Native Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I just bought a ophelia box first edition painted and war pig and farmer and was noticing there is no youngs. What would be recommended to add on to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Lenny. Slop Haulers. Wave 1 and potentially wave 2 arsenal decks to get the current rules for Ophelia if you don't have them, as the v1 cards are not compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONSTERNOGGIN Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 You may be able to find a lone M1e Lenny floating around on the interwebs, but at some point you will need to expand into the Bayou Boss set so you may as well set aside a little cash for the box. I second Fetid on the slop haulers as well. Don't mourn the loss of the young per se`, you can proxy Old Cranky and you won't even miss them. Welcome to the bayou! Once you get the hang of things, be prepared for making folks rage-quit. Ophelia can dish out the pain, and Francois mops 'em up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 You can also find metal blisters of the Young LaCroix. Many Gremlin players don't appreciate them but I like them quite a bit. Still, Old Cranky, as Monsternoggin suggests, is a very fine substitute so I wouldn't say that they are indispensable or anything.In any case:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Malifaux-Outcasts-Young-Lacroix-3-pack-WYR-5057-/121380891322?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c42dd6abaAs for what to get, Slop Haulers first and then Somer's box to get Lenny and Bayou Gremlins.

MONSTERNOGGIN Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Quite right Math! The young have their roles, to be sure. Reloading Ophelia's upgrades and dropping the random jug rocket barrage has definitely provided it's enjoyable moments. I've finally got my old cranky painted up, and have been fielding him more lately. He fits my playstyle a bit more than the young do at the moment, and his ability to buff the rest of the crew makes him a bit more versatile for me.

Math Mathonwy Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 For me, the biggest draw of the Young is activation control. Six SS buys you three Activations which is one more than Bayous.They are also rather nasty little buggers when they get to Focus shoot their own guns near Lenny - that 2/6/8 damage track is pretty damn boss and, as a bonus, they won't even die from full wounds unless they get Severe damage.Bayous are of course far more versatile but if you want to kill something, the Youngs are actually not half bad.Cranky, naturally, has utterly abilities and does very hefty damage himself - no denying that, mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 if you want to kill something Didn't you once kill like a Huggy on flips or something with a Young? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Didn't you once kill like a Huggy on flips or something with a Young? That particular Young first killed Ototo (from HtK, though) and then Lynch (though that last shot killed the Young as well) - Dumb Luck Severe while Lynch was at six wounds and he even prevented two. The little Young that could Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweak Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 is Lenny considered mandatory with ophelia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSwervy Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 If he isn't, I don't know when you wouldn't want to take him. He gives out Rams giving you auto thinkin' luck trigger, gives out pseudo-armor to Ht1 friendly models, and gives you a massive boost to movement so you don't use your ap on things like... not shooting.

rgarbonzo Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Clarification, Lenny reduces all damage to all friendly models within 3" by 1. The only restriction is Friendly or not, not Ht. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgarbonzo Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Guess that would make it a Big Toss then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSwervy Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Yeah I guess so. It must be the toss for anything Ht2 or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Yeah I guess so. It must be the toss for anything Ht2 or more. Oh man a flying Gracie! Or Lenny Pigapult Relocation Delivery. The mental image is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSwervy Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Haha, flying Gracie.... wonder what the damage track on that would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizuriel Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Both the pigapult and Lenny only allow you to FedEx HT1 models (with a few additional restrictions depending on the model). The saddle that Gracie can use though allows you to carry any friendly non-rooster Gremlin model. So you can have a mobile pigapult that is FedExing Gremlins into your opponents deployment zone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
