Spawn mother in McM


4thstringer

Recommended Posts

So for my iron chef challenge, I was now given the spawn mother.  Since I am focusing on guild right now, that means I have to make a mcmmourning list to do a symbols of authority game.  This might be my hardest challenge yet (so far I've won with Ronin, exorcists, and orderlies).  I'm not sure that there is anything good about these models.

What kind of list would you build? I'm considering using the +charge aura to make a alpha striking list with double Cerberus.  But as of now I'm not attached to anything, and have a week to figure this out.

The extra plus 2 charge could go nicely with some Mounted Guard (12 inch charge) plus something nice and hitty in tow. Does mean using the MG though....

A lone silurid with +2 charge could set up to pretty much steal any marker putting some pressure on your opponent. A couple of sabretooths also seems like a good way to pressure the opponent, they can cross between scheme running and killing nicely. You might want to swap one of them for a blessed of december to require less of the same suit. 

Take a raptor to counter punish the weak and go light on minions apart from that. There's a few ss to spare if you take all of the above. Basically go for the throat or go home.

Where can I find more information about this iron chef challenge?

I can tell you the basics.  For every week in my meta the other people in my chat get to select a model that my faction can legally take and I have to try to not only include it, but feature it in some way.  You get rated on list building, full card usage and flair.

it's been a fun thing in our group, even though man does guild have some stinkers to work with.  In the future I might limit it to in faction, as some models have buffing upgrades which don't cross over. (Like oxfordians for example)

So i think I'm running the following:

Declared Faction: Guild 
Crew Name: spawn mother 50ss 
Leader: McMourning - Cache:(4)
   Test Subjects 1ss 
   Guild Coroner 1ss 
Spawn Mother 8ss 
Sabertooth Cerberus 9ss 
   A Debt To The Guild 1ss 
Sabertooth Cerberus 9ss 
   A Debt To The Guild 1ss 
Guild Guard 3ss 
Silurid 7ss 
Guild Guard 3ss 
Mounted Guard 7ss 
 

While they are built to alpha I'm actually thinking of a strategy that uses this crews mobility to guard the markers, and maybe flings the leaping models past/over defending models.

I managed to win 10-8.  I really struggled to get the masks I needed for leap, but managed to deny 2 punish points.   The spawn mother's extra charge didn't matter much except fear for my opponent, but my summoned gupp got my last marker.  You can summon pretty far up board if you try.  And all those leaps can sure get recover evidence markers.

So what I'm hearing is drop mommy for the Jury?

I'll say I don't think spawn momma is a competitive choice, but then I don't think  mcm is a competitive choice either.  My opponent is doing yhr the challenge too and brought a torokage and a specialist.  So we weren't playing power models here.
