Gunslinger is better at raw power and brutality. The Gunsmith gives you versatility. I like the gunsmiths in my Kaeris crew, but haven;t tried them outside of that.

I dont understand how he is a weak against ranged magic. He has good defense and is in soft cover no matter where he is (so no cheating or souls stoning). Melee magic attacks is were he is weakest against, and Taelor rips his head off without breaking a sweat. He is more survivable with Tina for the silents ones healing spell. I usually have a silent one near him anyways for the cover benifit.

I really swear by Snow Storm with Raspy. He speeds up her entire force, protects models against shooting, and is very survivable. Yeah he can be dropped like a rock against some lists, but those lists generally table Raspy's armies in seconds anyway (you will find some match up are amazingly hard to over come). Atleast one silent one is standard too. since you can ice mirror through her for one -1 to cast and she can increase the range of Curse of December by 3, she drastically increases the threat range of Raspy's spells. The Acolyte is good option, not the greatest for regular Tina though. You will want him though if you pick up Avatar Tina, since you need some type of Grave robber model on the table to generate the corpse tokens she will need in Avatar form. Also he can eat gremins and rats, which is very useful. And welcome to Malifaux, the game is amazingly fun.

Strong point

Tina was my first master. She was what brought me to the amazing win power of the Arcanist Go Team Tina

I got my new book and am really liking the Angelica character, my problem is, is she worth it at 35 ss? My usual list for a Colette crew is box set plus Corph Duet. So to take her at that level of a game i would have to drop a Performer, making Angelica less useful. Any thoughts on her and why to take her at lower cost games?

For a generalist crew that has everything i would lean toward Raspy. She has ranged in her spells, and melee in her constructs. They are also in general tougher then most models (everything should have some type of armor in her lists). As for fighting Sonnia is really a hard fight for Raspy to take on. She counters alot of what Raspy does best and melts her Constructs with ease. Best bet is to drain Sonnia's hand so she can't throw out counter spell, then have raspy blast away at here. Also targeting her army over her helps with this. If you play against Sonnia be ready for a hard fight.

I really love playing my colette crew for pure astectic reasons. Having a crew of western show girls is awesome. Her speed really helps with being able to complete your schemes. For pure raw stop I usually go with Raspy. She can kill most anything in the game with little trouble (atleast i haven't come across anything that has with stood her assault). I think Raspy actually does much better in kill strats and schemes. I enjoy playing Raspy and in no way way don't view has being anything but Top Teir. I haven't player with Ramos or Marcus, but am looking into Marcus cause i have his Avatar already. He looks to have a steep learning curve but is powerful none the less.

I think Taelor would work well, she has that hard punch in the face the show girls kind of lack (our hardest hit is a 4). You basically wanna look for something with a nice high ranged damage or melee damage. Collette and her girls have enough tricks, so getting a Merc with more tricks is overkill

If you seriously want speed with Raspy, try the Corphy from Collette's army. Raspy doesn't have any thing to offer them really, but at 14 points, you can't find a faster unit then them.

The showgirls are such a finesse army is maddening. You will probably loss your first few games with them. It happens with everyone i have seen us them. Don't give up though, once you learn how to use their speed and tricks they get really really fun. Plus its always nice to see the look on the opponents face as you hope around the battle field at lightning fast speeds doing your tricks. Every one always remembers the first time they were on the recieving end of the Cory.

I am thinking totally about synergy, but maybe helping to fill a whole that Collette's force has. She doesn't have any raw muscle stomp power (besides my corphee). That is why I was thinking Tina, cause she has raw stomp power as long as you have Soulstones (enter Collette). Ramos is awesome with all the constructs running around. And can an Arcanist list take C hoffman? He is from another faction. If so thats AWESOME!!!!!!!

Hi I have been using Colette lately and am loving figuring her out. I have been playing 35ss scrap but am looking for making a 50ss brawl. I have Rasputina as well for masters but am thinking of other possible options. I figure Colette can fill Rasputine up with SS and help her crush with gamin and ice mirror. But since i love my Corphee and Mannes, I am wondering if Ramos might be a better option. Since he is awesome with constructs. There is always the possiblity of Marcus for a speed and just brutal attack too. Anyone have any ideas on what is the best choice? PS-I am going for models that are out now, so no Kaeris for now

I had my first game with Collette this weekend, and I had the same problem with the Performers. The manquins were good at blocking charge lines and protecting the girls. But the performers just didn't hold up at all against anything. I think i might drop 1 set for something harder hitting. got to have at least one on the table for collette can save her self

Hey everyone I recently bought the Dreamer / LCBs box, and in it came an extra surprise. Its a model i have never seen and not in the book. She is a sexy nurse called Miss Pack (i think that name is amazing by the way and not lost on me). She has no type, but her card is Res green, and she has the exact same abilities of the Undead Nurses, just no undead only specifiers. If anyone knows anything about this model please let me know. I am assuming she is legal to use, cause she has a full on stat card. I just wanna know whats up with it. Besides being amazing
