Darwin_green Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hey there,I just got my Nicodemus crew in the mail and was wondering what kind of models should I start out with for summoning. I'm completely new, and I'll be trying to teach myself and a few friends in my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Basically you summon whatever you need to do for that turn. For example you have a guy with big wounds that heals that you need to shift from the centre of the board you summon a Hanged (because they do an attack that halves the targets wounds and stops them from healing). If you need to move the enemies models around bring out a rotten belle for lures/slows, If you have breakthrough or protect territory or line in the sand summon a necropunk (bear in mind you cant interact the turn you're summoned). If you need to clog up a zone (turf war etc) summon a flesh construct. They can tank quiet well with 13 wds (if you heal them to full) and starting with 5 poison which heals when it dmgs them. Also if you have a lot of scheme markers going down or are fighting in a cramped place, crooked men are a great summon. The shafted combined with belles is great as you lure the models onto your scheme markers. So basically theres no one great summon its all situational also depends on the crows or high cards you have in your hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin_green Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 so, in that case, what's a good all-rounder so I can keep my spending to a minimum? I was getting a vibe the mindless zombies or zombie dogs sounded like a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireuser Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hello. Just wanted to note that Nicodem cannot summon mindless zombies without the maniacal laugh upgrade. Rotten Belles are a solid all around model. They can take a little punishment, reposition your models or your opponent's models, and slow the enemy as well. Punk Zombies are also good too summon as they can be quite sturdy and also pack a bit of a punch. Hope you enjoy your games. Edited for spelling.

entropolous Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Canine remains or necropunks would be good objective grabbers. Crooligans too if you are willing to grab some wave 2 models. Crooked men can provide some ranged support and scheme marker protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwin_green Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 so quick question, if I try to summon a punk zombie, and the TN is 10+7XX(crow symbols). so how do I trigger the two Crow symbols with a single flip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boshea Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 so quick question, if I try to summon a punk zombie, and the TN is 10+7XX(crow symbols). so how do I trigger the two Crow symbols with a single flip? Don't have rules in front of me, but fairly certain he has a crow built into his cast. Otherwise you can burn a stone to add the crow.

Darwin_green Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 okay, so if it says caX, it means I already count as getting a crow symbol? okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 okay, so if it says caX, it means I already count as getting a crow symbol? okay. Correct, his Ca is 6:crows, so he adds six and a crow to every casting flip he makes, in addition to the value and suit on the flipped/cheated card. Masters and Henchmen can also spend a Soulstone to add a suit to a duel before they flip any cards, which is helpful if you have a high non-crow card in your hand that you'd like to use to summon an undead. Rotten Belles, Necropunks, and Punk Zombies are all very good standard models for Nicodem to summon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spifferson Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I'd pick up the pack of rotten belles. They pair well with the punk zombies, luring in victims and giving out slow to prevent a charge. Often times it is better to start with them hired and summon in replacements as needed but that is true of many of the rezzer minions.

Darwin_green Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 so, I got the crew box, so I got 3 punks, mort and Nico. So, for a 25pt crew, I have 2 punks and mort. Any suggestions for the last 2 points, I can see how the soul stones would be handy, but unless I give Mort bloat or get lucky with finding bones I'm not going to see a lot of corpse tokens.

Mxbedlam Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 I don't take nico without a belle escort anymore and if I'm doing any schemes that involve board running I love necropunks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
