ooshawn Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 So i'm thinking about playing A lot of henchmen led crews for awhile. Starting with molly this week. At 35 points, For a few games I wanna try this crew out Molly w/ totem 1x dead doxy 2x rotten belles rogue necromancy Yin, the Penagaladygagaan. I'm thinking its strengths include potential to snipe models fairly effectively with the necromancy and yin following up a lot of lures. Maybe getting off schemes were certain models have to die. Other than that I'm having some trouble figuring out what strengths this crew plays to..... I probably shouldn't be outright engaging the enemy crew with these type of list.

011121 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Molly and Lucius are probably the weakest henchmen and least capable to run as masters. Collodi, Schilly, Kaeris, and Ophelia are all capable though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooshawn Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I assumed molly was the weakest as well. It's just that I want to play her for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I like the idea and I really like Molly and want her to work, but you will have an uphill battle. The main thing I would recommend is trying to fit in a couple of crooligans. You could use some objective grabbers of some kind. Not sure about hiring the Necromany, but her choices are pretty limited, so I understand. Let us know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooshawn Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 i'll have to get a blister of crooligans. Possibly post a battle report this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 That's why I just settled on crew boxes before (metals, as we don't have the option for singles with plastics). Even if I didn't plan on using all of the models then, I figured I'd end up using them eventually, and they cost less in the long run than buying the models separately.

ooshawn Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 i can't begin to tell you how much money It would have saved me to have bought the starters for rezzers, arcanist, and neverborn. I feel like crooligans should have been faster, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepfan Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'll actually say that the Rouge Necromancy can work with Molly quite well when you add in Imbue Vigour/Terrible Secret. I've always had a problem with what you do when it dies though. Yin might be the answer that Sybelle has failed to be. In the end a lot of my games with Molly end up being trying to complete strategies/schemes that involve counter manipulation and not killing do to that very real limitation. I do think that's proven to be her only weakness as a master IMHO, though it is a fairly large one. I'm actually working on a big tactica for Molly on my blog, but I want to try out Yin first. I'll echo the Crooligan recommendation, the more I've used them the more I've found them to be amazing models. I've even started taking them with McMourning and Seamus without Molly. They have strengths that make me prefer them over the faster Night Terrors for Objective grabbing(namely I've found them very durable and capable of combat though no where near excelling).

Pierowmaniac Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Im a bit lost on why you want to run the same list for more than one game, when your strategy would more than likely be different? For starters the Rogue Necromancy is very Strategy dependant and costing 10ss takes a fair chunk out of your SS budget, which is just a waste of SS in quite a few strategies, whilst Sybelle or even a couple of Dead Doxies would be much more suitable for speed related strategies (destroy the evidence for example). Your right that Lures followed by a Yin/Rogue Necromancy attack will be devastating to the poor soul who gets lured, especially if you also throw in a 'terrible secret' to the mix. If there is any strength then its probably, very suit (masks) reliant speed. Edited April 24, 2013 by Pierowmaniac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooshawn Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 typically, I like to get in a few games with the same list to see what all it can do. Plus I wanted to have the rogue in the game since, it's the same list all weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadaka Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Bah Lucius is very good master. Just make sure you hire lady justice to toss in peoples faces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilbleachman Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 We will have new henchmen too, though. I cannot wait until I get a Candy crew running (if she is appointed Henchman). Also a fun Henchman would be Rusty Alyce or Cassandra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
