Would that theme be "Good artists borrow, great artists steal"?

Here's a pretty versatile army, the only problem some may have with this build is no special attacks:

Red & Green Kyrie Supreme

Taelord
Atlaga
Minions x2
Protectors x2
Isamu
720/15 hexes

[Eraguy816]

Nice armys but i have,
KoW x4 280
Sir Denrick 380
Sir Gilbert 485
10th regament of foot x3 710
And isamu

That's 31 hexes the limit is 24.

For a long time I was planning on bringing

Stingers x6
Braxas
Q10
720/22

because it splits so elegantly into two 360 point factions without any filler, but because Wannok was in the glyph pool I wanted to work in Marcu, so today I fielded

Stingers x5
Braxas
Q9
Marcu
Isamu
720/21

Not quite as pretty, but a bit tougher. And thanks to an unusually cold d20 (that die usually loves me-I've never been burned as much by Drain as I was today ), I needed the extra beef Q9 brought.

Hey, I had isamu in there too, he just didn't ever really do much, except sacrifice himself to wannok in one game, and occasionally carry the x order marker.

[Carnival Man]

I had:

Cyprien
Sonya
Kaemon Awa
Ninja of the NW
Phantom Knights x4
Isamu

Cyprien was a total dud, I rolled damage for chilling touch only 3 times over all 5 matches...

Tysheron had:

Ornak
Grimnak
Tornak
Nerak
DW 9K
Feral Troll
Heavy Gruts x2

Full list of armies for all 19 players, ranked by how well they did in the tourney, are now posted.

Please join us there for analysis/discussion. Some of the results were pretty unexpected, I thought.

[Eraguy816]

KoW X4/ 280
Finn the Viking Champion/ 360
Sir Denrick/ 460
Sir Gilbert/ 565
Sir Dupuis/ 715
715/ 21 spaces

[Son of Arathorn]

A somewhat decent army:

Phantom Knights x5- 350
Sir Dupuis- 150
Major Q9- 180
Eldgrim- 30
Isamu- 10
720 points, 20 hexes.

We all know that the Krav, the 4th Mass, and anything else that outs its faith in long, powerful ranged attacks fear the Phantom Knights. I've played against an army with 5 squads before, it's not pretty for range or melee. Once you sufficiently engage the enemy with the PK's, charge out Sir Dupuis, who will have his attack boosted to a very respectable 7 dice, and 9 move once Eldgrim gets on his card. Good luck hiding ranged special attackers from that. Q9, as we know, is Q9. Hide him behind an ectoplasmic screen, and pummel any screen units that give your knights trouble. Isamu is annoying if you get lucky on the D20, ad if you're not, odds are good that if he has to go into the fight, most of your army is dead already.

So to recap, this army has what most good armies should have.
1) A common-squad bread 'n butter core, which can double as a screen.
2) A very, very fast beatstick that has synergy with the core squads.
3) A glyph-grabber that will help boost one of your units to maniacal 9-move/7- attack powerhouse.
4) A ranged Special Attacker for screen units that'll harass the core soldiers.
5) The cheap-o filler.

715pts/27hex

Doesn't fit a standard game but 720 points isn't standard anyways. Thoughts?
