Astrella Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 So a friend and I had a joke idea of having each of us design the crew the other person has to play with, so essentially trying to give them an as worse crew as possible. One example I can think of would be Zoraida, McTavish and a bunch of pigs in Gremlins and enjoy looking at how the pigs charge their own models. Anyone else got some anti-synergistic ideas?

Dogmantra Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Of course, just spamming 25 rats is a bad crew but it's not fun bad. Consider bonus points for creatively rubbish crews! On further discussion, 25 rats is actually probably not the worst crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solkan Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I think "Self-destruction due to negative synergy" (or the absence of expected control models) may be a feature unique to the gremlins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be if you cram them all into the same space so you only get a couple of rat kings when they activate. 24 minutes ago, Munindk said: Lucius without minions, mimics and guardsmen.

dropdeadcriminal Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I use outcasts so off the top of the head I would say: Hamelin w/ I Pay Better, Sewer King, Tally Sheet Student of Conflict 3x Abominations Candy Hans Montresor Void Wretch SS Pool of 2 It has not a lot of synergy that I can think of. If Hamelin wants rats or the health backup he needs to summon a Stolen, which forces the sacrifice of the Student of Conflict. He cant make abominations so he cant get the Desolation Engine because he is one short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Abominations summon abominations. Granted, not all that well, but I wouldn't completly rule out that engine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yeah, I'd lean towards lucius without any of his tools, since I think he's already one of the weaker masters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solicitor 6 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 This was the least synergistic Arcanist crew I could come up with, including putting certain upgrades on models that were a waste for the crew/model Kaeris (cache 7) -Blinding Flame (1) -Seize the Day (1) -Philosopher's Stone (1) Myranda (8) -Pack Leader (1) -Killswitch (1) Ice Golem (10) -Sub Zero (1) Angelica (6) Coryphee (7) Steam Arachnid x2 (8) Essence of Power (3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obey wouldn't help unless the pigs were Wild Boars - Set'er Off is just any time the model can declare an action, so Obey will still make 'em charge... I realised this when I was playing and had just Obeyed a piglet who was too far from a Gremlin, and so I had to cheat down to make the Obey fail. I'm trying to come up with a rubbish Leveticus crew, and all I can think is just a couple of rats and a bunch of desperate mercs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No anchors is obvious, but you should take Electric Creations instead of Desperate Mercs, they are insignificant peons. Lots of Electric Creations is pretty terrible as they all blow up turn three. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordZombie Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Funny that the the idea of the worst crew is a master without its synced models. I don't know if that is good or bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realised this when I was playing and had just Obeyed a piglet who was too far from a Gremlin, and so I had to cheat down to make the Obey fail. I actually hadn't realized that! I read that the Obey is controlled by Zoraida but of course it's still the Pig that declares the Action. That makes my usual inclusion of a Hog Whisperer even more important, then. Thank you for pointing that out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
