Wessex Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 So I have a Ramos box set, and I love the idea of summoning spiders and the like, so will grab a few more Arachnids in the near future. I want to focus on Arcanists I think as my faction of choice to start with, and having noticed that Ramos' crew box is melee orientated I was wondering what are stand-out minions I could add to give me more flexibility once schemes and strategies have been announced. I know the post says Masters/Minions, but really any Henchmen/Enforcers or mercenaries will do. I was thinking of grabbing Marcus' box and some Sylurids/Molemen once they hit the release schedule, but again whilst the beast army is really cool aesthetically they'll be melee focused and I'd like to be able to shoot things.

bertmac Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Depending on what is in the box kaeris'old box had gunsmiths and fire gamin which are good at range. Ironsides i expect will have oxfordian mages which are best at range. December acolytes are very good at range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiralvorkraft Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 It's a mercenary, but the Friekorps Trapper might be my favorite ranged unit in the game. I've not played a ton, but the three inch push you get on every successful hit is killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessex Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 December Acolytes could be interesting, I was eyeing up Rapsutina as she has a box already (although I think the Acolytes are their own box I think?). What's the base cost of the Trapper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the base cost of the Trapper? The Rapsy box hads Ice Gamin and a Ice Golem. No Acolytes sorry it a box set only. The trapper is 6 base so 7 as a merc.

thebarbalag Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Rasputina and Kaeris are probably the best options for ranged masters, supported by December Acolytes, Gunsmiths, Gamins, Oxfordian Mages - ton of ranged attacks.

Metalhed Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I really enjoy the Acolytes. Been playing a fair bit of Kaeris lately and I still choose them over gunsmiths in most lists. From the shadows gets them where you need them from the start. But the real advantage is the slow + discard a card trigger. I find these great for disrupting my opponent's plans. If you run Howard (and why wouldn't you with Ramos) even if the opponent discards low cards it limits his options for Howard's kill trigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorsyn Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Lazarus. Grenade launcher, hates guild, has assimilate. Other than he is painfully slow what more could you ask for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Barrows Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Dawn Serpent gives Marcus some range while keeping the Beast Theme (though he won't help with Ramos being Ten Thunders). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
