magicpockets Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Arcane Effigy + Hamelin the Plagued = ---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ---------- I like using the Arcane w/ Zoraida so I can Hex the same turn I conduit. Not got the card to hand, but can you do that? Can you combine the Ap from Casting Expert with the bonus AP from the Effigy to cast a (2) spell?

Gruesome Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Her avatar might enjoy it though. That thing's not allowed to move even if Chuck Norris demands it. Chuck does not need to move the avatar, he moves Malifaux underneath her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnternalVoid Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Not got the card to hand, but can you do that? Can you combine the Ap from Casting Expert with the bonus AP from the Effigy to cast a (2) spell? Yes you can. The ability says it gives you one more AP but that it can only be used to cast or channel so it is a different named ability than Casting Expert or Casting Master.

Scurry Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Arcane Effigy + Hamelin the Plagued = Am i missing something, the arcane cant target hamelin because of the bully ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucklemonkey Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Am i missing something, the arcane cant target hamelin because of the bully ability But Hamelin can hire it as it's height 1 no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scurry Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 He can hire him but the arcane cannot give him the extra ap because it needs to target hamelin and the arcane is only ht 1 so bully stops him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 as zoraida can lead special forces, nothing stops here using all 5 effigy dolls at the same time...and collodi too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undisclosed Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 It's on my to-do list when i get all the effigies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme27uk Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Are all the effigies worth it though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undisclosed Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I don't know about everyone else, but i really like them all except the Carrion Effigy. Arcane is the really stand out choice i think, but the others certainly bring something to the table. The hodgepodge effigy is one i'm looking forward to using in addition to the arcane.

Joel Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 All but mysterious have ranged attacks, and all but hodgepodge have magical attacks as standard (he gets them on a trigger if he wants them). Both of these go some way to countering two neverborn weaknesses. All have excellent 0 abilities. The carrion effigy can work especially well with zoraida as he can get close enough to a target that is immune to influence to have his aura kick in and allow her to hex it off. Personally I can't wait to try: Zoraida (5 stones) Brutal effigy Arcane effigy Hodgepodge effigy Carrion effigy Mysterious effigy 3 stitched together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadaka Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I find it odd people don't find the brutal eff to be better than the arcane. The extra action point for casting is amazing on paper but I find it falls short in games. 4 movement no 3rd action point means it will have trouble keeping up with the models it will want to give the extra action point to. Extra card is nice but that can be gained with primordial magic for half the cost. Not that its bad i just don't find it working as well once it hits the table as it looks like it would be on paper. Brutal is flat out amazing for 4ss. Very rare to have a 4 ss model with a 3rd action point and min melee damage of 3 thanks to crit strike. On top of a 0 action that can heal with out needing a suit.

graeme27uk Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 So how would Zoraida fair with all 5 effigies then or is just a gimick list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'll let you know ASAP . Theory faux though.... Lots of own models with guns to use obey on, better casting for the master from arcane, and more cards, carrion can remove immune to influence so that zoraida can hex it off for good, hodgepodge adds to card control elements as well as being rather nifty in close combat with its triggers, brutal and mysterious can also handle themselves. Most of the crew has very good movement (lots of flight), and some resilience from object...with a stitched in the list, grudge and similar become pointless schemes for the opponent to take. Sounds like a gimmick that might do fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
