Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?
I'm a huge fan of KoW and 4th Mass (who isn't?), but I'm also a fan of the MacDirks, and, to a lesser extent, the SoJ.

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?
My thoughts exactly. The Zombies are also the best themed design IMO.

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?
Dude Warforged Soldiers any day of the week! Though that is closely followed by Capuan Gladiators, Zombies of Morindan and Marro Dividers but I'm gonna vote for vydar.

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?
Here is the results, if you take the common squads from each general and average there power rankings.
1. Vydar 2. Valkrill 3. Aquilla 4. Jandar 5. Utgar 6. Ullar 7. Einar Here is the results if you use the top 4 common squad power ranking from each general (because Valkrill has only 4 common squads). 1. Utgar, same as poll. 2. Jandar, same as poll. 3. Vydar, one above poll. 4. Einar, one below poll. 5t. Valkrill, one above poll. 5t. Ullar, two above poll. 7. Aqullia, two below poll. Utgar is a 1/3 letter grade above Jandar.

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?
Pound for pound or point for point, Vydar is the best, hero and\or squads. If I have to run a random army from any one general I am going Vydar all the way every day.

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?
I chose Einar, but every General has at least 1-3 very good common squads, those being listed below:
Utgar: Phantom Knights, Deathreavers, Heavy Gruts Jandar: Knights of Weston, 4th Mass Einar: Romans, 10th Reg, Capuan Gladiators Vydar: Gladiatrons, Blastatrons, Warforged Soldiers Aquilla: Mohicans, Dwarves Valkrill: Death Chasers, Horned Skull Brutes (only in conjunction with Goblin Cutters) Ullar: Greenscale Warriors (of course), Aubrien Archers, and to a lesser extent, Venoc Vipers. If you start playing Vipers x7, it's going to get ugly for expensive enemy squad figures. It's difficult to deny the use of 3 attacks of 3 for only 40 points (with the Warlord, it's often 3 attacks of 4, I mean honestly, in what melee situation do 9 move Vipers not get height?) All in all, I say that when you apply the term factions, it should be defined as, in terms of 'Scape, Agents, or Soldiers, Warriors, Orcs, Marro, etc. Synergies are spread across the generals, and this was especially true in the soldier build until we got Brits in Wave 8. Still, armies using MDG, WF Soldier, and 4th Mass (cheaper than Brits) can still be interesting. But I'm a sucker for the lines of Romans clutching swords, spears, and the classic shield. In Honorem Roma! |

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?
I'll be the first to admit that I own more Romans than any other common squad (a pathetic 3 ). However, not even I know if that's due to availability or the fact that I like them the most. however, I don't own/play enough 10th Reg/Caps to know how much i would like them, whereas I have 2 squads of KoW, and can very easily borrow a 3rd set, in addition to a 2nd MacDirk Warriors and a 2nd 4th Mass from a very close friend who lives down the block. I stick with my decision of Jandar.

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?
The Romans are up there, regardless of that chart (I know thats not the point you were trying to make Rÿchean, but still)

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?
Yeah, just a lot of favorite type posts. I know it is all opinion.
I mean my favs are Einar and Vydar but Utgar has so many options and so many key abilities when it comes to common squads that I had to give Utgar the nod for best. |

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?
This time Utgar wins both the quantity AND the quality competitions, hands down.
Sure, if we want a one general army we could probably do some damage with the 4th Mass or KoW, but I'll take stingers instead of the 4th Mass, heavy gruts instead of the KoW, and then there is no answer for the deathreavers. All ye people who are voting for Einar, why? Is it all 10th reg? Is there that much gladiator love out there?? |

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?
Kroc,
It's probably the Legionnaires + 10th that have Einar doing as well as they are. Both are very capable squads, if a bit trickier to utilize well than the KoW + 4th. Quote:
For example, the best common squad is clearly the... Deathstalkers. Coolest sculpts in the game. Aesthetically they are the best squad. Or I might point out that the best two squads are clearly the... Venoc Vipers and Aubrien Archers. Taking another turn is the best power in the game and totally fits my playstyle (you sense your friendly Admin may be stretching the truth a bit here to make a point). But really, the best common squads in the game are the Gladiatron/Blastatron combo. If you're looking for an easy button and a consistent tourney winner you need look no further. Except that the best squad in the game is the Axegrinders of the Burning Forge and their amazing synergy with the spectacular Dwarf heroes. Heh - that was fun. Anyone else want to give some love to Einar, Jandar and Valkrill? ~Aldin, humming the Karate Kid theme He either fears his fate too much or his desserts are small That dares not put it to the touch to gain or lose it all ~James Graham |
