Playwise and aesthetically Kaeris! Fluffwise Lucius.

So yeah random magnetizes work nicely against thematic collodi crews

Have't used them since the errata but may be using some this weekend as i know one of my potential opponents is bringing collodi and it's a single master tournament.

a htk 3stone minion?

Collodi pure puppet list could work. Think my mate had 13 activations and killjoy with slow and 1ap being controlled by collodi makes him not so scary.

Rail Golem can potentially do unlimited attacks with a 5/6/8 damage track along with 3 attacks at 3/4/6 due to imbued energies.

Joss - Great tank Sabertooth Cerberus - When something needs to die it's a great guided missile! December Acolyte - Auto slow is awesome and a good damage track. Howard - More reliable than the rail golem although the golem is still my favourite. Also good for dropping scheme markers once he's killed everyone! Either Rail workers or hoarcats. Both are decent lowish cost minions that hit above their paygrade.

I started playing other factions really enjoyed lilith but don't enjoy playing any master more than my original choice Kaeris. When I came back to her after a number of months it hit me how much I had missed it and this keeps me centered and focussed. I purchase things every so often to keep it fresh and am well up for the TT oni master when she comes out other than that Ressers don't really do it for me. Jack daw is a side project due to fluff but not that bothered by other outcasts. Guild Lucius almost gave me depression but now trying him in nb with mounted guards in a non competetive setting and only other master Im bothered with is Lilith from time to time. Gremlins meh.

Each to their own!

I've never really felt the need for imbued energies on the firestarter no doubt it helps him fly across the board but I wouldn't generally like something as squishy as he is to get over extended and isolated from the rest of the crew.

Sweets and sours isn't really there as a gotcha its more for good use of incite. If someone can activate something that doesnt have to and gain paralysed they should be reminded so that they activate something else. As said above as long as no cards are flipped just saying this model will activate doesnt really affect the game.

I'd add arcane resevoir for Kaeris with the last two stones.

I don't play him myself but the Ramos box gives you howard an Joss who fit with most crews for certain strats and schemes. Johan i great I dont particularly like taking mercs but he synergises well with our units so well worth a look. Lazarus can be good in a ramos crew. You'll want an extra box of arachnids then maybe some ranged so either Willie or a box of acolytes would be my advice.

One issue for me with summoners is in pool events I think summoners benefit massively from this and maybe non summoners should be able to hire an expanded pool by say 20ss.

Straight up summoners arent really that much of a problem if I am playing competetively although the ones that draw cards and generally negate the negative affects of summoning, eg slow/drawing cards do seem to have no real downsides. Masters who summon whilst killing your stuff are probably worse as they are doubling the activation advantage.

So mounted guardsmen dragging illuminated or young nephilim are really good! Moved both up with lucius' walk ability then charged with the mounty. Biiig threat range!

I think firestorm games in Cardiff would be a great place to hold this!

Ha. I have played one game as NB a while back and wemt with dashel, 2x riflemen and a lawyer along with teddy a tot and a doppleganger. Want to move away from the dashel/riflemen combo as just picked up some perry miniatures to use as mounted guardsmen.

Many people played with him? I tried hard with guild but didn't do so well! Thinking tough minions like illuminated may have more success!

Lilith is fun she can scrap whilst also being able to stay out of trouble.

For ramos, another box of spiders maybe johan.

Only real problem is that they mix the two. Having two minions with 1" engagement ranges alternately flipping a squatters rights marker which is 30mm wide is a little silly.

The assasins ball was why I bought him!

+flips to attack and the bonus damage when locomoting plus triggering extra attacks can compensate for the lower ml stat.
