Raythus

I've avoided taking him for this reason; I've got nothing against people using him, but with any wargame I play I try and win without taking the popular 'big-hitters' (I.e Pedro Kantor for 40k etc etc etc) Saying that, his abilities are all really, really nice, and it IS very tempting to take him with Kirai - but it hinges a lot on placement and using him properly, which I can't even manage with the core parts of my crew yet =P

I've got my costume set-up but I came across a hitch, and I need someone's help. Basically I need someone tall and incredibly hairy to follow me around all day - in my shadow, practically walking on my heels - and not say anything. Just look menacing. Willing to pay. P.s Horns are optional and welcome

Heya Anthem, glad to see you're picking the game up. I too was enticed by Rasputina as my starting gang, and hers is already quite impressive right out of the box - the golem and 3 gamin each have their own tricks, and it doesn't take too much effort for the synergy of the whole crew to leak into your playstyle. I'd suggest adding, as mentioned, a Silent One - the addition of another Casting Expert that can buff your master is only a good thing. I also went and got a December Acolyte - remember that unlike other wargames you put your crew together after you flip for strategies, and I find the Acolyte works really well in objective games. His ranged attack, while not the most powerful or with the best range, also applies Slow which is brilliant for pinpoint debuffs on those tricky models you don't want to have to deal with all at once. Check out the Rising Powers book if you haven't already - the addition of Snow Storm, which is announced for a model release in July, is a fantastic part of the gang which will provide an expert powerhouse, just beware the higher cost Hope this helps!

That, right there, just made my day xD

See, these are the tactics I need to start applying with Raspy...I always flip the Black Joker on damage or Decembers Curse casts, so I'm too lost in being outraged by the joker to remember I actually get to draw cards. 5 or 6 games now, a Black Joker flip at least once in every one, and not a single time have I remembered =P

Hey guys, is this open? Should I PM someone with relevant interest?

Holy cow. Those are fantastic, I love the basing on the spiders, and a fantastic paint job all round

I'm loving the board, really inspiring, and that Coryphée is fantastic! Keep up the good work

I have to copy the above question, as if these were available in the UK I'd snap them up - Rasputina needs her ice pillars, and as soon as Kaeris is out some fire pillars would not go amiss. And then of course, once I had the flame pillars it would be silly not to buy Sonnia, but then it starts getting ridiculous and I can't afford food for the next few months =P

"Did you read anything in the Death Marshall handbook on how to sneak up on people whilst carrying a coffin? No? ....me neither..."

I hadn't heard that one before. Never playing a brawl. Never

Ahaarrr, thanks for the clarification, Ratty, and my subsequent excuse to never play a Collette gang during a brawl

With Dance Together and Dance Apart, it requires both Coryphée to be together, yes, and then sacrifice the models. The second Coryphée (the one who isn't using the action to Dance Together or Apart) is being targetted as such, but is a requirement for the action to occur. Dance Apart, however, means that both Coryphée cannot use Dance Together as an effect on the Duet is applied to both (i.e you split the wounds, counters and inability to use the action again) Does that make more sense?

If it says the model is not allowed to take the action in that round of activation, then you won't be able to use it again, even with a different Coryphée I'm afraid.
