Chucklemonkey Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) Simple question for everyone out there. Which of the new masters will you, or are you planning on buying first? Edited July 19, 2010 by Chucklemonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpowder saint Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 First Vote! Woo! I voted other because of my deadly sin of Pride. Once I got on the same level as the rest of the Guild I can't honestly picture myself playing anyone else. Except MAYBE Dr. McMourning only because he reminds me of Dr. Satan from House of 1000 Corpses lol But over all I play Guild, and Guild is who I will play. So I stick with my pride and will simply have to wait :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregdorf Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I will be picking up the Ophelia and Kirai box set along with the new book Thursday at Gen Con. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucklemonkey Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 It's Collette and Chompy for me in the first instance. Kirai will follow at some point. I actually really like the Ophelia set but not a gremlin player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodschow Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 The Dreamer Nightmare is limited edition and I want it, thus I'll be ordering it during gencon.. The others have to wait untill I can get them locally as VAT, taxes and fees means +50% of the price for me (if not more.. ¬_¬), which I find a bit steep however nice the models are. Also would rather know the rules before I buy the models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Kirai for me, I cant wait. Even have all the bamboo bases done (and here me having just picked up McM as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemantis99 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'm getting everything... toq quote a fine, animated film, "I am a consumer whore." "And how!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntiZombie Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 i think it should be difficult to judge for most people currently. Kirai may be popular but i think that might be because so many of her companion models were shown. Even Colette is limited in her companion models. i mean we havent even seen the lord chompy model or any of his friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemantis99 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Probably, but Jesus... Lord f'ing Chompy Bits. How do you compete with that? Itr's like Staff Sgt. Max f'ing Fightmaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twizz666 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 i really want collette... i wont lie either... it's cause they are freakin MANNEQUINS!!!!! probably the coolest idea yet... I know there is only a couple companions there, but (depending on the way she plays) my brother has a very well rounded Ramos crew i can borrow stuff from. Okay, so maybe not really THE coolest idea, but gimme a break, i'm excited. can't wait till Gencon... i'll be there for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q'iq'el Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I must say I agre with Twizz666 completely. Colette has entirely upset my plans of getting Zoraida and Som'er Teeth next and rounding up my Neverborn crew while giving them the Gremlin option too. Instead I'm going to have to cut down on Som'er's crew and get the Colette's box with the spindly cutty things (=Coryphée) in the extra blister. I'm just at a loss what Totem to get for her for starters (and I want a rounded crew with a totem ) - since I'll have no access to her book before I order her, it's going to be a blind choice (and because I order from afar and shipping does cost, I'll have to order everything together). I'm thinking the Student of Conflict may be a safe bet for every crew and he won't look bad on the stage either. Somehow Colette doesn't seem to be a pure spell damage master, so going for an Essence of Power for empower may be a miss. Any guesses?

I would wait. 90% of masters are better with their specific totem. And if Wyrd had her totem sculpted by now, my guess is that we would have already seen it. I would go ahead and order her without a totem at all, and then see if any local shops in your area might have materials/models which you could use to proxy as her totem. After all, if it isn't out yet, proxying it should be totally acceptable in any reasonable playgroup. Should save you a bit on shipping and (hopefully) also give you the best option for her totem.

Just a thought, but if the mannequins are constructs the brass arachnid might be a interesting choice. I know it would lose the whole companion thing, but the "stoke" ability would definitely add a nice touch. of corse... that's assuming they are constructs.

Q'iq'el Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Just a thought, but if the mannequins are constructs the brass arachnid might be a interesting choice. I know it would lose the whole companion thing, but the "stoke" ability would definitely add a nice touch. of corse... that's assuming they are constructs. Totems are master specific or universal. Brass Arachnid says "Totem (Ramos)" so you can't use him as a Totem of any other master than Ramos. Generally speaking Colette can take her own totem (yet unknown), Essence of Power (universal Arcanist Totem) or one of the universal Outcast Totems - Malifaux Child or Student of Conflict. I suppose there may be some new universal Outcast Totems in the new book too. The problem with Essence of Power is that it works only for Arcanist masters who rely on magic to deal damage. Now this is somewhat universal treat of the entire faction, so logically it should work with Colette, but if by any chance she is some sort of illusionist and the first Arcanist to be more of a buffing caster than direct damage one, the Essence of Power would be wasted on her. That's why I'm thinking Student of Conflict may be a better stop-gap measure, until her own Totem gets released. On the other hand I can probably just build my own Totem once I see the rules in the book, as others have suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rathnard Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) The Dreamer will be my first choice, no hesitation. I really love the Neverborn style and with all three Neverborn Masters in my collection, it's inevitable that I buy the forth. I also really love the creepy children in this game. Plus, Lord Chompy Bits? That's like the freak'n Chuck Norris of names. The next Master after Dreamer that is a tough choice though - I'm currently swaying between Marcus, Colette and Ophelia.

Svenn Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Well, I'm planning on buying Collette first... but not for myself. My girlfriend really likes the Collette box set. I might pick up Kirai at some point though since I play Resurrectionist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambayoshi Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Kirai because of the Japanese horror theme she brings. I just thought about the film RINGU ! Gotta admit that I'm hangin' out for the Chomp-meister as well ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chwineka Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I gotta go with Collette before the Dreamer only because his box set comes out in October, while I can get Collette in August... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
