Help with Pre-Selected Armies for a Bachelor's Party
Hello Heroscapers! I'm new to this board, but I've been actively reading articles on here since 2017. Before I get to my question, let me start by saying I'm no newbie at army building....however....I'm no expert either. Especially when it comes to building multiple army lists that need to be relatively equal in power. I'm used to just building one competitive list for myself and that's it.
So in regards to my question: My best friend is getting married in May and asked me to be his best man; and part of being the best man I need to plan a bachelor's party. He suggested he wouldn't mind having a heroscape battle royale. So I decided I would pre-build 5 army lists (because 2 of the 5 players will be first time Heroscape players) that are all relatively balanced. With that being said, here are the lists. My heroscape collection includes the majority of waves that were released, and I have at least x2 of most commons. I only need 5 armies, but I have 6 overall list ideas. How do these look? Roughly 600 points List 1: Soldier/Warlord theme Marcus 100 Me-Burq-Sa 150 x2 Legionaries 250 x2 10th Regiment 400 Airborne Elite 510 Ne-gok-sa 600 List 2: Valiant theme Finn 80 Thorgrimm 160 x2 Knights of Weston 300 x2 4th Mass. 440 Sir Dupuis 590 List 3: Orc theme Grimnak 120 Nerak 170 x2 Blade Gruts 250 x2 Heavy Gruts 390 x2 Arrow Gruts 470 x2 Swog rider 520 Marro Warriors 570 List 4: Fantasy theme Nilfheim 185 x2 Greenscale Warriors 305 Slyvarris 405 x2 Aubrien Archers 545 Theracus 585 List 5: Undead Theme Cryprien 150 Sonya 195 x4 Zombies 435 Torin 555 Marro Warriors 605 List 6: Kyrie theme Atlaga 90 Raelin 170 x2 Minions 390 x2 Protectors 610 |

Re: Help with Pre-Selected Armies for a Bachelor's Party
My classic theoryscape is rusty that looks pretty good.
The Nilfheim is a bit swingy because if he goes down to some bad rolls, that army is toast. Hopefully they can soften up the enemy with the archers before unleashing icy death shards. If you have extra zombies I would drop Torin for two more squads of zombies. If you do not have more zombies, I would still drop Torin and use some other figures to proxy two more squads of zombies. |

1, 3 and 4 are the most competitive. It's hard to justify using Torin in an army.

I am definitely not the best person to ask but yeah, fairly balanced.
I would have guessed the Valiant army would have been one of the best. |

I'd agree with this. Torin is just not very good

I could see him being worth using if he bonded with something. I know we try to not overuse bonding with custom units, but he is an excellent candidate for it.

Re: Help with Pre-Selected Armies for a Bachelor's Party
You don't need to worry about super balance. It doesn't sound like you're going to be playing with a bunch of people trying to min/max everything they can get out of every OM.
You've already gotten some good answers to your question, I just wanted to post here to say "Welcome aboard, lurker." I'm glad you're here. |
