dannydb Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 for leylines the main arcanist tool are sandeep and colette, i don't know who it is your playing but if it was me i'd take one of them i've got neverborn round 2 this afternoon and nothing has been declared yet, i'm planning on playing yanlo and doing the kill my own chiaki turn 1 plan, with yin, izamu and gokudo being my other models that leaves me with 20 stones to spend on a tech piece or something like a dead rider or toshiro as needed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in for a super rough match I'm guessing, but at least this time I'll know how to use my crew! I'm going for the win 😜 7 hours ago, dannydb said: i've got neverborn round 2 this afternoon and nothing has been declared yet, i'm planning on playing yanlo and doing the kill my own chiaki turn 1 plan, with yin, izamu and gokudo being my other models that leaves me with 20 stones to spend on a tech piece or something like a dead rider or toshiro as needed I'm guessing they'll bring Zoraida. She is just far and away the best Neverborn master for the strat is my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted February 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 I can't decide between Dead Rider, Yin, or a tech piece. Rider is obviously miles better than Yin, BUT Yin can rip models off leylines which can be very strong. Of course if I was smart like Dannydb, I could declare Yan Lo and take both. The combo is better with Molly's activation control, though. Although it doesn't work on corner deployment regardless xD EDIT: Although against Neverborn, they'll use planted roots and sorta negate the whole idea anyway xD For me against Arcanists, I think it still works?

Maniacal_cackle Posted February 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 And I'm against Colette!! BATTLE STATIONS 😱😱😱😱 EDIT: Now do I go for the Rogue Necro combo so I can kill Colette if he doesn't realise what the combo is? Or do I be sensible and take good models for the scenario?

Maniacal_cackle Posted February 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 .... I forgot how efficient Molly's keyword is when you have to spend most of your stones on the keyword. It'd be hard to NOT fit the Rogue Necromancy into the crew xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannydb Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 So yes the game didn't go well.... Between me getting pinned in my deployment zone (wasn't expecting Pandora to triples walk accross board turn 1 to get in my face) and over extending yin turn 2 (wasn't in range to get reliquary off and was hoping to hold candy up.... It didn't do much So yer 8-1 loss for ressers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have Rider, or maybe Emissary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had neither it was all in keyword. I just got stuck fighting around a lava pit and had my crew shreaded by 1000 cute. Just had yanlo left come end of game And Plaag some of us like building our own lists, it's why I play faux over 40k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graf Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Since I recently played a lot against Pandora, but against a fairly new player, I'm curious. When Pandora was very aggressive, it gave me the chance to get rid of her early. It might set one back a bit in terms of scheming, but when aggression starts turn #1, that usually enough time to catch up. Why wasn't this possible for you? Did you miss tools to deal with her defensive abilities? Was your opponent able to shove his whole crew this far forward turn 1? Or what else caused you issues?

SEV Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 @Makhinais a really good Dora player. So don't feel too bad about it. Triple walk + box can be devastating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannydb Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 I yerh makhina played amazingly and really knew his crew inside and out. Yer I managed to take Pandora out turn 3/4 I think it was but by that point damage was done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinChan Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 I did exactly the same against Seamus in that pool&map with Pandora. If you're willing to lose your master to allow the rest of your crew to go score points, it's totally worth it. My 2nd activation of turn 2 was Pandora triple walk + open the box for a total a 13 damage and a bunch of stunned. People don't expect that and stay in their bubbles, specially being corner deployment. You also need to be ready to lose your master, since things could easily go sideways. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniacal_cackle Posted February 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 So I just need to play around Colette burying my lodestone carrier or kidnapping my models, Coryphee activation control, executes, and heals...

Azahul Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 At least the Lodestone carrier can't be kidnapped! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
