Zwergenkrieger Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hi all, I just ordered the following models: Nicodem Boxed Set Grave Spirit Izamu Flesh Construct (The model selection is based on the look of the models, I will get some Necropunks and maybe some Canine Remains as well as some Mindless Zombies in the near future.) Ok, what Crew do you count to be a good opponent against this model selection? I want to get a second painted crew just for demoing the game to all who might be interested. Thanks in advance ZK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozz Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I would possibly say Rasputina, as she can take an essence of power to show that there are ways around H2W she can do a lot of damage, but does it differently, eg spells over mele. Main downside of her is that she often takes a lot of constructs so you can not use Nicodems Ressurection ability much, however i tend to find that to be a good thing as he plays better not relying on the Re-animator spell. Perhaps a Silent one & a gunsmith as well as her box and the EoP ---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ---------- Also both considered "weak" masters generally, unless played well, so it should be relatively even overall i think?

sharpobjects Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 For demos I like Guild vs Resser. I would take either Lady J or Perdita vs Nicodem. You give the new person the Guild crew because they are very straight forward and the person running the demo plays Nico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clement Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 The Nico vs LadyJ fight can be a bit rough for Nico since she can smash anything in one go typically. It does show off alot of core mechanics though, so ymmv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your not supposed clobber the new guy, unless your into that kind of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntereoVivo Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I think the best army to give a new demoing player is a Vics/VonShill crew. Outcasts Crew - 35 - Scrap Viktoria -- 4 Pool Von Schill [9ss] Freikorpmann [4ss] Freikorps Librarian [7ss] Freikorps Specialist [5ss] Freikorps Trapper [6ss] This is literally the VonShill box plus the Victorias. It is a super solid, non-complicated list that gives a good taste of everything. Ranged with VonShill/Trapper, Magic from the Libby, Blasts from the Specialist and Melee/Movement tricks with the Victorias. Add the 4 soul stones to get used to how they work and presto! You have a fun, hard hitting, mobile crew that is very new player friendly. Incidentally, it may beat your face in, but that's not a bad thing when demoing.

Falhurk Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'd recommend smaller demo games. For example, the crew demo I'm running is: Lilith - 5 Cache 3 Terror Tot Nephalim Seamus - 4 Cache 2 Rotten Belles That's enough to teach someone about activations, combat, etc without having an overwhelming amount of information for a new player.
