Ageral Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I am looking to pick up a Seamus crew and so far this is what I have in my cart: Seamus box Extra box of Rotten Belle's Copycat killer Crooked Men box Thoughts? Does this seem a pretty good place to be with him? From what I have read this is pretty much his comfort zone, and it is enough points that I could do fairly large games if I wanted. But still I am pretty new, so I would appreciate some feed back from all of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienated one Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 This looks to be a good list. Its mostly what I run when I run with Seamus. Maybe add Bete Noire to the list. She's awesome with any Master that can take her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ageral Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Do you think the extra box of rotten belle's is needed? Do you ever run more than 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Alleycat Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 sometimes its needed,when your opponent gives you a lot of corpse counters to use. Also I would pick up a convict gunslinger for a good ranged threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ageral Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 The convict gunslinger seems to come up a lot for different Masters.. I might need to look at getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Alleycat Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Its a solid ranged model. Its immune to terrifying. it ignores harmless and pitiful. its paired and can fight in melee and at ranged. and its 6 ss. The only faction it isnt really useful for is guild because they have access to alot of equally good or better ranged models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buhallin Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I've never needed another box of Belles. I have the 3, and usually start with 2 to keep one available for raising. Other considerations with Seamus: - His core crew tends not to hit all that hard. Bete, the Gunslinger, or some Punk Zombies can help fill this out. - You don't see it come up often, but he's got some surprisingly good synergies with the Hanged. Trail of Fear makes all the Hanged's Wp-related stuff hit better, and vice versa. If you manage to tag someone with Horrifying ( to Wp duels for the rest of the game) they become pretty much an auto-fail against Undead Psychosis, which can be all kinds of fun. I'll sometimes run him with Canine Remains with this too, for more -Wp hits (Rabies) - The Copycat Killer is fun, but I think the Grave Spirit is actually more useful. Seamus' crew is already pretty tough, and the +2 Armor makes it obscene. For only one stone, he's a great booster. Link him up with a Hanged (or Shikome) and nothing's going to hit for more than 1 damage per swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Alleycat Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Another thing you might do is instead of another box of belles,buy a box of hollow waifs,and paint them up as belles,so you have more variety in appearance. And chances are good you wont ever need more then 5 belles anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ageral Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Excellent, thanks for all of the advice! I made my order and although I have more than I will probably ever field at once I think I ended up with a good selection to try some different things. I'm excited to give him a go, he sounds like a fun/interesting Master, and I love his fluff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you determine your strategy before you pick your crew, having a few spare models to shift things around based on your objective is a good thing.

Aldyhide Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Seamus was my first master. I mean who can say no to zombie hookers? Though I don't run him much as I vastly prefer to play with Zoraida. However, here's my two cents. I generally will start out with two belles, since my third one's arm keeps breaking off and needs to be pinned and I haven't gotten around to it. I never really have to use more than three. But depending upon the objective I guess more are nice to have. I also recently bought some crooked men and am looking forward to trying them out. One model I really, really would suggest playing with is night terrors...when they come out. Not many models have a range hosing ability so that just makes those guys stand out to me. Plus they're 3 SS apiece. And they're significant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shikome isn't an undead model (it's a beast and spirit) so doesn't get any benefit from the grave spirit. Does work very well on the hanged.

Buhallin Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Whoops - somehow I missed that it only gave the bonus to undead models. Thanks for fixing me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
