Minion Army

[BigM414]

Ok I'm sure this has been tryed before, but I'm participating in a tourney here in about two weeks and I was wondering what everybody thought about this army. Thanks.

X2 Minions 220
Taelord 400
Raelin V1 480

That's all I have so far. Now for a 500 point army I'm wondering if it'd be better to put Marcu Esenwein in or Isamu and Otanashi? Or should I replace somebody? Then for 600 points what should I use. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This belongs there; you probably won't get a whole lot of response while it's in the custom section. Might ask a mod to move it for you?

Ohh dang. Ok thanks man.

Okay army....wrong spot. You should probably have put this in he competative armies forum.
Raelin is not the best for this build seeing as the minions are already tough...some strong range support is the key for this build right now...since you have Taelord...the Omicron Snipers would make a decent range support.
Minions x2 220
Taelord 400 (180)
Omnicron Snipers 500 (100)
500/10
For 600 points just add another squad of snipers.
Good luck!



Edit. Ninja'd...I am not a fast enough typer...oh well...

Yeh I know sorry I guess I didn't look hard enough... :P Thanks for the advice man, I'm definately going to try that out. Maybe make my broher hate my annoying army even more. lol

I don't like just one squad of Snipers. If it were me, I'd use Krav Maga and at 600 points add Agent Carr as an Assassin type.

I don't like playing Taelord with Minions competitively, especially with Raelin. It's just too tough to keep those auras going.

If you want to keep Raelin, I'd replace Taelord with maybe a Fen Hydra, and then you have 80 Points leftover for either Deathreavers x2 or Kelda. Either way, Hydra + Minions x2 is a scary army core for any army to come up against. I like how the Hydra is strong against Braxas, who is the Minions' biggest pain in the butt. So...

Minions x2 - 220
Raelin - 300
Fen Hydra - 420
Kelda / Deathreavers x2 - 500, 10/17 hexes

3 x Minons, 330
Atlaga 420
Raelin 500

This is a smallish army, but it packs alot of punch. The minions would be fairly fast with 5 move fly, and would be protected by 8 def in the start zone. Every 3 ~ 4 turns you could move Raelin to back up the Big lugs.

Atlaga is a decent clean up figure, and You could get lucky with the Bolt at the right time. Never underestmate Ranged Flying.

Killometer suggested using Torin with the Minions, as Evil Eye protection plays nicely with the high defense of the Minions.

Torin 120
Minions x3 450
MW 500
15 spaces

Torin 120
Minions x3 450
Raelin 530
12 spaces

Torin 120
Minions x2 340
Atlaga 430
MW 480
Marcu 500
14 spaces

[Chilling Touch]

I reccomend:
Minions (2)- 220/500
PK's (2)- 360/500
Fen Hydra- 480/500
Marcu- 500/500

PK's go out first and wreck havoc among ranged squads.
Fen Hydra goes next and takes out stronger heroes and some bonding squads.
Minions follow up, trying to gain high ground.
Marcu is cleanup.

Optional to switch Hydra for Torin.

This army works wonders for me, but be careful of Grimnak, Braxas, Orthunk, and the seventh.

Torin 120
Minions x2 340
Atlaga 430
MW 480
Marcu 500

For the last 70 points I would take the Zettian Gaurds over MW & Marcu. At 600, add in the Warden and Isamu.
