Hello, please help me choose a crew. Im begginer and now choosing a box set. In our club plays on 35pt.
That i can build for 35 with 1 box? No too hard

It depends on the box- some have more points than others.

Are you looking for a complete crew in a box, or are you looking for a good beginning master, or both?

The former, I believe Ramos and Perdita have the highest point boxed sets, though most should be able to stretch to fit 35 fine with upgrades.

The latter, any of the first book masters (meaning anything currently in the m2e section of their site) should be fine. Personally, I don't like Lady Justice's starter set because she comes with somewhat niche pieces (Death Marshals aren't good in large groups and her totem isn't very good), but most are solid options with few outside purchases.

For complete crew on 35pt with good power. May be sonnia criid?

Straight out of the box, Sonnia's crew isn't the best, mostly because she summons a lot, so unless you're suffering quick attrition then you'll need more witchlings.

Regarding power, she's pretty strong and her crew meshes well.

and that you can advise in 2e crew box? im like this crews(just how its look):
McMourning
Pandora
Sonnia
Lilith

i can buy some models out of crew(like 3 witchlings) but no too many(for first try)

Pandora, everything I've heard, her starting crew is strong with her and a teddy will shore up her weaknesses (durability/raw strength)

Sonnia, a pack of witchlings will round her crew out plenty, then long-ranged support and a friekorps flamethrower.

Lilith, the young/mature nephilim pack is the clear choice.



McMourning is tougher, look for stuff with poison... don't have enough experience to suggest specifics, since his immediate options are less obvious.

dont understand why i need adding witchlings? starter have 3 and somael = 8 points left. i need >3 on table?

Because one of her strengths is Reincarnation, which summons more witchlings.

and 3 is not enougth?

The problem is, you both want to start with them because they hand out fire effects, which Sonnia wants, and they're summoned by sonnia. You could always start with 3 and use empty bases or something until sure you want more.

buy sonnia starter+3 witchlings. that main roster you can advise?

Yep, with the friekorps specialist as the obvious merc if you're fine with metal models (the plastic hasn't been released yet)

im thinking stop on sonnia+3 witchlings. may be i buy some more but not this time.
that roster be good for novice with this models?

Yep, not a lot of variety, but it should be effective.

I'm new too and picked up Sonnia. I also recommend the 2nd batch of witchlings for summoning. Although competitively there are other options for her, Austringlers (spelling?) are nice but at 50 more bodies means more witchlings to summon and they are great 1 piece models easy as cake to put together. Witchlings are also very powerful for their remove condition ability and are generally solid in combat. I picked up the Seamus box for the wife and I think my 3rd get will be the McMourning box as nurses are good with Seamus and Witchlings are good with McMourning even if just to remove conditions.
