They had cover during my first couple of activations. Their ability lasts until their next ACTIVATION. And they have From The Shadows. So they were deployed where I could not target them directly. Even so, Ice Mirrored with Rasputina to chain blasts to them. Soulstoned for a positive flip. My opponent cheated his flip high enough that I had a negative flip to damage. Minimal both times. Out of soulstones, Rasputina gets one shot per turn from then on for at least three turns, because that's how many Crooligans he had. Three. And since the rest of my list was predicated on her ice mirroring and my two Silent Ones getting off shots, I got my head handed to me on schemes.

Also, it was quite possible for them to change the ability on Snowstorm to give it to all models except himself. But they didn't. They gave a 4ss model the ability to cut in half all shooting attacks against its crew. From the center of the board. With no activations between coverage.

Oh, yeah, sorry, they put up that ability in the middle of the board, with no lines of sight to them, on turn 1. And it lasts til the beginning of their next activation. So there is no 3 or 4 activations. It starts active, it stays active. Against ranged-oriented lists, like Rasputina, it is brutally effective.
Also, Ironically, Snowstorm would kill one Crooligan, die thoroughly and easily to a counter charge from almost any melee-capable model, and then the remaining two crooligans would still give Rasputina the finger.
