Malandres Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 well the title says it all....in a Rasputina crew is Snowstorm really worth it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 It depends on what you're trying to do. Snowstorm really, really speeds up a Rasputina crew. So for that, absolutely, Snowstorm is worth it. In terms of being a killing machine...no. They're not that amazing at that. In all honesty, if you're going to do a Fire and Ice list with Kaeris, I wouldn't. But in terms of running a 'fluffy' Rasputina list, I'd definitely pick up Snowstorm.

LastDinosaur Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Seldomly, yes. Personally I prefer other options most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malandres Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 think i will stick with silent one for now...maybe get one for them moments that i could find a use for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karavak Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 My friend runs Snow and silent one. Snow really does help speed up the crews and if your opponent doesn't have a good magic offense it can be a pain to get rid of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannonFodder Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 If you play Rasputina a lot then yes. out side of that no. I got him for her crew, but she is one of my least used crews, and her crew has very little crossover with other crews. In the end I sold her entire crew. But when I dis play her, the extra movement potential went a long way. the Ice Golem actually saw play with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harbinger Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Had a ball with him in a 100pt game, but in most realistic point games I dont even consider him. Dont get me wrong, the speed upgrade is nice but for the point cost he needs be a tiny bit more of a beatstick to make it as a crew staple imo. Now his upcoming little cousin on other hand...

Slimnoid Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 The best use I've seen for Snow Storm is a big block of Not-Die. Spirit, coupled with Middle of the Storm, Bulletproof 3, and Eat Your Fill makes for one of the more durable non-undead models. Spells certainly will mess their day up (as well as the Ortega's and their concentrated shooting), but against a lot of crews they simply won't drop. Granted, at 11 SS, they're an expensive meat shield, but they can generally take the punishment and come out none the worse for wear. Viable in larger games where they can park on an objective and keep it, or as a means to block off an area you don't want the opponent to go to. Snow Storm won't do much damage on their own, but Flurry, To the Bone, and Grip of Winter means they have a decent chance to bust out a Severe. I wouldn't rely on that, however.

FoolWithTheFez Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I am resurrecting this thread because I'm curious if the recent buff to Snow Storm (the errata upgraded it to 8 wds) changed anyone's mind. Is Snow Storm worth with two extra wounds? Or is it still too situational for most games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBGames Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I have a friend that plays Tina religiously and by his count, yes the Snow Storm is a must have. Even in small games he'll do everything he can to include it. I'll see if I can get his exact reasons why, but I think it's already been covered. One scary model.

mofo Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I was thinking of geting one for my aRamos crew for a bit of push fun, I think it would be kinda scary having aRamos in your face with Melee expert, 2 APs annnnnd his 0 Action. However 11ss is a bit steep, still could be fun..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Something I spotted when using snowstorm this week was that you can pull enemy models into base contact. It does cost both 0 actions to give them frozen heart and then cast his spell, but it is unresistable. A handy way to make sure he has targets for melee, or to pull them off more fragile models. Its only 4 inch range, but it is another trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnaberible Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I've never played with or against one but I'll be playing against Raspy next week with Collette. I think a vast 3 SS worth of doves summoned on turns 1 & 2 should be able to take it out within 3 turns, I'll let you know how it goes (or if I fail horribly with this plan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
