darth tater Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hi I'm currently debating getting seamus's avatar, which I think is out this month same time as the new book... The reason for my deliberation is the fact that he's around £20 for a single mini and may not even get to take part in a game...even if he does it may just be one round! The mini looks awesome, but for those that have them and used them are the avatars worth getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 The mini looks awesome, 'nuff said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 'nuff said. Yeah dont need to add any more to this either. But aSeamus does give a shift of focus from regular Seamus and its a nice change of pace to have that option some of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Through Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 With avatars you get what you pay for. Yes they wont always be in game but when they are its all good. Seamus avatar is also a damn fine model and well worth the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karn987 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Pretty much a resounding yes. They represent a mid game either power boost or shift in play style that can either be really fun, amusing, or dangerous. Some of them give you what the master sorta needed, a big red oops button (like A. Hoffman) and represent a dramatic shift in play style. Others make the Master different but are still a bit of a power up (kinda like A. Sonnia). And then just others have the Master being similiar but different in a bunch of key ways (like A. Pandora). Are they worth it? Depends on what your looking for out of them and out of the game. If your looking to have fun and enjoy play? I say absolutely yes. If your looking to be the next Malifaux star and win every competition? Maybe not. As with anything in a game, they are what you make of them. But at least on their core level, many are very solid and are a lot of fun to play with and against. They bring something really new to the game and add on another thin layer.

tadaka Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Other then a few masters i think that they are mostly a fun option. So if you like the look and sounds like you would enjoy it then pick him up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephiroa Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 one round? i don't think it is, 3 rounds, more likely if you love the miniature, then why not? it has a purpose, and playing avatars is fun, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth tater Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Cheers guys I think I will order him with the book My worry was just spending that much on one figure and have it sit pretty doing nothing in game....if he's fun awesome! I don't want him to be uber game winning broken.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwhan Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I know I'll be getting the avatar for each master I have. But then I have a bad case of miniature OCD. I just have to have everything available for the crews I collect. This is costing me a small fortune for my Zoraida Crew.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigkid Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Definitely worth getting. Used Avatar Seamus last night against me mates Perdita crew and he rocked! Terror 17 with (:aura10 -2Wp) + Wicked = feckin' awesome! Seamus is all grown up Granted he'll get raped by crews throwing Wp tests and/or shooting (when he's not in combat...) but what do you want for 2SS??

darth tater Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 The book isn't out yet what do I have to do for him to "hulk out"? How easy is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Cast Face of Death twice in two different turns and get the slit jugular trigger off when charging somone with No Escape. The first part is easy, the second can take a little setting up depending on your hand and who you are facing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuJubee Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I have on,y gotten to use my Seamus Avatar in one game and as soon as I met the manifestation requirements he was focused on and killed. So I can't speak to his play style. Although it was fun having that threat looming during the game. The model sitting on the sideline waiting to come in. I don't think I would use him in tournement but friendly games at the LGS i plan on it without a doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
