Neverborn on a budget

[Rameses]

Have you considered Hamlin T.R.C.? He has cast expert and 3 wp based spells, one of which is obey, as well as a 6 inch "Nix" range of don't come near me.

Yes I have but I am at the point that I want to stay with in the confines of "Neverborn" atm. I'll expand to Hamlin after I have a core of "Neverborn" to try out.

Are the twins considered one clamshell?

No they are come in individual clamshells but they are relatively cheap, so that wouldn't be a problem.

oh crap yeh sorry your right it is double suited :P i just assumed when you said that you meant double mask :P tbh i dont really get why the primordial has that tome... is there any neverborn master that actually needs them??

Depending on the strategy, but I think the Siliruids are great. My group really tries to kill those things before I get'em running in the game. The leap action is amazing as well as blood frenzy.

So been retooling how I approach this, and pretty much gave up on designing it for newer players. Still a good guideline to follow, but Morella's approach is better for somebody just starting. Easiest way to learn the game is to learn with a single master instead of trying to learn several at once. What this changes does though is opens up the options for what to take for each factions. Mainly masters that I didn't include due to difficulty are on the table for building the faction. The problem I'm running into with Neverborn Boxes is that a lot of boxes need certain purchases in order to work. Zoraida needs a Voodoo Doll, Lillith needs Young Nephilim, and Dreamer needs Day dreams. While Pandora and Collodi are less specific, they both need additional models beyond their box to get better results. So with my limited amount of never born knowledge, what is the best way to do 3 neverborn masters under 150?

I have no idea why that tome is in there. Not a clue. Maybe it was a holdover from v0.8 that was never changed and then was left in just to puzzle us?

Personally I'd go:
Dreamer box + Daydreams ($26 + $9.50)
Collodi box ($26.50)
Zoraida Box set + voodoo doll ($22 + $9)
Doppleganger ($11)
Teddy ($11)
Arcane Effigy ($11)

That's only $125 (prices current costs on amazon) and gives you three masters. Collodi can hench for either of the other two. The stitched togethers pull triple duty and fit well in any of the three forces. The doppleganger and arcane effigy are great utility pieces. Maybe expand with an Insidious Madness or Widow Weaver and some Wicked Dolls.

Not coincidentally this is almost exactly what I have for neverborn. I chose it to give me a nice flexible base of models for not much cost.

Collodi box, Lilith box, Primordial magic blister, Zoraida blister (use the extra dolls for a voodoo doll), Young nephlim blister, the twins, tuco, Pandora box. Thats about $130ish I think. I'm not a fan of Zoraida's box so I recommend just the blister for her. The gups are subpar if not in a Marcus crew and JuJu is Immune to influence so cannot be obeyed.

I find the silurids to work well without marcus. They're pretty much the ideal objective runners. Juju, while not earth shattering (no pun intended) is a very good objective holder. Unlike a teddy he's got some mobility by appearing where you need him, and he's got comparable ability to absorb damage (lower def but more wounds).
