So I cant have more than 7 in cache? Must have missed something to begin with. 42 wasnt the number I had in my head haha... Awesome page though.. This list leaves me with.. 4ss Rasputinas included... Arcanists 50ss Crew Rasputina -- 4ss +Cold Nights - 1ss +December's Pawn - 2ss +Child Of Decemeber - 1ss Wendigo - 3ss Arcane Effigy - 4ss Blessed Of December - 9ss December Acolyte - 7ss Ice Gamin - 4ss Silent One - 6ss Snow Storm - 11ss +Sub Zero - 1ss

So to sum up a bit.. What I am looking at for Rasputina 50ss: Rapsutina +Armor of Dec. +Pawn Snowstorm, Blessed Arcane Effigy 2 Ice Gamin Acolyte This leaves me... 5ss for additional upgrades or just to keep in cache.

Daddys getting a new Effigy.. Oh yes he is

So blasts would force additional discards??!

Then Arcane sounds really nasty with Rasputina, forcing your opponent (potentially) to drop 3 cards while doing large amounts of damage sounds good to me.

Does Radiance work on mirrored spells?

Snowstorm is on my shopping-list for next month. Bought a Blessed yesterday and got an old metal Acolyte from my friend so 50ss is not far. From what i recon Snowstorm and Silent Ones should be on my list for future models. Anything else... Heard something about Metal Gemin..

So I had my first 35ss game yesterday and holy hell Rasputina can nuke. Faced of with Leveticus with 3 small constructs, Desolation Engine and 2 Waifs hanging out in the back and the game ended 3/3. I had the Crew box and borrowed a Acolyte. Decembers Curse did the heavy lifting with awesome flips but the dilemma I had was being out-threatened by his Desolation Engine. Put my Golem to far forward and get charged by the Engine, hold it back and its not much use. As an afterthough I could have pulled the Engine forward with Acolyte into charge-range of the Golem... All in all, fun to get started, very different from what I am used to (40k, Warmahordes) and certainly looking forward to my next game.

Not having read up on Colette yet, whats her playstyle?

Damage-dealing is a good place to start out i suppose =). So Rapsutina, Acolytes and a Blessed of December or Snowstorm would be a decent place to start for my first games? I have no illusions about getting just a few models once i dip my toe in it so Ill probably be sitting on a mound of models in a few months hah!

Sounds like Rasputina would be a good place to start then. Awesome feedback, thank you. Ill be able to borrow a full Rasputina-crew for my first games. Which Master would be a good complement to Rasputina later on?

Hey guys, completely new to the game and having my first intro game later this week. Im still looking at crews but got stuck on Arcanists. While im not extremely competitive I do enjoy winning now and then so before I start buying boxes im wondering which crews among the Arcanists are considered stronger and weaker? Just going by the looks of the models I do like Rasputina and Kaeris but got no clue wether they are competitive or not. So all advice for a complete noob looking to start out Arcanists are welcome!
