Re: 520 Point Competitive Armies
That's actually 23 spaces, not 21. Anyway, sure, this is nice. Moltenclaw is great on certain maps (lava perches are nice), can be a good leadout against a packed startzone, and can be strong in cleanup, too.
Stepping back for a minute, I'd ask: what are you afraid of facing with 16 cutters and 6 HSBs (or 12 and 9)? Given that rats and most special attackers are off the table, it's not a very long list. I think the build does quite well against Romans/Greeks. Wyrmlings (particularly white wyrmlings) are a concern but you will have the numbers advantage. Zombies, Charos, Venocs, and Ashra all come to mind for me as problem figures (although Charos might just be a personal scar, as my only cutter/brute tournament game involved lots and lots of counterstrike). So the question for me would be, what (B+ or lower) option is going to help the most against those opponents, given 170 points and 2 spaces to work with? Range is good against all of them (less so with the Venocs), and special attacks are good against Charos and Ashra. Moltenclaw does seem to fit the bill against Ashra, but I'm not sure I like him against the others. I could honestly get talked into DW8k here, but I know that's not an option for you. I think the case for Eltahale+Eldgrim is pretty good. Sharwin Wildborn + Zetacron (drop a cutter) doesn't seem like a crazy choice. Finally, you could basically punt on the matchup question by playing Raelin (SotM) and a 50 point filler (or Eldgrim + Marcu - a cutter). (I suppose Raelin is nice against an opposing DW8k, too.)

ETA: by the way, have you considered... 10 Otonashi 120 Raelin SotM 130 Hatamoto Taro (?!) 260 Tagawa Samurai Archers x4 520, 15 spaces I'm not saying it would win the tournament, but man, it would be cool to see that winning some games. And that's a nightmare ranged pod for any all-melee, all-normal attack army. Last edited by dok; July 27th, 2011 at 11:42 AM. |

I passed on buying 2 more squads of TSA, in spite of the various odd requests to field 4 squads of them - they're just too expensive. I'm that you would suggest this because it's , but refuse to accept that ness is an acceptable reason for so many of my army choices. |

Re: 520 Point Competitive Armies
It's more that I refuse to accept that most of your army choices are cool.

Re: 520 Point Competitive Armies
Thanks, but I fear I won't be likely to attend (unless Taeblewalker is driving, and even then . . .). Anyways, I like to create my own armies, even if dok thinks they're either uncompetitive or un.

Re: 520 Point Competitive Armies
The Idaho NHSD tournament is running 520 point armies this year, so I thought I would necro this thread. SoV and HoSS figures are allowed in addition to normal 'scape. The starting hex limit is 18.
Sir Dipius Concan Phantom Knights X3 Raelin (ROTV) 520 points – 13 Hexes Su-Bak-Na Me-Burq-Na Tul-Nak-Ra Havech Eradicators X2 520 Points – 11 Hexes Su-Bak-Na Tul-Bak-Ra Kelda Marro Drones X3 520 Points -- 13 Hexes Kaemon Awa Krug Death Knights X3 Dumutef Guard X4 520 Points -- 17 Hexes Van Nessing Seleena Werewolf Lord Wolves of Badru X3 520 Points -- 13 Hexes Fen Hydra Isamu Mezzodemon X6 520 Points – 15 Hexes Cyprien Esewein Sonya Esenwein Sahuagin Raider X1 Zombies of Morindan X5 520 Points -- 18 Hexes Major Q9 Major X17 Hoplitron X4 Deathwalker 7000 520 Points– 8 Hexes |

Re: 520 Point Competitive Armies
Hmm...I'm not going to lie building an army to an uneven number(something that isn't a multiple of 100) is actually quite tricky. Here is my first attempt .
Me Burq Sa 50 -2 Marro Warriors 100-4 Cyprien 250-1 Sonya 295-1 Iskra 345-1 Retchets 395-3 1x Fire elemental 430-1 1x Stingers 490 -3 1x Nagrubs520 -3 19 hexes 18 figures,9 separate army cards.(as a bonus its all Utgar) Missing 24 Units until I have 1 of everything.

Re: 520 Point Competitive Armies
Why are the grubs in there? You could remove the fire Elemental and grubs for another squad of Stingers.

Re: 520 Point Competitive Armies
True , but then I would wind up short 5 points. If we are talking Exactly 520 points which is what I interpreted this thread as . If there is anything less allowed within the format at the coordinators discretion(assuming your tournament allows and does not require a minimum hex or specific/exact point count), the stingers would be the way to go.
