Stitched Flesh

I think for McM you have to succesfully cast Monstrous creation and it's...8 body part sacrifice vs 5 for the construct. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong

Thanks for the pointers guys. I am thinking that loosely: McM and the 'punks will support each other. Seb and his dags will roll together. Nursey and the 'slinger. All subject to the missions etc but there are a few obvious synergies that pop out while giving a couple of groups that can try to secure some VPs. I should get to borrow book2 this weekend so I'll get a better idea of the new models and their abilities. The Dead rider sounds like fun.

Greetings. I am finally getting going playing McMourning...checked the post bag the bulk of my models came in...December 2009 haha! The local gaming crew are telling me they are usually playing scraps at 35SS. This is the preliminary list I have in my head with the models I have available: McM Sebastian Convict 'slinger Nurse 3 Necropunks 3 Canine Remains 1 Zombie chichi 8SS cache I have a Flesh Construct and a spare dog available as summons. Planning on another FC and a rogue necromancy when they come out. What are the thoughts on playing so many low value models with Dogs and 'Punks in the list? I like the potential for managing my activations but can also see it getting ugly if the other crew gets a hold of me as McMourning is the only real hitter in the list.

I thought so. It makes it pretty unlikely for most spells to work without cheating if you need a suit that you don't automatically meet. Managing that control hand looks like it is a key part of the game.

Thanks. I found the specific reference under the graverobber rules. I have read through the rules a couple of times now and I think I'm starting to get a handle on things. I have a question about triggers though. Do you need to get your trigger suit requirement in your combat or casting flip for it to go off or will it work if you get the suit requirement in the damage flip too? Probably a dumb question but there you go. Cheers

Cool. I have a set of 3 necropunks and the convict 'slinger too at this time. I am figuring 1 nurse at 25-30SS will probably be plenty. Canine remains seem like a no brainer for a McM + Seb list so I'm sure I'll make a plan down that line shortly. Can someone point out in the rules where killed models leave corpse counters? I can see specific entries against the FG and necro-punks but I haven't found an entry for the generation of counters by other models. Cheers

OK I finally got my minis and the rule book on hand. Loving the look of the models and I like the feel of the McMournings crew now I have been able to check out that stats and rules in a little detail. Just a quick question. Does anyone running McM make much use of the healing powers of Sebastian and the Nurse? Does this crew need to balance dishing out the hurt and healing it or have Masters found this to be a waste of actions?

Bah! The bank stuffed up the funds transfer so I'm still waiting to see the minis Really looking forward to getting this together and knocking out some matches.

Ah "0" SS seemed like a poor trade off haha! Thanks for the help guys

Thanks for the advice ork56. After reading some of the battle reports there is definitely a lot to learn that I obviously haven't perceived from other reading. I can see why talking strategy is going to be difficult at best!

Hi There New to Malifaux and have got a few miniatures on the way. I have always loved Herbert West and Frankenstein type stories so I was drawn to McMourning straight away. I have the McMourning box, Necropunks and Convict 'slinger enroute with the ruleset. Obviously I'm not 100% on the exact dynamics yet but if anyone want's to throw out some ideas for lists/strategies using these models at 25ss-30ss matches that would be grand. I found the crew builder file and it looks like you don't pay the SS cost for your master? If that's right this is the rough idea I have fr a 25SS encounter. McM Sebastian Nurse Necropunk x 3 That's 20SS. How many SS should I leave in the kitty or is there better value in taking some canine remains or something to fill out the 25SS? Thanks...and hopefully I'll make more sense after I get the rules and read them
