Kotep Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Curious if anyone uses Rogue Necromancy to any success. Seems like a hefty cost for what it is. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 By itself it is a hefty cost. With the right support (mcmourning 2 upgrade, burst heals for 5 fron blood poisoning, movement assistance, etc) it can be a monster. I take it with mcmourning 2 almost always, often with mcmourning 1, and almost never with Molly. In general if a model has df 4 and is going to be hit by enemy models, it probably isn't great. But rogue Necromancy is close to good. And mcm2 takes him to df 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotep Posted November 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 I don't have/use McMourning 2.. side note, how does he make it DF 5? With McMourning 1 is the only thing I can do to bolster RN is to saturate it with poison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcmourning 2 gives an upgrade by eating a scrap that gives +1 df and flurry, which turns Rogue Necro into a monster. Additionally the Rogue Necro attack with pouncing strike is amazing, and plastic surgery can copy it. So a normal crew might make 2 Rogue necro attacks, but I've done 8-9 in one turn before with a mcm 2 crew. Mcmourning 1 offers poison and more importantly the blood poisoning ability to burst heal for 5 so you don't have to wait til the end of the turn for your heal. The crew also has movement tricks to move the Rogue necro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleW Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 I have a game coming up with Molly and will try rogue necromancy again Playing against Nellie and thought the +flip on his attack could be nice against manipulative or when getting distracted... will let you know how it went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 The + on attack is great. I find I have the best luck with it if I don't overextend him too soon. Sometimes I get excited and want to throw it up T1 or early T2 and I'm almost always disappointed with how quickly it's taken out. If I hold it back a little bit more, I tend to have it last longer. I also have the best luck if there is some efficient way to heal it (preferably from range), as it will get hit, a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has incredible triggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 I still shudder to recall one game a long time ago facing a Guild crew that I wasn't used to facing (Lucius I think) and not realizing how far they could shoot (this was M2E). I lost it T1 before I could do anything with it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
