Has the attack "Terrorize." Is not terrifying. :lol:

I like the Art. I could use another Mimic.

The ability to reduce shielded on any models within 3" seems situationally powerful.

Additionally, the Danger Planet YouTube channel has the preview of the Bayou "Angler" keyword up.

It seems fairly tanky. Alot of Gremlins in seashells.

I hear a lot of podcast and blogs Say Hildegard is an auto-take. I can't see it.

She stops Soulstone use and has card draw... is that it? Am I missing something?

She doesn't stop Soulstone use that I can see.

She does have some good points.
She has a reasonable Wp,
She shuts down +flips for opposing models using focus.
She has card draw.
She has a reasonably good melee stat and a high likelyhood of getting +'s to her damage flip. This allows for either moving the enemy or healing friendlies if you get the right triggers.
Her free action lets you move and (potentially) attack with a minion, for the low cost of a 6 of any suit.
And if she can gain shielded she can ping a bunch of enemy models for 1 damage.

On the flip side, she looks fairly squishy if the opponent can ignore Cover or if she is by herself.

I don't know if she is an auto-take as I don't have much experience with Neverborn, but she seems like a fairly versatile (no pun intended) piece. Unless you need to add specific models to a crew to get certain synergies or work to a strategy, I don't think she is a bad choice.

Sorry, I meant focus not Soulstones.

Yes, not a bad choice but there must be something more to her.

Obviously she is better if you have more Grim models in your crew, but unless Healing and/or Pushing is a problem in faction, I think she is mainly a utility option, not a must take. I assume that those podcast guys play a lot though and maybe have additional insight based on schemes and whatnot.
