orkdork Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I have been playing around with this "Net list" crew that the current top UK player claims he uses in 80%+ of his games, and it really seems to be the best overall crew I have seen. Lilith, beckon, wings Primordial magic Nekima Graves Doppelganger Johan 2 tater tots (flex) Full cache The crew is very flexible and leverages tangled shadows very well. Hard to kill means you can yank dudes back to safety. Doppelganger has show you the door and rebel yell to copy. 2&3" reach plays very well with swapping to own dudes. And all that min 3+ damage rocks when you have a control hand of all 10+ cards. Finally, with red joker in 1/5 hands and cheating initiative, the alpha strike from nekima can easily drop masters. Anyone else tried/faced this list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach_5 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Haven't tried that particular build, no. I'm a bit of a purist and don't take mercs. Looks strong though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orkdork Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I do think Johan is the right model for his 7 ss in this list, but I'd say Dopple, Graves, Nekima and the two Lilith upgrades are the real heart and soul of the list. I'm not recommending you play it though :P I found it so much better than every other config that it made the crew stale. Its saving grace is that it's a super-flexible list, so it's definitely fun to play. However, I don't think it is fun to play against. Of the masters we've been playing, Lilith seems heads and shoulders the best. The only reason she doesn't completely dominate our games is that the only tier 1 non-masters in Neverborn are Doppleganger and primordial magic (IMO). Walds, Silurid, Juju, etc... are awesome, but they're not Acolyte, Cassandra, Austringer, Rotten Belle tier (again, IMO). For references, our current master pool is: Nicodem Molly Seamus Lilith Zoraida Sonnia Perdita Lady Justice Colette and soon, Rasputina Personally, I think Molly, Sonnia and Colette are all awesome. But none of them does as much in a game as Lilith, in my experience. And of those four, I think Sonnia is the most situational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach_5 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yeah, board control and insane melee damage are are potent combo in Lilith, makes her incredibly flexible and she can work with pretty much any crew build you want, she's not tied to specific types of models like Sonnia who really needs other models around that can pass out burning. No one taken Pandora yet eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orkdork Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 She was going to be my next master until I tried Colette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orkdork Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I am most excited about the dreamer, and would have already jumped on him except that stitched together and insidious madness are not out in plastic :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orkdork Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 What do you typically take with Pandora? I thought her rules looked very cool, but her crew box models weren't a draw for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach_5 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Candy is a regular, and I'll often find room for a sorrow or two. Haven't played with Poltergeist at all as I don't have the plastics and my metal isn't on the right sized base (plus primordial magic is just too good in my books. Other than that, doppelganger almost always and then other models to suit the strat & schemes; Nekima, teddy, Waldgeists, silurids, hooded rider insidious madness, stitched, etc. Lots of options for her crew to run with, as she is pretty flexible.

Mach_5 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I've used old metal horrors as insidious madness forever, they're pretty much a perfect proxy. Plastic should be out soon though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orkdork Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 How about barbaros? His kit seems a great fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
