Whut Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 So I keep seeing good things about these guys, but every time I double back to look at them I see 4 wounds with no armor, hard to kill, or hard to wound, and it immediately puts me off of them. How do you avoid these things getting ripped apart? They are so squishy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancy_Hat Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Df 6 on them is super nice to not get hit. Make sure you don't over extend on From the Shadows, I usually go Defensive +2 on them for their first activation of the game, usually just to burn an activation to see what my opponent is planning. Always on the Move allows them to be bouncing around the battlefield while doing what you need them to do, this is great when paired with a scheme that allows enemy interaction such as Distract or Cursed Object. These guys (and gal) can put out some damage in a pinch to finish off a model, but they are not really wanting to be in the fight, but rather on the outskirts of it to do your objectives, so they should also be difficult for your enemy to get to them. Definitely try them out, as far as objective runners go they are among the best in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausplosions Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 They aren't meant to survive they are meant to put as many scheme markers down before the die as they can. If you have Stake a Claim and don't take Crooligans, then you are doing it wrong. The same could almost be said for any scheme marker scheme. Hell they are even great for frame for murder, your opponent will see them dropping markers all over and kill them quick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 They may not have many woulds, but with Df 6 and the ability to TP when they place a Scheme, they can be really hard to tie down. I've found they have been well worth their points every game I've taken them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeregrineFalcon Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Yah for the reasons mentioned above they sort of took the place of my Canine Remains in my crews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zFiend Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I have been preferring Necropunks myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevorin Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Necropunks are great, but Crooligans are cheaper. I love them with Nicodem, and have been taking them for any of my scheme marker needs. I bamf them around, dropping scheme markers, and when they die, I use the corpse (though they dont quite die as often as you might think, when you are careful with placement, and where they run). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clement Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 They both have their place. Nothing delivers a message quite like a necropunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makrar Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 They are actually incredibly hard to take out as you can use the place to bounce around to very hard to reach places if needs be. They are really good for scheme marker heavy schemes and will very likely get you the vps for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entropolous Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Here's an odd question related to crooligans: Can you interact with an opponent's model you are engaged with if you haven't taken distract, cursed object, etc as a scheme?

Ratty Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Nope, you would not have the action, they are not in the core rules as a general action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
