Hogwart Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hello I recently picked up the Ophelia box set and was wondering if anyone has played this crew straight out of the box and what is your opinion, success, etc.?:teeth:ophelia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaqir Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I used it in my demo game and I did rather well with it, they are a quirky crew but the gremlin helping abilities they have really shine, ie they can engage folks and shoot folks and not worry about hitting them etc. They have some good teamwork synergies like the Ortega's but they can really move across the field and swarm things as well.

gregdorf Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Out of the box you are going to be short a few points for a standard game, but with a few additions they are great. In a 30ss game I usually take 3 gremlins, a slop hauler, and all of the kin. That leaves me with 4ss for my cache, which is a little lighter then I like but has not been a problem so far.

Hogwart Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 That sounds good. I have not used the hauler yet and do not know much about him since I just got the new book. So please forgive my noobish question. How effective is the hauler since Ophelia's crew can't hire pigs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ispep Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you will see Slop Haulers in every tournament Gremlin list. I haven't played with one yet, but on paper it looks like 31 flavors of awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregdorf Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 The Hauler has a number of uses, healing and dropping a enemy models Df to 4 being the most important rolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogwart Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 When I got home, I checked my book. I certainly see his benefits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peoples Champ Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Just picked my box set up today so with luck will have them all painted and ready to go this weekend. They have some nice triggers and little tricks that could be fun. I think I will be coming up against a neverborn list so that could be interesting as I know my opponent has the new LCB all painted up and ready to go :hmmmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratboy Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I (and more particularly my son) are loving the gremlins. We're fascinated by the idea of a heap of pigs screaming across the table. However, the Bayou box-set is cool! Is it possible to combine the best of both worlds? Those Warpigs are worth a bit!

Wyrrn Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Is it possible to combine the best of both worlds? Those Warpigs are worth a bit! Yes, but only in a Brawl with Somer as the Master and Ophelia as a Henchman. Love that you're sharing your passion for Gremlins with your own "kin" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Ophelia does nothing for Piggies (but she is awesome with plain Bayou Gremlins). Since you are loving the Piggies so much have you tried the pig boomerang with Somer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Peon Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I'm giving these guys their first whirl this weekend. Should be a laugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatsicle Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Yes, but only in a Brawl with Somer as the Master and Ophelia as a Henchman. This is probably a stupid question, but I don't have book 2 available right now to double check. However! ..Can't you hire henchmen in a scrap, as well? I rather thought that was the point of giving them a SS cost and specifying that their 'Henchmen Resources' don't come into play when not taken as a master. IE - in a 40 point scrap or somesuch, could you not take Somer as a master, hire Ophelia and her crew, and hire a warpig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can also still connect to totems per totem rules and can use soulstones. Huge but costly. Read page 35 of RP for everything you need to know about Henchmen.

Tiny Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 regarding henchmen and another master in a brawl. Ive been looking to take ophelia and somer to a tourney in a few weeks and couldnt find this ruling anywhere. If i have teeth as one of the masters and ophelia as the other do i get the soul stone resources still? It only says it does for the scrap not the brawl. cheers in advance.

But this question is better asked in the RP rules forum. You wil get quicker results. Edited September 17, 2010 by Murphy'sLawyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy'sLawyer Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Here is the answer to Tiny's question. For those that don't wish to follow the link, the answer is henchmen can only be a master in scraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shekbo Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 I was FINALLY able to pick up my Gremlin box. They look great. I espescially like Rami with the piggy counterweight on his rifle. One thing about the box did have me scratching my head.... There's a little blurb on the back of the box titled Born on the Bayou. The last sentence reads... "There's little doubt the LaCriox barely make do with what they're good at - annoying the Guild" What the heck does that mean and was the person writing it sipping from som'er's jug?

shekbo Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I realize that, I just thought that "barely make do with what they're good at" is a really awkward sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaehl Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 She herself in a Som'er crew, is fantastic! she does great work in making the gremlins, umm pay attention? honestly though her and the slop hauler are great choices.

Peoples Champ Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I had my first run with her last weekend vs marcus. Ended up a draw however I think I only lost 2 gremlins. I ran Somer with her regular crew and he tended to compliment her well whilst creating extra gremlins and healing the Ophellia crew. She has some nice wee triggers that can be deadly & added to that her instinctual ability and some great (0) actions and you have alot of gremlin fun happening. The models themselves are fantastic. I don't think I have enjoyed painting figures so much as these wee guys. Like a good book just couldn't put them down once I started.

Pipeline Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I wouldn't exactly say she's competitive, but she is a hell of a lot of fun. Been running the starter, gremlinite, and 3 piggies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
