Where can I go from here?

[Killersox]

I just got into guild and I have decided to pick up Hoffman because the robots are super cool. My question is who is another master I can pick up that will have the least amount of models to buy based off of what I already have. I don't want to get the Ortegas because I play Ophelia in gremlins and they are almost identical. 

This I have already

- hoffman box

- ryle

-2 wardens

-brutal emmissary

-brutal effigy

-rail golem

-metal gamin

 

edit: I have a ton of ten thunders, gremlins, and neverborn also if that helps.

McCabe (with a box of dogs)? Or McMourning?

I'm loving the nellie box.

You could actually go literally anywhere from there. You have enough stuff to build reasonably good lists no matter which crew box you get, so I would really recommend going with what seems like the most fun or aesthetically pleasing to you. For Sonnia you would also want Malifaux Child, but for every other master the crew box would be enough.

From a similar base I picked up McCabe for slightly different stompybot tactics--they complained about Hoffman's fast hunters, McCabe reactivated one instead; they complained about my armored stompybots, I put on the strangemetal shirt aura of armor--don't complain about my stompybots! Also that brought a Promises carrier to the list in the days before Master Queeg (although Sidir never quite seems to pull his weight with that gun of his--'spect Ryle has spoiled me for expecting heinous damage output).

McMourning has brought no extra models to that list, but he takes models from it with glee. Injecting a watcher is almost as much scheme marker fun as modifying it, and Ryle made precise just makes me smile even if it's a soulstone devouring proposition outside of a Hoffman crew.

Although my answer for just about everything is "Lucius" (I believe he was even spotted behind the grassy knoll ); I think many of those models would nicely buff a Nellie crew.

A second watcher & Peacekeeper work wonders with Hoffman!

I second the McCabe box suggestion as well (with a box of guild hounds/Austringers). A suport master that fills the gaps that Hoffman doesn't cover as well. I also recommend the Ramos box to augment Hoffman and his arcane st assets for Joss and Howard.
