Hagisman Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 So what do you guys think of using Promises in a Hoffman crew? Much like McCabe he gives out upgrades. Have any of you used it with him? obviously Promises would be on either Queeg or Sidir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 It's fantastic when it works, patching in those positive flips which Hoffman is designed not to hand out, but Sidir is...so...very...slow...Maybe with Queeg there's the chance of using it for more than one, maybe two turns..

Ludvig Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Doesn't Hoffman's conflux give positives to power looped models? I'd say that is a comparable buff on what is probably a better package for Hoffman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Probably, although having at least one aura with a longer range (Promises at 6") (yes, to a Hoffman crew that's 'longer range') was nice. I don't know. Sidir is my Dashel. He may be influencing the fight, but he certainly isn't doing it on his own activation. Queeg, at least, if he is sometimes useless, well, so are the hunters at the same price point before upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowNot2Wargame Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 It's great on queeg. He can whip people about and they can be healed by Hoff. Promises with then the Emissary is delightful. it also covers a big gap for Hoff which is Resisting wp based attacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTrans Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Resisting WP is good, but bang for buck (and honestly a true Hoffball already has 1-2 10ss-ish models in there) the emissary is where it is at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against some crews that WP buff is just insane so there is that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, there is that Not saying all of the time, but I have used Queeg quite a bit with Hoff, alongside Johan(na) and then a couple of sanctioned spell casters. Johanna as condition removal while getting positives as Hoff and Ryle are MSU is to me worth 7pts, and then Sanctioned Spellcasters can stop the Hoffball being pulled apart. They are pretty much the only non-constructs I consider with Hoff when building crews. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrealistik Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Definitely interested in the possibilities presented by Sanctioned Spellcasters for defeating Hoff's hardest counter; looks good on paper, but how does it translate in game?
