    Guild on a budget

    The term budget is used lightly, but just something I noticed when browsing the guild range. Guild has some of the most well-rounded starter boxes in the entire range, and I mean well-rounded as a faction not on a per master basis. This is mainly because the minions provided in each box are all staple guild models. So with that information, I'm fairly certain it'd be possible to build a fairly deep and versatile faction pool on just the three book 1 starter boxes and three blisters. My question is what would be the three best blisters to accomplish this with. Currently I'm thinking Austring, Executioner, and Witchling Handler but I'm not overly familiar with the faction.

    Edit-Probably the best way to do it

    Honestly, if I was new and just starting guild, my initial purchases would be in this order:
    1. Sonnia Criid starter box
    2. Witchling Handler
    3. Lady Justice Starter Box
    4. Perdita Starter Box
    5. 2 blisters of Guild hounds
    6. Enslaved Nephilim
    7. Blister of Guild Guards
    8. Lucius Starter Box
    9. Drill Sergeant
    10. Hoffman Starter Box
    11. 2x Wardens (if this is after they release)
    12. Exorcist (if my local area had a fair number of ressers)
    13. Pale Rider
    14. 2 blisters of Austringers
    15. 2 blisters Desperate Mercenaries

    To augment:

    Perdita: Abuela Ortega or a Guardian
    Lady Justice: Exorcist or Guardian
    Sonnia: Witchling Handler!

    in terms of general useful minions, get some Watchers and Wardens.
    pffft... later.

    I can see the benefit of this. Mainly gets around the guild being slow by either using hounds to cover ground quickly, or the handler to better coordinate witchlings.

    No Guardian? I think that he is extremely good for both Lady Justice and Sonnia Creed. Watcher is also something I would buy before Guild Guard.

    You could do the smart thing, and create your own theme, and then simply find miniatures for good price that makes up for a great proxy.

    Just look at my blog

    http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread...rborn-v2/page7

    I have an almost complete Neverborn and Outcast faction, half a Guild faction and i have only used a fraction of the original cost thanks to scavenging, www.maelstroemgames.co.uk with their sales and second hand buys.

    Or get smart and if you like the game, then join the Henchmen and promote the game to your friends and other lucky souls, and they pay you in Wyrd miniatures!!!

    From looking at that list I can see there's no love for aPerdita. It's pretty solid otherwise, I've skipped a few steps myself and once I rectify it I'll be pretty much the same. Good advice!

    Keep in mind guys, this is just my order of preference. I will agree, I should slide the peacekeeper in there but I am not sure where. As for aPerdita, she is currently the only Guild model thats released and I do not own. Take that how you will.
