Re: The Book of Minions of Utgar
Whenever we play - no matter the size or style of map - someone chooses an army bristling with Minions. Their sculpts an their abilities/stats still keep them at the forefront of popular army choices - still an 'A' grade unit. I now have 5 squads of them - just because they are that much fun...

Re: The Book of Minions of Utgar
Last nights battle was great. I was fighting with the minions and some others. After a bad start on the first round lossing 1/4 of my army to glyph of minosoul. And rolling 1 for the A wolves.
My ememy used grimnak and charos. After a few rounds the wonder started. My minions on height 1 engaged with grimnak 2 engaged with charos. I rolled 3 dice and... 3 skulls (6) grimnak rolled 1 shield dead. Then charos again rolling 3 dice and 3 skulls (6) rolling 3 shield. 3 wounds last attack with 3the minion rolling 3 and. Yes again 3 skulls (6) charos rolls 2 shields 4 wounds extra turn after it again 3 skulls and again charos rolled 2 shields. Dead charos. Game ends with 300/1000 vs 0/1000 |

Re: The Book of Minions of Utgar
Rule #1 of fighting Minions: DON'T LET THEM GET HEIGHT.

Re: The Book of Minions of Utgar
That's good advice, but can be hard to carry out in practice. I ran a minion + Atlaga army at GenCon and it administered a severe beat-down on a Heavy Grut + Grimnak army run by a very good player (he's won some events there). He knew not to let the minions get height, but it happened anyway. With 5 move, they motor around even a large board very quickly.
The minions' biggest weakness is that they're not large, so Braxas and Stompy can tear them up with some decent luck on the d20. Since it's a high-cost, 3-figure army, killing just 4 or 5 puts a major dent in most armies. Again, though, if they get to those Queen pieces, the rest of the armies (Greenies and Grubs, probably) will fall apart. Since they're melee, rats would ruin their day, and they couldn't afford any disengages, either, since they're such a high-cost squad unit. Then again, rats ruin most armies' day. "It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission." |

Re: The Book of Minions of Utgar
Hello guys, don't know if the question has already been asked but I can't findt he answer anywhere. If the minions are all destroyed, can you play a turn with Runa/Taelord or not?
If you can explain the reasoning behind the answer that's a plus. |

Re: The Book of Minions of Utgar
As far as I my understanding goes, you cannot. Since there would be no Minions on the board, there aren't any to 'instead' with them. Need to have to ability to take a turn with them, before deciding not to.
