Freman Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Fair enough. I doubled their utility by putting Marcus in my bag as well. Actually that bag is basically a mass of Constructs and Undead for Leveticus, with a few masters that allow them to be taken in different factions, plus Beasts for McMourning and Marcus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to get some Beasts/Academics without taking their crew boxes, thanks mate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head, Rogue Necromancy, Canine Remains, Shikome, Night Terrors, Valedictorian and the Students. In Guild that's just Guild Hounds I think. And Sanctioned Spellcasters, in Guild. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freman Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 And Sanctioned Spellcasters in Guild. How have people found them? I have a box but I've never used them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Very opponent-dependent. For a long while my meta was heavy Neverborn, and I got work out of them. Then it shifted, and they were useless. Now it’s tipping back toward making them useful again. The need for a cheap Ca has lessened with the introduction of thralls (far more wounds for relative cost) and reporters (condition damage also cuts through incorporeal). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get some Autopsies 'cause they seem cool, Shikome and Scorpius probably. I don't want to waste money on stuff like Marcus or Sandeep, as I hate Arcanists and it will be stuff that I wouldn't use with any of my Masters. Razorspine Rattler is available as a single model, so you don't need to buy Marcus' box set in order to get it. Could be great with McMourning because of Poison, and it would add some speed to the list. What about the Guild Sanctioned Spellcasters for McMourning (assuming run as a Resser Master)? Would you get some use out of them with any of your other Guild masters? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanctioned Spellcasters are fine Minions, I think, but I own McM, McCabe, Perdita, Lucius and Nellie as Masters and every Henchman except for Sam and Judge. Don't know which choice can perform better with the Spellcasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomy Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 The Razorspine Rattler just dropped a stone in cost in the errata, so definitely worth a try with Test Subjects. Just ordered me one 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus' box is pretty amazing. Cojo is great now, rattlers have poison synergy and are at the very least decent now, Myranda is great and has poison synergy, sabretooths are great so the only thing you aren't using from that box is Marcus himself and the totem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh... Myranda... She actually could sacrifice herself to shapechange into a Poison Gamin. Between it and Sebastian you could effectively process catalyst twice and do 6 damage to anything unlucky enough to have 2 poison and activate within 8 of Dougy/Sebastian and 4 of the Poison Gamin. I think the poison gamin will be immediately murdered after it does this once, but it's a potentially amazing surprise. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that's why they were specifically not allowed on the upgrade Having Myranda turn into it might not be the best option (SS wise anyway), but if things are set up just right could ruin someone's day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 With that kins of synergy it might even bw qorth tradibg down like that. I usually peotect Sebastian aomewhat by engaging enemies so they have to work to get at him so maybe Myranda could so the same. Either way she is basically a discount to a cerberus or blessed if you need one or you can keep her on the table and have a model that is hard to hit and has great utility, healing and giving ap to other beasts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchrisobrien Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I've used Amina, the Rattler, and the Scorpius in all of my McMourning games so far. The Rattler and Scorpius have been great; You can push them with Injection, and they will heal the damage when the activate next turn. The Rattler hands out poison w/out need a suit (Scorpius is built in, but suits can be negated) and is pretty tough for 6 stones. I haven't mastered Amina yet, but I can see how she can be useful. Need more practice with her. Other models I have to try are the silurids and the dawn serpent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukemouse Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 What upgrade would you take on Cojo? Unnerving Aura and Necrotic Preparation both sound useful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1amius Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I prefer to use grootslangs give them Asura Roten and Emissary and u will have pretty nice models with enough dmg, poison, mobility and survival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have the cards right in front of me but... Asura roten and mcmourning undead aura of 3' sounds great to me. Saturday I played a list with 4 beverborn hounds for cheap activations which charged with poison made quite extra damage and turned into undead hounds when dying. Now thinking in asura that would give them (when next to Mc) some great attacks too. Or even undead nurses could try this long range debuff.? Definitely wanna try 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good synergy with his melee reach and ht to try and keep several models there for passive damage. The ml7 is just so good for disengaing strikes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
