I love these bad boys! I finally got a second set of these and it's awsome. They took out Kaemon Awa, Raelin, and Q10 all with 1 squad's worth of attacks. Thay are my second favorite squade naxt to thae Tagawa Samurai.

Does anyone know if their Deadly Strike applies to passing swipes? Reading the rules very strictly, it sounds like it doesn't, but I'm curious what others think.
"... the opponent's figure may take a 'leaving engagement attack' at your figure. To do this, the player who controls the opponent's figure rolls one die to attack. If a skull is rolled, your figure takes one wound." |

Rev is correct. The same was asked about the Snipers not too long ago.

I already posted this army in the 500 point thread, but since I saw the book of Minions up here, I wanted to throw it out there. I really dig this army. I've played two games now and done really well.
Minions of Utgar x3 Warden 816 Zettian Guards Isamu Equals 500 points and I have a lot of fun with this one. My Deathwalkers climb. |

No love for Runa in whole book... at least so far.
Utgar's Orders really does make Runa a dangerous character. If Runa flies in just ahead of the rest of her army, engages a hero and starts attacking and Mitonsouling, what are you going to do? Leave her alone and come closer to the minions AND let her keep trying Mitonsoul? Stay put and attack her to avoid her D20 and possibly let the Minions catch up? Either choice poses some nasty potential consequences. Utgar's Orders with Runa offers some nice versatility with a squad that is already strong in attack and defense, and a hero that has the capability to change the game with a good roll. It's a really underrated power, especially with Runa. Like battle reports? Click Tourney Reports (New 10/21/2012 - Cutters / Brutes!) KC's Maps Click KC's Customs Scaper of the Week #57 |

The problem is you really need to get that good roll, or else that 120 points isn't going to do much. That doesn't mean you can't build a good army with that core, though.

I want to love these guys; but my set must be cursed. I cannot seem to roll any defense dice for them. Every time I draft them, they swoop in only to be gunned down by ranged units, outfought by some brawler, or even whipped by support units. I've lost a whole unit to original Raelin for goodness sake.
But they're just so cooooool. |

Last night I had a great time playing this army:
2 x Minions Taelord Marro Warriors Deathreavers Isamu (which, of course, means "ten points" in Japanese) |
