570 Points, No Start Zone Limit
Well I'm having a game night soon and we are using 570 point, no start zone limits. I am thinking about running this army:
6x Stingers (360/360)
5x Deathreavers (200/560)
Isamu (10/570)

What do you guys think?

Re: 570 Points, No Start Zone Limit
Annoying as heck is what I would call that. Another good one might be:

Marcus-100
x9 Roman Legionaires-550
Marcu-570

Although you probaly don't have that many Romans, you can probaly Proxy.

Re: 570 Points, No Start Zone Limit
Good army!

One that I would take.

5 Ashigaru Harquebus 240
5 Ashigaru Yari 160
Izumi Samurai 60
Isamu 10

570 44 Figures.

This would be an army that I would play and have fun with.

Honestly, I'm trying to get my group to want the start zone limit. My friend keeps running:
Marro Hive
Stingers x4
Dividers x4
(We normally use 600 points).

Re: 570 Points, No Start Zone Limit
There are armies that are actually more fun with slightly larger start zones:

Houndsx5 - 450
Kaemon Awa - 570, 31 hexes.

Kato - 200
Ashigaru Harquebus x4 - 440
Ashigaru Yari x3 - 560
Isamu - 570, 30 hexes.

Krug - 120
Mimring - 270
Swogx2 - 320
Arrow gruts x6 - 560
Isamu - 570, 27 hexes.

--

I think knights would have reasonable time against the drone/stinger/hive army.

Gilbert - 105
knightsx6 - 525
Eldgrim - 555
Isamu - 565, 27 hexes.

--

That rat army is horrible, but you would slaughter the guy.
I don't always use custom units, but when I do I use Sherman Davies Marvel customs.

Re: 570 Points, No Start Zone Limit
I usually do you can draft 250point worth of each (un)common hero/squad (with a min of 3) and no start zone limit.
65+ = max 3
55-60 = max 4
45-50 = max 5
40 = max 6
35 = max 7
30 = max 8
25 = max 10
20 = max 12

Other than the rats, this helps keep out massive amounts of overpowered squads but still allows for big armies of things like zombies, romans, Ashigaru, and double-spaced commons. This works for 400 point and 1000 point games.
