TacoTruckJohn Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) In my 7 games experience I've found I'm better playing for schemes & strategies than beating people up. Keen to hear people's thoughts on the list and I have a few questions below.... -------------------------------------------- Lucius + Secret Assets (2) + Secret Objective (1) Captain Dashel (9) x2 lawyers (6+6) x2 Guild Guard (4+4) x2 Guild Hounds (3+3) x2 Wardens (6+6) -------------------------------------------- Q1: Are Wardens a worthwhile choice? Or going for an Austringer (6) + Pathfinder (6) a better option? Q2: Are 2 hounds enough? Q3: I had 1SS spare and spent it on Secret Objective. I couldn't see anything better to spend it on but I'm open to suggestions Q4: Captain Dashel (9) OR Francisco (8) + Wade In (1)? I'm thinking Francisco meets the combat niche but Dashel better complements the whole Guardsmen vibe of the gang Edited March 28, 2016 by TacoTruckJohn Correction to guard's cost as raised in a reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myyrä Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Wardens are pretty good but I would definitely consider replacing one of the Lawyers with an Austringer. Also, Guild Guards don't cost 6ss. Depends on what you are trying to do with them. They probably aren't enough for completing too many scheme marker schemes, but if you just need minions to stand somewhere, two might be quite enough. Legalese is usually considered better than Secret Objectives. Watch My Back might be an option as well, since you are considering taking two Wardens. I would keep Dashel. He is surprisingly proficient in melee as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking Francisco meets the combat niche but Dashel better complements the whole Guardsmen vibe of the gang I've been having trouble getting my head around for the new Schemes. My problem right now is that Lucius benefits from a Minion heavy crew which means that a couple of the schemes. Show of Force() and Hunting Party() benefit from Enforcer/Henchman crew builds that I'm not used to running. As for the questions at hand, I agree with Myyra for the most part. Though he is some additional opinions: Wardens are really good.I haven't had a chance to use two at once, but one can really hold his own. A Pathfinder would be great on Interference and if Hunting Party is not on the table. Austringers would be good in almost any scenario. Play it by ear would be my advice on that. Depending on what you want them for. I can definitely see taking 2 hounds for Interference or Guard the Stash. But it certain scenarios they might not be as useful. Especially in something like Head Hunter. Lucius doesn't need a lot of upgrades compared to other Guild Masters. Secret Objective is very hard to pull off and benefits from a scheme marker heavy pool. I did well with it back in GG2015 in one game, but I'm not sure how it would play in 2016. Captain Dashel is a force multiplier for Guardsmen so your current list really benefits from him. Though Master Queeg might be a good alternative as well. This is completely subjective though as I've not used him yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I would probably switch secret objectives for dampening field and put it on Dashel (depends a little on what kind of models your regular opponents favour). I would also look into the possibility of switching a lawyer or both hounds for a stalker/rifleman + the scribe and dropping secret objectives.
