Evilbleachman Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 So I have decided to start gathering my Collette crew together and was hoping to look into some input on what I should pick up first. Reading her abilities in the book, I can tell she must be a super agile/mobile Master but lacks in real damage output. Any ideas on a competitive ensemble for Lady Du Bois? Quote
IDislexiaHave Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 For 30ss I would take collette: +1 soulstone Coryphree duet 14ss cassandra 9ss performer and mannequin 6ss For 35ss I would take Colette: +1 soulstone coryphree duet 14ss cassandra 9ss performer and mannequin 6ss Johann 5ss (also can be substituted for mechanical doves instead) The core box set is really competitive to begin with I would definitely pick up the duet and a pack of doves for sure, as you can summon them in the game. Johann is also a nice addition as he comes dirt cheap to Colette. Quote
Mister Shine Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 Since I know you are a fan of FUN ebm, I will recommend my bouncer tactic: Hire Killjoy. Create dove. Fly dove into enemy. Yell "You! Hey you! NO TOUCHIN THA DOVES". Place Killjoy on sacrificed dove. Jazz hands. "Showgirl Magic!" Quote

To ensure one explodes into Killjoy. Quote
IDislexiaHave Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 Well the pidgeons can fly 10" and then sacrifice themselves to create killjoy, it's actually very easy to accomplish with even only one. Quote
Mister Shine Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 It's just a (1) action. If you want exploding doves, you take Kaeris and say your showgirls got some pyrotechnics. Then burn the house down. We dont need no water... Quote
Evilbleachman Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 Well I have ordered the crew box + doves. I will wait a bit on Killjoy until I got their mechanics down. I might pick up some of those coryphees too. Quote

Evilbleachman Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 Think I should pick up two packs? or should I tinker around with solo dollies? Quote
Evilbleachman Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 I considered doing that, but I ordered these cool lily flower bases cobblestone bases for my Colette crew. The 50mm inserts do not match the 30mm inserts. ^^; I could experiment with it though. Though it might be tricky, since I plan to use Wyrd translucent bases for the models... Quote
Mister Shine Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 Ah I planned mine out so its a wooden stage piece for the models that fits over the mechanical piece. Its still possible to do something like mine, have a flat magnet in the hollow underside then paint a larger cube magnet as a stage prop and base the coryphee on that. Im probably just cheap though lol ---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 AM ---------- The cube for reference. Also my bouncer killjoy is a dapper gorilla because hilarity. Quote
Evilbleachman Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 I will probably pick up a second pack of them. xD Quote
Mako Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 I got two packs in the traded bundle of Colette goodness I got, back when she was impossible to find in England. Magnetising them anyway, because I might need that many one day! Maybe. Quote
Evilbleachman Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 Haha. I wont magnetize the doll ladies. Mostly because spending the extra cash and time to work out the whole magnet thingie would in the end cost me the same as it would to just get a second duet. At the moment, what I have planned: Colette aColette (all three) Mechanical Dove (3) Performer (2) Mannequin (2) Cassandra Coryphée (2) Coryphée Duet Solid grounds to build on? Quote
Mister Shine Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 Yup, the base colette crew with a coryphee duet is very strong. Doves are a nice summonable totem. I personally am not sold on aColette, I prefer the base line one much more, but if you have the 2SS to spare, you do whatever you like! Quote
ttsgosadow Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 I am also getting Ooran to inrease my options. Colette is a blast to play, and the replies so far are a really good start. Gotta love the duet! Quote
Evilbleachman Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 Oirans look pretty nifty. I might pick them up at a later date. I cannot judge how effective aColette is, but the models look damn spiffy. I'd love to play with those on a table. :3 ---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ---------- Also gimme that link to keep statistics. I'd tinker around with that! lol Quote
Odin1981 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 I'd second that I have played a couple of games at 30ss with duet+ oiran+perf-manne+1 dove and I really like the way it feels. Quote
IDislexiaHave Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 Magnets are amazing, I personally magnetized mine. Quote
Soul Puppet Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 I tend to play most of my games at 35 Stones. I take Colette, Cassandra, 2 Coryphee, Performer & Mannequin and a Dove. I've never needed anything else. The aColette models are great but sadly the rules are not. Maybe something fun to try out in a friendly game but definitely not recommended for competitive play. As for Damage output, trust me that looks can be very deceiving. Colette, Cassandra and the Duet all pack a surprising punch if played right. Colette also has the best option in the game to get rid of a big nasty that you can't otherwise deal with, through Disappearing Act, bypassing wounds and HTW, HTK etc. (admittedly the Trigger will only work around half the time but even if it doesn't, you're taking the model out of the game for the turn). The Doves can also contribute to damage output with Magician's Duel (via Magical Extension). Although they are often much more situational, don't underestimate what the Performers bring to the party also (having a Paralysed enemy model nearby is their greatest joy). I've not used the Oiran yet but I have a couple of ideas to try out with them. I think a lot depends on the size of the game you're playing. Quote
