Corey3977 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Howdy folks! I have been toying with the idea of picking up an Arcane Effigy because I like the model. I guess what I want to know is how people have found him/her/it in game, especially with Ironsides, who I am just starting to learn Any and all thoughts are appreciated. Also if this has been discussed before and you can redirect me, much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayne Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 It's a great model. Condition removal is a handy thing to have (admittedly less so for Ironsides thanks to Warding Runes) and for its points, it has a solid stat line. The 0 action is either extra damage or a discard, either way this is a bonus. I'd say it's a great choice for any Arcanist master, perhaps more useful for Mei and Kaeris due to synergies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey3977 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 My other master is Marcus, but Kaeris will be my third master following Ironsides (damn this game gets you quickly haha). The other fella I am looking at adding is Willie. For me, he is the embodiment of Malifaux's craziness that I so love. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengt Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I don't think Radiance is that useful for Kaeris since it requires you to damage the enemy with an Attack Action to have any effect and Immolate is kind of lame unless the enemy is already on fire. That said, the effigy is still very good for its 4 points so I would get it anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippodruid Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I like the Effigy with Ironsides just for the condition removal. This is especially true when I don't want to run the Oxfordian Mages (Johan and the Effigy are still fewer SS than 2 Mages). It's also one of her better low-cost picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wishlist is growing and I am currently eying Ironsides myself (among all the other stuff I'm planing to buy). Curse that person that made this "I cast fist" comic in the "Fill in the blanks" thread, that let me giggle all the time... and curse Micheal Jackson's "Beat It", I always have in my head for Toni and I desperately want to buy her, just to paint her jacket red and white, so everytime I declare her, I have an excuse to play the song...

mythicFOX Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 The Arcane Effigy is one of my favorite models. Very solid body for the cost, and condition removal is golden. Radiance is generally a fringe benefit IMO, but still worth having. I regularly find a place for him in all my Arcanist crews, although I don't play Toni right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey3977 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 So it seems like AE is a solid buy for myself. Thanks peeps! I already have Johan ready and waiting for condition removal but after seeing the devastation of McMourning throwing poison out like it is candy, I am feeling the more removal I have, the better haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordon Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 In my lists, I often take the AE over mouse especially if your playing an adrenaline list with Ironsides. Her ability to generate extra attacks via adrenaline is really handy with radiance, and since your often running gunsmiths close to Toni, it gives that extra synergy bonus for them. I find the condition removal is great for pretty much every other master, however since Toni has access to warding runes, and will often run with Johan, I find it less important for Ironsides specifically. However you can never really have too much condition removal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
