My local group doesn't seem to mind too much and my mate I play with doesn't either. So I think the desert theme is the most realistic really.

So......

1) What could a desert-theme Wendigo be?

2) Are the Silent Ones more combat-based or magic-based.... affects the sort of model that would suit them.

3) what about a desert-themed Blessed One?

Few questions about Raspi....

1) I read somewhere about the Wendigo giving Raspi fast...... how is this done?

2) Myranda - I cant find the thread but there was discussion about simply taking Myranda and then turning her into a Blessed of December to save a SS but also give some flexibility... so is there any reason to NOT take Myranda instead of a 9+ SS beast?

3) I assume the buff on damage from Ice Gamin affects ranged attacks as well.

4) Does the "explosive demise" affect friendly models as well?

5) Armour stacks right? So if one ability grants Armour +2, and another Armour +2 then this is a total of +4 armour. But armour cannot reduce damage to less than 1 without a special ability that grants such.

But its not as if the stock has a sell-by date... it doesn't go off. So they would eventually sell...

Why would they not offer this option? It's another revenue option.

I can usually do most evenings UK time from 7pm onwards.

What's this new-fangled twitter doowhit? I have no idea how to use twitter...

As it says in the title.... I've been shown how it works, now need to put in practice. Be gentle....

I know they are both masters.... I was thinking of a Brawl with two masters. Could be interesting for ultimate blastiness....

Though Kaeris and Sonnia could be equally interesting with synergistic fiery doom.

Both sound fun. Maybe I'll get both.... I am guessing they cannot ally.

Wonder how Kaeris would get on with Raspi....

Will be boxed up in the next 5mins Just remember the books are heavy so we use myhermes or collect+ so not quite as fast as the RM, but you should still have it by the end of the week.

We always (apart from the odd stock error) keep the stock accurate on the store, the whole reason we setup valiant was being fed up with ordering items and not getting them because of stock errors, so we dont take pre-orders, and only place items on with stock we have.

We are building up the M2E stock at the moment but should have all the new stuff on the store by the weekend.

thanks for your orders

If Leeds was closer I would run up and kiss you!.... or maybe a manly handshake :1_Happy_Puppet1:

Weekend is good for me!

I may have to investigate your site further...... it may end up emptying my wallet and making my wife unhappy. Mwahahahaha

I've played Raspi a few times and she is fun to blast stuff with. She does have blasts but you need to get to Moderate or Severe damage for them. Curious how Sonnia compares... her 2.0E model is so much better now.

I have a Tara crew.... the Tara model got a bit beaten up but the others are all ok. If you are interested drop me a message.

We've got 5 copies of 2E left in stock

You sir have my custom! PLEASE say you are sending me one.... it said it was in stock on your website.

Who is more blasty? Pro's / con's of each?

Not necessarily same across the entire faction, but a crew like Raspi where there is the Cult of December theme, this ties the models together... sure there may be the odd "loan" that will look different.... but the central theme should have some cohesion.

So is there ever a reason to buy the Blessed of December outright then? Simply take Myranda and save a SS....

Where is the disadvantage? This goes for any beast that costs more than Myranda.

Must be due to wearing high heels on ice...

I like the Golem and the Gamins. The Wendigo I've seen detached from the bloke and it looks better leaping over a rock or such.

Raspi I do not like. The only version I vaguely like is the alternate version where she is flying. But she does not convey the same meanness as her rules would indicate. Sonia and the others at least look like they mean business...

What I am saying is that I am unsure on how to theme the Raspi crew... I could simply replace Raspi with another model from another range or something, but not sure who... I could use the Khador Greylord from Warmachine possibly, but then what would the other models be (besides the constructs that could stay the same).

So I am asking what group of models could make a theme so that the crew looks like it ties together yet also fit within the Arcanist range.

I still like, and come back to, my druid themed crew however can I justify the huge cost compared to a normal crew...

Not saying she needs more mobility... just curious in terms of game design vs fluff. I understand that something had to give. But when you have gamy-legged necromancers, withered geriatrics and diminutive gremlins faster, it does seem a bit strange that a young healthy human is slower...

Why is Raspi so slow? Wk3 makes her the slowest master. I can see no reason for this to be from a fluff perspective and there would seem to be plenty of masters who would make sense being slower.

Any reason?

So I really like Raspi's crew... in terms of mechanics and rules at least. Raspi's fluff... meh... I can take or leave it. For a cannibalistic ice doomsday cult, her model doesn't really.... inspire me. Plus why the hell would anyone want or offer to work with cannibals! Didn't really work out for Joss....

The ice golem and ice gamin are pretty good, quite like those. The Wendigo.... the wendigo is ok but don't like it being attached to a superfluous model.

I did have an idea of using PP Hordes Circle of Orboros models and create a druid-themed force but pricing it up, it would cost £100+ to do the crew. So that is pretty much out of the window...

Then I had the idea of a cenobite-freak crew using Dark Eldar Urien Rakarth and such... but maybe that would be too OTT and so probably not good.

So I could go back to the icy theme and try and find an alt for Raspi, Silent Ones and so forth. Maybe a wizard or such... Maybe something completely different. I had the idea of "Nurgle" (for want of a better concept) themed one but then that wouldn't really fit with the rest of the Arcanist faction.

Maybe Khador models... they have an icy theme. But no idea what to use...

So.... what other themes could work with the Arcanists? Any ideas welcome.

Could do a desert-themed crew instead of ice. Helldorado Saracens....

But only this model really stands out as appropriate... unless others think differently.

Can you only claim a VP from a scheme marker once?

So say you have three models within the distance of a scheme marker, then could you claim three VP's? Or could only one model claim the VP so 1 VP.

Hmm.... ok I am a reasonably patient person I'd like to think but really....

Just rang my local store and the big main rulebook is delayed.... again!? It was delayed at the beginning of January... now beginning of Feb.... and that's only their best guess.... could be longer.

Why is it taking SOOOOO long to get these things published and to the stores?

Can Myranda shift back to human form once she has gone to beast-mode?
