mattausten86 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Still new to using Ramos,I've played 3 games with him,and won one,I haven't got a problem with this as I'm still learning to use him,the 2 losses were down to focussing too much on using the rail golem and worried about not killing my own arachnids... Anyway here's a list I want to try out...focussing on M&SU Cache 3 +1ss Ramos-arcane reservoir,electric summoning & under pressure 5ss Brass arachnid-4ss Rail golem-11ss-imbued energies 1ss 2 metal gamin-8ss Johan-6{7}ss-imbued energies-1ss 3 steam arachnids-12ss if my math is correct (and there's a distinct chance,it may not) that's bang on 50ss im contemplating dropping the spiders for another gamin...but not sure what else,I know I need joss but he's not arrived yet! cheers matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenton Crack Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Might want to get an Electric Creation for the Sacrifice/free Ramos Magnetism Move, and then summon two to three spiders from the scrap. It will save you 9 stones towards Joss , get Ramos up the board, and your spiders will still have two wounds each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattausten86 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I can summon it on.... Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotpants Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 It is more cost effective to hire the EC and destroy it for scrap to summon spiders. Generally speaking you'll get more bang from your buck summoning spiders every turn instead of the EC and it opens up an upgrade slot. My .02¢.

Yeah, I agree that summoning the EC might be a waste of AP and an upgrade slot. If you just spend the three stones to start with it, by the end of turn one you can have 2 or three spiders and be down field with 2 AP left to use. You can only summon one EC per turn, and they are Insignificant, thus will get you less activations and no interacts. Summoning spiders will get you up to 3 models per turn, and they can drop markers and the like. I realize that they are not mutually exclusive, since summoning the EC is a zero action, but it takes both a valuable upgrade slot, and prevents a bit of Ramos' mobility via Magnetism. Ultimately, you will be running Joss it sounds like, which is almost an auto-include for his scrap generation, so you are sure to need the freed up stones from the spiders (or somewhere) to include him eventually. I'm certainly no tournament winner or expert though, so I would certainly recommend trying your build and seeing how it plays out.

mattausten86 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Would it be considered stupid if I dropped the spiders for 3 electrical creations or 2 EC and another metal gamin? I have got 3 rail workers which I could proxy for miners,large arachnid and 2 soulstone miners,but I think we're sticking to wave one models? Oh and Howard,forgot I had 2 of him!

mythicFOX Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Howard's Rare 1 so you can only use one of him I'm afraid. I always take one electrical creation, I've never found more than that necessary. Have you tried hiring Rail Workers? Those guys are amazing at 5ss. *grin* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattausten86 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Yeah,I know,I had 2 from 1.5 days I haven't used them outside my mei feng crew... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
