Aeschere Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Hello all, Molly has been my go-to master pre-Covid. Now that we are restarting the scene again in The Netherlands, she still looks like a decent choice for almost every strategy and scheme in GG3. In my opinion, Molly has the advantage of being able to use a default list for every situation. This is the default list, options are given below. Molly Squidpiddge (non-titled) Necrotic Machine Crooligan Crooligan Philip and the Nanny Archie Killer Instinct Dead Rider The Forgotten Marshal The Whisper This leaves 3 Soul Stones There are two options, depending on what you are facing and what you are needing. Swap 1 Crooligan for a Night Terror Swap the Dead Rider for a Rogue Necromancy Most of the time, the default list will suffice. You can summon the Night Terror and/or a Rabble Riser with The Forgotten Marshal (don't forget the upgrade) and get stuff done. I do like the new Molly as well, and it looks like you can switch her over 1-on-1. The possibility to eat markers and give out slow tips the favor for now. Perhaps when I get back into the game a bit more, I can see uses for the new version. What are your thoughts on this? What Molly lists are you using? Curious to find out more!

Maniacal_cackle Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 My first advice would be to try out your list! The best way to test a list is to play it. Second advice would be if you're upgrading Archie, try him with Whisper or GST and see which upgrade you like more. Third advice would be if you need another model to try out, maybe give Manos a go. He does a lot to complement Molly's playstyle, although he isn't as good this GG. P.S. Rogue necro is a monster with McMourning 2, so you'll want it on the table eventually even if you don't like it with Molly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeschere Posted December 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Thanks for the reply. I made one correction to the list; I run Archie with Killer Instinct instead of GST. Adding Ruthless to the combat monster is just golden. The movement during the end phase helps a bit as well. If I am facing a crew without terrifying, I will switch to The Whisper. Getting that Leap off is crucial is most cases and The Whisper really helps by pre-selecting the correct cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note Deadly Pursuit is the minion only ability on the upgrade, so Archie would not benefit from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow, for some reason I totally missed the line above that says it is only given to a minion. Thanks for pointing this out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BimVooDoo Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Don't you consider bringing to the list the Noxious Nephilim? I used it in a couple of crews along with Sloth and the flight + fast makes him a good beater, also you can draw a couple cards with him the first turns, also provides you with a easy corpse to give focus with GST.

Aeschere Posted December 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 The Noxius Nephilim seems like a great addition, unfortunately, I don't have the model (yet). I will certainly consider him when I do. Just not sure who to swap out to make room for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My struggle with the Noxious is he is a slow lumbering model (max speed of 10 inches before triggers or assistance), and with df 4 dies very easily. I'd prefer models like Archie, Dead Rider, or Manos for mobility. For slower moving models, Valedictorian, Anna Lovelace, Madame Sybelle, etc are probably more appealing to me. That said, he is one of the only severe six models in faction so plays well with focus. 7 hours ago, Aeschere said: The Noxius Nephilim seems like a great addition, unfortunately, I don't have the model (yet).

Due to the above I wouldn't rush to buy it, but it is a fun option and if you like playing in keyword it is worth having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Git Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 An issue I have with Noxious is his basically lack of a bonus action. What do Forgotten want with a corpse? The only thing I can think of is Molly's Forgotten Knowledge, but is there anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally i've wished for a way to make a corpse to enable wyrd combos like Bete Noire as an OOK... But Noxious to enable Bete is not really what I'm looking for xD If he had fly with me AND corpse making it'd be super sweet, and I'd play him in most molly lists (well, maybe... Dead rider and manos would maybe still be better). I suspect the corpse is there for the Nephilim half of his keyword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurl Corpse (on Archie) exists too, but that's oc very niche ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddyBear Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Noxious in my opinion, it is a more suitable piece for Mcm2; not that he needed it, since even Rogue N. works better with him than with Molly.🤷 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
