Hansel Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 So, I have: Sonnia box Lady J box Purifying Flame Nino 3x extra Witchlings I have about $50 to spend, and I'm thinking of getting a Lucius box (because he looks so damn cool) and an Executioner. Are these decent choices, meaning, will they go well with what I have, or will I have to buy more to further bolster, say, a Lucius box? Alternatively, I've been thinking of picking up the rest of the Guild totems, because it seems like it might be good to have them all. Any comments on this are much appreciated. Thanks!

Bozzy Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Lucious box works well with lady j and soniaa and on his own only thing myb friend really added was an austringer or 2..and the executioner goes well with sonia perdita and lady j..

Adran Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 If you are wanting to use Lucius as a Leader his box could do with a pack of guards and a pack or two of Austringers, as well as a totem for him as these are all he can take. Using him with another master you don't have these problems, and I like a lot of the stuff in his box. Executioner is very nice (unless its on the other side of the table to you) with any of the masters, giving you a very potent melee threat.

MunkeyKungFu Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 With Lady J I always find the executioner is a great addition. If you like the totems I use the scales of justice or the Governers proxy. Both lovely models and good on the table as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 And if you decide to take Lucius as a Master, then the Drill sergeant totem is a good one, especially if you have a crew full of guards and Austringers! Executioner is a fine addition to any Guild crew and will give your opponent something to concentrate on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoFell Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I like the Austringers. You set them up high, and they work as Snipers. Picking up some clams of the Ortegas (Nino and Santiago would be my suggestions) isn't a bad idea either. Nino is a sharp shooter and Santiago does more damage when he's hurt. Both of them have Shrug Off so they can hold their own in Sonnia's Crew, and they move at the same rate as the death Marshals, so you have everyone moving across the board at the same pace. I have the executioner, but I don't run him often. He's a great model with great stats. I just find other models more useful. I play against a lot of ranged armies, so I want to stay away from them. The Executioner can't do that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 The obvious answer is Ressurectionists, they are far cooler than guild.. You could definitely get a Seamus crew set up for that much. FALL TO THE DARK SIDE.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ressers can never compete with the Guild. *shakes head sadly* Ratty, when are you going to realize that we aren't going away and you're just going to have to assimilate... or perish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karn987 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Ressers just wish they were as cool as the Neverborn. Yeah yeah undead, we are sooooo past that. Pfftt Undead are so last century *flips hair* In all seriousness though, the Executioner is a fantastic model. If for no other reason then taking a lot of time and planning to deal with. I always dread Lilith coming up against him. I usually have to do some strange things to get rid of him in that match up. Glad to see Nino is already on your list. I despise playing against that model so it definitely should be on your list ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunkeyKungFu Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 What makes the executioner so good is his ability to dish out damage when reduced to 0 wounds and then come back. Makes him an absoloute beast up close, and really make your opponent have to think about taking him out at range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansel Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I think I'm going to go with: -Lucius box -Executioner -Gov's Proxy I've heard Gov's Proxy is good. I might've gone with the Scales of Justice in its place, but my FLGS is out of that at the moment, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Alleycat Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Well,I tried out using gov's proxy last week,I would only add it into a list where your not likely to have many morale duels. But that +2wp is an awesome bonus. and as for us Ressers dealing with the guild...remember..we love the environment. Reduce -> Re-use -> Re-animate! Edit :Or as my 11 year old said "Also known as re-educate" *grins* I think things are going well,even if he is deadset on a guild crew as his first.

LoboStele Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 $50 would get you a lot of different things. You could get the Raspy box set, a Silent One and the Essence of Power for a full 35 SS crew. You could buy Colette's box set and the Coryphees. You could get the Dreamer's box and the Daydreams. The Viks box, plus another couple random Mercs. Von Schills box is also a decent mesh with the Masters you've got already. But, all said and done, if you want to stick with the Guild, than Lucius and the Executioner are an excellent choice. Lucius' Reinforcements can work pretty well for keeping your Executioner safe. Only bring him to the front lines when you're ready for him to start making a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansel Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I pulled a left turn and decided to not get Lucius quite yet, and instead round out my collection of 1st book Guild Crews. I bought: -Perdita box (individually, b/c I already have Nino) -Abuela (gotta have all the family, right?) -Executioner -Governor's Proxy (not sure how great it is but I want to try it out) My FLGS has a 20% off minis coupon for this month (look in the Mercury, Portlanders), so I got all that for just shy of 50 bones.

Atherzon Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I own but haven't used the Governor's Proxy, yet. I think it is a very good totem that is even better in some match ups, but you may regret not picking up Perdita's Enslaved Nephelim for her, especially if you want to Obey models. The Enslaved Nephelim has the required mask for Obey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansel Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Good to know I probably won't play Perdita for a little while; I'm new to the game and am going to focus on Sonnia for a while, then I also have a Lady J box. I just got an influx of gaming cash and couldn't resist spending it on Malifaux. I do plan on picking up the Nephilim & Scales of Justice eventually.
