Necromorph Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Continuing right allong with my Avatar Summaries...here's the Ressers. Kirai, Avatar of Vengeance Focus- Melee/Movement Shenanigans Rundown- So, in addition to basically being Ikiryo on speed, she has a few other surprises. Being the avatar of vengeance, she has several abilities that punish enemies for hurting her and her spirits. She also has a variety of spells and abilites that push and switch models but not the same mechanics as her Master form. She also has many ways of stripping enemies of their defenses and she can even cause enemies to lose Terrifying...she also has Terror 13 herself. Though she only has Instictual, she warps to any friendly spirit that dies, and attacks their killer...pretty damn awesome, and makes up for her not having Melee expert or flurry quite nicely. McMourning, Avatar of Athanasia Focus- Melee Debuffing/Face Smashing Rundown- So, Doug and his friend Simulacrum 29 (the big golem from the GC release thread) can really dish out the nastiness. Mcm himself isn't quite as much of a beast though. He's much more survivable with +flips to all resists, and his weapons are paired, but no longer ignore armor and h2w...but 29's attacks do. With abilities like Rancid Transplant and his ability to heal more with bodypart counters, he's more of the support role in the pair, keeping 29 up and making sure he hits like a truck. 29 himself is pretty much what you'd expect...a big wall of flesh that likes to smash things. He gets buffs while near Mcm, and with a couple nasty triggers (really nasty if combined with Rancid Transplant) this big boy can hit for anywhere between 4-14 dg in a single hit...ouchies. Nicodem, Avatar of Decay Focus- Mindless Zombies...yeah that's pretty much it. Rundown- Nico's Avatar is to MZ's what Hamelin is to Rats. He can make the things by the bucketload, and he causes them to lose Neutral, Mindless, and Walking Dead. They come into play whenever a corpse counter hits the table, or he can take a 0 to flip and generate a random number of them. He can buff them, or sac them to prevent attacks or to make hordes of punk zombies. He retains (1)Decay and (1) Rigor Mortis. Shamus, Avatar of Dread Focus- Melee/Morale Duels Rundown- So...he's the hulk apparently. His melee damage is pretty disgusting, and buffed he can hit at 4" Cb7 Paired and Ignoring armor with an impressive dg spread...but that's not even the best part. He is Terror 13, which can be boosted to 15, he gives all friendly models terror 12, and can strip any immunities to morale duels. Sh!t is going to be running...a lot. He's a fairly simple Avatar, and he's really just about hitting stuff hard and making everything else run screaming like little girls. He can also Paralyze and heal flip as spells...has hard to kill, regen, and even +2 armor when in melee...he is...a beast. Manifest Requirements Kirai 1-Ikiryo kills 2 enemy models. 2-Kirai gains spirit on two separate turns. McMourning 1-Get 5 Body Parts from enemies. 2-Kill a model affected by Rancid Transplant. Nicodem 1-Kill two enemies with Decay. 2-Summon 3 Mindless Zombies with Arise. Seamus 1-Cast Face of Death in two different activations. 2-Use Slit Jugular in the same turn that he charged that model after having used No Escape.

edonil Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I am so looking forward to getting Kirai now...I'm loving the concepts I've seen so far for all the Avatars. Based on the Avatars, I'm probably still going to stick with Kirai and Seamus for my Resser Masters, but at least there's a lot to love with the two of them.

DireTrollJake Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Kirai is sooooo $$$$$$$$in cool. Seamus throws bodys. Man, if my only local wasn't res, I'd be on them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchethead Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I wonder if now we'll see a blister or two of new mindless zombies to fill out Nico's horde ...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Great job, Necromorph. Makes waiting for the book a _little_ bit less awful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanhead Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 One of the biggest changes to McM in avatar form in the lack of organ donor - so yes, he's a little harder to hit and kills even quicker but he has much fewer ways to heal back up. Having said that the Simulacrum 29 just keeps coming back provided McM has sufficient body parts, and he should do given how hard he cuts thing up.

This is true, but his efforts seem to support 29...he's the support/buff/healer/secondary dg dealer, and 29 just pounds face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lheugast Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I can't call english my mother tongue but Athanasia are flowers...aren't they? Strangr choosing of words, when there is "immortality" ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Anaesthesia is knockout drugs, surgical ones. Euthanasia is entirely different (being assisted death). And yes, Athanasia is a family of flowers. Something tells me spelling could be fairly important here...:paralyzedpuppet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I was thinking that it could've just been a mistype of Avatar of Anaesthesia... EDIT: Beaten by Mako... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obeisance Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 So what's the deal with Avatar forms? Do they cost stones or what? I know they enter the field by meeting requirements.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emissary Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 each avatar costs 2 ss to have available in a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q'iq'el Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 My vote goes for euthanasia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/athanasia From the greek a- (against), thanatos (death). The quality of being deathless, immortal. I'd say Athanasia is a rather appropriate, if somewhat archaic word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromorph Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Added Manifest Requirements to the main thread, cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emissary Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 One slight correction. Kirai only has to have the spirit keyword in 2 different turns, not gain it in 2 different turns. IE, if she gains spirit till the end of the game, it will complete the manifest requirement on the 2nd turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizzle Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Thanks for giving me something to read during class now i can steal book 3 from you later and focus more on the new lovely minions muwhahaha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromorph Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 True, I mean, that's how you do it, I was just going off the book which reads "Kirai Ankoku has the Spirit Characteristic during two different turns." Was trying to paraphrase so they didn't sue me for copyright infringement or something, hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobek Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Something that I'm slightly confused about when it comes to Nicodem's ability to make MZs from corpse tokens that hit the table within 6" (I forget if this is the exact distance) of him. What about corpse tokens that are already on the table before he goes Avatar? And what happens to corpse tokens that are on the table, but outside that 6"? Can he turn them into MZs if he moves within 6" of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can he turn them into MZs if he moves within 6" of them? If it wasn't so, the ability would be hardly worth of an Avatar. I suspect it is an Aura. Normal Nicodem, after all, can cast his (0) Arise and achieve exactly the same. The only way this ability can be boosted is to make it a permanent aura which doesn't cost actions to use.

Sobek Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Unfortunately, it doesn't say that it works like that. Only that it automatically happens when corpse counters are placed on the table near him. Theoretically, by how it's worded, if someone picks up a counter, then drops it, it would turn into a MZ just fine. Not any other way, however.
