Note that the attacks are not halved; just the ranges are!

Oops. My bad...all ranged unit's range is halved.

5 x Brutes, 2 x Goblins, Isamu
8 x FE, Kurrok, Isamu
4 x Blades, Rae, Grim, Nerak
7 x WoA, Arkmer
5 x 10th, Earth Elemental
Charos, 3 x GS, Marcu
7 x Vipers, VW, Isamu

This one does away with range which could be a problem even with range, special attacks, and aura cut in half:

Torin 120
Minions x2 220
Phantom Knights 70

No real synergy except for evil eye protection and ability to fly around the map.

These are possible armies for the Nebraska Skirmish V Fog of War tournament. All range, auras, special attacks, are cut in half and rounded up.

Minions x2 220
Phantom Knights 290
Krug 410

In a previous post I thought about this army but with Torin instead of
Krug. The Fog of War does not affect flight. What are your thoughts?

I have played Minions many times in a tournament setting - twice at NHSD events in DFW. YMMV, but without Atlaga, these guys are just too slow. Too slow to develop, too slow to reinforce once you are in the battle. My optimum mix is generally 3x Minions + Atlaga = 420.

That said, 2x Minions + Atlage + cleanup might be fun...for you, not you opponents.

Well met!

[It is my understanding that the ranges of Attacks, Special and Normal, and Auras are halved, not their values. That being the case . . . ]

I'd expect to face squad heavy melee armies, so . . .

210 Braxas
120 Kaemon
80 Deathreavers x 2
410, 11 spaces

120 Kaemon or Raelin SotM
110 Ninjas of the Northern Wind
100 Kozuke
80 Deathreavers x 2
410, 15 spaces

185 Nilfeim
140 Frost Giant or Phantom Knights x 2
80 Deathreavers x 2 or Kumiko
410, 11 or 9 spaces

130 Tagawa Samurai Archers x 2
120 Raelin SotM
80 Kumiko
80 Deathreavers x 2
410, 16 spaces

220 Tor-Kul-Na
100 Kozuke
90 Nagrubs x 3
410, 14 spaces

However, note that in this Fog of War tournament, with all range halved, this is less of an issue.

The Minions have a threat range (move + range) of 5. They can move to and attack anyone within 5 spaces of their starting position. This means that to attack one without it being able to reach and engage you on the next turn, you have to have a range of 6. Normally this is quite achievable, but with Fog of War rules, you need a starting range of 12. A unit with range 12 is, as of this writing, nonexistent. So if an opponent's unit can take a shot at you, there's a guarantee of you being able to attack it back next turn (given you survive the opponent's attack). I think Minions are very viable in this Fog of War tournament.

I dont have a ton of figures but I do have all the figures for this army:

Nilfheim
Phantom Knights x2
Deathreavers x2

I think I even have a Frost Giant.

Thanks for the army ideas.

[heroscaper2010]

PK x4 280
Torin 400
Isamu 10
________
410pts/15hex

[Omahavice]

Well I got to try out this army:

Minions x2
Phantom Knights
Krug

against

Shaolin Monks x5
Isamu

We played 2 games and those stupid Bruce Lee wanna-bees swarmed me with Stealth Leap and their multi-figure adjacent attack. Krug and the minions held their own for awhile killing all but 1 squad of the monks. I dont think that the PKs got more than 1 kill each game.

[Omahavice]

Here is another one that I think has the potential to do pretty good:

Kaemon Awa 120
KMA 220
AE 330
Deathreavers x2 410

[Major Q23]

Death Chasers of Thesk x3
Ogre Pulverizer x2
Swog Rider
Marcu Esenwien
