A Piece For Me + Unkillable Models = Body Part Counter Factory?

[demkoenig]

So, a Nurse makes a Desperate Merc unkillable (Painkillers).

Then McMourning hits the Desperate Merc for everything he's got.

The trigger says, "After damaging defender"

The Merc is "unkillable," but still takes damage; however, he has no wounds left, so he takes no damage.

Therefore, McMourning cannot get more body part counters off of the Desperate Merc when the Desperate Merc runs out of wounds?

Not sure of Official response, but below is my McMourning grow list.

Nurse give reactivate to totem, and usually McTavish (Shrug off, and potentially 3 corpse tokens later)

Totem goes Def Stance, and cast Wracked with Pain on Nurse (+1 BP)

Totem Focuses Wracked with Pain on Nurse (+1BP)

Mortimer makes a Corpse token (+2 BP)

McM Attacks Totem doing weak (+1 BP), Repeat (+1 BP), Takes totems corpse (+2 BP), Optional Fast to Move (-1 BP), Summon Flesh Construct (-5 BP),

A thought on this point in your line up. If you had a 5+ Mask in your hand would not Wracked with Pain be better to cast on the Totem? That gives you Scaplel magic as no matter what the totem flips in defense you can choose to match, thus do 2 wounds, and then you get your melee attack for free and can kill it with that. This gives you your 2 BP from attacks, still gives you the corpse, and saves you one AP for movement. That way you might not need to get Fast if you only need that 5" move but if you want it can give you that extra 5" to move further down the field. If you plan to summon the Flesh Construct on that turn it also gives you more range to place it.
