M2E+Stuffed+Piglet


 * Stuffed Piglet, Gremlin Peon**

// MY CANDLE burns at both ends; // // It will not last the night; // // But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends-- // // It gives a lovely light! // // -- Edna St. Vincent Millay, "My First Fig" // __ **Overview** __ Stuffed Piglets are what happens when you take a regular Piglet and cram explosives into every body cavity. They don't last long but they cause a lot of damage before they go away.

They don't ** Stampede ** like most Malifaux pigs, but they can explode dangerously, and they make very nasty ammunition for Pigapults.

They have the **Stuffed With Explosives** ability that can make them a pain against Sh based models. It works like this: when this model is killed or sacrificed, all models within 3" gain the Concussion Condition until the end of the Turn. "**Concussion**: This model suffers -1 Sh and may not cheat damage flips caused by its Sh Actions". Unfortunately, this also affects Pigapults that shoot with the Stuffed Piglets.

= __Mobility__ = Stuffed Piglets are decently fast. They have a ** Wk/Cg ** of 5/6.

They can gain ** Flight ** from a Gremlin Taxidermist using Never Happen, which makes it easier for them to get to their target.

= __Offense__ = Stuffed Piglets die and they die fast. When they do, they make a big boom and hopefully kill enemies nearby. Their most likely action is ** Bacon Bomb! **, which causes between 1 and 4 Wd in a pulse of radius between 1" and 4". This is a random flip that you can't cheat or control

They also have a melee attack, ** Ram **. It's so-so, with a Ml 4, a damage flip of 1/2/3, and a ** Too Hard ** trigger that requires one Crow and does 1 damage to the pig.

Stuffed Piglets also make very dangerous ammunition for Pigapults, with a range of 24" (ignoring LoS adn cover), a Sh 5, and Dg of ** 3(Blast)/5(Blast)(Blast)/7(Blast)(Blast)(Blast) ** . This is one of the most brutal damage spreads in the game, but requires a combination of a lot of models working together. And it kills the pig.

It Goes Pop! allows the Stuffed Piglet to take the Bacon Bomb action whenever it is killed or sacrificed. Note that this a may action so if one is killed by your own crew they can just die without exploding.

= __Resilience__ = Don't bother buying your Stuffed Piglet a college fund, because they're going to die quickly. You want to keep your pigs alive? Don't stuff them with explosives.

Stuffed Piglets have a Df of 4 and 4 Wd. They're very killable. Your best solution for survival is to hide until you get close to your opponent. That won't keep the Stuffed Piglet alive, but you can laugh when it blows up in your enemy's face.

= __Tips and Tricks__ = Keep Stuffed Piglets away from your own crew and close to your enemies. If they die, make more. You don't need your Stuffed Piglet to live, you just need it to live long enough to take some enemies along with it when it dies.

Stuffed Piglets have a few basic uses:
 * 1) Ammo for a Pigapult
 * 2) Suicide bombers to rush up and kill an enemy.
 * 3) Tie up enemy snipers, and debuff their shooting on death.

= __Crew-Specific Tips__ = Stuffed Piglets are most often found with Som'er Teeth Jones. Some'r Teeth actually helps you make more Stuffed Piglets, too; he often leaves some dead Bayou Gremlins around him while going through his cycle of making more minions. The Taxidermist can use those Corpse Counters to make more Stuffed Piglets.

Wong can use them in conjunction with the Pigapult for a magical Killjoy delivery system.

Sammy Lacroix can summon Stuffed Piglets with her **Putrefy** ability. This discards an enemy scheme marker and summons a Stuffed Piglet in base contact. Stuffed Piglets make incredibly dangerous ammunition when used in conjunction with a Pigapult.

= __Playing Against Stuffed Piglet__ = Try to shoot them to death before they reach your models, **Obey** or similar effects can also be used to make Stuffed Piglets explode, dealing damage to your opponent and sacrificing one of their models. If they manage to get into engagement range, their **Ml** is only 4, so it is quite easy to disengage to ensure that you don't suffer the damage when they explode.

If your opponent is summoning Stuffed Piglets with a Taxidermist or Sammy LaCroix, try to kill them to shut down production.
