500 Point Competitive Armies

[weebaer]

No worries Lucky,

I am still trying to enhance my small collection (luckily I have a few friends with EVERYTHING)

That is one thing I learned while collecting, my small collection teams would work great against other small collection teams. Once I faced someone who had limitless supply of squads in their collection I found my teams were a bit less competitive.

and yes, a horde of black wyrmlings would be Awesome!

Charos-210
Syvarris-100
x3 Greenscales-180


Cheap common squads that bond with one of the best huge units in 'Scape? Oh yeah, that sounds competitive to me. And plus, it's ALL Ullar, so you could dominate General Wars with it. I must note that I can't field this army till the sets get shipped.

How about this:
Fen Hydra x4
Marcu
500, 9

Hydras start with 4 attacks, and put marcu in there to suck up the wound glyph. Extremely easy OM management.

[gorthan313]

Marrden Hounds x5 450
Marro Warriors 500


Hounds spread out and try to spread wounds around between all of your hydras. If I can hopefully get a hydra down to one life, it will be largely ignored as I move on to the next one, ultimately leaving you with four (probably less) single-attack Hydras. I can then pick them off at my leisure.

This is the 500 point thread, not the theoryscape challenge thread. Also, that army takes 34 startzone spaces.

I don't think that the OM management is difficult, but you do need 4 Fen Hydra cards since they are uncommon heroes.

Well met!

You tell 'em guys! Don't nobody know nothin' anymore? Those li'l varmints! You gotta love 'em!

[sixthflagbearer]

How about
Zombies x5
Q9
Marcu

Q9 for his special and just plain awesomeness. zombies because they never seem to die, and Marcu to suck up the wound glyphs

My personal favorite army:

Runa
Minions of Utgarx2
Aubrien Archersx2
Kyntela Gwyn

500points/14spaces

I really like the blend of strengths this army combines. It really gives your opponent pause like, "what do I attack first?" I've found the greatest strength of this army is that every figure in it is good at distracting your opponent's attention.

Army that popped into my head recently that seems fun and competitive:

90 Red Wyrmling x3
110 Airborne Elite
100 Marcus Decimus Gallus
200 Sacred Band x4
500, 24 hexes

Standard startzone-stuffing bonding, with some powerful disciplined range to back it up.

I did a quick search and I don't think that this has been posted yet.

300 Zombies x 5
100 KMA
80 Raelin
20 Marcu
500 20 hexes

KMA/Raelin forces your opponent to come close. The Zombies take out anything they can reach. Marcu grabs a glyph.

Mechabeast used that army with great success about 3 years ago, before he got out of the game. It works pretty much exactly as you described and works well.
