I'd like to build and play an Arachnid Theme Crew and i tinked to this list: Arcanists Crew - 35 - Scrap Ramos -- 5 Pool + Ramos, Avatar of Invention [2ss] Brass Arachnid [2ss] Large Steampunk Arachnid [5ss] Large Steampunk Arachnid [5ss] Steampunk Arachnid Swarm [9ss] Steampunk Arachnid Swarm [9ss] What are your tough about that? Have you some advices for me? Many thanks to everybody will help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I would be very tempted to not both with the Brass Arachnid in a list with the Avatar. Whilst I like the Arachnid, Ramos is going to need the tomes to get him to a position to manifest, and you are unlikely to get a re-activate at all in the game. The other obvious Arachnid is the Steamborg Executioner. Its a hefty cost of 10 SS but it can bring a huge amount to the party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhed Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I have found the Mobile toolkit being handy for getting the manifest requirements early. Obviously with a great hand you might get the re-activate on Ramos the turn he avatars, but I would not count on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huang Da Wei Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I try to make my lists 'fluffy' to fit in with the character of the master so arachnids are the way to go with Ramos. But, I was just wondering if I take a construct now and again. The name Lazarus sprang to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 How is the toolkit not fluffy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 It doesn't have the arachnid special rule, so that might make it not fluffy in an Arachnid themed list. Fluffy means several different things to different people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huang Da Wei Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 How is the toolkit not fluffy?. Toolkits are fine, I think most of us just imagine arachnids when we think of Ramos. Even his avatar is long leg spidery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Kitt Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I think Toolkit vs Brass Arachnid (or even no totem at all) is entirely dependant on what you want to do. If you're chasing a quick manifest then the Toolkit is clearly the better option, constant surges is pretty tasty too if you're wanting to spend more time pre-manifest. The Arachnid is a handy enough Arcing Screen bunny, or an extra Electrical Fire with the chance to get a reactivate off. I suspect the Toolkit would give more value, but the Arachnid is far from useless and I can see where you're coming from with wanting to stay in a spidery theme. For what it's worth, I like the list you put up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
