I think I would go with:
Kirai (Cach 7SS)
 +Absorb Spirit
Datsue Ba
 +My Little Helper
 +Spirit Whisper
Philip and the Nany
 +Haunting Cries
 +Wronged Spirits
Dead Doxy
Night Terror
Night Terror

You should be able to get the doxy to place two schemes so philip can draw you cards. If not that and SS is enough, Kirai can also filter some cards for you.
Kirai and Datsue can both summon a Seshin/turn, Datsue can even summon 2 one turn and give you an extra card.
Night Terrors are good summoning anchors for Drowned (finish the job, so more snack for Philip if they die) and then something more, and helps you out activate your oponent.

This list can go very wrong if you end up with a truly lousy hand. It more or less lack hitting power. So you better get that 11 or 12, so you can get those Goryos or Shikomes. Both Kirai and Datsue can hit some, and when your oponent kills something, you better be in LoS to throw Ikiyro in its face. Sure, Philip can shoot, but tbh, it is not why he is there.

TY, I run Windows 10 and google Chrome Version 44.0.2403.157, anything you want in version numbers and stuff, just ask away.

when I try to sign in via facebook i get an error message saying:

"Appen är inte konfigurerad: This app is still in development mode, and you don't have access to it. Switch to a registered test user or ask an app admin for permissions."

the first is saying, "the app is not configured"

Doesn't he look like the "bug" in MIB?

Nice color coding of the masters, it realy made the articel so much more easy to read!

My 6:th and last game is here. This will not be a full report, as it would not make the game justice at all. Alot of strange stuff happend

So, yet again Patzer (Lynch/Neverborn) was my oponent. I played the Dr (McMourning), and yet again I lost! (9-7 neverborn win)

STRATEGY: 

Extraction  

A Line in the Sand
Breakthrough 
Cursed Object 1

Protect Territory 

Because he is a good sport! And we have loads of fun playing!

As a resser I embalm, therefore I am!

Michael who? 

I have to butter you up, so you get into somesort of comfort zone, so I can kill you dead on the battlefield Patzer

Favorit beatsticks for ressers are

Izamu, 50mm base, 3" melee range and can both take and deal damage. ohh and he can heal!

Valedictorian, 50mm, 3" melee range and is fast and have flurry! 

Betê Noire, the lady that never dies

Mortimer (Nico box), Awesome henchmen, can dig for corpse markers and he has a shovel that can realy kill stuff in close combat

Sebastian (McMourning Box) Likes Poison, not ideal henchmen for Nico, atleast not early on

Sybelle (Seamus box). Buffs Rotten Belles and can realy help forcing oponent. Can take a beating, and can deal pain

Minions

Punk Zombies (in Nico box), Hard to kill, Hard to wound, Mi 6, Flurry and can be summoned for a knight

Crooligans (wait for Molly box). Awesome for anything that has to do with schemes, especialy distract!

Hanged, always scary and they can realy hit hard

Rotten Belles (Seamus box) are awesome, they can force oponent models to come to you at long range

Nurse (McMourning box) are nice suport model, but not my favorit with Nicodem

Flesh Constuct (McMourning box), Large pile of wounds that can swallow things whole

K-9 (McMourning box) Fast zombie dogs that reduce DF and if you have crows to spare (wich you will never have) they can dig up corpse markers. Fast!

Mindless Zombies. OK, not a minion (yet), but can work nice to move "Corpse markers" up the field. and as they are undead, they can help you get cards when you sacrifice them. You can always summon bigger zombies from them as they are corpse markers and a zombie at the same time

Nicodem is not easy to kill, and in my opinion works best if he moves up a bit. Use one AP to walk him 2 first turns if you can, or use a rotten belle to lure him up, to save his own AP for other stuff. He can hand out fast and slow, he can heal undead models and he can ress. He is a supporting master that can summon stuff depending on what you need. I try to have a big soulestone cash (6 or 7 stones) when I play him, as you very often need to stone for crows

Had another game vs Patzer today. Today it were Neverborn (Patzer) vs Resser (me)

50 SS game, Lillith for Neverborn and Nicodem for Ressers. Hopefully I will post a better battlereport when Patzer post me his list. The game was a nice walk in the park for Neverborn who beated me fair and squar 9-4? Might had been 9-3, not entierly sure.

We played a Headhunter strategy with Entourage, Make them suffer and Distract. I can't remember the last one

I picked Make them suffer and Distract (wich I totaly forgot)

Patzer picked Make them suffer and Entourage

I got (from memory)

Distract 1

Heads 2

Make them suffer 1 (or 0)

Patzer got

Heads 4

Make them suffer 3

Entourage 2

I saved me a point with a summoned Rotten bell Luring Lillith back out from my deployment zone

So a loss for the resser :S

And as allways against Patzer, an awesome and funny game, even he totaly owned me!

So Nicodem has to decide if he wants to use the vulture or him sleves when generating an or with a Ca action, is that how I should understand it?

The Vulture has this Tactical action

(1)  Eyes and Ears: (Ca:4 / TN:12 / Rg:12): Until start of this model´s next Activation, target friendly Master may use this model to draw LoS and range for any Ca Actions it takes

The upgrade Manical Laugh reads:

(0) Muwahahaha (Ca 6   / TN: 13   / Rg:   8 ):

Summon one mindless Zombie into base contact with each Corpse Marker in range, then discard all Corpse Markers in range. Mindless Zombies may not count as Corpse Markers for this Action

If Vulture has managed to cast Eyes and Ears, and if Nicodem then cast Muwahahaha.

1. Do the count as LoS?

2. Can I make Mindless Zomies arround both the Vulture and Nicodem at the same time?

I guess Manical laughter also can get confusing here, but that is an not a  

Thankyou Patzer, it took me about 10 games to get the Vulture to work, but I start to get him now! Earlier I have more or less used him as an extra corpse marker, since he always died. But now (and a few battles back) I realy have started to make good use of it.

And yes, Think with the Decaying aura I think Bag of tools is a better pick

One of my favorit oponents dared me, Patzer! All is written from memory, and is most likley not 100% accurate, but accurate enough to be true. Result is 100% true though!

Board:

6 houses formed an 45 degree tilted square in the middle, and a gallow in the middle of the sqare. The gallow got declared as soft cover, but see through. Between middle houses near both deployment zones were an impassable terrain about 70mm in diametre. A few soft cover fences were spread out. Buildings were possible to walk into, but no shooting out except doors, and no cover (Paper walls) for shoting out of a building.

I deployed first. Pretty centered, Patzer did the same. My hand was bull, I had a jack and rest below 8! Patzer were kind enough to let me go first.

Turn one:

I moved up Mortimer once and failed to find a bone, bot lost my spleen for a corpse marker wich Nicodem turned into a Crooligan. Nico also handed out fast to Valedictorian and Izamu. Vulture linked up to his master and flew of to widen as much as possible Valedictorian flew up (trippel walked from the fast) on my right flank and hided behind a building, but still had view over the gallows. Crooligan tried to stay back and hidden

Patzer moved up his Rotten Belle and Lured my Valedictorian out in the middle and pounced and missed, where Jaakuna who had uppers from his Nurse had already placed her selves (Taking terrain damage) Seamus was deployed a bit bad, and had to doubblewalk to be able to back ally up mid board (think it were first turn atleast) CC killer scooted up on my left flank pretty alone. Nurse walked up behind Sybelle out of melee range of Valedictorian. Sybelle and Jaakuna were both engaged with Valedictorian. Datsue Ba walked up in cover of the Gallow to the right.

(0 - 0)

Turn two (let the mayham begin):

Can't remember who won initiative

Mortimer still couldn't find a bone (not a card above 9 on my hand even that I stoned) but lost some more of his spleen. Nicodem woke up a Necropunk and gave my Betê and Valedictorian fast. Betê got Paralyzed from the nurse though.Valedictorian lecture noted Sybelle so she couldn't declare triggers. Valedictorian killed the Rotten Belle and took some beating from Jaakunas auras and Sybelles whip. Seamus Aura prevented me from healing or stone for her) Izamu got charged by Datsue Ba through the Gallow. I think Izamu got killed with her (Ignoring armour and stuff) and maybe something more, Betê woke up (remember no 10 on my hand). I rushed my crooligan up and planted explosives to get 2 points, he got 2 for Murder protige on Izamu. No heads were picked up.

(2 – 2)

Turn three:

With a flurry from Valedictorian and a charge from Mortimer I managed to kill Seamus! And on top of that via vultures link up I managed to heal valedictorian (at a cost of a corpse marker) from 8 wounds to full. Summon a Punk Zombie (from the rotten Belle I killed) and I thik handle out slow to Datsue Ba. Datsue Ba (and maybe something more) managed to ”kill” Betê who safley buirred, but Datsue were still engaged with Valedictorian (who essentialy hooked up all mid board her selves). Think he got another Seshin for the trouble. My crooligan managed to sneak in and get a head and bounce to saftey. For some reason (cant remember) he got a Gaki up close to my Necropunk. My Punk Zombie killed his nurse and Betê reapeared on the board to get the head

(3 – 3) one head each

Turn four (dust setlles):

I declare Bodyguard on Betê who has started to run of into my upper left corner). Copy cat killer tries to run after her to shoot her dead. Jaakuna falls to Valedictorian, Punk Zombia picks up a head. Arround Mortimer, Crooligan and Necropunk battle I managed to kill of all but the Gaki who is on one wound. I think Datsue Ba got killed too. Think we both picked up a head each. I also think Betê and CC-killer are hooked up in Melee and I think Betê killed him.

(5 – 4) Body guard for me and one head each

Turn five (mop up):

this is based on what would happend. My Betê picked up another head and made sure to be way up the board for bodyguard. All Patzers models were hooked up in battle with Valedictorian and or Mortimer, so he could not grab a head.

(8 – 4) Bodyguard since Betê lived and was allmost in his deployment zone and a head for me

As always against Patzer, an awesome and funny battle. I felt under till I managed to kill Seamus and heal my valedictorian in 3 activations. That was truly the moment the battle turned. Mortimer is realy dangerous with his shovel (Ml 7! and 2/3/4 damage spread). When Seamus were down to 2 wounds I saw my possibilty to kill Seamus. With a lucky low flip on damage prevent and I had another head and corpsemarker. To bad I did not pick assassinate. But I would never expect to kill Seamus turn 3, ever. Especialy a Seamus without bag of tools.

8 – 4 for the ressers (and the right resser)

How did your opponent manage to score negative points?

I said if I managed, and if there is a will, there is a way! Just trying to find loopholes in the rules

if I manage to get -4 points, say 8 - - 4, do I count it as a 12 victory then?

niceley done Stryder!

I still have one game up, and by the looks of it it will be the one aginst tom, unless I find a Guild player to play this weekend. Have a McCabe game comming this weekend (maybe)

Hmm, but if (and I mean IF) I get away with a win against you does that count for team Ressers? Or do you mean you will just happily loose to a Resser in general?

If I loose against an oponent that is a good chap, I do not mind losing. And Malifaux comunity arround here atleast is awesome! 

And top that with loosing against a Resser, then it allmost feel like a good thing to loose!

I looking forwrd to contribute with a loss Tom, as long as it is to another Resser, I'll do it with a smile!
