Rogue1 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I would say that she is very solid though I find that ice dancers and silent ones to be very critical to playing her. The silent ones provide additonal attack vectors as well as healing while the ice dancers make scoring scheme marker based schemes much easier.

Mxbedlam Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 If the pool requires markers (most gg17 schemes do in some form or other) then Ice Dancers are absolutely essential. IMO Mech Rider isn't essential but the way I play Snow Storm definitely is. So once you drop 11SS on him, its all about acolytes, dancers and silent ones to be mirrors for Raspy.

winterblade27 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I wish I had silent ones and ice dancers tbh. They are solid and in theme... they are on my buy list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue1 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I also find that the arcane Emmisary can be an amazing choice for Rasputina. The ability to have a resilient mirror that cannot be locked up by engaging it is something not to be overlooked. It can also open up an interesting situation where you can actually use Rasputina's 0 action on targets engaged with the Emmisary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxbedlam Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Meh if I have to choose a big model I almost always go snow storm. Emmisary just never gets anything done and almost always dies faster than I need him to. I suppose you could run both but that's nearly half your points tied into 2 models and Raspy is point heavy herself with expensive upgrades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaphoricDragn Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Yeah, finding the points has always been my struggle with Tina, and I even tend to play Armor of December instead of Shattered Heart. Snow Storm being basically auto include while also expensive, and usually wanting another big model. She has a lot of good mid cost options at least.

Rogue1 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 It just leaves you with her cache, though honestly I have finished many games with SS left over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimzzen Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I run Raspy - shattered heart, cold nights Wendigo Snowstorm Mechrider - to summon ice gamin 2 December acolytes (I like them better than ice dancers. They can start in position to drop schemes or as solid mirror points. Plus the amount of control they bring. Once of arcanists best models imo). arcane effigy - scheme, improve raspy dmg, remove conditions Leaves her with 3 stones. It's a low model crew but it can put out a bunch of damage and control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For clarification's sake, I want to point out that Acolytes cannot drop scheme markers turn 1. Personally, I'm curious to try some more oddball crews with Tina. Maybe use Howard, since he really needs to be Armor 3. Maybe use Carlos Vasquez, because who doesn't like more pillars for control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been running the Emissary with pretty much every Arcanist master recently, and I am really enjoying him! While he doesn't bring the tricks snow storm does, he is pretty tough, I think I have used him more than Snow-Storm recently! Having played with the Guild emissary, I definitely think we got a better deal than them :L... Also the model is way cool! Also your list sounds fun! I will give that a go next time I play 'Tina... Although I am back burning her for a while as I want to play more Sandeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue1 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I too want to play more (any) Sandeep but as I don't have him yet due to me making the decision to buy him from my LGS so that I can contribute to them keeping the lights on I am still living vicariously through those who do have him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, but they can still be deployed in a position to harass turn 1 and scheme turn 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos, Tina and Wendigo could make a mess of the board with all those pillars haha! Might have to give that a go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
