Five Resurrectionist Models Every Outcast Player Needs

[Hateful Darkblack]

I really appreciate the way that the Resurrectionists make so many excellent models for the Outcasts to use. Which are your favorites? Note that here I'm including only those which can be hired by more than one Master, not models that are designed for a specific Outcast Master like the Nurse (for Jack Daw) and Izamu (for Leveticus).

 

1. Canine Remains (Nix, Any Master)

 

Notable as the one Resser model that every Outcast Master can hire, if they get Nix as a Henchdog in their Crew. The Canine Remains provide a great objective-runner, but more than that. They debuff both Df and Wp, they can spread poison so Avatar Tara's attacks work better, and they're a cheap and significant minion with a good attack. The Outcasts have a problem with finding cheap objective-runners in-faction, so the Canine Remains can help a lot.

 

2. The Hanged (Pariah of Bone Leveticus, Jack Daw)

 

While this model was of course originally designed with Jack Daw in mind, it's useful to Leveticus too. Whispers in Darkness is a brutal attack that can shut down many resilient models by stopping healing. The Hanged also have solid defenses, decent movement, and they work well with the Jack Daw fear-and-tarpits style. Great for Reckoning.

 

3. Crooligans (Pariah of Bone Leveticus, Tara/Karina Summon, Sewer King Hamelin)

 

Tara can Summon Crooligans, but they might not be the best summoning choice, since they can't Interact on their first turn and they get buried after that, and further more they can't use From The Shadows when summoned.

 

But Leveticus and Hamelin both love these guys. They're a fast objective runner that starts out in perfect position. They often die, but that's okay: they've earned you VPs by then.

 

4. The Drowned (Pariah of Bone Leveticus, Tara/Karina Summon, Jack Daw)

 

Fantastic territory holders. They have a natural synergy with Jack Daw's toxic territory style, but all of the applicable Outcast models can find a place for them. They're resilient and capable in melee combat.

 

Karina can summon them to jam up chokepoints or take down enemy models in position. (And remember the trick of having Nix in Tara's Crew to give the Drowned Fast and burn it out so it doesn't clog your buried model slot.)

 

Jack Daw loves them because they synergize with Jaakuna Ubume (who almost made this list) and with Ama No Zako. They're a Tormented model, so Jack Daw can speed them up with all his movement tricks, which is great because they're designed to get in close with an enemy target, preferably a much more expensive enemy target whose time and resources they can waste.

 

Leveticus can hire them and get use from them as well, but he has other heavy hitters who may give him better results in melee.

 

5. Student of Viscera (Pariah of Bone Leveticus, Tara/Karina Summon)

 

(replaced Yin, which of course Karina can't actually summon because Yin is an Enforcer)

 

Actually, all of the students. It's great to be able to tailor what you summon to your enemy's Crew: living, undead, or construct models. Levy has to guess based on enemy faction (Arcanist/Construct, Guild or Neverborn or Gremlin/Living, Resser/Undead.) Solid models that can break a lot of defenses with their trigger-stopping and positive twists to damage, with good damage resistance and great damage spread.

 

I just picked Student of Viscera because Living is still, just barely, the most common model type. Whichever one your opponent is facing.

In summary, there are a lot of really powerful and well-made Resurrectionist models for the Outcasts to use. Some Masters (like Von Schill and Viktorias) don't use Resser models that often, but they can still use Canine Remains of course.

 

I was tempted to include Death Marshalls, who are definitely some of the best Undead models Outcasts can hire, but I guess most people would considered them Guild.

 

How about the rest of you Outcast players? What are your favorite Resser models to play in your Outcast Crews?

 

(Resser players, please feel free to give advice for what models help Outcast Masters!)

I'm pretty sure Karina cannot summon Yin, minion only.

[Kadeton]

Sadly mine are all Bone Levy-related, because I don't have Tara and I haven't got a proper crew together for Jack. I love taking Sybelle with Scramble, the Valedictorian with Oathkeeper, Belles, Necropunks and occasionally a Hanged.

Love this thread idea - some neat tricks in your writeup!

Darn!

Tara isn't the one summoning, it is karina that can summon minion horror models.

Canine Remains only Debuff Df, not DF and WP unless there is another model giving them that ability that I'm not familiar with.

Canine Remains debuff Wp with their Rabies trigger.
