Point taken. I was intending on using the Alps as a defending wall for Zoraida and the Doppell, slowing down whoever came at them, then obeying them to move to hurt themselves or turn on their friends. The Silent One and Gamin were to be my mobile unit initially, to tie up/kill things that would be hazardous to Zoraida, who on turn 4+ can quickly hurry around the board to fulfill any scheme and strategy requirements. By avoiding confrontations I meant I would try to avoid toe to toe battles, rather seeking to tie up the opponent early then sneak in a quick finish. I have found that just going out for a pitched battle only suits the Guild, in most cases But thanks for the critique, i'll just have to poor over the book some more to see how to make the Zoriada/Silent One combo work, they are just two awesome mini's that deserve to be fielded together.

I have been in search of a new Master and have set my sights on Zoraida.Her ability to obey and general trickseyness have great appeal. I had started out as an Arcanist, but have decided to put Raspy on the shelf till models for Kaeris and the Gunsmith come out. Then those bastards released the Silent One. So I am going to begin fielding non-fluffy, points inefficient list that looks like it could be a lot of FUN( the operative word in gaming!). We play 35SS at my LGS. Zoraida The Silent One (6) 7 Ice Gamin (4) 5 Ice Gamin (4) 5 Alp 3 Alp 3 Alp 3 Doppelganger 8 34 SS - Soul Stone Cache 6 The plan is avoid big confrontations and to hunt objectives more than anything. Of course my opponent will have other plans. The plan is to tie down fast moving enemies with the Aips, then gun them down with the silent one and the gamin. The doppelganger is there for extra obey or spells, either laying down the hurt at range, copying flight for position etc. I am without a heavy hitter, and could always drop an Aip and the Doppelganger for a Mature Nephlim but I don't want to go down that road unless it proves absolutely necessary. Does anyone have any experience with a similar list or insight to using the Silent one in conjunction with the Silent One?

My position exactly.

I like the look of that second list. I watched a Colette vs McMourning 30ss clash on the weekend..those doves are deceptively dangerous.

Hello All, After lurking on this forum for a while, I have decided to interrupt the informative conversations with a some what inane topic. Synergy in Malifaux is important, be it in line with the models abilities or the fluff, but these rules are by no means law. SO, I was hoping that some of you would share your non-thematic Arcanist lists, like mine below that I will be taking to a friendly FLGS tourney next month. 30SS Rasputina December Acoylte Razorspine Rattler Convict Gunslinger Bishop ...thats right, not a kitty or ice demon in sight Rather I have a speedy monster, an infiltrator, a shooter and a brawler, all to be backed up by a slow-poke caster. I haven't played it out yet, but I wanted to do something different, I'll find out next week if it will hold its own. So share, or discuss. Thanks.
