Einar/Utgar Army

[Mindfreak]

I had an Idea for an Utgar and Einar Army (they're allies ... right?).

Sonya Esenwien 50 points
Rechets of Bogdan 50 points
Grimnak 120 points
Izumi Samarai 60 points
Marcu Esenwien 20 points
Kozuke Samarai 100 points
Dumtef Guard 25 points
Zettian Guards 70 points

Total 495 points

... any ideas? :mrgreen:

I'm curious about your thoughts on it. I'm not seeing much synergy, personally, or range for that matter. I'm confused about the inclusion of the Dumutef when dropping the Dumutef and Marcu gives you enough points for Grut Orcs (which bond with Grimnak) and Isamu.

~Aldin, thinking that Ashigaru Arquebusers would be a good ranged compliment to the Utgar melee in an Utgar/Einar army

I think you mean Iskra, not Sonya. And I think you suffer from too many Army Cards and too many filler characters and unique squads who will lead to wasted order markers.

What about:
Iskra/rechets 100
Kozuke 100
Kaemon Awa 120
Samurai archers x2 130
choice of Marro Warriors or Me-Burq-Sa 50
=500 points?

If you won't reduce the number of cards, at least consider a bigger range component, such as swapping in Kaemon Awa for Grimnak and ditching the Dumutef in favor of Guilty.

No worries, mate. And not trying to catch you out, just trying to understand what you were trying to accomplish. Mebbe a quick list of what you do have?

sniffle sniffle ... OK sorry about the full emotinal breakdown...
Ive got RotV, Ninja and Samari, Gladiators and agents,Road to Forgotten Foresst, Fortess of Arch Kyrie,Fiends and vampires, and Heroes of Linders farme.

Okay then, we're working with:
Iskra/Rechets
Marcu
Gladiators
Ninjas & Samurai
RotV Utgar/Einar

The biggest hurdle for an Einar/Utgar army is absence of many Einar choices. Also, most of what you do have is pretty specialized in usage. We'll pick a couple of fun units and then see how to blend them with Utgar:

Ninjas 100
Crixus 90

That will suit for some melee combat ability. We need a bit of range:

Mimring 150
Marro Warriors 50

Mimring's ranged attack can be very impressive and the Marros are solid for 50 points. Now we have 110 points with which to play:

Iskra 50
Rechets 50

Another set of fun choices, I hope. So for 490 you get:

Mimring
Marro Warriors
Ninjas
Crixus
Iskra
Rechets

The plan depends on the opponent, but early on you will probably want to have the Marro Warriors grab some height and then negotiate the important terrain with the Ninjas. Mimring offers highly mobile sniping from the edges. Crixus serves in an anti-hero capacity. Iskra and the Rechets (wasn't that an '80s glam band?) serve as a shock force.

~Aldin, wishing you good gaming

Aldin, the ninjas are 110, so your army is an even 500.

I have not played with them yet, but I'm not sure I believe that Iskra/Rechets are that much better than the Kozuke. As ranged figures, Mimring and Marros are pretty much a lock unless we want to scrape the bottom of the barrel for the worst robots in the game, so what about:

150 Mimring
050 Marro Warriors
110 Ninjas
100 Kozuke Samurai
090 Crixus

I think just running right in there with the Kozuke would work better than waiting for the summon to go off.

The original idea of my army was the Samurai and Rechects would attack the heroes ( because of Lethal Sting and counter strike) Grimnak would attack squads (because of Chomp) Iskra and Marcu would find Glyphs (flying)Dumtef would help the Rechets and Marcu, and the guards would defend Grimnak And Marcu ( Who has a defense of one).
