Iron Skies

Not seen Jake for a while. Think we scared him off?

Hi Andy, any updates on the rulespack? Also had a good Christmas?

Ahh Cardiff, it is indeed a trek. To reach this mythical land of hobbits you must strike south past the Steel City, past the nefarious den of thieves known only as the Eye of the Storm. Then avoid being turned to stone in Birmingham, the ugly city. Next the white bridge awaits, one must be careful to pay the trolls on the far banks to gain access to the fabled Land of Dragons, where men are drawn inexplicably into the the embrace of the vomiting maidens outside it's many taverns.

You forgot summoning Cthulhu when reading a roadsign

Definately want to be involved in the call

I'll come for moral support / insults

Also to plug it out looking for a game at about 4pm GMT today

Had a game last night, lots of fun. Bit paranoid about giving out Skype details so if anyone wants a game PM me and we can arrange.

GMT for me

Work have given me it off

Payment sent too

*Blows dust off thread*

Wow, been a really long time since I've posted here. No real developments except for experimentation with crew composition.

I have decided to play around with Perdita for a while and let James have his fun with Hoffman. Currently my usual Perdita selection consists of the below.

Perdita

Guild Hound 3

Guild Hound 3

Watcher 3

Warden 5

The Judge 7

Lucius 10

Leaves 'Dita with 7 stones to play with and The Judge can be swapped out for any minion (Or pair of minions - Witchlings) as needed.

Hoping work will give me this off, put the request in

Started Guild, went to the dark side for about 8 months then came back to the glory of the Guild.

Definately interested in this!

Just realise I didn't clarify. Meant me playing devils advocate. So you would still play Hoff himself the same way (Deathstar style) and use his crew for shooting/objectives?

Playing devils advocate here Jonas. Would you still take a guardian with that crew or use it more as a support piece for the rest of the crew? IE Melee and spell (Open Circuit) damage if the opportunity arises

Definately interested, will have to confirm later though

Unfortunately Hoffman plays like the centre of a machine. The current accepted way is to play the 'Hoffstar' with at least a Peacekeeper and Guardian (16 stones) and possible a totem (attendant or toolkit. Pushing it up to 19/20 stones)

In a usual 35 stone game this gives you around 15 stones to play with. So it's natural to go towards more constructs to keep the Hoffstar going.

One way I experimented with was using three witchlings and a watcher as objective grabbers for a while. Though they couldn't really compete with the Hoffstar...

Bit more info on the tourney would be good. IE is it fixed games etc. Also your crew is mainly going to be in two groups. The riflemen with the drill sergeant at the back with the Wastrels and McCabe going for objectives

Can't wait to see it!

This is from the book. Simulacrum 29 is not an avatar so does not count as a master. Therefore could be obeyed

Welcome to the world of Hoffman. In my opinion the most rewarding Guild master out there

Funds sent!

Probably missed it, anywhere to send the entry fee over?

Psst Craig, podcast material this dude

*Cough* Death Marsupials *Cough*

Been a long time since I've posted on this thread. No big comments or tournaments to report however getting games in with the wardens a lot who are rapidly becoming one of my favourite Guild minions.

Sadly won't be playing at the GT so won't have any reports from there (Will be showing up on day 2 though)
