Kirai and friends go to Adepticon...

[Saint Norton]

So with the painting nearing completion on the Kirai and friends crew I'm looking to take them to Adepticon instead of my Neverborn as I had originally planned. The guys at Adepticon were very helpful in allowing me to switch factions this late in the game.

So the question at this point is what else should I paint up to bring with Kirai? If nothing else I'm thinking perhaps a 2nd Resurrectionist master to deal with the Shared Distract mission. I've got some random thoughts below on various models.

If at all possible I'd like to keep new model purchases to under $50-60 unless there is a really good reason to go past this.

The Drowned - For Line in the sand or possibly Deliver a Msg, their ability to push with their 0 action and that they can't be pushed in return allowing them to camp objective points. Kirai being able to swirl them around the board helping to make up for their otherwise slow speeds.

McMourning - As an alternate master to play in the Shared Distract mission, I think having a master that can potentially kill the opposing master in HTH might be needed to help secure those extra points. He looks like he can still play well with the models I have for my crew already and he doesn't "need" to play the summoning route. With his large initial cache he might pair well with VonSchill? So a pair of fast beaters running around the board?

Dead Rider - The obvious play of having the lost love make him a spirit and then Kirai shenanigans to move him around the board.

Grave Spirit - Alternate totem for play with mcmourning and/or to combo with Dead Rider.

VonSchill - Everyone's favorite merc. Another high damage output model with great speed tricks. Goes well with all 3 missions to be played.

1-2 Insidious Madness - Just sort of on principle to combo with kirai and her crews anti-WP combat options. Also the raw speed of these models lets kirai worry about swirling other important models and let these guys walk off on their own.

Your other Master for Shared Contain Po... I mean Shared Distract is Shikome, ideally two of them.

Grave spirit is 1ss for a spirit model to be sacrificed, great if you're taking Von Schill. Also consider the Librarian.

I wouldn't just "tag" McMourning along, because you also need 2 Flesh Constructs and a Rogue Necromancy to cover his summoning. Chihuahua + VS + DR + CR + 3 Drowned is a nice McMourning all-comers, though. In other words, it gets expensive quickly.

For Shared Line in the Sand you basically -need- Night Terrors unless you are Seamus. If you're on the defense it's one of those few cases I could actually see bringing more than 3.
