Warharan Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 So I got me a Dreamer crew for Xmas and recently could buy a (painted) Pandora crew 2nd hand. Pandora was on my wish-list given the overlap between crews. Now with the end of my 'to-paint' in sight for the Dreamer crew I am pondering where to go next. Which crew/keyword would add new gameplay/style to Woe/Nightmare? Thanks a bunch in advance. Pic added of my (WIP) Dreamer crew. Because... reasons. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 I'd get something scheme-y. Zoraida is a powerhouse, and would be what I would grab next for competitive play. For casual play, Lucius, Zoraida, or Marcus for mobile scheme-y crews. For alphastriking crews, Titania and Nekima. Euripedes for sweet, sweet tech that almost nobody knows how to play (I certainly don't xD). 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Sells Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 I went from Pandora and Dreamer to Lucius and really enjoyed it. Lucius is a wildly different playstyle from either of them so he does a lot to keep games feeling fresh. He's not nearly as tanky or straight up death dealing as the Woes and Nightmares. But, he's got great scheming options and a with his obeys he has a shockingly deep toolbox, once you've figured out how to unlock it. Warning: picking up Lucius may lead to dabbling in the dirty dirty Guild. Also, your Dreamer crew looks great! I'd love to see the rest of them when you finish up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEV Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Nico color scheme and great job on the painting! I would definitely go with Mama Z since she's quite different and really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonnia might not have the most powerful keyword, but boy is it fun to set things on fire with her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regelridderen Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Amazing paint job. I started Neverborn with Dreamer and ‘dora - and the versatiles, get those. I really don’t need any more, so the rest is more of a painting project (If you check my signature paint thread, I’ve now got 15 crews across 5 factions). The only other Neverborn master I fancy is Lucius. I can’t really get his style though. So I was looking into getting Nekima for a little Nephilim boost to his offense, but not for the Nephilim themselves. Otherwise. I’d say, if nothing in Neverborn catches your fancy, move on or take some time to make some amazing terrain to support, what you’ve already got 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally you can make puppets using Vasilisa and dead models that drop scrap (but Widow Weaver is way better for that). The movement boost is nice as well. And some heals for your constructs (but Serena is a better healer). Personally I don't rely on stitched as much so haven't tried Vasilisa, but I think that is the idea. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regelridderen Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Vasi adds that extra speed to your crew, the ability to pulse out Staggered, and extra summons to free up Dreamers. She’s by no means mandatory, but many players swear by her and her little scheme puppets. Also the little pseudo Obey she’s got. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Sells Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Vasillisa is also a very fun add in to Pandora. Her and the Wicked Dolls combine to give her a lot of the mobility she lacks for scheming. Since Vasilisa makes all puppets pulse out staggered in the start phase you get some nice condition synergy. Plus if you're bringing Wicked Dolls there's more than a chance they'll die and getting to turn a dead Doll into a Stitched Together feels nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it ofte (especially with BBS when I need more mobility)... But I had this list full of janky models in my back pocket to max out with the stagger shenanigans (probably not worth it, but it seems fun for casual play). Dora, Stop Right Now...

Ice pilar generator + an other source of stagger. They synergize well with Lysa. Also you're not as hungry for tomes than in a Savage crew, so it should help them with their tactical actions. Bu as I said, mostly a fun list 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euripedes for sweet, sweet tech that almost nobody knows how to play (I certainly don't xD). Euripides is host unto himself. There's a good variety within the Savage keyword and that can lead to very different lists and play styles. Even those who've played him before might be surprised by him and what his keyword can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real downside is that there already is someone playing Euripides locally. And I'd rather lean into masters who no one plays.

74legion Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 The faction had access to a living healer. Now it is a model with an inflated price. Unfortunately, Candy dies very quickly - as it should be treated almost at point-blank range. That is, a Samurai shooter with a stealth upgrade does not bother them. And the only healer of the faction, right???. The Bokor of gremlins can be no less than the Bowman.But he's not touched. And this is almost an auto-selection.

And this is almost an auto-selection. 50%-ish of Neverborn models have a self-heal. Bowman is arguably a better support piece now with her triggers. You'll be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please note that if you're a completionist it takes something along the lines of 12 boxes including another master's core box to have everything for the swampfiend keyword. 😔😵 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
