Adran Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Transformed models gain everything BUT the spells. So looking for other beasts with good spells doesn't help her much She can cast spells from other beasts within 6 inchs and she doesn't need to pick which spell until she has already done her casting flip. It is a great spell and well worth casting just to leave your options open. And Myranda can't make Ramos a beast herself unless she shapeshifts into a Raptor. But then it works.

Buhallin Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Ah, forgot about that one. Pretty much everything I looked at had the suits too finicky for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
total.boredom Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 This last weekend I saw a wonderful use for Myranda that just blew me away. You use her with Ramos. She hits him turn 1 for 1 damage,but makes him a beast. Then she runs around casting all of Ramos's spells. 6 Electrical fires in a turn makes for lots of amusement. I was on the wrong end of that combo as well! Made my guild guard rather unhappy... And by unhappy I mean dead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this includes a Raptor to beastify Ramos? I can't seem to find anything Myranda herself has to accomplish that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblyn13 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I assume this includes a Raptor to beastify Ramos? I can't seem to find anything Myranda herself has to accomplish that. Ramos and Myranda and a mobile toolkit. turn 1: mobile toolkit gives Myranda and ramos +:tomes. Myranda turns into a raptor attacks ramos gets enrage to make him a beast. Myranda turns back into Myranda. turn 2: Myranda now can use any (1) on Ramos as long as he's within 6" due to beast characteristic. Mobile toolkit continues to give +:tomes to Myranda and Ramos, because that's what he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buhallin Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Okay, so it does include a Raptor, effectively But for 2 stones, why not just use a Raptor? Apart from it not being out yet, that is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adran Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 The other nice thing about this is that it will give her the tomes required for her to cast animal instinct even when transformed into another beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I get for trying to have conversations about models I haven't actually played with at 1am. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calmdown Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 How does transform work with Rare beasts - can you transform into a beast you're already maxed on on the table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scurry Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) How does transform work with Rare beasts - can you transform into a beast you're already maxed on on the table? yes as it is still counted as myranda not a 3rd cerberus or whatever you turn into (edit added link) http://wyrd-games.net/forum/showthread.php?t=16022&highlight=shapechange Edited May 27, 2011 by Scurry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calmdown Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Good, just checking before I mentioned that with Myranda you can have 3 Shikomes on the table each with a Raptor/whatever hunting partner I think that Marcus/Myranda/2 Shikome/Filler beasts is probably one of the strongest power-hitter lists out there.

There are a few drawbacks to this, though. Myranda has a hard time getting a Prey - you have to pull off the shapechange, and then use New Prey for her entire next turn. Very expensive way to get a Prey. 2 Shikome are definitely heavy hitters, but at that point you've also got about half of your force in models that can only hit specific targets. That can be pretty easy for an opponent to exploit and leave your Shikome unable to hit much of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brdparker Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I have had a lot of success with a Myranda-kome shapeshift, with the Lawyer in back. Shikome's crow cast helps out the Lawyer's spells, and she can fly up and snipe spells at people at she wants (taking a nimble action every turn to boot, if she wants to).
