View Full Version : Theme Army Ratio

When playing with theme armies, typically 500-600 range, how many of each type of unit do you use when constructing them?
For example, if using an vydar blastatron/gladiatron army, how many squads of gladiatrons do you use and how many blastatrons? 3glad 2blast? 3 and 3? what?
Same goes for the elves and their archers and amazon elves. As well as einars spear men/riflemen.
These won't be the ENTIRE army, but just a good rule of thumb to use. Any suggestions?
(assume two to four of each type are owned)
Also, is there a master list of card erattas? Like Mimring los to his horn and deathreavers scatter only happening to enemies attacks? I'd hate to find out I was missing one.

As a general rule, you need a minimum of 2 common squads to be effective. 3 is ideal. For a 500 point army:
Einar
x3 Tagawa Archers
or x3 each of Spearmen/Riflemen
Ullar
x3 Aubrien Archers is effective
Vydar
x3 Blast/Gladiatrons
Utgar
x3 Arrow Gruts
x3 Swog Riders
This is an effective ranged squad
x3 Blade Gruts or
x2 Heavy Gruts
Grimnak
An effective melee squad

3x Arubian archers as opposed to how many WoA?
3 and 3?
And with the Gladiatrons/Blastatrons, I find that if I have an even number, the gladiatrons fall rather fast, leaving me with an overabundance of blastatrons. In that instance I can either charge a few of them (upping the attack of the remaining non adjacent ones with the homing device special power), or continue loosing gladiatrons and having the blastatrons effectiveness dwindle as time goes on.

I'm just suggesting what is the "norm" for tournament play. I don't ever recall seeing the WoA in competitive play, so I can't comment on them.

The Microcorp Agents are the exception. They kick butt even if you have only one squad.

Well that answers the Vydar theme one, I'd still like to know about the others.
And to get back to my other question...
Also, is there a master list of card erattas? Like Mimring los to his horn and deathreavers scatter only happening to enemies attacks? I'd hate to find out I was missing one.
YES, I quoted MYSELF
