Re: Reverse the Whip Army Archetypes

I'm basically 100% in line with Chris Perkins here. I like playing these armies. Maybe the one weakness is the lack of time to prep for them; if I had an hour to do a test game on my own I'd be much better at playing these complex builds. But that's the point of the format, to hand your opponent something they'll struggle with.

You're 100% right on the matchup smoothing aspect too. Having a variety of tools means that when you sit down to play any game, whether it's against something coherent or variable, you'll have a shot at winning. This is possible precisely because of the power level weakness of the event.

Anyways, I love Reverse the Whip armies (as is evidenced by me writing this thread). I think they reward essential Heroscape skills and challenge you in good ways. I'm definitely interested in hearing other perspectives though since I feel like this year was a big jump to extremes of very difficult to play builds, so if people weren't having fun with that there's some lessons to be learned.
