Okay, I came up with this idea while reading about totems.
It seems situational, but could be very useful for scenarois based on grabbing counters.
Lillith casts transposition on a companion nephilum swapping places with an enemy model.
The nephillum then does his thing, either grabbing a counter, or in the case of a matuer nephilum, "kidnapping" someone. Then the Cherub (also companioned to lillith) casts transposition to swap the nephilum back with the original swapped target.

You could potentially vollyball a mature nephilum in and out of your opponents crew, causing significant damage with no real fear of reprisal. All provided on having the cards in hand to cast the spell, and your opponent not making the resist flips.

Thoughts?

nice idea, but note the enemy model gets a save against the swap.. might be safer to have a tot sprint to a desireable location rather than risk a failed transposition.

also gotta realize the opponent would get two activations to lay the hurt on your model (one after the port, then another after that model deals some damage out) ... gotta keep an eye out for opponent's companions that could activate multiple models before you get a chance to port him out of there.


hhhmm.... though come to think of it if you have a mature companion itself w/ lilith then it can go immediately after being ported... would only give the opponent one activation to smack him back...

Incorrect, with the nephillum AND the cherub both companioned to lillith, you can transport him back before the enemy gets a chance to activate anything!

touche salesman....


forgot the neph would have companion from lilith and the totem would have it through itself ><



edit.. wonder if it'd be worth it to add teddy and baby cade into the mix and have a force almost devoted to swapping itself around on a whim...

Add a Doppleganger to that crew for an extra casting and further frustrate your opponent.

The Doppleganger could also copy liiths companion ability if need be to give you a fourth model to use before your opponent gets to activate a model.
