Can anyone help me pick a Gencon group?

So you like figures such as Alexander? I might be able to make an army for you.
I'm not the best competitive army builder,but I can get some ideas for you to play with.
By the way,arp12 is right. People like others that have a good quality. Triple posting or higher just annoys people.

Also,can you give us all the names and how many of each sets you have?

Let me try to present you with some points to consider.

1) Tell your dad you have 1st choice on characters. You are the better player, and he can't remember any of the special abilities anyway.

2) If he still pulls rank on you, maybe we can work something out. (The Vydar group seems popular.)

3) I thought you were a frenzy man? Percentages are bad, but when they hit it gets crazy.

4) Try mixing it up with you Dad to fine tune your choice. See how your test armies work on a couple of different boards.

If you need to remind your Dad who got the gen-con piece for him the last couple of years. If that doesn't work ask him if he is
ready for some more Munckin this year.

the funny thing is, all that is true

I played a practice game (using AE), and when my dad read it he thought it was just too good. Let me get this straight about the grenade effect: you can target 4 figures, and each time you target a figure all adjacent units are affected? Please reply (my dad keeps bugging me to ask this)

I believe this is correct. If you can get the AE to drop, they are devastating.

But remember, the grenades are only good in the early rounds when they're lots of figures clumped up. And even then, sometimes it's better to use the 4 attacks of 4(on height) which can be absolutely devastating. If they don't drop early, you'll want to drop them a bit farther back, in a more defensive position so they can stay around longer. Played well, the AE can dominate a game and give you a win practically by themselves..

Also, in my opinion, Sonya is a must in a Cyprien army. I would really consider taking her. Sonya's boost doesn't just give you an extra 10% of a chance to hit Chilling Touch, it also boosts the amount of wounds you get when you hit it. (For example, if you role an 18, you would normally inflict 3 wounds. With Chilling Touch, you will now inflict 6 wounds. The way Cyprien's ability works really makes Sonya's boost valuable, and I would definitely take her.

thanks, and by the way, when i played against my dad, the first time it killed raelin and 1 group he just added cause he had extra points (worth 60 pts.). Plus, I figured that out about sonya. After a little practicing, I think I've got my team:

krav maga 100
AE 110
Cyprein 150
Sonya 45 (sorry, this is what I meant; instead of 3 sets of deathreavers[only 2])
x2 Deathreavers 80

(hopefully I will get multiples of: deathreavers, marro drones, marro stingers, marro dividers, venoc vipers, 4th mass. line, mohican river tribe)

quick question: about the jungle set. To get the def boost, does your figure's base have to be below the base or height of the plant?

No only adjacent to it.

Treat the jungle brush or tree the same way you would another figure when determining adjacency.

do the instructions mean the base of the tree or the height of the tree?

according to the thread, it is the base, according to the rules it is the height. Which is it?

It is just like any other figure. If Jotun here standing where the tree is, and you'd be adjacent to him, then you are adjacent to the tree.
