Re: The Book of Minions of Utgar

I've had a lot of fun with

Minions x2 - 220 (1 squad proxied by Emperium which doesn't actually look as good but...)
Runa - 120
Sgt Drake Sotm - 160

Compact army that really packs a punch.

Just when you thought it was all right, someone made it alright.

Good trades with - Porkins / xraine69 / mac122 (x2) / frylock / Ztimster (x2) and probably others I forgotten to mention...sorry.

Maybe that's why I do better with that army than normal.

Edit: We gotta start using the official cards again. Our recreations obviously have issues.

Re: The Book of Minions of Utgar

Took these guys out for a spin earlier today (I always use the figures I newly acquire ASAP). Was a standard 400 point game. I ran Taelord, Minions x2 against my brothers Samurai pod. Kaemon awa, tagawa samurai and T.S archers x2 (added Theracus for filler). And wow I was shocked at the results I really thought the samurai would clean house. To my surprise it was just the opposite. With Taelords Aura they were near unstoppable. In round one Kaemon shot down 2 minions with one OM. As my units were still out of range to attack and advancing..that would be the last kills he had for the rest of the game. From then on it was a massacre. I managed to get my minions on height while still benefiting from Taelords Aura. Even with counter strike, nothing mattered. They ripped Kaemon apart inside of 1 round and dismantled the T.Samurai just as easy. Didn't stand a chance. I finally got too see how powerful these guys really are...and WOW was I impressed.

Re: The Book of Minions of Utgar

Round 2 proxy. Paired the same army above plus Runa for 520 PTS vs. one of my personal favorite armies. Braxas, rhodgar, green scales x2, black Wyrmling x2 500 total. I thought this would be a fairly good match up. As long as I could engage braxas quickly and take her down. Well this didn't happen and as most of might have guessed...Braxas dominated the board. I was hoping towards the end I could pull some magic off with Runa...no such luck, wasn't close. At then end braxas had 2 wounds (a few were healed by R.D.S), rhodgar wasn't touched and three green scales remained. ----> Domination...

Re: The Book of Minions of Utgar

Yea, Braxas is probably one of the minions' worst matchups, considering their point cost and high defense vs the queen's chances to melt 2-3 of them per turn, due to no defense dice involved with her power.

On a side note, Runa probably won't do much for you in the average game

Absolutely, I think Braxas is probably the VERY worst matchup conceivable for the minions. Even with a slight point advantage they all got slaughtered. My plan to engage Braxas quickly failed as they could not get past the Green Scale screen. Flying is great, but that move of 4 really slows them down

Re: The Book of Minions of Utgar

Try using Atlaga instead of Runa. The movement boost helps the Minions more than any other kyrie, IMO.

Re: The Book of Minions of Utgar

I must ditto Hogg's recommendation of Atlaga. With 5 move, the Minions are STRONG.

However...I have played my last tournament with them. Invariably, they blow away my opponent, or drop like flies. My best finish was 5th in a field of 53 with 3x Minions, Atlaga, Marro Warriors, Marcu, and Isamu.

Re: The Book of Minions of Utgar

How many squads of MoU do you guys shoot for in your collection? I just found I had 5 squads. I like big point C3G games (heroes vs. Utgar is always fun) but still, 5 squads might be too many since these guys are a little pricey.

WoW customs - I'd love to get some awesome looking WoW minis on my Heroscape maps. Please lend me your expert advice.

Re: The Book of Minions of Utgar

For collecting purposes, I shoot for 5 of everything. As for army building, I find that x3 of most squads is plenty.

Wow, Anubian retiring the Minions. Dallas gamedays will never be the same...
