HiveCommander Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hey Guildies, Arcanist spy totally new and not-suspicious player here Looking for some hints and list-building considerations for Guild-side Lucius since it seems a bit more interesting than taking him as a Neverborn master. What models are good with him, how should I look at expanding past the crew box and is roping in a couple of Mimics from NB worthwhile?

admiralvorkraft Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 When I run Guild Lucius I run him without any out of faction models. Until Wave 3 drops there aren't any Minion Mimics and by the time I've taken Surprisingly Loyal and Mr. Graves (say) I'd be better off just taking a Peacekeeper or something. As for expanding on the box set I would say get Riflemen, an Austringer (don't run two if you like your friends), and either Treasure Hunters (for Sidir/Wastrels) or The Guild's Judgment (for the Judge and Death Marchalls). And then, you know, the Hoffman box, and the rest of the faction. Because Malifaux. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirial Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Witchling Stalkers are as good as with any other Guild Master. Riflemen and Pathfinder are the go-to additions. If you consider Mimics, Doppelganger and Graves are great in Guild. Beckoners make a good fit, but they aren't cheap and you should have a game plan on how to use them.

admiralvorkraft Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I've heard good things about Candy but have never convinced myself to run with her. Tannen can be nasty if you can keep him alive - Chatty and Guild Intelligence can give you mean scheme control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thstringer Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I have a lot of fun with mimics in guild. Doppelganger, tannen, graves, beckoners all have a part for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiveCommander Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Awesome, thanks for the ideas! I'll have to get some paint on the models first and maybe get a few games in. The hard part will be finding The Guild's Judgement, I haven't seen one in stock since I started playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zFiend Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 It should restock soon, so just a little more patience. Or maybe swap factions? As clearly even Wyrd doesn't like Guild them being out of stock and all that.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you still very well could look into the mirror, it's just shame that looks back at you. You'll learn to live with it though. Soo.. Rezzers maybe?

PraetorDragoon Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 My friend has booked great results with Hunters and Wardens. As minions they can be commanded, and have nice benefits from Lucius' auras. Wardens also have the benefit of being Guild Guards. You just have no soul! Complimenting zFiend already?

SpiralngCadavr Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 On Guild Lucius and mimics, I'd say Tannen probably offers the most that Guild doesn't kind of have access to, until Changelings are on the table. You can run some pretty obnoxiously defensive mimic lists with Useless Duplications and all the Manipulative thrown about in either faction, but the big limitation on its effectiveness is the (current) lack of minion mimics except the expensive beckoners. I've only had a very small amount of experience with Changelings, but expect that once they hit the table, a pure mimic lucius list will be quite viable, if still a little pillow-fisted.

NoHero Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Or maybe swap factions? As clearly even Wyrd doesn't like Guild them being out of stock and all that..

admiralvorkraft Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Back OT; one trap I frequently end up falling into with Lucius is that I establish a defensive posture and then lack good tools to engage the enemy if they decide they just want to, say, run a Carrion Emissary into a corner and churn out ALitS while the rest of their crew establishes Protect Territory and matches me on Reconnoiter points without ever crossing the center line... The Hoffman box is high on my buy list for the Watcher and Hunters because schemes are important and Guardsmen are SLOW. A Guild Sergeant could also help.
