rasputina is the weakest arcanist master, she can only play ley lines or symbols;
rasputina-just give her projectile atack ignoring cover and concealment(mayby ability-ignores cover, concealment when targeting models near ice pillars)ff never works with her; and make slow and push not only damaged models
blessed is very good, on the level of damned even without breath of frost
silent one is good
hoarcat are useless
golem-just give him laugh off(or when this model is within 2" from ice pillar-it cannot be moved by enemy models), he is fine, but opp just can place him in the ass of your crew and he will be running all game long
acolytes are too exspansive for what they are doing; and again they need maybe ability like:" ignores cover, concealment when targeting models near ice pillar"(maybe 2" will be enough)
ice dancers have no defensive abilities; they can push very far, but then they will die
snowstorm-tried to play him, but he is too weak in melee to survive and shokwaves are not the best way to play the game
gamins-they are waste of stones if u hire them from start of the game
