psychocamel Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 While it sounds good I'm afraid it's no longer possible: Hungering Darkness Originally Posted by Model Fix Errata: - Hungering Darkness should have the ability "Never Touch The Stuff: This model cannot gain the Brilliance Characteristic." That errata does not affect the strategy you quoted in any way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Sorry about that, must have misunderstood the part in which HD sucks up Brilliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rameses Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Sorry about that, must have misunderstood the part in which HD sucks up Brilliance. No worries I was trying to be vague, because of the whole "thou shall not list stats" rules. lol But that last little bit off sucking up Brilliance that HD does is the a Closing Phase action that either HD takes damage himself or gives a Wd to a model with Brilliance and heals a Wd to himself.

Borzag Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Might quickly throw my 2SS in here. I ran Mr Lynch (you can FEEL the tune from "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" when you say that) last night in our Slow Grow, 20SS game. I took the following against Ophelia: - Jakob & Huggy - Illuminated - Beckoner - Depleted - 7SS And got my ass handed to me. the game was Steal Relic for me, Line in the Sand for him (diagonal deployment). By turn 4 I was down to just Huggy & Jakob, but holy crap I was ready to lay down some righteous vengeance with the two of them when the store was called shut Things I learnt: - DEPLOYMENT IS KING. I know that, in the modern game, movement is everything, but Jakob, or rather his Brilliance synergy crew component, NEED to deploy smart or they're toast. - Huggy will kill whatever he touches. This is not in question. - Jakob needs to run shotgun with a Beckoner or Mr Graves, or he gets left out of the party. I felt too isolated in what I was doing, with my crew effectively broken into 3 pieces (Illuminated + Beckoner, Huggy + Depleted, Jakob). - Black Jokers suck balls when you flip them during Jakob's card spell. Again, not in question. We treated this as an Ace/Eight (ie just discard); is this correct? I've got another 2 games before next Thursday, and some painting tonight. Will let everyone know how I go Cheers! Borzag ("Your'e a mean one, Mr Lynch....") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratty already said they count as even as well in addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
