Kick Butt Armies for: Elementals and Wyrmlings
We have a meet-up happening in the next few days here in Michigan. I am messing around with an Elemental heavy army and Wyrmlings;
Submit your 400pt or 500pt army ideas. Anything from the Heroscape universe + specifcally these below: Elementals I have: Kurrok Air Elemental 3 Water Elemental 2 Earth Elemental 3 Fire Elemental 3 Wyrmings I have: Blue Wyrmling 2 Red Wyrmling 2 Black Wyrmling 4 White Wyrmling 8 Im looking for two separate army lists (one Elementals and one Wyrmings) and feel free to round it out with other characters or squads that synergize well! |
Re: Kick Butt Armies for: Elementals and Wyrmlings
How about:
Kurrok Fire x3 Air x3 Water x2 Marcu (395) Marcu can eat wannok hits better than your elementals. The elementals can do some damage if they work together. Use waters to free up engaged fires, and attempt to mass engage fires to get as many searing intensity rolls as possible. Don’t forget that Kurrok can heal elementals! For 500 points, just add in your earth elementals. They make great body guards for Kurrok. They can also be good for slamming rats or goblins. White x8 Black x4 Frost Giant The wyrmlings can handle squads and light heroes, while the frost giant can smash up any big heroes the opponent has. The white wyrmlings are generally considered the weakest wyrmling, but their higher defense can prove invaluable when you need to keep OM’s on their card. |

The downside to taking only Red and Black, of course, is that you're essentially limited to only being able to deal with Squads and Small/Medium figures, which necessitates taking a good hero killer. One of my friends was considering a Wyrmling army for the most recent D/FW tournament, but they ended up not being able to make it. Adapting their idea to the OP, though:

Maybe either version of Sgt Drake could work, too. |

White Wyrmling x4 Red Wyrmling x2 Black Wyrmling x4 Heracles That's 500 points even as well. Heracles would be a huge help against figures the wyrmlings are going to struggle against the most - large and huge figures. Though I do like the sound of the Frost Giant or Eltahale as well, and that would give you 60 more points to spend on some more Wyrmlings to fill out the army to 500. |
Re: Kick Butt Armies for: Elementals and Wyrmlings
Heracles is a great option if you're playing with C3V. Few heroes are beefier than him from my experiences.
Personally, I think that the best classic option would probably be Eltahale, who can get to a high attack and wreck heroes (something that the Wyrmlings desperately need), and at 140 she slots nicely in with that 6th White Wyrmling. Really, though, any good hero at that price range that you like could work, in my eyes, depending on the event and format. |

4x BW 2x RW 1X WW Eltahale Q10 Q10 helps against your worst matchup, Hounds, a ton. Eltahale for big stuff. Wyrmlings for everything else. This army has some serious teeth and flexibility; anything in it can open games and anything in it can close games. |
Re: Kick Butt Armies for: Elementals and Wyrmlings
Thanks everyone! Keep it coming. Right now I am leaning towards
Wyrmings 500pts. 4x BW 2x RW 1X WW Eltahale Q10 Elementals 400pts Kurrok Fire x3 Air x3 Water x2 Marcu (395) Elementals 500pts Kurrok Fire x3 Air x3 Water x2 Krava maga Isamu Otonashi (495) |

Re: Kick Butt Armies for: Elementals and Wyrmlings
I don't like running Elementals in competitive play, but, they're not unplayable. For 500pt.:
Kurrok 120 Fire x3 105 Earth x3 105 Phantom Knights x2 140 For your last 30 points you can do a number of things: Water x1, Guilty McCreech, Eldgrim, Marcu+ninja, Air x1. I think I like either Water Elemental or Guilty best, but I'd have to see what the map/glyph pool is like. I always thought Air Elementals could make an interesting screen for Q9: Kurrok 120 Air x3 90 Q9 180 Raelin 80 Water x1 30 (another Air would be ideal) If you want all the Elementals, maybe: Kurrok 120 Fire x3 105 Water x2 60 Earth x1 35 Air x1 30 Syvarris 100 Marro Warriors 50 I wouldn't run Elementals in a 400pt. setting. Wyrmlings are a lot more versatile and likeable to me. You could do: Black x2 60 White x3 90 Charos 210 Greenscales x2 120 Marcu 20 or how about Black x2 60 Blue x2 70 Red x2 60 White x2 60 Krug 120 Hydra 120 Ninja 10 That would be a fun one, I think. Can't go wrong with adding on to the classic Knight base: Gilbert 105 Knights x3 210 Black x4 120 White x1 30 Blue x1 35 For 400pt.: Cyprien 150 Sonya 45 Black x3 90 Blue x1 35 Zetacron 60 Marcu 20 That could be a very mean army in certain matchups. The more solid choice: Cyprien 150 Black x3 90 Red x2 60 Krav 100 Another one: Sentinels x2 220 White x4 120 Marro Warriors 50 Ninja 10 One more: Venocs x4 160 Hydra 120 Black x4 120 I agree that Blue Wyrmling is the worst, but it's still not bad imo. |
