Da Big Baws Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Are they good together? Why can he hire him (flulff-wise)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Albrecht Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 With so many large point models in your arsenal, you'll never really have room for him, nor would you really want to take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izikial Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 in game fluff there is no discription as yet, but they can work together because of a german poem about a sandman esq creatur that steals childrens eyes eg corppelius and its auther i belive is c hoffman. im sure a following poster will put up a link, as i dont have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wodschow Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I dunno, I think he's an interesting addition.. But of course I love oddball lists.. Soeh.. If I played Guild/Hoffman I'd be inclined to try something ala this out: Hoffman Toolkit Coppelius Performer + Mannequin Peacekeeper 2 Guild Hounds Hoffmans mobile fortress consisting of the Peacekeeper, Toolkit and a fancy Armor+3 linked Mannequin. Coppelius and Performer attempt to tag-team with Paralyze/Poison combos. Hounds because there was 5SS left over and they're fast enough to easily keep up with the other two groups, in a more defensive list maybe swap the Peacekeeper for Ryle and those two for Watchers.. No idea how well it'd play though - probably fun xD I suspect the Performer might be a tad too slow, fragile and non-floaty however.. Even outside oddball lists I think Coppelius has some merit - especially on a board with dense terrain where he's very likely to get to the enemy quickly without dying on the way.

nachtnebel Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 "Der Sandmann" ... I have a love-hate relationship with this poem. I had to discuss it 3 times during school time. Hoffman, Coppelius, Hamelin and probably Schill seem to have a german background, also not everything is represented by the fluff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboStele Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I think the Woodschow gave is a pretty good use of Coppelius. Using the Performer in there allows Coppelius to easily Paralyze models, and then the Performer can give them Poison 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izikial Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) just a note, as far as i can tell, the list is 36 ss? have i added up wrong? also the maiquin can only link to showgirls. Edited May 6, 2011 by izikial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboStele Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Toolkit - 4 Coppelius - 9 Performer + Mannequin - 8 Peacekeeper - 9 2 Guild Hounds - 5 (they cost 1 less when you hire 2) 35 SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izikial Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 the hounds still cost 6, but you get 1 more for your chache in the battle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Albrecht Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Yeah, you have to pay the 6 up front. You get to add one to your cache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh...I don't have my book handy, so I didn't remember that this was how it worked. I think I'd rather go with the Watcher anyways, IMO, and then just take the remaining 2 SS for the Cache.

izikial Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 and as the manaquin can only link to showgirls, it will never keep up with the hoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodschow Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) and as the manaquin can only link to showgirls, it will never keep up with the hoff It can, because friendly constructs near Hoffman can ignore their listed abilities. Edit: They also will not be slow, although I have no idea what to use their extra AP for.. I suppose they'll be the prime target for Tap Power.. So Slow again, yay! Didn't think about the hounds, like I said they're just there because there was 5SS left over, add whatever else to the list and it'd function about the same.. Really not the focus of the list..

izikial Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 good point, forgot about the hoff being forgiving of his constructs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
