Malifoe Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I don't have the book with me, so apologies if I miss the names on anything or I have overlooked an obvious rule. Can Nicodem, with 3 corpse tokens, cast his create undead spell (Reanimator?) and create a desolation engine? The engine is undead, is not unique or a spirit. It is in another faction, but the spell doesn't limit the possibilities to faction and Nicodem can recruit outside his faction anyway. This seems pretty powerful, as I am guessing that to play Nicodem at all you need plenty of corpse tokens for zombies anyway. If you take just some of those tokens and make the 12 SS Desolation engine you are getting a great deal, plus the 2 steampunk abominations that it will creat upon death and the two corpse tokens those will create when they are destroyed. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I think its is possible. My thought is that its not super powerful since 3 corpse tokens takes time to get and Nicodem is better off keeping some of those as mindless zombies or else he goes down really easy.

EricJ Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Errata added an ability to the Desolation Engine which does not allow it to be summoned except by the Steampunk Abominations. He can still however summon 4 Steampunk Abominations and they can summon the Engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malifoe Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 EricJ- That's good. It would be lame if the master of zombies was more interested in animating engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 The Engine is quite a bit more dead-fleshy than you might be thinking, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
