Popular Post Kimberly Posted April 17, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Wacky Wednesday Wyrdos! It's me again, with the latest on what's been happening at Wyrd HQ! This week Waldo gathered us all to the break room and made us watch his "magic act." Matt tried to tell him that swallowing things whole and yelling "POOF!" wasn't the same as magic but Waldo didn't seem to care. So now I have to rescue my cat from an imp's stomach. I don't even know how he got a hold of my poor Pumpkin. But before I go off to make that poor life choice, let's talk about a star who can really make some magic, Colette Du Bois! Colette remains just as tricky as ever in M3E. The Df/WP Ability Fade Away paired with Showstopper makes her difficult to keep targeted, and highly mobile. Illusionist encourages your opponent to put some space between this Master when she's Unburied or face some rough repercussions. Colette's Attacks can pile on the Distracted Condition and use that stack of Distracted for tactical advantage. The Presto-Chango and Practiced Choreography Actions allow for the same movement tricks that we all know and love to use (or loathe playing against). Now let's get a look at our head gal at the Star Theater, with this wonderful mobile wallpaper! Now you can take Colette's show on the road! 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgotmytea Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Different! I wasn't expecting long hair. Looks awesome though, looking forward to adding her my Colette model collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Surprise new favorite Colette! The dove on the wrist, the grand swooping gesture, the dynamic hat...this one is frozen mid-gesture and it works! ...admit to being worried how the render is going to handle that bustle, it needs more detail on the backside than they can get from the art and I hope the sculptor realizes that.

J4bberw0ck Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 That is a really fantastic redesign! See, this is why I end up owning a few things from every faction. Can’t wait to paint her up, even if I never use her in a game. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muraki Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Nooo I just bought an avatar so I can paint some more magicy Colette... Aw well, guess I'll just have more to buy/paint. Art looks great, looking forward to the render / model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edopersichetti Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 The art, very pretty. The stat card, very underwhelming. But hey, at least it will look good in the display case 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adran Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 I'm not sure if I like the Art, but that's because she looks too like my Metal Manniquin (which does sort of make sense). I think I do like the Magic effect going on. Not sure that I need Colette Sculpt number 6 in my collection, but I'll see when the box comes out...

Well in the beta some things were different, like the Fade Away ability/trigger, which now is worse IMHO. Even then, she felt underwhelming to me - it is probably because I still remember all the things she used to be able to do in M2E. Now she looks very flat: she has 3 actions just to move people, no prompt, no SS manipulation, no summoning doves, no interact as 0...she used to be a crew enabler, now she is just a...crew pusher? I don't know, perhaps her crew works around her, but last time I tried her in the beta she felt very underwhelming - I don't know that an extra (0) action can really make such a difference.

No SS manipulation - She can use doves as stones, very similar in practice to her old artificial soulstone No dove summoning - Yea, she can with the trigger on Presto-Chango No interact as 0 - While that is gone in practice, Presto-chango does also drop a scheme marker at long range, which in my opinion is better than doing it as a zero. Most of her crew still has don't mind me, I think they are just fine with interacting as a 0. Maybe is she is more of a crew pusher now, but my last game with her, I managed to get an unactivated Duet within charge range of my opponents deployment zone on turn one... I definitely consider that enabling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancater Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Love it, waiting on the release, don't know why, she will be my.... 5th version of Colette, but who cares, the soul of Malifaux for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which beta? I played the whole open beta and she is a nightmare to kill for most crews. They'll just end up ignoring her most of the time and accept you get distracted/placed/buried each turn.

DonCheadle Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Looks awesome to paint and play as well. Might just dip my toes into Arcanists again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Curran Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Colette isn’t the problem; it’s the sustainability of her crew. Love the model by the way..... could be a nightmare for a plastic sprue though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Wide jaw and thick cheek bones, yes, that is the Colette we all know and love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultravanillasmurf Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Nice artwork, it will be interesting to see the sculpt. Painting peacock feathers will be a nightmare ^__^. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yool1981 Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Interesting art but I am not a fan of this Colette. The choice of colours is great I think. However, the body is too bulky for my taste. She looks older also, which is logical but not that appealing. She lost the mischievous feel she had on some of her previous sculpts. I will miss our young sexy trickster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played Vs her last week and she was the only model left end of turn 4 and I had enough models left to clear her scheam markers in order to stop the end of game stuff. Ignore Collette and she doesn't do enough in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
