Popular Post JDAntoine Posted November 17, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 As a newer player I’ve found that a lot of fantastic ideas can be found on the forums, PullMyFinger, Podcasts and several different blogs. However to make live a bit easier for newer players I decided to make a Compendium for the Guild. It covers all models we have now and will continue to be updated with further releases and obviously synergies.This Compendium acts as: - An oversight of all the Guild models (including exclusives) with links to the models - An small summery of all functionalities the Guild models have - An oversight of all the Guild cards with (including exclusives) links to the cards - A list of several sources you can use for you tactical advantage as a Guild player Note: If you are a Guild veteran this Compendium might be less of an interesting topic to look into. However feel free to add your experiences, synergy ideas and other tactical opinions used. - BOX SETS - The Guild’s Judgement - Lady Justice - The Judge - Scales of Justice - 3x Death MarshalLady Justice’s boxed set gives you a melee orientated Master that synergizes very well with Death Marshals and are known as the Ressurrectionist hunters within Malifaux. The box offers a lot of melee hitting power plus possible ranged support and a fast way for Death Marshals to go up the board.The Latigo Posse - Perdita Ortega - Francsico Ortega - Santiago Ortega - Nino Ortega - Papa Loco - Enslaved NephilimPerdita Ortega’s boxed set gives you a ranged orientated Master that synergizes very well with Family models and are known as the Neverborn hunters within Malifaux. The box offers a lot of ranged power plus great push synergizes and melee power to threaten your opponent very quick.The Torch and the Blade - Sonnia Criid - Samael Hopkins - Purifying Flame - 3x Witchling StalkerSonnia Criid’s boxed set gives you a caster orientated Master that is very capable of clearing the board of swarms of miniatures by melee, ranged and burning attacks. They are known as the Arcanist hunters within Malifaux. The box offers fantastic casting power from Sonnia plus great melee power in melee thanks to the Witchling Stalkers.Body of Evidence - Douglas McMourning - Sebastian - Zombie Chihuahua - Flesh Construct - Canine Remains - 2x NurseMcMourning’s boxed set gives you a dual Guild/Ressurrectionists melee Master that is extremely hard hitting in melee and uses poison attacks to clear the board very quickly. He offers you the option to go deeper into Ressurrectionists or act as a Guild Master with a good grip of Ressurrectionist models available to your Guild crew.Of Metal and Flesh - Charles Hoffman - Mechanical Attendant - 2x Hunter - Guardian - WatcherC. Hoffman’s boxed set gives you a construct orientated caster Master that is capable of synergizing with a lot of construct models and as a result can have a limited acces to Arcanist Construct models. He offers you great upgrade support for your crew’s constructs.Bound by Law - Lucius Matheson - Captain Dashel - The Scribe - 2x Guild Lawyer - 2x Guild GuardLucius’ boxed set gives you a dual Guild/Neverborn support orientated Master that is capable of letting your Guardsmen perform beyond themselves and as a Guild Master has a limited acces to Mimic Neverborn models. He offers allround casting support for your crew.Relic Hunters - Lucas McCabe (on foot and mounted) - Sidir Alchibal - Luna - 3x WastrelMcCabe’s boxed set gives you a dual Ten Thunders/Gild support orientated Master that is capable of passing relics around trough your crew to let other models reform beyond themselves and as a Guild Master has excellent synergy with Guild Hounds thanks to his trusty Luna. He offers great allround upgrade support for your crew.The Pen is Mightier - Nellie Cochrane - Phiona Gage - The Printing Press - 3x Field ReporterNellie’s boxed set gives you a support orientated Master that is capable of supporting your other crew models thanks to evidence. Her boxed set is scheme orientated and allows you to build pressure with casting attacks, melee attacks and scheme’s. She offers great allround casting support for your crew.Wild Ones (Nightmare Edition) - Rollins Black (alternate Lucas McCabe on foot and mounted) - Cherri Bomb (alternate Sidir Alchibal) - Iggy Pup (alternate Luna) - Elli Ramone (alternate Mounted Guard) - Patti Ramone (alternate Mounted Guard)Rollin’s boxed set gives you a dual Ten Thunders/Gild support orientated Master that is capable of passing relics around trough your crew to let other models reform beyond themselves and as a Guild Master has excellent synergy with Guild Hounds thanks to his trusty Iggy Pup.

Burnin' Coal Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks for taking the time to put this all together....as a new learner/player armed with a starter set and some randomly selected models it makes for a great overall reference....if someone in the know could do similar for the Neverborn it would be excellent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a bit helpful to me as a newer player is this way I can directly find what I need on the forums, as said cards will be applied and if there are more (alternate sculpts) I will also include them. Currently I've decided to exclude the colour variant sprues because I can't easily trace them back and they are the same colour otherwise. From my perspective players also generally want to hunt down exclusives slightly more as 'just colour variants' as awesome as the colour variants are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks indeed....speaking only for myself no rush to finish though....between work and travel am still at the reading all I can and painting stage with an occasional stab at the mechanics....this compendium will help make learning all the more enjoyable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 You forgot the alternative witchling handler. But well done so far, lots of good stuff for new players to get an overview. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But well done so far, lots of good stuff for new players to get an overview. Thank you! As said, I'm still quite new. I'll search it up and add it to our arsenal! If players do want to know about the colour variant options in the past I'd have to do some additional research but could add it for the die-hard collectors.

JDAntoine Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Thanks for the feedback, small mistakes have been removed/updated. As soon as I'll find the time the General Upgrade cards will be linked to Wargamevault, I wonder if I should also include the Specific Upgrade cards and add some additional information about them? It might be interesting to do? Additionally I wonder if Guild players would like to have an additional overview of all the Mercenary models we technically have available to out faction. Many thanks for your replies and suggestions so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Great job and thanks ! A list of mercenaries would be most useful indeed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias79 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 This is good info! My contribution to the small error catching: Queeg is listed in the Henchmen section, but stated an Enforcer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valgaav Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I feel like what's already there is more a list of how things are expected to be played, rather than how they are. Having a second post changing that would seem wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no Ca attack actions, tactical actions yes, but those aren't really a quality that makes a Casting Master. His own actions are based on placement and scheme running with Primary Emphasis on Minion support. His only attack action is a sword that gives s to hit mimics and minions. Nellie gets away with being a Casting Master because she does have Ca Attack actions that do damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His actions most certainly are focused on Minion support. Which in my opinion is exactly as is stated on the tin:Casting Master, Minion support, Mimic How else would you describe him in as few words as possible?

JDAntoine Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Compendium is complete as far as it's possible to purchase individual models and cards. Some things to note: - Currently Wargame Vault does not sell loose Wave 3 and Wave 4 cards - Currently Wargame Vault does not sell loose Wild Ones (Nightmare Edition) cards - Currently the Vintage models come with their own cards who are exclusive to those models. As it's very difficult to obtain quality pictures of the cards of exclusive models like the Wild Ones or Vintage models I decided to not add them. Pretty much everything else is exactly as it says on the tin. For those who have some questions on certain definitions: Casting Masters are not solely using Ca for damage. (example Lucius) Ranged Masters are not solely using Sh attacks for ranged attacks. (example Perdita) Melee Masters are not solely using Ml attacks, most often they have more tricks in the bag. (example Lady Justice) Combined Arms Masters are a wonderful mix of everything and don't have a specific Ca, Sh or Ml attack that highlights them. (example McCabe, two forms) Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 For what its worth I wouldn't call Sonnia a Casting master, I'd call her a ranged master, and Perdita is a combined arms master (her close combat attack is better than her ranged attack). (I'd argue that Sonnia has probably the best close ranged attack in the guild, but she doesn't have the defences to want to use it normally). But I don't see what purpose a "casting master" as a title is. Knowing what stats a model used doesn't really tell you what the master does.

JDAntoine Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Mercenary options added with links, description might come at a later moment! Rather relevant for Nellie so I'm sure several discussions will arrise on her and the mix of Mercs later Happy 2017! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonB_HS Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Just started getting into Malifaux this week. Just wanted to say from the POV of a new player that this is massively helpful, thanks for taking the time to organise it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jernmajoren Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Really helpful thanks for taking the time to make it. Noticed a few typos here a list of errata : Preformer -> Performer Frekorpsmenn -> Freikorpsmann Dr. Durfesse -> Dr. Dufresne Transparancy -> Transparency Suprisingly Loyal -> Surprisingly Loyal Elixer of Life -> Elixir of Life I believe Master Queeg should also be Guardsman. For McMourning, maybe also add Anti-Armor and scheme manipulation? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 @Jernmajoren It's freikorpsmann, singular, not menn. Not sure if the plural would be men or männer, I go lazy and use the english plural. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
