wrabbit37 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Seamus, Avatar of Dread His Defense drops (if it can be believed) though his wounds remain the same. He loses Hard to Wound bit keeps Hard to Kill. He gains Regeneration 2, and his Terrifying now affects all enemy models that don’t have Anathema themselves, regardless of whether they can be terrified normally (even Constructs run from him!). Whenever something around him fails a morale duel, he heals. When he’s in melee, he’s got Armor +2. He’s Wicked and his Mark gives all models in his army Terrifying +1, or Terrifying 12 if they’re not already Terrifying. He’s still fast. He has huge fists that ignore armor and hit hard! He can also chuck corpses around, though he needs corpse tokens to do so. He has two triggers on his fists, one that triggers a morale duel on the defender and another that triggers a DF duel on the defender – fail and be paralyzed, pass and just be slowed. The Corpse has a trigger that creates a morale duel too. He can continually permanently increase his Terrifying at the cost of his own Willpower. He has a (1) action that makes all models within 4” of him perform WP->13 morale duels. And he has another (1) action that gives all enemies within 10” of him -2 WP. He has a few spells – a (0) that increases his combat prowess (but requires a Ram), and then a (1) that paralyzes target model (8 Crow required) and another that gives him a healing flip with a Ram. His manifest requirements are that he successfully cast Face of Death twice, and that he use Slit Jugular against an enemy model that he charged using No Escape.

edonil Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Woah...not what I was expecting at all. I like it a lot, though, makes me glad I've picked Seamus for my partner to Kirai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Slit jugular through No Escape...that'll be tricky. Although - Woo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talishko Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Blooming awesome, exactly what a monster should be like! Throwing corpses around, bashing constructs to scraps and making everything run away. Love it, thanks for sharing! Can't wait to play him more.

wrabbit37 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yeah, not a Resser player at all myself, but this guy does look like a bundle of fun to play. All melee beatstick, and all terrifying morale duels. He's gonna be a rough opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talishko Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I've been playing Seamus from the very beginning and this will be his (my) perfect 2nd year anniversary present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nilus Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Slit jugular through No Escape...that'll be tricky. I don't know if its been cleared up yet but you don't need to do all the manifest requirements to bring out the Avatar. They help to bring them our quicker but they are all not required.

They help to bring them our quicker but they are all not required. Yeah it has, but that one is practically impossible to get through if your opponent doesn't want a hulk in their face. Comparing to Sonnias "Deal 10 wounds", this one seems a bunch harder. Time will tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talishko Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yh but comparing to Sonnia's this avatar will rip you in two and throw you across the street, knocking down walls and making the earth shake. (Oh dear I am getting over excited, ain't I?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nilus Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yh but comparing to Sonnia's this avatar will rip you in two and throw you across the street, knocking down walls and making the earth shake. Actually that part of it. Part of the way Avatars were balanced was based on there manifest requirements. Hard requirements, stronger Avatar. In theory at least.

Teal Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I'm loving this. It looks like normal Seamus is perfect to start the game with, giving me an early advantage through ranged prowess, summoning, and control abilities. Then when I want to really wade into melee, I can hulk out and begin terrifying the enemy to pieces. Absolutely perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naahz Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Is his Wk/Cg higher in inches? Is he able to bat around models or just walk over/through them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienated one Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I could see having Avatar Seamus out on round 3 pretty easily. round 1, cast face of death, do 2 actions. round2, do face of death do 2 actions. Round 3, move into a good spot, manifest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Well, also with Seamus' classic minion choice, the Rotten Belle, being along, Avatar Seamus becomes even more scary. Group of Belles clustered around Seamus, Seamus goes Avatar and the Belles begin pulling you to Seamus. Oh, and that group of undead Hookers... they're all Terrifying now. So if you survive Seamus' attack you're gonna have to make a good number of terror tests as soon as you activate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandu Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Anything that counters the "Ignore /Immune WP duels" out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelious1424 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 That's awesome!! Happy that his Master Scheme has nothing to do with his manifestation requirements, cause that's a bitch sometimes. Cast face of Death Twice...really...really...really =D!!! Do you have to kill someone with Slut Jug, or is it just get the trigger off and have them discard cards/ss to meet the requirement? Thanks for the post!!

Hatchethead Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 :jawdrop Between his alt, his avatar and now these details, Seamus has gone from being my least favorite Resurrectionist master by a country mile to tied for first with Doug. Lovin' it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaff Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 You can always lure after casting No Escape and have a high crow and a SS to get it off. As long as they don't actually have to die, it sound simple. If they do..... uh, burn their hand with Convict Gunslinger/Bete first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calmdown Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Wow, his requirement no.2 is pretty hard. Compared to the other Avatars that's kind of ridiculous, in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I don't think you have to kill someone. Just get the trigger. And even so, seeing how easy his first requirement is, I'm not complaining. I usually don't bother abusing No Escape much, but this gives me a good reason to start doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but you do have to hit and damage with a CB 5 attack and also hit a crow. In addition to which, you will only ever be able to avatar the turn after this happens, since you have to have already activated and cast No Escape to hit the trigger. Not super hard, but way harder than the other guys. Although as you say, his first one is kind easy, but will eat valuable AP on casting his worst spell nontheless.

wrabbit37 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 It only needs to use the Slit Jugular trigger, not actually kill anyone with it. And someone else pointed out how easy it is to get No Escape using your Belle's Lure. The turn you decide to go for that manfiestation requirement, you should get it if you've got the crow in hand. Don't go for something huge and use a soulstone to make sure you hit. It sounds like a complicated one, but it's not all that hard if you put some effort into it.

emissary Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 You don't even have to do it. Just cast Face of Death twice and you can transform. It will cost you more AP but doable if you want to hulk out asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
