The problem I see is that Hoffman works very well with Constructs, and Lucius works well with Guardsmen. I can't see any real synergy or working-together-ness between them.
If you wanna get Hoffman (which I intend to at some point), get him and a couple other Constructs to beef out his crew, like a Peacekeeper.
If you want Lucius, get his box and another Guild masters box (I'd suggest Lady J's, personally), use Her as the Master and Lucius as a Henchman, and mix/match the rest of the contents of the boxes as you like.
Of course this is just me spouting whatever random drivel that I think, but hey, every little helps!
