With a wk 4 on the witchling its hard to think he is underpriced. I think he is fairly priced. No real filth even strongest lists have built in weaknesses.
Guild is a fairly strong and balanced faction.

I have to admit it's not that I wanted to find and use a filth list, it's just that I always end up going against filth lists whenever I play, I've played the Pandora filth list not that long ago and others as well. I was just wondering if there was anything like that for us guild players. Truthfully I'm very happy that we don't have anything like that. And as to the Witchlings being underpriced I don't agree. They don't have anywhere high enough of a walk/charge. They can easily be out maneuvered by almost anything and really are just great in CC. Their shooting is only ok, low CB

Really? Apart from being a tad boring I find it very fragile and unreliable against any crew with average or better mobility (free disengages only go so far) or durability (a minimum damage of 1 totally sucks, and you need your 8+ cards to cast your extra shots wth Lucius).

Guild technically do not have a "filth" list but they do have the ability to field generalist crews that do well on most of the strategies.
My general crew is:
2 Austringers
3 Death Marshal
1 Desperate Merc / Watcher
1 Suitable Totem (Student of Conflict or Enslaved Nephilim)
Thing is I run Lady Justice or Perdita, so this crew suits either of them fine. Hoffman and Lucius' crews are much different.

I have found it quite the opposite actually, with 2 Guild Austringer's performing Strikes at 24" (ignoring LOS and Cover) they can usually put the presure on first turn. Additionally, their CB is high enough that they will be performing straight flips more often than not against average Df models, so can usually cheat up the damage flip. Once the Drill Sergeant and Lucious activate and buff it further, beating your opponent by 6+ is fairly easy (and even Lilith and Perdita have to worry about getting hit). Needing the 8+ for Issue Command might seem difficult but occurs almost 50% of the time (actually 46% with or without Cheating).
Once engaged it does shut down the Ranged strikes until they are disengaged, but most models that are fast enough to get to them from outside of 12" are also fairly fragile. Additionally, there will be other models available to protect the strike force (Lucious, a Drill Sergeant, and 2 Guild Austringer will leave 7 SS for hiring other models if he isn't leading the crew or 21 SS if he is).
Lastly, the entire group can activate simultaneously (via Deliver Orders and Companion) putting 5-7 strikes on any threat models at up to 12" regardless of LOS or Cover before they threaten them.
In terms of some of the other "filth" that is/was out there, it may seem less than stellar but it is fairly tough to face.President of the Louisana Chapter of the Gremlin Anti-Defamation League

Since your relatively new to the forums I would swing over to the Announcements page on this forum and make sure your up to date on all of the errata. Im just bringing it up because in one of your earlier posts you mentioned playing the dreamer and his "normal" play style just got a big over haul. Also the Pandora Filth list was broken with the Nekemia errata (Broken as in it no longer works, not over powered).I have to admit it's not that I wanted to find and use a filth list, it's just that I always end up going against filth lists whenever I play, I've played the Pandora filth list not that long ago and others as well. I was just wondering if there was anything like that for us guild players.
My 2ss Desperate Stalkers disagree with you =)And as to the Witchlings being under priced I don't agree.Last edited by Twisted Metal; 04-22-2012 at 03:10 AM.

I imagine what it might be like to fight Kirai with:
Perdita
Nino
Abuela
Guild Austinger x2
Exorcist
Dead Seishin...
Exorcist just feels like it brings things to the table in so many match-ups...
But, I dunno. I am just a rezzer that is afraid of him.

Exorcist seems to play like a slower, cheaper von schill, has the ability to pop around a corner and take two shots - and is really hated by Ressers.

Not sure if its dirty or not but I tend to bring out this list when facing a more competitive player
Lucius
Gov. Proxy
Austringer x2
Ryle
Warden x3
Now all wyrd has to do is release the warden models..

Exorcist has the ability to be really awesome... if he can get to the fight and survive. Everything being magical really keeps the Kirai spirits away from him though.
