What should I fear with Rasputina?

[Huang Da Wei]

My next opponent I havent come across before, rasputina and the basic box set. Chances are I will run with Mcm or Seamus so can anyone offer advice and what should I watch out for?

Molemen. A common trick is to run up a moleman & "Dig in" it so it becomes armor 4 or 5. Then blast it with a spell that does (iirc) 3/4blast/5blast,blast. Cheat to severe on your moleman & hit your opponents with the now irresistible 4 dg on the blast while your moleman only takes one thanks to his armor.

tl;dr avoid getting near mole men if you can:

You have to commit some resources to killing that essence of power ASAP, maybe necropunks or night terrors. It gives 'tina a positive flip on her damage flip on spells, so your hard to wound is negated, and she just soulstones super high so that she gets neutral and kills all your models with delicious blasts.

P.s. Love the pic dorian. Good to see my mum in a meme.

Watch out for biting chill. I've used it to absolutely level anything that got close to her but didn't actually kill her.

We have lots of Rasputina players in our group who play the basic box, so as the Resurrectionist I can give you some ideas. First thing to do is spread out. If they play anything like our group she will channel her December's Curse spell throught a gamin cheat and soulstone the total throught the roof and than blast everything around the target. Also try to avoid more that one model to a piece of terrain as Freeze over can be a pain. The golem should not be too big a problem as it moves kinda slow and you could summon a flesh contruct and let the big guys fight it out. Ideal models to bring would be belles (to lure the gamins out of range), night terror and canine remains (fast and can spread out, making lots of targets). She is tricky to get close to, but if you can, she is not the best fighter. That is what I can offer based off how our players play her.

Well Rasputinas blast spell is evil, managed to wound 4 of my guys including Seamus.
His belles got upset by this and drew her closer whereby the main man proptly blew her head off with his flintlock.

Yeah I agree that spreading out is key. If you can summon a Flesh Construct into melee range with her it will realy ruin her day

[SoulG]

Blasts. You should fear blasts. And magic damage. BTW you should be taking Von Schill. Other than that she isn't too bad. Are you limited to a box set as well? Because well... look. Rezzer boxes suck and her being limited but not you is an unfair advantage. The only way to play fair is for neither to be limited.

Anyways. The trick is out-activating and getting past all her minions to take on her key models (usually Raspy herself).

[Huang Da Wei]

He ran the Rasputina box set, I went with Seamus, 3 Belles, Punk zombie and Miss deamenor just so I had a mix of melee and shooting

Try to engage her minions as fast as possible. Once they are locked in, she can't toss ice blasts through them anymore, which means she needs to get out from behind the rock she is probably hiding behind. That being said, Biting Chill can and will ruin your day though, so be certain not to let one of your Masters be the target of that, it will pretty much be the end of them.
