Ok i come to you after much deliberation and fear of getting mocked. ha
Well, lets use Hamelin for instance. I have read to buy 9 more rats to his crew for expansion.
Do i only count models in play at the start for my crew cost but can have any number of sidelined models that can be summoned into play?
Same thing with the Desolation Engine. Can i wait and bring it out later in the game and not pay its cost for the crew starting cost (Levi's crew i believe)? Or can i start with the engine and sideline the Steampunk Abomination with the knowledge that the engine can make the abominations.
tldr: how many sidelined models can i bring for my crew if models i put into play can summon or transform into them?
Thanks guys. sadly malifaux kinda died at my lgs but they had a ton of models 50% off so i went hog wild.
