SpiralngCadavr Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 So, I just got my decks, and McMourning has seen a lot of changes (since 1.5, that is, have't paid attention to the beta), which have altered how he plays, which is also something I'm fine with, since it largely got rid of some cheese. I don't particularly understand how he runs any more, other than replacing the body part mechanics with poison, but I feel like I've got a decent enough grasp of Resser models to do decently with him after the transition. However, he's also now a Guild master, and my wife plays guild, so I have a decent selection, but absolutely no idea where to even begin with his interactions with Guild pieces... thoughts on some first models to consider? Thanks in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entropolous Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 1. Give Dr Doug the Plastic Surgery upgrade 2. Hire The Judge ... Profit (Run McMourning up to something you want dead. Plastic surgery makes everything withing 3" count as undead. Judge's bound by law does 2/4/8 against undead targets) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 wow, didn't see that one! Yep, that looks like a good starting point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Albrecht Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Back in the early days of Malifaux, I dipped a toe into Ressers with Nicodem. McMourning as Guild is just something I can't like enough. It's going to be fun making Guild versions of the Nurse and Sebastian, and seeing how the doctor gets along with various Guild staples. I just hope he pairs well with some of the Ortegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I like him more as a Guild master than a resser now. With his On the Clock upgrade he gains a lot of utility, handing out precise to guild heavy hitters is nice (and can even hand it out to Austringers too for some long ranged hitting power.

entropolous Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Being able to bring Nurses into the fold is also nice. Their Uppers trigger on Take Your Meds gives the guild a boost to their movement capabilities. The Hallucinogens is also just lovely on an executioner (6/7/8 damage after the crit trigger, with a possibility of 7/8/9? Yes, please!)

SpiralngCadavr Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yeah, On the Clock looks generally really solid. Just checking since I'm new to the new edition, Sebastian would now count as a Guild Henchman and get access to their upgrades instead of resser upgrades and his specific ones? Also, very happy that McM's thoroughly encouraged to take Nurses and Sebastian this time around/generally that he gets to play lawman...

Jonas Albrecht Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yeah, you only draw upgrades from your declared faction's pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entropolous Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Correct, the available upgrades are based on your declared faction, not the faction of a given model. The same is also true for upgrades assigned to mercenaries included in a crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EntrepeNinja Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) My faves are McMo with Executioner- Injection gives him some early game mobility with a small wnd sacrifice. I also love nurses with Witchling Stalkers. Nurse heals an enforcer to full, and gives him paralyze. The witchling stalker drops dispel on him to end the paralyze condition. (and all you need is a 3:tomes, and a :crows of any value. Eninja Edit: And that undead aura + judge is just grooossss. Edited August 30, 2013 by EntrepeNinja and...

Tionas Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I can close my other thread that I started because somehow, I didn't see this one. Man, this look fantastic. I wonder if the Lone Marshal would be good with him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
