Re: KC's 2nd Birthday Bash in Warren, OH - Army Auction Draf

Feel free to throw out some army ideas if you like, but there should be enough to cover you guys. It's kinda slim pickins out there amongst figures that haven't been used in an army yet, but if you come up with a good themed army using some of the guys I used in my "extra" armies, toss it in. For now, I'll add that EI army and "Bak from the Future" (good call, Bob) to the list to bring us to 50 armies. That covers 24 players, which is where I think we are. And Darkness - I was really going to enjoy bidding a bunch of money on that Cyprien army to watch you keep outbidding me, and then buying the Tron army. I look forward to finally playing you - I just hope its not one of the tournaments where I bring something crappy just to mess around and Cyprien tears through it. And, for the record, your dad beat me at NHSD. I really thought I had that game in the bag, too, but his Nakitas just refused to die. I guess that's what I get for one-shotting his Raelin in Alliance and having 3A-4D Spiders the whole game. 24 Players is a pretty darn big tournament for just a random monthly game day - maybe the biggest we've ever had outside of NHSD!!!

Re: KC's 2nd Birthday Bash in Warren, OH - Army Auction Draf
Update:
It looks like phantazm's girl is playing after all, so we have 25 players as of right now, if all of the Probables come. I added another map - Spring Thaw by Retlaw, that phantazm can also build. Since we may have an odd number of players here, I've been trying to think of ways to do the Bye. I think its going to be the Bye gets a Win, 400 Points and $20. I'm going to assume that most games are going to be over 400 Points with people hiring Mercs, so I wanted to give the Bye player a little bonus. Plus, in every Round except 1, the Bye will go to the last place player, so that extra money might help them hire the Merc they need to get back in it. Futhermore, players getting Byes in Rounds 1 and 2 miss out on the chance to go after the Money Glyph, so all-in-all I think the $20 is fair. If you get the Bye in Round 1, you're lucky to get the Win and $20 - that's what you get for having to sit and watch 45 minutes longer than you wanted to. You can't get more than one Bye, though. phantazm also said he can bring any units I need, so I'll update the list later this week with the stuff he doesn't have. For instance, I know he doesn't have any Trons, so Columbus guys - if you could bring those, that'd be great. Lastly, looks like we still need 2 more armies. If anyone wants to post a suggestion, feel free. I'll try and come up with 2 more from what's left also. I'm going to assume that everyone is cool with the army changes I proposed yesterday as well. EDIT: Here's an attempt... Jolly Green Giant Jotun - 225 Brandis Skyhunter - 315 Kelda - 395 $5 - 400, 4 hexes and Deathstalkers x3 + Some hero... DW7K would be thematic but I'm afraid the army would suck too hard. Any ideas? Like battle reports? Click Tourney Reports (New 10/21/2012 - Cutters / Brutes!)

Re: KC's 2nd Birthday Bash in Warren, OH - Army Auction Draf
This looks to be a fun day & I wish I could be there. I wish you all well.
Might I suggest... Watery Death Wa Sa Ga 135 2x Water Elemental 2x Death Stalkers Almost all the maps have some form of water, so it could have a little advantage. Another would be.. Utgar Pod Torin 120 Z Guards 190 KMS (warwitch) 320 Thorigrim 400 Torin would deter range & KMS would scare malee. The guards benefit from everyone.

Re: KC's 2nd Birthday Bash in Warren, OH - Army Auction Draf
Not including suggestions in the last couple posts, this is who I see as left:
Air Elemental Armoc Vipers Brandis Skyhunter Concan the Kyrie Warrior Deadeye Dan Deathstalkers Dumutef Guard Estivara Finn the Viking Champion Jotun Kee-Mo-Shee Kelda the Kyrie Warrior Kozuke Samurai Major X17 Morsbane Obsidian Guards Raelin the Kyrie Warrior (v2) Runa Saylind the Kyrie Warrior Sgt. Drake Alexander (v1) Shades of Bleakwoode Syvarris Thorgrim the Viking Champion Torin Water Elemental Wo-Sa-Ga Of that You could do: Shoot Em In the Air: Air Elemental x 2 = 60 Brandis Skyhunter = 150 Deadeye Dan = 210 Sgt. Drake Alexander (v1) = 320 Saylind or Kelda = 400 Superstalkers: Deathstalkers x 2 = 200 Torin = 320 Thorgrim = 400 Soul Drain Major X17 = 100 Morsbane = 200 Shades of Bleakwoode x 2 = 400 Charge & Cover Kozuke Samurai = 100 Syvarris = 200 Runa = 320 Finn = 400 Waterworld: Wo-Sa-Ga = 135 Raelin the Kyrie Warrior (v2) = 255 Water Elemental x 5 = 405 Edit: And there are always Marvel Figures! I think Captain America should go with Drake and others, and Spidey or Venom would make good additions. Or how about Hulk or Thanos as a one-man team P.S. While I have all your attention, look at my Trade Post and see if you want to do any trades at the tourney.

In that case, we definitely need some more armies. With all of those players, that puts us at 27, which means we need 56 armies. I think it can be done without reusing any figures, but some of the fat in the armies is gonna need trimmed off. And, I'm going to reuse the Venoc Warlord for 5 reasons: 1) He wears awesome mittens of doom 2) It's my birthday, and he's my favorite hero 3) I have 2 of him 4) His name is generic. I mean, there's probably more than one Venoc Warlord anyway, right? 5) The Armoc Vipers don't really make sense in an army without him So, we can now make: Snake Charmer 2.0: Venoc Warlord - 120 Armoc Vipers x3 - 315 Brandis Skyhunter - 405 ($5) - 400 I made the following changes to the army pool to try and sure up some armies and free up some other figures: - Swapped Raelin with Concan in the Sentinel army. I think Concan fits better there thematically anyway, and we weren't gonna find another place for him - Swapped Isamu, Shiori and Otonashi with the Kozuke Samurai in the Ninja army. At least they're still Asian, and that allowed me to re-add Isamu to Smoke and Mirrors as requested, and give Skahen a Tricky figure to move around in Vydar's Renowned. - Swapped Brunak with Dzu-Teh x1 and a Water Elemental in Fire and Ice, and renamed it Ice, Ice, Baby!. That gives us Brunak to work into a new army, possibly with Obsidian Guards. - Swapped Erevan and Sharwin with Raelin and Syvarris in Double Date. That army was just hideous before, and now with Raelin and a long-range threat it should stand a chance. - Swapped DW7K and the Dumutef for Deathreavers x3. lefton4ya, I really did like your idea better, but now I feel like we need the Zettian Guards to go with Torin in another army. Using Rats x3 frees up the Zettians, makes the army competitive, and ensures that people don't have to pay a fee to buy Deathwalkers. - added Snake Charmer 2.0 Additional 5 armies: We Can Take the Heat Brunak - 110 Obsidian Guards x2 - 310 Fire Elemental x2 - 380 $20 - 400, 10 hexes I'm going to add another lava map to the pool since we need a map, and these guys would be a force to reckon with on one of them. I almost did Obsidians x3, but I didn't like charging a fee for this army. Staredown Torin - 120 Zettian Guards - 190 Estivara - 270 Kee-Mo-Shi - 400, 6 hexes I think these figures make up a decent pod around Torin, and present a lot of different threats. Should be interesting at least. Windy Wilderness Raelin the Kyrie Warrior (SotM) - 120 Sharwin Wildborn - 230 Erevan Sunshadow - 310 Air Elemental x3 - 400, 6 hexes A little stretch on theme here, but there is the Raelin / Air Elemental Whirlwind theme going on, and Wildborn and Sunshadow kinda have some nature connotations. The point was to get some ranged attackers backed by Raelin behind a screen of Swirling Vortex. Raelin SotM provides a multiple attacker and also enough range to protect both heroes and the Elementals. The right Mercenary could make this army a pain to deal with (Krav, anyone?), and there are a lot of melee armies in the pool that get shut down by the Elementals. Bash Brothers Jotun - 225 Crixus - 315 Kelda the Kyrie Warrior - 395 $5 - 400, 4 hexes Two tanks with big sticks that Kelda can heal. Again, the right Mercenary could make this army pretty formidable, I think. I wouldn't want to face it after someone hired Q10, for instance. Deathborgs 2.0 Deathstalkers x3 - 300 Deathwalker 7000 - 400, 19 hexes I was going to use Wookie's army above, but then decided to use the Water Elemental in Ice, Ice, Baby! and the Fire Elemental is We Can Take the Heat because I didn't like charging a fee for either the Fire or Ice armies (the Ice army could've been GIE x2, Dzu-Teh x2, but then its $10 over and a worse army, I think). This one sticks with theme and has still some decent matchups in the pool. Anything heavy on heroes is probably in trouble here. It also strengthens the Omnicron army, since there's another Soulborg army in the pool. I think I will also bring lefton4ya's Soul Drain with me. I think that army is probably in some danger against most other armies in the pool, but its really tough on heroes and I want to have an extra army on hand in case we get another player I'm not expecting. I thought about the Marvel figures too, and figured they would be a last resort. Silver Surfer+Thorgrim is pretty mean, as is something like Cap+Drake+Saylind. I'll throw them in my box to use if we need even more armies, though I'd like to avoid them. I really never thought we'd get to the point where we were running out of figures to use in armies! I'm sorry if I seem like I'm not using people's ideas.... I'm just trying as best I can to give every army a fighting chance, keep to theme, and get enough armies into the pool. I also need to get a list of figures I need to borrow out to phantazm and the Columbus guys today to make sure we have everything. Like battle reports?

Re: KC's 2nd Birthday Bash in Warren, OH - Army Auction Draf
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR
THOSE COMING!!! I talked with Greg (owner of All-American) yesterday. The Relay for Life is being held in Warren this weekend, so you won't be able to park on the streets in front of the store. I think most of you have used the parking deck behind the store before - that's where you'll have to park. There's a door to get into All American through the back, which will be open. Come in that way, and the tournament will be straight down the stairs in the same place we held NHSD. DO NOT park in front of the store. I don't know what they'll do with cars parked there before the Relay starts, so please go around to the back and park in the deck. Like battle reports?

Re: KC's 2nd Birthday Bash in Warren, OH - Army Auction Draf
Yeah, I just triple-posted. Do somethin'!!
Here is what I hope is the final list of figures I need people to bring for me. I'll list out the stuff I think phantazm is bringing separately. If someone can post saying they'll bring the other stuff, I'd really appreciate it (I know the Columbus guys said they could help out - if you can, that's great!) I NEED SOMEONE TO BRING!!!!!: Gladiatrons x3 (with Army Card) Blastatrons x3 (with Army Card) Marro Drones x4 Templar Cavalry x1 Sacred Band x2 Armoc Vipers x2 phantazm can bring: Fyorlag Spiders x1 Zelrig (Army Card only - I lost mine) Deathreavers x2 Sentinels of Jandar x1 Shaolin Monks x1 Ashigaru Yari x2 Ashigaru Harquebus x2 Roman Legionaries x1 Roman Archers x1 Marcu Esenwein (figure only - mine betrayed me) Heavy Gruts x1 Dzu-Teh x1 Obsidian Guards x1 Blade Gruts x1 Arrow Gruts x1 I should have everything else. Also, I added the map Swamp Gas by mad_wookiee. I needed a SotM + Lava map, and that one has a glyph that will work well for the Money Glyph. Thanks to everyone for helping out with figures, suggestions and ideas! This tourney has gotten much bigger than I thought it would be, which is awesome! Like battle reports?

I think you made the right choice in switching armies - thanks for taking the time to think of this. I think if we can use almost all the figures in separate roughly 400-point armies this definitely needs to go in a thread somewhere so others can use it too. I was thinking of coming up with 600 point armies for all the figs I own (about 80% of all - no wave 3/4/6 squads or what is on my want list) and I think these should be a valuable resource for people other than this tourney. Also, just to re-ask: Do we not have to let others know our mercs until after we bid? Just in case I bring an extra 50 or 100 point common squad or a hero where someone can tell which army my mercinary goes with best, I do not want them to bid me up or stop me from taking it.

So yeah - if I bring Sir Denrick as my 100 Point Mercenary (and I might...), I don't have to tell the other players, because they might very well try to bid me up on the Knights, Macdirks, or 4th Mass because they know I have a Merc that synergizes with them. This might be a good time to point out to some players possible Mercs that have synergy with some armies out there, to encourage people to think outside the box a bit and not just bring MWs/Krav/Q10: Valiant Mercs: Jorhdawn Sir Denrick Sir Dupuis Disciplined Mercs: Sacred Band Roman Legionaires Kozuke Samurai Marcus Decimus Gallus Mercs that Bond: Me-Burq-Sa Nerak Marcus Decimus Gallus Morsbane (Jorhdawn and Arkmer do, too, but they're already in the army) Ornak Sir Denrick Tornak Wyvern I won't give away anything else. There are lots and lots of other really nice synergies out there that the Mercs have (for everyone only considering Q10 and Cyprien at 150 - there are 3 different armies in the pool that have Knights in them to boost Sir Dupuis' attack, and he's Valiant!), and I'm probably choosing at least one of my Mercs to try and take advantage of some of them.
