Regelridderen Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 So I’m doing a Cooper Circus... And I’ve also had my eyes on Ironsides and her M&SU - purely as paint projects. Yet, if I were to join your dirty arcanist lot and actually play with the minis, what other keywords (preferably just one) would you recommend to round out my faction to be tournament-worthy? - And check out my paint log, if you wanna see how it goes with puppets and circus monkeys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannydb Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 So ironsides is a tanky bubble crew, which means your missing out on mobility for which arcanist have several options Colette are our most mobile crew and are the best at putting down scheme markers all over the board but can struggle at killing in keyword Sandeep is fairly mobile and our most vercitile master but his keyword is spread over several boxs Meifeng and Marcus are very mobile but both have weaknesss, Marcus's crew is fairly squishy and he can struggle to keep up with his crew, mei on other hand can be stopped from interacting with the scrap they need to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandeep is the other extremely good Arcanist master besides Colette/Cooper (and Hoffman, but is he really an Arcanist?). Kaeris is very fun and pretty strong herself, with some solid model overlap with Sandeep and Colette with the Fire Golem/Gamin (and Kandara OOK from Sandeep) and Carlos Vasquez. Kaeris is often run with almost all Versatiles at tournaments though, because most of her in keyword stuff is bad. Given you have Guild models though, I would recommend Hoffman. If you can grab some Steam Arachnid Swarms then they'll round out Cooper, Ironsides and Arc Hoffman (and any future Arcanist crews you pick up.)

dannydb Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 If you already have colette (sorry I missed that) then kaeris becomes an option. Kaeris is the arcanists generalist and while not the best in any strategy she can do them all save leylines fairly well and her keyword is a balanced mix of beaters in fire golem and elijah, scheming in Carlos and fire starter and healing in fire branded (do note generally fire starter is worse than wind gamin for same cost as schemers, fire golem can fall over to dispel magic/toss in mud and fire gamin are a bit meh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peturd Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Kaeris is pretty solid even with a couple stinkers in her keyword. Elijah does WORK when you get him in position. Her henchmen are both adequate (one great, one okay). Firebranded are sometimes loved, sometimes not, depending on who you ask. I like them though. But Arcanist versatiles make up for the smaller keyword choices. Hoffman is a good master, but personally I think if you have M&SU already there’s not many pools where the two aren’t just interchangeable. Once you have one, the other is slightly more redundant if you are going for a “get three crews to cover my bases” approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannydb Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I think colette and Sandeep cover a lot of the same pools and ironsides and Hoffman cover a lot of the same pools so I'd suggest one of the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regelridderen Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Sandeep does look interesting modelwise. Hoffmann and his robots not so much, and although I like the fiery theme of Kaeris, I can’t really get over her silly wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make her levitate on a ring of fire or whatnot. Conversion is always the answer (hum I mean miniwise). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
