Expanding perdita force from the starter box

[raincaller]

For a perdita led force what should i pick up next?

Guild Guard

Deathmarshals

witchling stalkers

[Gremlin Swarm]

I know I sound like a broken record here but...

Peacekeeper. Expensive, but worth it.

Tough, fast, and dangerous. It can draw fire and/or dish it out as needed.

[raincaller]

I am still learning the game so I am typically playing 15-25 ss games, I do like the peacekeeper and probably will get it eventually it just seems like a lot of points to put in a lower point game.

[nilus]

Peace Keeper is good but expensive. The Executioner is also nice as well.

Of the three choices above I would go with the Death Marschals. They are wicked good ranged units, which compliments the Ortegas nicely. Plus they are good enough melee fighters to pick up the slack there if needed.

Another good model to think about is the Guild Austiger. They also really do good at a range and are a nice compliment to Nino

Abuala comes out next month and she is a must have as well.

[Jonas Albrecht]

Abuela Ortega!

But you probably knew that.

I'm a fan of the Austringers and the Death Marshals, and many here recommend the Executioner. Each can be targeted with the Shotgun Wedding ability, so bonus pretzel.

And the idea of the Executioner marrying into the family just makes me giggle like a school girl

[Jonas Albrecht]

I am going to call mine Gordo Ortega, because I am intellectually lazy.

[TimeLapse]

Im a long time player of the Family, and i agree moma loco and the Executioner are good add ons, along with perditas totem, it alows you to cast obey a 2nd time.

But I am thinking that you want a cheep model to boslter your numbers,and there is none better then the witchling stalker.

I would go with the stalkers because they are better then guards and the dath guys at Melee something the ortagas can use, aslo they just have better sub skills like scout and hunter that make them more useful for schemes and such.

over all if you compair Guild Guards, Deathmarshals, witchling stalkers with each other you will find that the witchlings will be more useful, the deathmarshals have some okay ablities but out side of a lady J list they tend not to shine. The stalkers on the other hand work just as well in any list.

I use them in my family list and I find that the simple fact that they are scouts make them the choice worth taking.

hope this helps.

Jonas, if you go with the Gordo Ortega Executioner thing, you should model him with a sombrero in place of the hood. (Or maybe even as well as the hood.)

He could either wear it, or have it slung on his back like Francisco's.

[Hogwart]

Was just wondering if a convicted gunslinger was worth adding to Perdita's family. I am new to guild and was thinking of running her basic box set plus Abuela and a convited gunslinger.

[PM8K]

I just picked up convict gunslinger to back up my perdita crew. Gunfighter and his ability to paralyze models is definitely worth it.

[Hogwart]

That was my thought. Use Abuela to make him part of the family. Just wasn't sure as I am new to guild and wanted to se what everyone else thought.

[nilus]

Honestly I think the convict gunslinger is overkill. There are a lot of good Guild Models that can do his job just as well as he can(most are Ortegas). I really see him as a good include for Res and Neverborn players since they have so few ranged models.

I'm not saying hes bad, but hes not my first choice as an addition.

[Alondir]

List id be toying with would be

Perdita obv,

Nephilm 2,

Nino 7,

Exicutioner 7,

Abuela 7,

Death martal/stalker 4

leaving you with 5ss pool

can imagin that would be quite fun

[nilus]

The only thing to worry about with that list is if you get stuck with something like Reconnoiter. Since you are running with a small amount of units.

Other then that though its a pretty viable list. If you went up to 35 SS I would suggest dropping Fransisco in there.

And if you wanted to go for a more medium to short ranged gun fight swap out Nino for Santiago. But that might just be me, I love good old Santiago "The Terminator" Ortega.

[Jonas Albrecht]

+1 on recommending Santiago.

Whenever things go south for me, its always him and Perdita left on the table at the end.

Well since you pick your list after strategies I don't see a big issue
