=Thoughts on the {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
It's a beatstick heavy that gives you pathfinder-on-a-stick. It gets cranked up to 11 once it has some corpses, so much so that you'd be justified in calling it "corpse-dependent".
<u>Competitive Viability</u><br>
As of August 2018, Skin & Moans is a very viable, with typically two or three being featured in Dark Menagerie. They pair extremely well with the [[Cage Rager]] & the [[Death Knell]] in theme, able to push through huge damage spikes as it builds up corpses.
===Combos & Synergies===
<u>Warlocks</u>
* [[The Wanderer]] - The Skin & Moans has decent DEF for a heavy, and The Wanderer can really push that further.
* [[The Child]] - The Child is in many ways the perfect caster for Skin & Moans. A fully corpse-fueled Skin & Moans with the The Child can charge for free, P+S 21, Spd 7, all with Pathfinder & the ability to heal up next turn. Coupled with the Sacrifice [[arcana]], and it becomes nigh impossible to recover from an alpha of Skin & Moans charges.
<u>Non-warlocks</u>
* [[Deathknell]] - Best way of getting the corpse tokens to Skin & Moans. The ARM buff a corpse fueled Death Knell provides is small, but critical for a Skin & Moans wihout corpses.
* [[Dread Rots]] - Second best way of getting corpse tokens to your heavies. As [[Weapon Master]]s, Dread Rots aso serve very well as one half of a pincer with Skin & Moans
* [[Crabit]] - The Skin & Moans tends to get shot off the board, but the Crabbit can Shield Guard it quite cheaply.
* [[Cage Rager]] - Provides a lot of defensive utility and space controling effects, both of which are things a Skin & Moans loves. The Cage Rager's animus is also extremely relevant on your harder hitting Skin & Moans into lists which require a lot of Magical Weapons.
* [[Gremlin Swarm]] - Skin & Moans don't have a good way of preventing their opponent from charging. Putting a Gremlin Swarm on one side and a Cage Rager on the other makes it extremely difficult for your opponent to touch your Skin & Moans, as they don't have enough space to place their base and oftern cannot charge the Gremlin Swarm.
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* Doesn't hit hard without corpses. Struggles to pick its own.
* If there's a prize for "Heavy to be shot first", this guy takes it.
* Underwhelming for points if it doesn't have corpses.
* Relies heavily on other models in Grymkin to reach its full potential.
* Decent DEF aside, it has low ARM and HP, especially for a 15 points heavy
===Tricks & Tips===
* The [[Witchwood]] is ideal to pick off flanking models/solos from the enemy's battle line, and pull it close enough to the Skin&Moans for activating Bone Picker. Turning it around will also solve most of the accuracy issues.
* Sacrifice is an amazing Arcana with a group of Grymkin heavies. It becomes extremely difficult for your opponent to efficiently kill your 'beasts when they have to over-commit to killing each heavy in turn.
* Parking a Cage Rager in front and a Gremlin Swarm on the open side within 1 1/2" of a Skin & Moans makes it nigh unchargable.
