Rollout Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I notice in another thread that most boxes are valued around 25SS. My question is how much is the value of Som-er Teeth's box set? The Gremlin's are only 2 SS each so that adds up to 8. The only thing left is the war pig. My assumption from reading details online was that Masters were free and give you a cache of SS if they have a cache. Just curious on this one as it would mean that war pig is really costly. I made an order and added in some piglets and hog whisper just in case the box set was not a round 25SS. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLemondropDan Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Yeah, the Gremlin box set is a good bit smaller than 25ss. Add a pack of piglets, and you are getting near the 25 mark. The problem is that the gremlin units use a pretty large amount of metal for their point cost, so it would be really cost ineffective to fill up the box set with all the figures that you'd need. I understand that in the Gencon tourney, you'll be filling up the deficit with soulstones. Edit: this'll all be clear when you get the rules. Mods: When can I go into the specifics? Today/Thursday/Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Paul Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Can anyone help me with my order also; I'm looking to do a "pig list" from what I have read I can do an all pig list with just Som'er and a whisperer as my Gremlins. So that I can order the book and the minis together can anyone let me know how many "pigs" I will need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLemondropDan Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Well, there are piglets and the warpig. It'll depend on if you want a "big pig" list or a "small pig" list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Paul Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I was thinking a mix of both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLemondropDan Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Well, hell, It's supposedly live now. I'll confirm this when I actually get the rules in this afternoon, but this should be about right: 1 whisperer pack (includes whisperer and piglet), 2-3 packs of piglets (three each in the pack), 1-2 warpigs and Teeth. I prefer big pig lists though. My current favorite is Teeth, 2x whisperers and 3x warpigs. Teeth, 2x whisperer, 2x warpig, and 4x gremlin isn't bad either. But I'm not a big soulstone user, so you could also do well with a teeth, 1 whisperer, 2x warpig, 4x gremlin 1x piglet, which would be an easy purchase as it'd be the box set, plus a warpig and a whisperer. Edit: Please ignore suggested lists-- my math was off. the rest of the info's good, though.

Peterdita Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Nice rundown LDD. Been thinking of geting my big pig out and GS'ed together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerousBeans Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I've ordered the box, a whisperer and a pack of piglets, was hoping that'd be enough for 25ss games. Hopefully be getting the gremlinette too so she can stand in as another whisperer or standard gremlin (or objective marker!). In time I assumed I'd add another big pig and pack of gremlins but I'm waiting to see the merc options first (or mix with Zoriada for bigger games). Order's not arrived yet, fingers crossed for tomorrow!!! I'm CRACKING UP with the anticipation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLemondropDan Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) Here's what they cost: 0 - Teeth Jones 2 - gremlin 3 - piglet 8 - Warpig 5 - hog whisperer You should be fine. Edit: The warpig seems kinda weak in comparison with the piglet now. 3 soulstones to 8 soulstones, and the only real difference is that it has 7 more wounds? That's pretty harsh. 1/2/3 damage from the warpig? seriously? Edited August 16, 2009 by TheLemondropDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEdwards Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Edit: The warpig seems kinda weak in comparison with the piglet now. 3 soulstones to 8 soulstones, and the only real difference is that it has 7 more wounds? That's pretty harsh. 1/2/3 damage from the warpig? seriously? The card has it as 2/4/6 while the rulebook has it as 1/2/3. In this case, I'd like to assume the card is correct. Also, it has a ranged weapon and two ways to heal itself while also limiting or removing counters your opponent may be able to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLemondropDan Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) I just checked the card, and yeah, I hope it's just a typo in the book. 1/2/3 is the same damage the Malifaux child does, for crying out loud. I'm sorry for getting a little peeved; I was pretty shocked. Edit: And I do think the backstory is pretty fun, too. I was sad that there's no Som'er Teeth voodoo doll in the coloring book, but oh well. Edited August 17, 2009 by TheLemondropDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Official Eratta incoming on that one, the book was already printing when I noticed the problem with the damage. The proper Warpig damage is 2/4/6, gore away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLemondropDan Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Thanks for the confirmation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbreeden Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I purchased a rulebook over Christmas and the warpigs DG is 2/4/6 for Gore and 2/3/4 for Thrown Rider. Waiting on Som'er starter box and piglets to get here so I can get started in Malifaux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
