Getting a friend into the game and he wants Zipp...help

[Vecks]

As the title says, I am getting a friend into the game and he thinks Zipp looks the coolest and therefore wants to use him. I've got about $65 to spend on getting him the box and maybe 1-2 things to help augment that box.

I don't play Gremlins (Neverborn is where I live) and have no clue what kind of things would be worthwhile getting to help him out.

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

One of the people I play prequently has been delivering Wrastlers via Iron Skeeter lately. It seems like a pretty effective (and fun) combo.

He also uses Merris as a scheme runner a lot.

You could probably build a decent crew with Zipps box, Merris, and some Wrastlers. That looks like it's coming in around at $72 at Miniature Market, so it's just a bit over your budget.

Zipp, Earl, The First Mate, Merris, and a pair of Iron Skeeters and a pair of Wrastler's comes in a 40SS before adding in any upgrades.

Awesome! Thank you!

I think the best buy is the Ophelia box. 

From there he'll get Franc, Pere and Raphael which are all really good models. Franc and Pere are incredible with skeeters. 

Survivors are also generally good for cheap models.

Burt and Ophelia box.

will have access to 2 cool masters and will have tools for mostly everything.
