Re: The Book of Torin

Thanks. Fixed.

While I didn't include the full list in the book (it's really too long to be very useful), here's the list of figures to whom Torin can offer Evil Eye Protection:

Re: The Book of Torin

Pairing up Torin with The Zettians seems like a good start to an army; the soulborgs can shoot from range while Torin gives them ranged counterstrike. Set up a deathreaver screen, throw in some offensive units of choice, and call it a day. For large point games, I'd even throw up Taelord.

How would Counterstrike work with DW7K's stealth dodge? I would assume that all shields past the first one would go towards counterstrike damage.

EDIT: A ruling by GrungeBob states that the above statement is indeed true.

At 510, what about:

Knights x3
Finn
Eldgrim
Torin
Zettians

A bit lacking in the range department, but Super Zettians might not be so bad. I'm going to at least give this a try.

That's the right line of thought here. Just throw up Taelord, preferably into a garbage can. It's really where he belongs.

Re: The Book of Torin

I was in a tournment this weekend at got a chance to play a tried and true glad/blast combo with Raelin (Tournment was 445) against alot of the new units, Torin being one of them.

He had the Marro warriors, Zettien Guards, and the Warden, along with a few others.

I lost nearly an entire squad of blasts to the evil eye counter strike, the Zettiens were rolling 8 dice. I eventually ajusted the stratagy were I just brought up a ton of glads and overwhlemed the defense but it was cool to see the evil eye work so well. I am curious to see it now with say stingers, though OM placement at the beginning may be difficult.

Huh.... So now why would anyone ever draft Gurei Oni again? Poor, poor Gurei...

Because he's a Guard and he has a Special Attack.

Hey, I'm tryin here....

Hey, that's actually a quite good thought, especially against foes like Gladiatrons. Gurei can Tetsubo away at the Gladiatrons, negating Melee Defense, and potentially taking out 2 per turn, as opposed to Torin's possible 1 per turn. As I see it, the only advantage against the Glad/Blast combo at least that Torin has is 1 more life, but, if you can't clear the Gladiatrons fast enough, then, the Blasties will be rolling such huge amounts of die that it won't really matter.





Yeah, I could be going stir crazy here, folks.


Your curiosity will be the death of you....

Re: The Book of Torin

Some interesting ideas here. Most of them consisting of units with a higher defense then Torin. How about a unit that has lower defense then Torin? it makes your opponent take shots at the unit with lower defense, keeping Torin alive for longer and taking advantage of Evil Eye for longer.

Stingers are the answer. Cheap, powerful and have a lower defense then Torin. Throw in Raelin and you have a competitive army.

at 500 points
Stingers X5
Torin
Raelin

I just don't see anyone taking shots at these Zettian Guards if they are beside Torin. Torin is going to be taking the hits.
