HS master Set Armies

[Rodriquez]

ok let me repost this as I lost the info I had gotten from HQ went poof.

who/what would ye use in a 400 point master set only army?
I have a specific reason for asking this so any input is appreciated.

cheers

First off, grab the Krav Maga Agents. Then how about: Carr, the Izumi Samurai, the Tarn Vikings and Raelin. Or skip the last two and substitute the Airborne Elite.

You'd be hard-pressed to go wrong with some combo of the Airborne Elite, Sgt. Drake, Krav Maga or the Izumi Samurai. :wink:

[Rÿchean]

if you are playing with one MS...

If player one has Krav, AE, Drake and Raelin..

well...I feel sorry for player two.....;-)

[Rodriquez]

well this is along same lines as my HQ thread..
yer 400 pt. army can only consist of MS Fiqures

I used The Suprisingly Tart Heroscape Draft Wizard and did 3 Armies of 400 each, containing only MS figures. Check them out, they don't seem too bad.

Syvarris
Ne-Gok-Sa
Raelin the Kyrie Warrior
Airborne Elite
380

Agent Carr
Tarn Viking Warriors
Mimring
Izumi Samurai
360

Deathwalker 9000
Zettian Guards
Marro Warriors
Krav Maga Agents
360

Yeah, what he said.

I didn't even mention the Marros in my other post. There's a great cheap ranged squad with 4 figs. Grab high ground with 3 of them and leave 1 standing in the water someplace safe in the rear of your army. Let it clone to it's little heart's content! I know a lot of folks dislike the Vikings, but Master Set-wise, they deliver a lot of combat ability, stay alive pretty well, and if you can roll a d20 well, can cover ground very rapidly. They're good glyph-guarders, or a unit to eliminate the KM.

that above army would be what won me that last game; 3way FFA against you and Ninthdoc, Rodiquez. :-D

Well if you get Krav Maga agents be sure to get Finn or Thorgrim, or get both, be sure to send them out first to get killed, so their spirit aura thing goes into affect, maybe add Raelin, this way if your opponent uses distance it will be darn near impossible to hit them. :horsepoo: :banana:

[Smeagol10041]

Drake, Kravs, Marrow, and the izumi are a must for me

[Sparky]

Can I ask a total n00b question? Since we got our second MS, there's the prospect of using two of the same common in one army. So. Are they considered the same unit for the purposes of movement markers? In other words, if I'm moving four figures in a single turn with one MS, am I moving all eight (or more, if I've got, say, six MSs) in the same turn? I know, I know, that's probably a VERY basic question, but as much reading as I've done, I haven't seen it in a FAQ (or I don't remember seeing it, rather).

You can only have one of each "unique" hero or squad in your army; all the units in the Master Set are uniques, so you're not allowed to draft a duplicate of something you've already picked.

Oops. Didn't realize that - thanks for the clarification. Okay, what about commons?
