Re: The Book of the Greenscale Warriors
My guess: B+. Unfortunately I didn't proxy theses guys, but the Dragon bonding is a force to be reconed wwith. Probabaly shoot up when Lezardfolk Arrive.
Without dark, there is no light. Without bad HScape figs, there are no good ones. Dund is important, therefore |

Re: The Book of the Greenscale Warriors
My guess is an A-
almost all the dragons are already a force, with a cheap bonding squad, they will be monsters!(non pun). Possible of 6 attacks with nilfheim, solid melée with charos, common squad slaughters with zelrig, mimring, and braxxas, Othkurik could do well to. Solid melée, solid A- or maybe even A Last edited by dart48; March 23rd, 2010 at 10:47 PM. |

Re: The Book of the Greenscale Warriors
Very good question. My guess would be after the draft is complete, before OMs are placed. It's as good an answer as any, as far as I can think.

Re: The Book of the Greenscale Warriors
I played these guys the other day against Penopticon, I played:
Greenscalesx3 Charos Kaemon Eldgrim vs. Venocs(?) Venoc warlord Spiders(?) Wyvern Estivara I'm not sure how many venocs and spiders he had but we both had 540 point armies. Anyway, I used Kaemon to take his Vipers down early then started rolling in with the greenscales. One weakness I noticed is you really have to be careful of leaving guys behind because if your king gets too far away from your start zone greenscales they are sitting ducks to get taken out. It was a lot of fun and truthfully I thought I was going to win handily (until my d20 curse hit me). By d20 curse I mean almost anytime someone rolls a d20 instant kill ability against me it works, hehe. No lie, I think my opponents are 5/6 right now. I had all venocs dead and only lost 3 greenscales and he moved Estivara forward and rolled 3 skulls on Charos, inflicting 2 wounds. The he rolled for poison and got another wound, then rolled a 20. Needless to say I ended up losing horribly after that. Once you lose the dragon the greenscales are almost useless, hehe. Still though, it was alot of fun and I know it wasn't a "normal" occurence (at least not for other people). |

Re: The Book of the Greenscale Warriors
So, an 80 pt figure did that to Charos?! I can never seem to do anything like that with Sudema, and I have played her more often than I care to count...

Re: The Book of the Greenscale Warriors
Haven't played with these guys yet, but I recieved mine in the mail and will play tonight, with further analysis in the near future!
I forsee the biggest problem with these guys is the same thing that comes from any melee squad without a special ranged defense. The dragon that comes with them is definitely powerful, and the greenscales make the dragons a much more viable tournament pick, but the greenscales themselves are vunerable to the same thing that any melee army is. Rats, a blast/glad combo, and of course the upcoming air elemental screen with range are all problematic with this build. In short, all we got in the end was a sort of Knights of Weston with one fewer squad member, matching atk/def when only near their king, but a faster move to keep up with the king. The bonus trade-off, however, is that they bond with a FREAKING DRAGON!, most of which are far more powerful individually than the available human champions. Jesus Saves! ......everyone else takes full damage. |

Re: The Book of the Greenscale Warriors
I hit Stare of Stone on a full-life Charos in a tournament, then I got Krug in the next game (report is in the link in my sig). It was awesome.

Re: The Book of the Greenscale Warriors
I tried the Greenscales with Nilfheim, Braxas, Charos, Zelrig, Mimring and Othkurik. I tried them against a few armies that included 4th Mass army (with Thorgrim), Minions/Atlaga and Q9/Raelin/KMA/Rats.
These were my observations:

Re: The Book of the Greenscale Warriors
Great stuff, Rich10.
I think Mimring is better with Arrow Gruts. Like you say, he needs to hop around and snipe, and the greenscales are almost in the way in stead of acting as a good screen. The Braxas armies have gotten less discussion than the others, but I think it has a lot of promise. When I was theoryscaping that build, I said that the worst thing you could say about it was that it has to kill Q9 with attacks of 3. That appears to be more or less confirmed by your playtesting. I could imagine that on some maps, you could fly out with Zelrig for a quick bomb while the Greenscales take a glyph or choke-point, then retreat with Zelrig and allow something else (stingers?) to take over. I could see Zelrig, GWx2, Stingersx3 being decent. Or even just toss in GWx1 for free glyph-grabbing. That said, I basically agree that the GW can't be your main offensive force alongside Zelrig. |
