Boomstick Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I'm in the process of putting together the Curiosity Killed the Cat box. Between that and the Cat Princess there are a LOT of cats in here. How many is reasonable to leave as singles vs pile together as another Rat King/Cat Princess or Cat Catcher conversions? I see you get a lot of cats/rats out with Hamelin, but there's also a good bit of cycling into other models. How many do you get on the table at the same time?

Cedar Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 My record was 9 rats at the same time on the table, but I was playing against Sommer, so his gremlins were dying super easy. I suggest leaving about 6-8 rats, as this number should be enough for 95% of your games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted May 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 @Cedar Sounds about like Ramos and his spiders then, as far as numbers go. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesy Blue Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I've played lists that started with 12. It's funny.... to me, only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I played Hamelin for a year with a pool of 9 rats, 2 rat kings and 2 rat catchers. There was the odd time I had to adjust my summoning to fit the models in my case, but by that stage I was already running away with the game anyway so it really didn't matter.

daniello_s Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I had 9 rats myself and it was enough. Not sure how about now cause Benny creates rats as well and i see him as a staple in Hamelin's crew so if you focus really hard on summoning them you might need 12 rats at least.

beergod Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I run 12, and am leaning on needing more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadhna Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I don't think that in a year of Hamelin games I've ever had more than 8 rats and 3 Rat Kings in play, even when I lived the dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've managed to get four Rat Kings on the table once, but I was really working on it. Rats tend to be cycled into Kings, or just die, so I don't think I've managed to put all 12 down. On the other hand I do keep forgetting that enemy models, and friendly models with blight, that die near Hamelin also summon rats, so there's that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesy Blue Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I've had way more than 12 Rats on the table at once. I've had 5 rat kings on the table at once, briefly, which was bad as I only have 4 models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
