 * Obedient Wretch, Outcast Totem (Hamelin the Plagued)**

=__Overview__= The Obedient Wretch is a willing follower of the Tyrant Entity that dwells in Hamelin. As a witness to the power he wields, they have surrendered themselves to him. Hamelin imbues his most devoted follwers with a modicum of his power, transforming them into something more suitable to his needs. The results burn the humanity from the Totem, leaving only a commitment to Hamelin.

The Wretch serves Hamelin as a conduit channeling magic and disease through her body. While only able to contain that essence for so long, they eventually succumb to the plague festering within them. Even in death the Wretch serves Hamelin's purpose calling forth vermin.

On the table, this model is going to die sooner or later. The key to using this model will be making sure that it is at the most opportune time for you.

=__Mobility__= The Wretch has no extra ability to move faster than it's average Wk of 4".

=__Offense__= This model has no ranged attacks and only the //Bash// attack for melee.

If you need to do some damage, it is best to use the //Magical Extension// with //Bleeding Disease// to damage a model that already has Blight Counters on it.

=__Resilience__= There are no abilities on the model to help it survive, however the Malifaux Rat that is summoned when this model dies may deter your opponent from killing the Wretch.

=__Magical Extension__= //Bleeding Disease// - Cast on a 5, this spell will do 1 point of damage to the target model for each Blight Counter on that model.

//Inevitable Truth// - Cast on a 9 Mask, this spell forces the targeted model to attack this model while it is within 12" of the caster. It resists on Wp, so is probably better to use on a Minion.

//Obedience// - Cast on a 8 Mask, and you must also sacrifice a friendly model within 6", it resists on Wp and you can force the target to perform a (1) action or a charge//.//

//Understand the Soulless// - Cast on a 8 Mask and you must also sacrifice a friendly model within 6", it resists on Wp and the target is Insignificant until the end of the Encounter. This is great for preventing your opponent from completing Schemes and Strategies, and also gives Hamelin the Plagued a boost as he can no longer be target by the targeted model. Note that this spell can also target Masters.

=__Tips and Tricks__= //Inevitable Fate:// When this model is killed or sacrificed you summon one Malifaux Rat into base contact with this model before it is removed from play. Since you're probably going to be running a good amount of Malifaux Rats with Hamelin anyway, this is just going to be adding to your swarm. This is just icing on the cake to you when this model dies.

//No Humanity:// A six inch Pulse that goes off when this model is killed or sacrificed, non-soulless models gain -2 Wp until the Start Closing phase. If you activate this model and //Companion// Hamelin, it's going to make his spells easier to pull off. While this and //Inevitable Fate// go off when the models dies or is sacrificed, they are not Triggers, meaning you get both effects.

//(all) Abandon:// This ability makes a target within 6" Insignifcant until the end of the encounter unless you opponent discards two cards. You have to sacrifice this model as part of the cost, so make sure it's an important target like Lord Chompy Bits, and that your opponents hand is empty.

//(1) Blind Dedication:// Allows you to draw a control card, which is very good after the second turn when //The Void// prevents you from drawing a new hand each turn.

=__Playing Against Obedient Wretch__= Watch for this model to hang around objectives in Schemes and Strategies since becoming Insignificant will make it so a model cannot hold an objective. Since it has no defensive abilities to help it, take it out at range and Cheat to 4 damage so it dies right away.
