Ceodoc Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 @Angelshard My bad, I see how it is done now, reading is hard. Yes to the second part query, it is way too expensive, I read over and over the most important resource in Malifaux is AP. Is it efficient to buy WW + handbag, use 3 of Collodi's & 2 of WW's AP + a 3SS model to summon a teddy? When you must also consider not using Collodi's whole AP as a single strategy could leave his remaining 1/2 (fast) not useless, but sub par. Collodi is the key in a Collodi team, his AP is absolutely golden, yes WW is not rubbish, but the wasted marionette & handbag is 5SS, drop another marionette and handbag and you nearly have your Teddy & WW and can upgrade him as well. Saving 5 early game AP? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy is wonderful, God I wish he had Puppet characteristic, but I think it is better value to just straight up buy him then all this runaround with resources to hope to get him. WW cannot receive Fast from Collodi, so summoning 2x Wicked Dolls or more marionette's I suppose if you can't get the card for your Teddy.

HydroMog Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 yes its nice when build-a-bear works, and yes its alot of resources for it to do its thing. but on the other hand, the things that make it go off are also useful for other things. granted its usually a first/last turn thing for either the free teddy or strat/scheme scoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelshard Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Not the most competitive of lists, but I guess if you want to make a teddy list you could do something like this: Declared Faction: Neverborn Crew Name: 50ss Leader: Collodi - Cache:(3) Doll Collection 1ss On Wings of Darkness 1ss Bag of Props 1ss Marionette 3ss Marionette 3ss Marionette 3ss Marionette 3ss Widow Weaver 8ss Handbag 2ss Vasilisa 8ss Strum the Threads 1ss Mr. Tannen 6ss Will O' The Wisp 3ss Brutal Effigy 4ss Personally I think that you should go zoraida or dreamer (not very good for dedicated teddy summoning either) if you want to summon teddies, as the resources investment here is huge, but I guess this could be fun to try in a non competitive game.

Ceodoc Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I was just watching a batrep of Collodi from GMG, the Collodi player made the error of handing out Fast from Collodi to all puppets in the bubble from Strum. But what I was shocked to learn/watch was that Collodi can have more than one effigy buff? Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They apply a condition on him and they work as long as they don't specifically get overwritten by other effects. HOWEVER he can only pass around 1 buff and that is at the time he gets it. No saving up, getting in position and then distributing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. There is no limit linked to the conditions itselfs. So if you can get multiple effigys by whatever means (multiplayer games/crossfaction hiring/copying of zero actions/Control of enemy models), you can stack as many as you wish.

Just for completeness, Marcus could also have 2 effigy buffs on him, thanks to Alpha, assuming his opponent also hires an effigy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceodoc Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 If Collodi successfully triggers on Pull the Strings an enemy to attack a Terrifying model and it qualifies (Living) for example, who makes the 'pass a horror flip'? Where I am going: If Collodi, can he cheat the horror flip to get a fail, therefore making it Paralyzed? /cackle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emiba Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 You will flip and can cheat to fail it. However, if the terrifying model is from your opponents crew, I'm uncertain if it triggers the horror duel as I think it's still friendly to the rest of it's crew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Yeah, you need to get it to attack one of your own models if you want to paralyze it. Totally legit otherwise though. It's the reason why models with Terrifying and Obey type effects (Ama no Zako) have that weird clause to make them friendly to the target during the action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be ok as you are never going to hurt your own model whilst purposefully getting Paralyzed, come to think of it you can add to that, proccing a def trigger if your model has one, very very naughty.

Ceodoc Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Didn't know where to post. The Carver comes up as a choice in the Malifaux App, but I thought it was a special encounter model only? Is he a legitimate model I could use at events? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The physical model is now a legal proxy for killjoy. As you say, the Carver with his henchmen status and so forth is only for story encounters involving him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INXVI Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I've recently picked up Collodi again after a fixed master tournament (somehow managed to come 2nd) so I'm thinking about adding to his crew. So what are your opinions on Coryphee and Mannequins? I bought some Coryphee after the tournament, and wouldn't mind some Mannequins but I'd like to hear your thoughts beforehand. I know they have been touched upon somewhere within this large thread, but with new models, new schemes, strats etc do these models find a place for you and why?

Angelshard Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 A single mannequin is really good. It'll make schemes that you wouldn't normally take, like setup, viable. Coryphee aren't my cup of tea, I find them too fragile, but they hit hard and their mask trigger means a model is gonna die. Plus they can be taxied by vasilisa (although I don't like that upgrade). Also performers are a solid model that is worth hiring as a merc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddyBear Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 A question please, if you hear that your opponent will play Resser, and specifically an "angry" Reva 😅 How you deal with her? Do you pick fast another Nb master or Collodi have a voice? What models would you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelshard Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I'd say Colloddi could take reva on. You'd have to be careful as you can't rely on your df trigger to save you and you can't reduce through personal puppet. On the other hand you'll be walking around in a bubble so her advantage in being able to strike the entire table isn't worth that much. Also if he alphas you you should be able to take him down down top of turn two. Activate colloddi and have an illuminated hit her 4 times (3 if you need to walk up to her), then accomplice into the illuminated and she should die. I'd go fated Colloddi. I'd bring a beckoner along as personal puppet and use her to pull colloddi out of danger. Doppelganger to cheat initiative. I'd also bring carrion effigy so you can eat any corpse marker. Bring a beater or two that can take down his emissary and asura. Hinamatsu is good if you can proxy him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually players who use reva in my meta, tend to run foward 2 mindless zombie and positioning well the crew in first turn, hardly used her for Alpha.

thatlatinspeakingguy Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Fun fact: American team actually played Collodi into Reva in their game against Krakowball at ITC and it was 10:2 for Reva. I don't say it's autoloss, but if you can avoid bad matchup, do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
