nosedive51 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm learning my new Seamus crew and had difficulty tonight versus Criid. Pretty much before any of my melee Belles got close they were area ready shot up by Criid or the Stalkers. Suggetions on getting melee models into melee versus ranged without getting shot to pieces first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 What kind of terrain do you use? If you are getting so easily shot to pieces, it may sound like the terrain favours your opponent. Try to pick schemes that don't require as much running towards killing maybe? Other than that try to find cover and get your opponent to play into your style rather than giving him free shots. I am not a very experienced player but I haven't yet had my belles shot down that easily. I haven't played against Creed though. I hope someone more experienced will answer your question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Your Belles doesn't need to get close, they have lure. Stand at 18" away and lure them to you with 2-3, and chop 'em up piecemeal-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 For Belles it really is Lure, Lure and Lure. I personally would suggest luring a model after it has activated if possible. Since Your Lure is a greater range than their shots you shoudl still be able to do this before they can shoot you. And when they are lured into melee range you get to Pounce on them. Sonnia does have the ability to ignore line of sigth, but only if you are burning. Granted Killign a stalker will probably set fire to your belles a little, but not much. Sonnia has a 14" range, Samual is 12" as are the witchlings, so they have had to move twice inside the lure range before then can even shoot at you. The other option is to use cover to your advantage. It doesn't hurt your attempts to lure, but makes there shooting much harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Maybe actually start the game buried bete noire could work to bind those shooters in melee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isefaux Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I did not have any games versus Sonnia, but Sebastian could provide a very solid anti- bubble. Crooked men are also very solid, when resisting normal shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ork56 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Crooked men as noted above, plus hanged as they are incorporeal and take less damage from Sh actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fetid Strumpet Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Lure them in and then Paralyze them with a Nurse, or hit them with the Hanged. Or for real giggles, Lure them into Seamus' Melee Range, then use a Nurse to use Uppers on Seamus, and then use the Nurses Accomplice to have Seamus go next. Min 4 Dmg on the bag if you took it, or min dmg three with a trigger to attack again on the back hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 That sounds like a nice combo, I have to see into that. Haven't yet to try out a nurse on any crew, I am waiting for the 2.0 editions, so it will go into january. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxbedlam Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I love the Nurses. They are quite possibly one of the most important support pieces the rezzers have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelious1424 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Back Alley into melee range and start hacking away!! Once she is engaged she can't throw fire balls at your crew. For an assasination run I like to run Seamus with BoT, Red Chap Killer and Decaying Aura. Combine that with a nurse, like others have mentioned and Criid will go down quite easy, especially without the aid of preventing damage with soul stones!
