Rathnard Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 New 50ss "pool" looks like this: Marcus Kaeris Jackalope Student of Conflict Gunsmith Night Terror x 3 Sillurid x 2 Soulstone Miner Waldegeist Total 5= 50 exactly.... Huh, this isn't actually far off what I was hoping to take for my 55SS crew for Cancon. The main difference is that I haven't painted Kaeris or a Gunsmith yet, so I'll probably be replacing her and her M&SU assets with Von Schill & friends. Pity, I've been really hoping to try out that Soulstone Miner. :smuguppet1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrocky Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Ah soulstone miner <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpenksa Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Just to make sure I did this right today with the Soulstone Miner... First turn Overdrive, Defensive stance, tunnel. 2nd Turn tunnel move in closing phase. 3rd turn pop up, kill a model, last action tunnel. 4th turn, pop up, kill a model, move once, tunnel.. 5th turn pop up (1) to sabotage, tunnel. 6th turn, not needed... With this whole time he never suffered two wounds from overdrive, always had defensive stance, and always had Melee Master (+2)??? I never cast or did any of those actions, save for the first turn... IF I did this right oh man he is awesome, in fact he also gained me two soulstones from his trigger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocky Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 You did three things wrong; - You must defensive stance before you tunnel as defensive stance must be the first thing you do. - You can't sabotage if you're insignificant, which the SSMiner is on the turn he comes up. - You don't get the points for sabotage if your models is buried at the end of the turn, he has to be in play (Ie, on the table) to get the VPs for it. But you got the basic gist of how the ssminer works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocky Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Oh and he can move at the end of the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th turns too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpenksa Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 My first turn action I (0) Overdrive, Defense Stance, Tunnel.... that's correct right? Ah good call on the sabotage mistakes though. Oh well at that point all that was left for my opponent was Lazarus on the other side of the table (who Marcus finished off that turn). So I don't feel too bad. I could have popped up, stood where I was, capped it sixth turn just fine. Lesson learned but I am just glad it didn't cost my opponent, I hate if I get something wrong and it would have changed the whole game. But jeeze, as long as I tunnel with my last action FOR SURE my melee master and defensive stance stays? I just want to make sure, it seems sort of over the top awesome.

ukrocky Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 They definetley stay, 100% And as I said you have to defensive stance before you overdrive, as you can't defensive stance once you've done any other action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpenksa Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 AH you said tunneling thats what confused me, ok good to know though for future games! Thanks for all your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpenksa Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 With the new errata of the bury mechanic I am not quite sure if the Soulstone Miner is still worth it. With my list previously being: Marcus Kaeris Jackalope Student of Conflict Gunsmith Night Terror x 3 Sillurid x 2 Soulstone Miner Waldegeis I ask all of you what do you think? Is the list still viable ? Should I switch the miner for another Waldgeist? Or another gunsmith/gunslinger? Or I could take out the Miner for a third silurid with 1ss going to waste.... OR I could drop the miner + jackalope for the slate ridge mauler... any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancor709 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I still like the miner even with bury change. It is a cheap assaination model although more specialuzed than beforei still like it as an alternatitive to a shikome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
