    M2E Marcus

    I now have canine remains. Would this be more of a replacement to the molemen or can they work together? At the moment, I have the m2e Marcus box, molemen and Canine Remains. Would it be ok to have some help with list building?

    Kaeris

    If I hypothetically make a 50ss crew using the following models: Kaeris Eternal Flame Fire Gamin Fire Gamin Fire Gamin Gunsmith Gunsmith The Firestarter Rail Golem That leaves me with 4ss for upgrades, what upgrades would be nice to give Kaeris, The Firestarter and Rail Golem? Also, is this even a good crew to use? Also, is Willie a good addition to her crew?
  3. I had another game with Rasputina vs Lilith. I think this made it worse than before. Granted the game did not have that much in terms of terrain as we are still learning, but Raspy got her ass handed to her. I always lost on my wp checks with Lilith pulling my gamin to a forest she created. They were also extremely fast with Barbaros while the Mature Nephilim can ignore my Ice Pillars. I also have a little difficulty with running the wendigo since it does not have any ranged ability that my opponent was not scared to engage it. I still need a bit more practice but nevertheless, playing Rasputina is still a lot of fun. I put Imbued protection on the Golem but by the time the golem started moving, they were already avoiding him. Lilith pretty much just summoned forests (which lasts the whole game? because the pillars only lasted per turn) then she would just lure my gamins to that forest and gets damaged. I really have a hard time playing against lilith. I used an acolyte and it did hit but barbaros moved so fast, he almost caught up to it. I also played against the Viktorias, I fared a lot better. I got a few good kills though they are melee bitches. Does any of you have advice on Lilith?

    Kaeris

    Can you play both The Captain and the Firestarter together? I am planning on getting the old starter box.

    Kaeris

    I am sorry to hijack this thread. Would the Rail Golem be better than the Firestarter?

    M2E Marcus

    I jumped in and bought the Marcus starter box. One thing I noticed was that the jackalope is freakingly small!!! Anyway, I also tried getting me mole men too. With the starter, 2 mole men and a few upgrades reaching 50ss, would you say that it could be a workable list to use and learn Marcus? I haven't started buying out of faction beasts yet because of the cards so I plan to use in-faction beasts at the moment. Shoul I have tried the Hoarcat pride instead?

    M2E Marcus

    I am mainly a Rasputina player. I have the December starter and most of the Frozen Hearts (Snow Storm, Blessed, Acolyte, Silent One) I was supposed to get the Hoarcat but it got lost in delivery. I have been playing a few games to learn Malifaux and really enjoying it. I was very curious with the Claw and Fang starter and by reading this thread and I am quite decided on buying it. My only problem is that I can only afford the starter and nothing else for now. My question now is that can I play Marcus with just the starter? Looking at their point costs, the starter box is already 34 points without upgrades. That might be too few models in a 35ss crew with only 1 upgrade. a 40ss crew would might mean the starter and more upgrades since I only have frozen hearts. At 50ss, I have an idea of putting the Blessed in with the crew since that is what I have. How would that go? My next question would be, can I still play games with just the Marcus starter? I can proxy some gamins as molemen or if my hoarcat arrives but that is basically it. I might get swamped with other crews with a lot of models. One of my main goals was to buy the starter so I get try the Myranda, Sabertooth, RSR and Cojo with Rasputina but since I already have him, why not play him.
  8. @dgraz - Thanks! I really think that I should have done better with the Wendigo. I think I played it too aggressively by using it's companion with the Ice Gamin and try to keep pressure on the Tots.I think my opponent's plan was to keep all my Gamins engaged to prevent Rasputina from using the Ice Mirror ability, and I used the Wendigo as a body guard to one. Its just that the Wendigo got pull into the forest. Thanks for the advice. I actually had a hard time using any of Rasputina's spells because I didn't have the Ice Mirrors to arc them. I pretty much had a melee match with those tots and ran out of models to arc. I also forgot about Raspy's Sub Zero because after the 1st charge attack, the activation should have already ended right? @Fenton Crack - Thanks for the tip, the new Markus box looks good. Overall, it was more my fault but playing really made me love Rasputina even more. I really enjoyed playing her.
  9. I finally got to play my Rasputina. I used the starter and the cards. I did not use any generic upgrades since this is just my 1st m2e game and she was great fun. I played against Lilith with tots, cherubim, mature nephilim and other proxied figures at 35ss. I armed raspy with Shattered heart and Cold Nights. I had a hard time with the speed that Lilith's list had but I was more than happy with the way my Gamins fared. They took damage well and can deal damage quite well. Raspy got killed by the Mature going really fast but it was more of me not protecting her well enough. The golem was really really strong though df 2 (which can be remedied by imbued energies) was weak but 10 wounds and smash is amazing!!!! My only bad performer was the Wendigo. I made the mistake of over extending it with companion and it got into this spell that made me follow a model (I forgot which). I then moved to a forest and was impotent the rest of the game. Should I have used EOP? I found that Magical extension was a little bit of a trap with -3ca. Overall it was a good learning experience but I did have the problem of deciding when to use December's Curse and when to Freeze them. Also, from reading the entries I see a lot of interaction with Raspy and Beasts, does she have good interaction with the MS&U? I am thinking if I want to get either the Ramos, Marcus or Kaeris starter box. I am wondering if I can interchange some of their models in the starter box. If so, which of the 3 would be of better use for Rasputina since she will be my main master.
  10. Maybe if she has normal speed, she would not need the ice mirrors anymore.
  11. LoL! We can actually do something like that since the old and the new Rasputina models are very different. It's like two different characters.
  12. Would you recommend using non Frozen Heart models as the beat sticks? The Ice Golem really seems terribly slow that it would take an enemy to just go around or avoid it. How does one mitigate it? Also, I really find the molemen ugly, can I use a gamin, hoarcat pride, an acolyte or silent one to fulfill it's role? I plan to use only thematic models for Rasputina. Is this even a good idea or should somebody kick me in the head for even thinking about it?

  14. Would a combination of Snow Storm and the Blessed of December be a good choice than a combo of Snow Storm and an Ice Golem?
  15. Thank you very much for the replies. Would it be a better alternative to surround Rasputina with Frozen Hearts than other Arcanist models? I mean if I would be playing 35 - 50 ss, would it still be better to just get all Frozen Hearts? From the threads, there seems to be some love for the Cerberus and Molemen. I already ordered all the thematic models for Rasputina, though I was surprised the Acolyte and the Hoarcat Pride are not Frozen Hearts Would this be enough for me to just juggle all the thematic models for Rasputina? or is there a non-thematic model that would work with her? I actually see a lot of beasts being paired with her but are they any better than Blessed and Snow Storm? On a side note: If I do get some beasts, it could be very tempting to get Marcus as my 2nd Master. There is already a tactica on him and buying his starter can get me a Cerberus and a Razorspine which I can use on Rasputina. Would the other non beast arcanist models work with Rasputina theoretically?
