wizuriel Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 So just curious but what models have been Guild using to scheme with? Looking to play some of my Guild for 3E and theorycrafting really not seeing any goof scheme runners in Guild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronex13 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 I've been working on this topic as well. Here's some of what I've come up with: Packs of Guild Hounds: running a mon of these guys together up one table side is great. They can individually lay down a bunch of schemes and are very fast. Can have a potential Stat 10 on melee too. Very fragile though and need to stay together. False Witness: lays down an alarming amount of scheme markers and can mess with enemy scheme shenanigans. Lacks any form of speed without help. Horsies: all of them have good speed. Lone Marshall has a SH7 so can defend very well once he gets somewhere. They are all a pretty major points investment. Grimwell: generally makes it into most of my list as nimble is fabulous and he's still a pretty darn good enforcer. Has ways to push towards enemies if need be.

Dark Reaper Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Sanctioned Spellcasters are very good. Easy access to fast in the early rounds and only 4SS. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathaidan Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Out of Family, I have been running the Monster Hunters. They get a 5" push towards enemy models as a bonus action and a free 4" push during the end of turn. Add that into the 4" push they get when they focus, and they can have 13" of movement without taking a walk action and have focus to use when they need it. Plus they've got decent base stats and a good number of wounds. They're very good at moving up and killing enemy scheme runners and then dropping their own scheme markers efficiently.

Cathaidan Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Just now, trikk said: Creep Along is towards Frendlies I stand corrected. Still free movement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trikk Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 I don't think I'd ever play Outflank/Power Ritual with anyone else than Dashel or Hoffman tbh. Dashel can summon dogs/mounted guards and Hoff has Hunters with Mv6 and Deadly Pursuit+Transfer Power. As for scheme runners: False Witness, Nellie, Watchers are probably my go to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna out manuever and pick my battles to victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to stick to the keyword pretty hard in Lucius because I love that sweet sweet card draw. I'll have to try that tonight instead.

I don't really like playing lists that avoid fights because it can end up pretty bad pretty easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Reaper Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Agreed, but it is easier during the first rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have to activate someone else to catch up, at that point aren't you trading a higher cost activation for a lower cost and handicapped activation? Sometimes I can see that being worth it, but man that sounds inefficient overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually pair Samael with the sanctioned spellcasters because with creep along he can easily follow them without wasting actions walking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowNot2Wargame Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 So not sure how useful but.... Steamfitters with Hoffman look ok. Drop, Walk, bonus to drop if I have a card or scrap nearby (If I have read it right?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belorey Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Watcher can move 16" each turn so os very fast for far away schemes. If you give It to him fast in first/second turn plus you Toss with Guardian he can move 33" in that turn to score breackthout or corrupted idols.
