Question on Maturing Terror Tots Turn 1.

[vineuk]

Basically after readying a few post about starting off with Terror Tots and getting them to Young or Mature in turn one. I sat down and did some reading and came up with this tatic. I've only played Neverborn a few weeks, So I just wanted to run it past people to make sure I got it right and havn't missunderstood anything. Turn one goes like this :

Warband = 35 points
Lilith +4
Cherub -2
BB Shaman -6
Nekima -13
3 x Terror Tots -9
2 x D Merc’s -4

Total 34 points. Leaving Lilith with 5 shards.

Turn 1
1) Activate Nekima.
a) Cast 0 Nephilim Heart for CA + Mask
b) Cast 0 Blood Offering. Take 4 wounds and receive 1 Blood counter.

2) Activate BB Shaman
a) Cast 0 Blood Offering. Take 4 wounds and receive 1 Blood Counter.
b) Using Blood Counter cast 1 action Inject Blood on Nekima and heal for 2 and gain Blood Counter from Trigger.
c) Using Blood Counter cast 1 action Inject Blood on Nekima and heal for 2 and gain Blood Counter from Trigger.

3) Activate Lilith
a) Kill a Merc Using 1st action
b) Shaman & Nekima gain 1 Blood Counter from Blood Sence
c) Use the Mercs ability A Last Noble Deed to heal the shaman
d) Use 0 to use Brain Blood and get 1 Blood Counter.
e) Kill a Merc Using 2nd action
f) Shaman & Nekima gain 1 Blood Counter from Blood Sence
g) Use the Mercs ability A Last Noble Deed to heal the shaman
h) Use last action as required.

4) Activate Cherub
a) Use 2 actions as required.

By now I have 7 Blood Counters within 6in of your 3 Terror Tot’s. I can no Cast Grow and Mature adding Nekima Nurture Nephilim ability. I should end up with 2 Mature and a Young at the end as long as the cards work out.

I've chosen to use only 3 Terror Tots as I only have 3.

Feed back would be great to make sure I've got it right.

In the scenario described you'd only get 5 Blood Counters.

Either Nekima OR the Black Blood Shaman gets a Blood Counter from Blood Sense when a 30mm model is killed within range of both of them.

Reference.

You could however kill one of the mercenaries with a Tot instead and get a sixth counter.

[vineuk]

Thanks for that referance m8. I will have to live with the 5 and 1 from a TT killing a merc. Saying that Killing a merc with a TT is easyer said than done lol.

[Wodschow]

Actually you could do something else.. If you activate the Black Blood Shaman as the last one after both Mercenaries have been killed you could use their corpses as blood counters and then via the trigger make them into real blood counters.

[vineuk]

Thanks thats really helpfull. As long as the Terror Tot kills the Merc on his first activation. He will have 1 activation left to hopfully grow. If al lgoes well should have 2 Mature and 1 young by round 2 or worse case just 2 Mature.

I hate to point this out but the Desperate Merc costs 3 ss when hired by Lilith, not the 2 ss you listed.

It is hard to justify killing your own models when it costs so many soul stones to do it.

[Borthcollective]

Desperate Mercs do not cost extra taken out of faction. It's one of their abilities called comes cheap.

Missed that completely. Good to know.

a) Kill a Merc Using 1st action
b) Shaman & Nekima gain 1 Blood Counter from Blood Sence
c) Use the Mercs ability A Last Noble Deed to heal the shaman
d) Use 0 to use Brain Blood and get 1 Blood Counter.

Unless there was a change to Blood Sense I am not aware of, you cannot use Blood Sense and Drain Blood on the same kill.

[vineuk]

Yes you can m8 because the Drain blood is an action and Blood Sense is a trigger. I can't active Shaman & Nekima blood sence together because that would be 2 triggers. But because an action and trigger are different it's allowed.

If you goto the link above from Wodschow it explains it.
