Princess Delores Graciela

Template:Mercbox This model is playable only in an Unlimited format.

Princess Delores Graciela specializes in littering the battlefield with bullets. Utilizing Royal Prerogative as a Princess of Ord, she acquired All the Guns along with anything else that might be useful from the country’s treasure vault. With unnatural poise and dexterity, she fires many of her copious guns all at once, allowing her to target multiple models at the same time. Despite the fact that it should clearly not be humanly possible while wielding so many weapons, she can even Aim at particular targets, should the opportunity present itself.

Basic Info

Tip: When using Warroom you add Delores to your army by attaching it to an Ordic model.

Thoughts on Princess Delores Graciela

Princess Delores Graciela in a nutshell

Delores is the gun-toting princess of Ord, and her rules reflect both her command of Ordic forces (and loyalty), as well as her skill with firearms.

Her minifeat gives her 1 truly devastating turn of high accuracy and the ranged output equivalent to a battle engine. But she is likely to die if she can't use 'save the princess' or leaves anything alive in the smoking craters around her.

Combos & Synergies

• The Toro is an Ordic jack available to many players. Also it is durable enough to Save the Princess several times. It also loves being MAT 7.
• Dez & Gubbin - They are an Ordic model widely available in Hordes.
• Bullet Hell + Black Spot from Rahera in Mercenaries can potentially let Princess shoot the bazooka 10 times (every initial attack she makes with a pistol or minigun can trigger a free Bazooka attack), 11 if it's Rahera's feat turn. (This doesn't work when Rahera is in Cryx, because they become different Factions.)
• She gains Swift Vengeance in Strange Bedfellows. She won't get to shoot, but the extra 3" advance is nice.
• Grim2 buffs her quite well in Vengeance of Dhunia.
  • Brug - Target Acquired from him makes her very dangerous on Bullet Hell turns.
• Any form of damage buff/ARM debuff is great with a model that has this much ranged out put: Warwitch Deneghra, Fiona the Black, Hunters Grim, Bane Witch Agathia and many others provide this in some form.
• She can accompany a Toro under the care of Asphyxious4, making it an effective MAT 7, P+S 20 with Dark Shroud. In Cryx there are also a variety of different debuff casters to maximise her ranged output.
• Scaverous has Feat of Worms for more output and Telekinesis for more threat ranged and a to-hit buff.
• As a caster that wants to get things done personally, Mackay is a big fan of Veteran Leader.
• Ashlynn2 can revive her with her feat, speed her up with True Path and on Bullet Hell turn she will set the world on fire with Hand of Fate
• Gunnbjorn2 - His feat doesn't work on her her because she has no AOE weapon, not even her bazooka, but his Bring It Down or Relay Coordinates battle plans work on her, as well as Fox Hole and Explosivo. Naturally you need to be in Vengence of Dhunia for this to work, where Delores becomes a Trollblood/Minion model.
• Lukas, Thexus, Sturm & Drang all can TK her around.
• Ossrum - Snipe and Bulldozing jacks for devastating Bullet Hell turns.
• Gorten - She can slam him forward for extra threat range on the feat and lock opponents into place so she can unload hell upon them.
• Magnus1 - A Death Ward Toro as a bodyguard and Snipe.
• Magnus2 - Unyielding Toros to protect her and Bullet Dodger and Calamity.
• Iron Lich Asphyxious - Can only take her with Madelyn, but its sooo worth it! Her knock down gun lets you double stack Scything Touch and Parasite on a target for -5 ARM.
• Calaban - He has Parasite so soften up targets. unfortunately she is not Friendly Faction to him so cannot trigger his feat, which would be amazing.
• Maelok - He has Mortality. Just as with Calaban, nothing else on his card interacts with her, sadly.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• She's expensive money-wise to play: being packaged with the Security Bots inflates her dollar cost to the same as a heavy warjack.
• She has no backup melee weapon. Gunfighter is nice and all, but sometimes you get stuck in melee with someone that can't be targeted by ranged attacks.
  • Likewise being blinded or affected by similar abilities that deny shooting neuters her for a turn.
• She's not a minion model, so she gets no Friendly Faction synergies there, outside of VoD.

Tricks & Tips

• "Save the Princess"
  • It is not the same as Sacrificial Pawn - instead it allows her to shunt any type of attack onto a nearby Ordic model (Sac Pawn only works vs ranged attacks).
  • It is not optional and the hit & damage must be transferred (if a friendly Ordic model is near enough).
• "Mastermind"
  • Due to the way this ability is worded she never occupies your merc solo slot in non-merc, non-cross faction themes, making her inclusion very flexible.
