Thanks for the clarification. That makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for the primer. I found it to be an excellent read as I'm returning to the game after a fairly long hiatus. Quick, noob question, if a model misses Pandora with a melee attack are they considered to have failed a WP duel for the purposes of Misery?

Executioner is pretty rocking in a Perdita list. I also like him with Lady J, Student and Lucius. A Fast, Melee Expert Executioner tossed into an enemy crew is pretty sick. While it is activation intensive it can be brutal vs. crews with many low cost minions. If I go with this set-up I almost always take Grudge or Kill Protege as a scheme.

I tend to build my lists in a similar fashion. Creating modules that are self sufficient and well rounded is a solid list building strategy for Guild. Using the above mentioned strategy this afternoon I won A Line in the Sand 6-2 as the attacker vs. Rasputina. My force was split as follows: Module 1: Executioner; Convict Gunslinger; Enslaved Nephlim Module 2: Santiago; Francisco Roaming: Perdita; Watcher I also like Witchling Stalkers paired with Death Marshals, Francisco and Nino, and Brutal Effigy, Santiago, Guardian.

I've had pretty good success with this crew in combat focused strategies (Slaughter, Contain Power, Claim Jump etc...) Guild Crew - 35 - Scrap Lady Justice -- 8 Pool Student of Conflict [4ss] Lucius [10ss] Executioner [7ss] Guild Austringer [5ss] Guild Austringer [5ss]

I'm 1-1 vs. Kirai with Guild. The larger minimum damage models seems to a big boon but I'm wondering if a couple of Austringers may be worth it just to punk Senshin. Thoughts?

Thanks for the insight Nilus. My playgroup almost exclusively plays shared strategies and I feel Shared Destroy the Evidence is a tough one for Guild. I'm going to try out your idea of a first turn grab and then playing a lot of defense.

OK, that makes a lot of sense, thanks!

That's awesome! Thanks for the clarification.

You really can't go wrong with the Perdita box. She's a fun and fairly strong master (her low SS cache is her only downside) and it is pretty common to see Nino, Santiago and even occasionally Francisco in non-Perdita lists. In my experience Austringers work best in pairs. You should get a second one. I also really like teaming Lucius up with Lady J to slingshot her and an Executioner up the field. That being stated I'm not a fan of Lucius' box set and would encourage you to just buy his blister. I agree with mistercactus; if you're going to play Sonnia a lot then her avatar is a great buy. If that's the case you should also pick up a couple of Desperate Mercs. Finally, do yourself a huge favor and pick up a Watcher. I've stopped keeping track of the number of games this little guy has won for me. For 3 stones you get a significant model with speed 7, flight and a toolbox of useful abilities.

Cool, thanks Nilus. Is it legal to activate Perdita first and declare the companion chain of Perdita, dogs and totem even though she only has "Companion (Family)" on her card? I was playing under the assumption you couldn't activate a totem and the dogs in the same companion chain because you had to begin an activation with a model then you could declare any companions it has on its card.

Bump because I'd like to know what the list is as Destroy the Evidence is a tough scenario for me. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I think there's a great deal of value in shaking up the normal point totals. It makes some things that are normally auto-includes a critical decision. Exactly! Plus, I think it makes it a much harder choice to max SS out.

Awesome! I was so bummed about not making it this year but family first. I so want to fast forward to next year. On a side note I was curious why you went with 30SS for the qualifiers and masters? And as a follow-up do you feel the games ran smoother at 30? I ask because I play at a couple of different venues in MI and 35SS seems like the industry standard.

The Turn 6 idea sounds interesting but I would hope it would not replace the standard qualifier/masters format. One stumbling block I could see with it is people having to frantically track down opponents or wait around until one of them shows up.
