary retain any focus the effigy has when it changes?

Any conditions ( and tokens) on the original model move to the replacement model. I would suggest a careful read of the replacement rules if you use the upgrade. It's a lot to remember, but it is simple to follow the chart in game as you do it.
