Decide Brownsfan's Main Event Army
I can never decide on a tournament army, let alone a GenCon main tournament army. So, I am asking you, Heroscapers of the world, what should I play?
There are 5 choices of armies that I have already considered and even play tested in some occasions. Please vote on what you think would be the most competitive. I will play the army that is decided by this thread. Please be honest. I want to hear the voice of the general populus. Team1 4X 4th Massachusetts Line Charos Team2 3X 10th Regiment Marcus Decimus 1X Romans Kaemon Awa Team3 3X Repulsars 3X Omnicron Snipers Raelin ROTV Team4 4X Knights of Weston Alastair McDirk Thorogrim Elgrim Team5 Krav Maga Agents Q9 2X Minions of Utgar May the best team win! I have changed teams 1, 2, and 3 to accommodate starting zone spaces for day 2 (and a rule with the Repulsars that I did not understand. If you have voted and want to change your vote just let me know and I will change the results to the actual vote at the end. |
Re: Decide Brownsfan's Main Event Army
I voted Team 3, I was tempted to choose team 1 but am not a fan of Raelin since she only adds 1 dice to the 4th. How about 5x Mass + the sometimes game breaking AE, not sure what you would want to do with the remaining 40

Some of these have promise if tweaked a little. That last one is intriguing for some reason. Have you playtested it? |

I agree with Messenger. I think you can include Non Valiant if you have sort of a suicide squad/Hero like maybe Zelrig, Cyprien, AE who can go straight for the opponents start zone, cause havoc, and then grant the valiant bonus after they drop or die. 5x Mass and Cyprien is an even 500 although the AE might be more versatile

Re: Decide Brownsfan's Main Event Army
Thanks guys for the advice about leaving starting zone hexes open. I think I can work around it though. For example:
Team 1: Drop a single 4th mass figure and add Marcus Team 2: Drop 1 more Roman and add Raelin Team 3: Drop 1 repulsar and add Raelin I think the mentality of focusing on the first day will work best for me. Thanks for posting and continue to vote. I am still going to stick with whatever is voted in. |

I came up with it at that moment. My idea was to use the minions to kill and grab an important glyph and then bring up the Krav. Then Q9 would clean up. But that strategy is also awesome. So I could do both if I play the team. Thanks! |
Re: Decide Brownsfan's Main Event Army
None of the above...but if I had to play one, it'd be
Team5 Krav Maga Agents Q9 2X Minions of Utgar |

Re: Decide Brownsfan's Main Event Army
If those are my options, I gotta go with team 5. Teams 1, 2, and 3 are interesting, but have no upgrade path for day 2. Team 4 could be good with some Gilbert love, but it seems pretty slow without him. Team 5 is sort of a hodgepodge, but there's no reason it can't work. Plenty of day 2 options there, although I'm not really in love with any of them.
Here are some funky options: The army I'd bring if GenCon were tomorrow and I were going: 220 TKN 90 grubsx3 180 Q9 490 If you swap Q9 out for Nilfheim or Zelrig, it resembles your army from last year a little. One that occurred to me just yesterday: 150 Q10 330 Minionsx3 480 You can go for Altaga or Raelin on day 2, depending on whether you think the Minions or Q10 need the boost more. |

Q10 - 150 Krav - 250 Kaemon Awa - 370 Deathreavers x3 - 490 (Skull - Raelin, Shield - AE, Symbol - Raelin+Zetacron+Isamu or even Cyprien) But, Brownsfan82, of those 5 choices, I'd play army 5 as well. I don't think you need to fear Rats (Q9 should be enough to scrub them off of the Minions) near as much as you need to fear Braxas. I think she will be more popular in the coming months (and if she isn't, she should be), and she puts a hurt on the Minions and Krav. Still though, there aren't really a ton of bad matchups outside of that - the army is pretty versatile. |
