Ig: is actually a quite reliable tank with his Armor(1), Parry(1), Ranged Defense (1), Melee 3, Counterstrike Defense, ... Soulless and Pile On Ki feat. He's got a lot going for him for his rice cost and can be quite frustrating to remove.
As long as Wei-Shu is around, he counts as a Horde Model so when he dies, you just summon a new one and with Soul Medallion, it'll only cost you 2 Ki to do so.
Wei-Shu: His Ki stat of 3 and his Mind Control Ki Feat alone make him worth taking. He also makes Ig Horde and Psychic Drain keeps your Ki pile stocked up for those Darkness and From the Shadows Ki feats.
If no targets are nearby for Psychic Drain, he can Focus to fuel your Horde Ki feats
Wu-zang: Curse Fate is one of the best debuffs in the game in my opinion (and experience) and Psychic Venom is a very nice damage feat which can usually guarantee that the targeted model will die within 3 rounds.
The first few rounds he'll probably focus to fuel your Horde Ki feats
Tra-Peng: I think Tra-Peng is an auto-include just because of his Stun Marker ability. No Opp Ki test, no Attack roll, simply here's a Stun marker for your beat stick. The Snare Ki feat is interesting but there are more useful things to do with that Ki in this list.
Trak: I love the model and Risen Sun Trak is much more interesting than New Dawn Trak. Cheap Ki boosts, nice Ki feats, Brutal on full attack, a reroll and Co-ordinated Attack Bakemono, he's the ideal pile on model to make a bad situation worse for your opponent.
Bakemono Boomer: These are the stars of this list. At first glance these guys aren't great shots at all. But then you apply Darkness. Your opponent's line of sight is now limited to 4", Boomer guns have a short range of 5". So if you stay outside of 4", your target is surprised unless it has Soulless or Sixth Sense. Things are already looking up for these little gun nuts.
Darkness also facilitates Shadow Walk, a 3" place with a Medium sized base, is actually quite some distance. So they don't even need to walk to get within 5" range and after the shot you Shadow Walk them away to safety for a reload.
First round kills can happen this way. if your opponent is running an elite list, he will be very unhappy that his 25 rice beatstick got blown to pieces by a 10 rice bakemono with a boomstick.
Bakemono Archer: Eh... the cheapest way to generate an additional Ki to fuel Shadow Walk, Darkness and From the Shadows. 2 Ki if you focus the bugger.
And who knows he might actually hurt something with his arrrows
Idol of the Deep makes Ki feats cheaper for models in BtB with it. Always nice.
This also works on Summon from the Shadows and Darkness. Is very nice.
Totem Pole gives an extra 2 Ki, since this list relies on Darkness and Shadow Walk a lot, those 2 Ki come in handy.
Sneak: I added in for those rare times that your Boomers get caught out in the open and unable to Shadow Walk.
This list is a menace, even my Minimoto fear these Boomers though I hope to have mitigated that a little by using 2 Fire Kami instead of 1.
They are vulnerable to list with a lot of Soulless, Sixth Sense, or just models with Move 5 that might catch those Boomers. So you should try to keep Ig, Trak and 2 summoned Raiders handy to protect them.

Fun list! I'm just getting into the Savage Wave and I look forward to giving this a try.
ReplyDeleteIt works very well but be careful when using it against newer players, it is very discouraging to lose an important model in the first round.
