EnternalVoid Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Personally I like having the option of a second Canine remain, but it is really up to you. I like having the option of double canine remains double Guild Hounds for a lot of bodies on the cheap in case I plan to have them go as two groups. Having two is also pretty nice to make Pack Leader more useful with the ability to spread or condense the Df debuff. You could always look for one of the old Metal blisters for just two if you want.

Patzer Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Looking to jump on #teammarcus and want some advice on what to get first. What I got. Beasts: Silurids, Waldegeists, Spawn Mother, Gupps, Night Terrors x2. Arcanists: Arcane Effigy. After some pondering and looking around I thought that something like the following might be an ok start: Marcus' Box, Blessed of December, Molemen, Malifaux Raptors. Am I missing something, are there any other great Arcanist must haves? (Besides the obvious Cassandra). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katadder Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I always like rogue necro, bit of staying power and 3 heads, plus can stalk someone but the cerberus can make use of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patzer Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 A "deployment+5+12" threat range for its shot, on a ht 3" model, with positives to attack and damage is interesting. Really like the mid damage of 5 too, on its attack. Is it fast enough though, to keep up with Marcus and the gang? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katadder Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 not had problems yet, and you can always alpha it after an 8" walk from marcus if need be. also the stalk can be used for him as much as any other creature with stalk. or when using the emmisary discard a card for another walk action if need be depends on play style I guess but I do like him.

Sybarite Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I like the necro as well. Marcus can debuff something to get that blast out easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patzer Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Speaking of the Emissary, anyone tried it with Marcus? I am starting to be convinced to try the Necro. Seems like a good running mate for Myranda, who can heal it above half wounds as well as make it take more swings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I have tried it once. The push and alpha gives it a crazy threat range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Marcus upgrade change a lot from the final Beta, and do you think it is killy enough for its cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has an aura that blocks enemy Df triggers against the Emissary and Beasts and a (0) push towards a beast. As for the Emissary - I play mostly Guild and I find the Guild one rubbish compared to the Arcanist one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yeah. Handy for master kills and against gremlins. Just got to watch out for gremlin lure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patzer Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I have heard plenty of good things about the Brutal Emissary with Lady J and Hoffman at least. It seems to have a niche role, but I digress. 6 hours ago, Sybarite said: Yeah. Handy for master kills and against gremlins.

Sybarite Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Yeah. Colette, other Marcuses, pretty much every darn gremlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackfraser Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 When using Marcus what are people's main answer to incorporeal? Kirai and dreamer are the only two masters I'm really afraid of with Marcus as I struggle to dent them with a typical Marcus list. Was thinking about maybe adding in an Oxfordian Mage with the upgrade that gives tomes, the triggers are nice for some control with the pushes and slow, and the other 2 are nice for some damage. Obviously it's a ca attack so gets through incorporeal and with alpha and 2 cards it could potentially pull of 6 attacks in one turn. What do people think?

That Incorporeal is equivalent to Armour +1 for the great majority of attacks, so just hit stuff. Though if I wanted Ca attacks I'd go with Silent Ones over Oxfordians, that lack of is sweet.

Sybarite Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Or, you know, the rogue necromancy has a ca ranged attack with a blast, which is pretty sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadaverousbirth Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 In what situation would you see yourself taking a War Pig with Marcus? Or The Sow? Is a pig focused Marcus list viable? And in what situations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker_cky Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 The Sow I could see in a list where you want to spam weak models (#3 summoner after spawn mother and mech rider). War Pig and piglets....you take because you want a pig list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chryspainthemum Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I'm a Neverborn player looking to grab Marcus because I really like the idea of his speed/versatility - he's basically a Neverborn master as far as I can tell! Plus it helps that I already have access to the swampfiend beasts. To start off, I was thinking of grabbing: Marcus Box Blessed of December ??? Keeping in mind that I already have Waldgeists/Silurids, what would be the best two other boxes to purchase (looking to spend a hundred bucks roughly to start)? I'm thinking one of Hoarcats/Canine Remains as cheaper activations, and then maybe a Dawn Serpent or Rogue Necromancy for some range? I'd like very much to play Marcus as a beastmaster, and have literally 0 interest in other Arcanists master, so would prefer to avoid buying a Ramos box or such. Thanks!

decker_cky Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Rogue necromancy would be my next to add to that list, then molemen. BUT I'd play some games with the box set, neverborn models, and blessed before you pick up too much more. You've got plenty to cover most strats/schemes.

Adran Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 The war pig is tough to get right in a marcus list, because you have got to give it space away from the rest of the crew. But it can be fairly hard to kill, and quite damaging, and is only a minion. The sow is probably a cheaper Rogue ncromancy, without the shooting attack. It hits fairly hard for its cost, and the piglets are pretty handy upon its death. I've not tried more than 1 pig at a time, but if you field more than 1 war pig you will need a hog whisperer or a very obliging board to avoid having to charge yourself.

Bahlin Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hi I have a question about the corrupted hounds. When I alpha them with marcus, they will receive because it is not their officielle activation or not ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeryt Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 It clearly states in "Alpha" that it's an Activation, so I'd go with a no. Same goes with Wild Boar's ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMeanDuck Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 So I've had a few games with this crew and done very well. I really like the acolytes drag in models so he beast can pounce on them. Though I'm finding acolytes in my lists lately and they just seen amazingly good.... Basically I've been picking this with kill schemes and/or middle of the table schemes. 50 SS Arcanists Crew Marcus + 4 Pool - The Trail Of The Gods (1) - Feral Instincts (1) - The Hunger Cry (1) Jackalope (2) Myranda (8) - Imbued Energies (1) Blessed of December (9) - Pack Leader (1) Sabretooth Cerberus (9) December Acolyte (7) December Acolyte (7) Malifaux Raptor (3) (exported from CrewFaux) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
