Chris Rivers Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 It is difficult to pick between these 2. Their attacks are the same basically. Terror Tots faster, but the gupps have leap. Which would you guys pick as a scheme runner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Gupps for me because the leap is a 0 action. So you can drop a scheme marker, leap, then drop another scheme marker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Neither, but if pressed I'd go with the terror tots for the high Df and black blood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feagaur Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 I would say it depends on the rest of your crew. If you have mostly Nephilim then you'd go with Tots. If you were running Juju or McTavish then it'd be Gupps. Tots are also good on boards where there are some nice open areas to run round. Gupps prefer lots of terrain to 'leap' over. As with Armond, I personally prefer the leap as its a 0 action and can get the Gupp out of melee if needs be and their 'grow' ability is a trigger on their melee rather than having to rely on an upgrade or ability on something close by. So they could become silurids in any crew. Whereas Tots you really need other nephilim around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doppel? Insidious Madness? Silurids? Wondering if I'm missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 In GG2016, it's sorrows for me. Insidious and silurids are also great, but are used in different roles. For collodi, his marionettes and effigies also work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Rivers Posted August 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 I have been leaning towards gupps for the reason that they have leap. Makes them faster, get out of combat, and can lay two markers in one turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four_N_Six Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Insidious Madness are my go-to runners. 1 extra stone is worth it. They're faster than Tots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladly! in GG2016 schemes, straight line speed is at less of a premium. Let's go through a few: convict labour - sorrows can drop markers turn one by using misery loves company to the far side of a friendly model who moved up. Even if you don't take this scheme, being able to bluff it is a great advantage. take prisoner - sorrows can jump into position without telegraphing the intent. hunting party - can stay away from opposing enforcers henchmen or tempt them into bad positions. With initiative, paralysing key models is doable too. leave your mark - they can MLC to block this from scoring public demo - move one scoring minion into position and MLC two sorrows in, done. set up - as easy as public demo occupy turf - takes an extra turn, but not hard with lots of jumps. frame for murder - excellent choice as they can get into annoying positions near enemy masters/henchmen and are easyish to kill. Plus, you kinda have to deal with them as misery aura is nasty. i could carry on, but you get the idea. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
