Gruesome Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Obviously different people will play different models with varying levels of skill against you. But I am wondering if other people have one or maybe two models that really stick out to them that, for their points, are an eternal thorn in their side. (So, I get that Izamu can be a pain, but he costs 10, too) I will start by saying that every Adepticon and whenever I face them in store, that the Convict Gunslinger just has it in for me. I *HATE* that model even more than Von-Swill. I think that model comes with some sort of "Add five :masks 's to your hand during the draw phase" ability that is not printed in my book. Hate him/her... Edited April 25, 2013 by Gruesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Puppet Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Generally I don't have too many models that are that troublesome. One thing that I do find a little too good though is Totems casting Magical Extension. The ability to get a 2 or 3 stone model casting a nasty spell and you can't meet the target to resist it because they've boosted it with a Soulstone.... shudder!

ooshawn Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I play the most annoying faction(Neverborn), so i'm not bothered by much. I would say the most annoying model to most people is the stitched together or insideous madness. They are just auto includes in so many lists. They will surely be Smacked with the cuddle bat in the future. At which time I will promptly rant on the forums, like when they released marcus and rasputina avatar.

Jewomie Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 well, this past weekend (due in part to my opponent flipping amazing cards, and my lack of decent flips) Remi LaCroix killed Lady J and the Judge before turn 3. It was impressive as hell! Of course, the lesson here is that even if it's a weak model, the fate deck still controls all. I once lost McMourning to a desperate merc. I wish i were lying about that too, but i'm not. Lucky for me, now that the player looks like he might end up a regular, and that my fiance just picked up the Ophilea box, i have a feeling Remi will end up on this list. My only real nemisis in the game is Taelor. I don't know why, but she always has it in for me. So in turn, she becomes priority number 1. I usually lose at least one model before i take down the hammered giant, but i don't care. as long as she is off the board i feel safe.

Dracomax Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Kiljoy, or Von Schill. one of the two. Although as I play against her more, Perdita is moving up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huang Da Wei Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Lady J, never beaten her. Mind you thats only 4 games against her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sklertic Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Von Schill. He does everything well, and you can't kill or pin him. So annoying. Honorable mention goes to Malifaux Rats when I play Nephilim crews. Once they reach melee, I usually just throw in the towel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokaji Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Either Nicodem or Mei Fang. I've lost almost every game against Nico I've ever played. And even though I've only ever played Mei once, she cleared half my crew off the table in one turn. For a normal model, Samael. That little son of a dirty gunslinging twat always manages to take out just about anything I have before it even gets close. In one game, Sam took out two of my models as they went for an objective (half the time they were had cover, even), before I got Taelor in there to smash him to smithereens.

Gruesome Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Well, to be fair, models like Izamu screw with everyone. I guess that I sort of meant, for non-masters/soulstone users that cost less than say... 7'ish? I forgot about my other hated model... The Watcher... (Pretty much solely because of aSeamus) Convict gunslinger and watcher... hates 'em.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 As someone who occasionally uses the Watcher I can certainly see hating him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastenhate Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Ophellia, there really isn't an easy counter for her. Cover...paired. Engage her...squee, gunfighter and aim high. Terror...she burns 1 mid card and or stone. Oh, and she can walk 18" and do an amazing amount of damage that can also ignore armor. One of the most underrated models in the game. Ugh PS - Yeah, Pandora counters her but who doesn't Pandora counter? Edited April 25, 2013 by Fastenhate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Perdita was one of the toughest to beat crews at my LGS until someone started playing Ophelia......she went through me like **** through a pig. And Young LaCroix..........grrrrr.

Ozz Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 For me i think i would have to go with Von Schill, As he just puts my mind in such a downer for the game before it even starts when i can see him, i mean he is a great way to drain SS from your opponent, but i personally find him very tiresome to play against Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh PS - Yeah, Pandora counters her but who doesn't Pandora counter? Anything that targets WP makes her life hell. My first several games were Lacroix vs Dreamer. I was usually tabled by turn three. At the latest. Seriously it was just sad how badly Wp duels messed her gang up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_was_like_you Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 For two of my friends, it'd have to be the Wub-Wub aka Ramos' Electrical Creation. They target it like no other when it hits the table. One game, we finally learned why. It floated to the middle of Collodi's ranks and exploded, killing 7 puppets and finishing off Taelor, who was down to one wound. All that was left of Collodi's forces were Collodi, one Marionette, one Wicked Doll, and the Widow Weaver, who was still back in his deployment zone. Ramos had scrap for days.

Twisted Metal Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 For some reason I have never been able to kill Mcmourning. I think Crazycarl is just too damn good with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hopkins. He kills my crew faster than Lady J. If I see him on the table I will throw my crew at him, literally if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
