Wave 5 gave Guild some very nice toys to play with and opened up a lot of new avenues. I really need to get back into playing McCabe, he was my first Guild master, but when I look at him now I just drool a little with no clue on how to start building the crew. Maybe a good topic to start.

Very true, not the sort of model you can chuck in peoples faces and expect to live.

They are looking rather good and love what you did with the bases.

Well I have been running Sonnia without Francisco for most of the year and she seldom ends up dead (turn 5 a couple of times after she has activated). I am rather fond of using the nice MI7 with blasts and burning she can now have, and clawing back all those wounds and grab a handful of extra cards in the process. Suppose you can play it safe and go DF6 but that would not lure people into attacking her.

I guess Sonnia has not got the best single target damage out put that is not her thing, it is those blasts that blanket the opposing crew and if you can add a dash of burning to the mix it is a regular night out at "Sonnia's BBQ & Grill".

Things have changed so I can make this one. Think I have Phil, Luke, Mat & Perry with me.

@Fazza92 It sort of reads like the grass is greener on the other side. Something has changed in Guild this year, Francisco is no longer that must have model and has some serous competition for his place in a crew. Guild Guard at 3ss is just great and a pair of them have been responsible for more than a couple of my wins this year. As for most of the Guild masters not being competitive, well most of the time this all comes down to the player TBH but the only master I have not been seeing competitively is McMorning. Personally I have had good results with Sonnia and Dita this year along with Nellie, my next test is to see how well I can do with Lucius in a tournament. In regards to card draw you need to look at the Guild counters, Witchling Stalkers, Witchling Handlers & Guild Austringer.

I can see why a lot of Gremlin players are disappointed, this is not in the same league as the Dark Carnival, The Wild Ones, Curiosity Killed the Cat & the Alternate Rasputina crew boxes. But it is a rather fun and quirky box with a theme that no other crew comes close to.

Now when I first set eyes on this it just brought a smile to my face it is defiantly original and very well done but I can see why a lot of Gremlin players are disappointed. This is not in the same league as the Dark Carnival, The Wild Ones, Curiosity Killed the Cat & the Alternate Rasputina crew boxes. I would have loved to see a 1940’s gangster style Ophelia crew or a 3 Musketeers inspired Brewmaster crew, the Spanish Inquisition comes to mind for Wong. This is one of those crews that I would not be disappointed in finding in a Large Mystery box at an event though.

Dipping your toe in Neverborn I see, have to admit it is not a crew that appeals to me but it is fun to play against.

What do you find boring about games against the Viks? I've not played against the Hired Swords for about 6 months or more.

I have to agree that it is rather disappointing that out of date cards are still getting packed with the crew boxes.

You already have a good chunk of guild by the looks of it so maybe adding Sonnia to the mix, good excuse to get some Thalarian Queller’s and Witchling Thrall’s. Keeping in theme with the Witch Hunter thing I always like to run a Witchling Handler and all the models in the M2e starter set are Witch Hunters also.

That is harsh and sort of puts a dampener on the game a little, I would like to see Upgrade stat card decks available so our LGS can stock them. Now I have all the cards on the app but when playing a game I still much prefer to have the cards on the table and it is much nicer to have a card with the correct information on it so if my opponent want to take a look at what I am doing.

I am assuming that your current crew list is not working out for you? Personally I never take Francisco with Nellie anymore, I would much rather put in the Jury or Dade in his place. Never tried Ryle (maybe because I do not have him) so no real idea if he is good, bad or ugly. I would recommend at least one Austringer in your list, Deliver Orders is darn handy and the mask trigger on Raptor. With Sonnia being your other master I am guessing you have Witchling Stalkers that should not be overlooked with a MI6 with a nice crow trigger and condition removal (that seems a key part in most games now). Now this may not suite your play style but hopefully gets you thinking of things you can do.

For me it is rule of cool when I start something new but I tend not to use anything that is not fully painted, ascetics first and could not care if it sucks in game. So why do you want to start out with Nellie, is it the idea of running around saying bad things about people to drown them in their own tears. Maybe it is the play-style of the crew or simply the ascetics.

Maybe we need to invest in some green body paint hehehe.

See how you skipped the part about refusing to come to the pub at Dinner LoL.

We if your meta is drowning in Nellie that would prompt me to run McCabe.

Remembering that this player already has Sonnia, Lucius & Hoffman. So the choice of next Master is between McCabe or Nellie. So though Lucius is cool he already has this master hence why we are suggesting adding Nellie’s crew box to the mix.

All very true, I was thinking about the models with the Reporters & Phiona being good models regardless of master. I sort of find Dashel rather lacking (maybe I just need more Guild Guard) and cannot fine a place for him in my lists.

Lucius is a great master now but you will need to take a look at his errata cards as he and his totem have changed quite a bit. Still think Nellie is a stronger box to start out with though.

Often toyed with the idea of throwing Hannah into a Nellie crew, thinking outside the box maybe a Librarian is worth taking a look at.

I am rather skilled at building models and often get roped into help build or put right models, that said this box is still daunting. I could easily sell it on and make a profit, all in the box and on the sprue but that would sort of be chickening out. That said the wife said I should keep it (she is a Malifaux addict so I bet she has her eye on something and will use this a leverage to get it).

Just got my hands on the box last night due to the fact that its owner could not face the prospect of building it. Guess it is my problem now LoL.
