Having someone ignore armor is cool sometimes but at the cost of a master ap it seems kinda meh (especially when your opponent isn't using armor). Ignoring htw is mostly good when you have focus or the Loco buff and the latter got significantly more risky to use lately. My mirror match against a resser Mcmourning a few months back also made it seem like summoning a flesh constructs at full wounds is a lot better than getting a scheme marker near a friendly model for your master's ap. Granted that player is better than me and has more experience with the doc specifically but damn the efficiency difference was real. Having nurses and Sebastian is fun though. The interact a friendly model feels really bad because you have to get within 8". I was trying to keep Dougie safe and it still put him at huge risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost by 2 and had I selected schemes smarter I could have won. Stupid levi. What were the schemes you should have taken and the ones you shouldhave not taken?

4thstringer Posted July 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 If I had taken dig their graves or eliminate the leader (I didn't take this one because of our experience gap) instead of claim jump I would have tied. And set up made me risk mcmourning in a way that gave away 2 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PositronMike Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 I am probably going to be taking these two masters to a tournament this weekend. If I do it will be my first game with McMourning so should be fun. My current thoughts are to run him as a back field model ordering others to do his dirty work by interacting. I am also expecting to get a lot of work out of his (0) push to move my big models about. This combined with nurses could make for a very painful experience for my opponent. A peace keeper doing minimum 7 damage ignoring armour and h2w sound nice. Nurses can also make the Guardian a much better beater as well turning them into a Ml7 3 min dam 4 model will be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Its in the FAQ. Bonus damage is only applied to the attack damage and not resulting triggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PositronMike Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 It doesn't as @trikk said. If it did it would be a rather trivial way to put 6 unavoidable damage out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludvig Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 I played Dr Mc yesterday and won! I was brginning to give up on him cause I've had five sound beatings up until yesterday. I actually didn't bring any nurses, just Sebastian and the chihuahua which proved extremely helpful against McTavish and a pigapult due to Seb's aura. Apart from that I used Judge, execuioner and a peacekeeper to cause all sorts of hell. McMourning more or less just walked around in the backfield and picked up heads. I'm still not sure I'm convinced on his greatness as a master, there's obviously something I'm missing. I wanted to ignore armor a few times but couldn't afford to loose the first activation with the big bastards, I think I gave that buff out once. I guess Sebasian eon me the game despite dying to a crazed werepig turn two 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thstringer Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I managed to pull a win yesterday vs. Misaki w/ yaz, lust, graves, misaki's totem, a samurai, and a monk that did healing and condition removal. I had 2 guardians, 2 nurses, a field reporter, a watcher, an austringer and 4 traps. Dougie had just badge and on the clock. Ended in a 9-7 victory, as we both took 4 for turf war, I got two for tailem before he his misaki away and three for claim jump., and he got 2 for frame and one for claim jump (possibly two, I don't remember for sure). Yaz was the only model I killed, guardians with precise getting the job done. I actually flipped really poorly on my Defensive +2 flips with the guardians, but knowing they were so hard to hit kept my opponent from trying def attacks that often on them, and made them whiff a couple of show you the door attempts. Dougie mainly was passing out interacts with his upgrade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludvig Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 That is one seriously oddball crew. Four traps and no pathfinder as well as a watcher in a crew without attacks? What did the traps do and do you think you could have done without them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thstringer Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Traps are static points to drop scheme markers and deny claim jump. I move them a little with the austringer and drop scheme markers with injection, on the order, and austringer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how important people seem to think activation control is it still seems odd. Denying claim jump is pretty handy though, everyone says it's so easy to do which doesn't seem reasonable. Guess you prove them wrong Have you tried hounds with McMourning? I'm thinking pushing the emissary and making it drop a marker with the doc and then charging for a (1) and having a to all your attacks. Silly but you know, not stranger than four traps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludvig Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 He does grant the attack but I wanted 12 attacks with positives from (1) charge and being near thr emissary. I always burn all my cards so that should be a viable method. You could use Lucius but he obviously isn't McMourning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
