Nurse, hand me my scalpel, STAT!

Sacrificing models in a Resser crew is usually a really bad idea since it will result in losing the Corpse Counters (or in this case Body Part Counters that could be left when a model dies) that could be used by the crew. Page 19 of the New 1.5 book or Page 13 of the Rules Manual are the relevant references.

This is one of the main reasons the Nurse are universally shunned.

Ausplosions is right its not a good idea to spend that many turns hacking up dogs. Yes you may get a good number of body parts but your sacrificing precious time to get into decent positions for your strategies and scemes. McMourning is a beast in and of himself. Get him in the fray for a turn then get him out with a belle or something.

That being said...I still see a lot of people kill the zombie chihuahua and a canine remains on turn 1 to get up the board farther as well as a huge jump on body parts early. Typically though, people will only spend the first turn doing this and expect to get them a rogue necromancy when they want it early or saving them for getting McMourning ready for manifesting.

Dogs are useful for more than just chopping up, they provide cheap activations, are easy to hide behind terrain, pretty quick, can be used to help get McMourning up the field with Scalpel Slinging.

I guess what I am saying is that they are a versitile cheap minion that shouldnt be looked as being there just for body parts. I will often start everyone in position for a firrst turn RN summon but it will depend on cards as to whether or not I actually do it or not or wait until later in the game where I can shove the RN down my opponents throat

That's true they are pretty darn useful I love tying people up in a couple of those

Also, consider figuring out how to load McMorning with enough BP first turn for a RN, but don't summon it immediately. I find it best to often consider Monstrous Creation as a really effective paralyze as opposed to something that is going to kill lots of stuff.

Move up field and attack something, then drop a rogue necromancy on top of them. Chances are they are going to burn 1-2 full model's activation killing it before it kills them. That comes out to an even to better use of paralyze, with the added bonus of that if they don't kill it, it will hurt them badly.
