Interested in McM

[Brian_conatser]

Hi, I've been lurking the forums for a while and finally decided to post something. My step-son and I have been looking at different miniature games to start as some sort of father/son time activity. Malifaux seemed like the easiest/least expensive start up option. Sadly we dont have a FLGS or any established miniature club of any sort in the area to look at or hear about rules/tactics.

I'm interested in the resurrectionist faction, more specifically McMourning. I was wondering what purchases I should make and what options from the faction make McM fairly competitive.

These suggestions dont have to just be current models. It's probably going to be a few months before I'm able to get the money for them.

Thanks for your time,
Brian

Number one, don't bother with the box. One nurse is all you will ever need.
Most people are running him with 1 Nurse and a handfull of dogs then whatever you want to fill in for beaters and models you plan to do more than just send out as rockets (Nurse+Dogs=SUPER CHEAP ROCKETS!!)

His totem, the Chihuahua is rather useful for body parts, you can make a 7 pt Flesh Golem out of a 1 pt Chihuahua and a 2 pt Flesh Hound turn 1.

I will almost always include 1 Rotten Belle in my lists. 8 Wounds, decent in melee, but most of all can Lure models from 15" away to drag them into your charge range (great with your speedy dogs).

On top of this, always consider Punk Zombies. Amazingly accurate with paired katanas and a CB 7 and they also hit rather hard too.

From here, I havn't journeyed too far into unreleased models. Hope this helps!

Okay, it looks like I should just pick up the box anyway. It looks like nurses come in a 2 pack anyway.

Thanks for the info so far.

Ive just got the box and had fun with it; Ive had great success nusing a nurse to power up the construct (or even Sebastian at one point) to become mincing machines; they took Perdita down in 1 turn. I did proxy 2 punks last week but they did very little.
