Xango Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hello guys, since i have Ophelia in preorder and because the shipping and handling is international i pay 55/60 usd just for sh&h so i can not wait for wyrd to take out new models, i would like to play ophelia as a master and build a crew of 30/35ss, what else can i order for her right now, just bayou gremlins? if this the case, how many? thanks in advance.

stephengroy Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 She's a Henchman, not a Master, and I ain't got the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosobscuros Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 If you let her run your crew, I'm afraid that she can only hire Gremlin (and the "Kin" that are in Book 2) models. She comes with 6ss, so you don't want to leave too much of a gap. At 2ss per model, you would need 4 Bayou Gremlins for a 30ss crew, and 6 for a 35ss crew. On the flip side, if you took her a a Henchman for Som'er, she would cost you 8ss, and that would take her boxed set to 30ss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 As chaosobscuros said she can only take (currently) Bayou Gremlins when she is acting as the crews master. As for help, try running Ophelia with as many Bayou Gremlins as you can fit in the crew, dont even worry about other Kin models. Use the gremlin gunline strategy clustered tightly around Ophelia, until your opponent attacks them in melee. If they dont kill them with one hit then they auto-trigger "Squeel!" and run away to attack again (hopefully triggering "Dumb Luck" in the process). It is rather entertaining and amazing how much damage little bayous can do with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goblyn13 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 For Ophelia, I find that running her with her Kin and 2 addition Bayou Gremlins actually works very very well. the Gremlin Gunline is awesome with the fact that most of the Kin are able to overcome "Woops" so the Gremlins don't die quite as fast as they do with So'mer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 ...the Gremlin Gunline is awesome with the fact that most of the Kin are able to overcome "Woops" so the Gremlins don't die quite as fast as they do with So'mer Not to mention that if she takes only Bayou's (in a thirty point game) she can take up to 18. If they dont focus fire and use reckless they can make up to 54 ranged strikes a turn at up to 12 inches. Not to many models are going to be able to weather that storm. Granted it's not all powerful or unbeatable, but it is funny as hell (especially the first time an opponent is on the recieving end of it)!

gregdorf Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I have run her a couple of times now and I have to say she is great. My list has been all the kin, 3 gremlins, and one slop hauler. This leaves me with 4 SS in a 30 stone game. I have not come across a list that would work against the low WP of the gremlins but I am sure it would turn ugly for my favorite kin.

Gremlin Swarm Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I haven't run her yet, but I'm definitely gonna try my pseudo-trademark swarm 'o Gremlins with her. Like Omenbringer said, they can spit out a truly scary amount of fire that way. (And no Oops!!!!) >FIRST RANK...FIRE!!!< >SECOND RANK...FIRE!!!< :rocketwho:rocketwho:rocketwho:rocketwho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xango Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Thanks for the advice guys, i am going to order a hog whisperer to use as another gremlin or totem proxy, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogwart Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) I have Ophelia, a friend picked her up for me at Gencon, but i don't have the book yet. I am in the process of painting her and her crew. I would love to know more about the young Lacroix. __________________ :ophelia Edited August 27, 2010 by Hogwart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregdorf Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 small gremlin with a gun too big for him to use. I am going from memory so I may be off. He has a 2 ss cost, standard gremlin stat line, he is a totem and kin. He is tiny so enemy models suffer a negative flip when targeting him. When he shoots his gun he is pushed back, like the the CC Killer. There is also some pig attraction ability, but I cannot remember well enough to tell you what it is.
