I really hope Lucius' love towards minions stays, since I'm guessing Dashel will take the guardsmen. I'm also expecting them to include Wastrels in McCabe, but I hope they tweak them a bit.

fantastic! thanks for the input gives me a good idea where to start

hi all :) I'm a Guild player looking to expand McCabe into TT and I'm also thinking about a new master and Misaki caught my eye. So my question is - are there models which overlap and would work well in these two crews?

gotcha. was confused with the "don't like the models either" part

has anyone managed to get a game or two with him? i'm in the process of assembling mine and i'd really like to hear some feedback

Me neither. I mean, I don’t like the models either. out of curiosity, why not? I know their DF is crap, but I've managed to pull a lot of nasty stuff with Lucius, so lately 2 thralls are an auto-take for him.

yup, it was still a good experiment and learning experience.

plus, he can hit back (which, admittedly, was rare for me)

this is something that might be doable for me down the road if I decide to get Nellie's box. the Jury is on her way, my SO has Frank and the Effigy, so if he's not playing them, i might take them

thanks for the inputs and detailed analysis! the "or should I just buy Ryle" comment was not a serious one I hate the idea of buying a model (and as mentioned, additional models just to make it work) just to increase my success rate at HH. I just wanted to see if there are obvious model picks and synergies for the henchmen I already have. that being said, I ended up playing a HH game last night. took dashel (arrest him for triggers, lead lined coat), executioner and two riflemen. I forgot Queeg at home opponent played Langston, Joss and two spiders. managed to take down Langston, but lost the executioner and finally Dashel. those spiders are nasty! they engaged my riflemen so they couldn't shoot most of the time and took down their DF. I expected a worse fate, it was a small victory to kill Langston, but there's not much to do after that.

I'm not expecting a 100% win ratio here, just not to get completely decimated in every game the dashel -queeg-riflemen combo sounds good, I might try that, thanks!

good point. I just might not be so inclined to take Queeg as he tends to be relatively circumstantial and somewhat squishy, although I really like him and try to take him in 50ss games as often as I can. as far as killy models in the crew, an executioner usually fits that slot. I'll toy with other possibilities and see what I come up with

I'm also playing a HH in a few weeks, but my only available henchmen are Sidir, Queeg and Dashel. Last month, I played a Sidir combo, which wasn't too bad, but as expected, there weren't any miracles. I don't see Queeg as being useful in HH, but I've seen a Dashel + riflemen list. Does he have any use in HH besides that? Is Sidir viable at all? I know these three are make the bottom of the Guild henchmen list, but are there options with them or should I just order Ryle and express paint him the night before?

I played them with McCabe, but I'm also thinking about trying one with Lucius since he and Dashel love guardsmen

I've seen him do really nasty stuff with executioners and the likes. One thing I've got going for me is that my opponent hasn't played Francisco at all, so when he does, I just might scrape by with some beginner's luck.

Haven't yet, but might soon, although my opponent plays Lady J and Sonnia. I DREAD the Judge

I will still give Legalese a try - Loop holes can be useful at times, depending on opposing crew. I tried Secret assets last week just to see how it would fit, and it was fun it's debatable whether it's worth taking, being circumstantial, but there were situations when it came in handy (the lack of randomization really helps when trying to finish off a model already engaged with your own)

no i took it because in a test game before the tournament I fell short 0.5" of denying my opponent 3 VPs, so I figured I might do something similar

just to get back OT a bit - I managed to finish 3rd in the tournament there was some luck (like a draw against the Viktorias), but overall, I'm really pleased with Lucius, I just loove the multiplying AP. I took Lucius (Deep pockets, surprisingly loyal, legalese) , the Scribe, Dashel (with Arrest him), one thrall, executioner, Master Queeg, terracotta warrior and austringer.

yes! took two last week, and even though I lost one round 2, the other one kept healing himself and was one of my last models in play.

a friend pointed this out the other day. it's a completely different style of play and I'm just tempted to put a huge model on the table and have my opponent try and get rid of him.

good point. it always seems nice to drop a big model on the table since people find it hard to ignore them, so they can at least be a nice distraction, but yeah, for 10ss, better take something else

what are your thoughts on the emissary? his upgrade seems nice, but I didn't get the impression people take him often with lucius

I was just about to ask about that, so thanks for the clarification

does that mean you do the switch and the thrall attacks because a marker was placed?
