Re: 2010 Main Event Armies
Hendal's Army:
Stingers x7 - 420 Raelin - 500, 22 hexes 600 - Kumiko + Marcu / Krav (sit a Stinger) / Gurei-Oni (Evil Eye and a Special Attack, fits the hexes ) 620 - Kaemon Awa 640 - Kaemon + Marcu A Shield/Symbol is completely sick for that army. Nilfheim - 185 Raelin - 265 10th x3 - 490, 15 hexes 600 - Airborne Elite / 10th + Fire Elemental / Krav + Isamu 620 - 10th + Marro Warriors / Kaemon or Hydra + Isamu 640 - 10th x2 I left Isamu off of that build since you get 10th x2 on a symbol then, but he could probably go in there Day 1. You still get Krav/Kaemon or Hydra on Skull/Shield, and you can get Phantoms x2 on a symbol. I'm guessing Rÿchean chose this point total because it's bad for Mass and Trons, which is cool. The only Mass armies I can really come up with are gimmicky. Something like Q10/Mimring + Mass x5 with valiant hero reinforcements (or even Deathwalker 7000 ). Like battle reports?

Re: 2010 Main Event Armies
The problem with this team is that there's exactly 24 hexes.
The Stinging Swords x5 Stingers x3 Phantom Knights (can you have more than 24 hexes on day 2? This team can't get any more cards on day 2 if it's still 24 limit) This one, although less effective, has less hexes and is less expensive (money-wise) The Stinging Swords (with a hero) x3 Stingers x3 Phantom Knights Kaemon Awa Day 2: 600: + Raelin RotV 620: + Raelin RotV and Thorgrim 640: + Raelin RotV and Marro Warriors You tell me which you like better.

I think 2 x GSW is the max you need. Nilf is still pretty darn good if they go down and you won't run around with 2/3 melee squad. At least that's been my (limited) experience with play-testing the GSW. I have about 5 or so dwarf armies in the works. I'm still working on the rat problem with them. Oh and there's one more that fomox and I have in the works. Dragon Dice - (the 2nd best game there is) Learn to Play! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h3q6...wujcr8vVf8e21G |

Of course, if you're spider_poison, you can be a super-hero again: 80 Raelin 120 Blastarons x2 240 Gladiatrons x3 440, 21 hexes @600, add Q10 + Isamu (24) @620, add Q9 (23) @640, add Q9 + Marcu or Nilfheim + Isamu (24) If you can make day 2 playing 70 points light, you have totally disgusting upgrade options waiting for you. I may as well spell out my PK/tron idea: 80 Raelin 120 Blastarons x2 160 Gladiatrons x2 140 Phantom Knights x2 500, 23 hexes @600, add Syvarris? @620, add Kaemon @640, add Kaemon and Marcu (sit Marcu unless there's a glyph to grab). So... pretty good on day 1, assuming my theory that this is a good army is correct. Hoping and praying for 620 on day 2. One other throught: the Stinger/Zelrig army can be re-worked as a mixed stinger/greenscale/Nilfheim army. At 635... Stingersx4, Greenscalesx2, Raelin, Nilfheim, Isamu? Sounds pretty good to me. |

Re: 2010 Main Event Armies
Maybe with Mass, you just go non-valiant and include Raelin in it.
Mass x4 - 280 Raelin - 360 Major Q10 - 510, 19 hexes 600 - Mass + Marcu, 24 620 - Krav + Isamu - 23 640 - ??? Just add 5 Mass? Krav + Air Elemental? Maybe some sort of modified Revdyer army? Mass x3 - 210 Raelin/Thorgrim/Concan - 290 Sentinels x2 - 510, 19 hexes 600 - Mass + Marcu/Kyntela, 24 - Maybe one of the 80 Pointers? 620 - Sentinels - 22 640 - Sentinels + Eldgrim??? There's this one too - probably the best I can come up with for Mass (might be tough to make Day 2 though): Mass x3 - 210 Charos - 420 Raelin / Thorgrim - 500, 15 600 - Krav (if you used Raelin), 18 - Mass + Eldgrim (Thorgrim), 20 620 - Kaemon/Greenscales x2 (Raelin), 16/21 - Alastair / RotV Drake (Thorgrim), 16 640 - Mass x2, 23 (sickness) By the way - screw all of you guys that actually get to play in this thing.

Re: 2010 Main Event Armies
Nah, I make a specific point to not think about such things. We hashed out the reinforcement point totals first; I then decided that I liked how 510 allowed Day 2 to come out 600, 620, 640. Trust me, I wasn't trying to nerf any particular build. I rarely even think about potential armies for any of the events until after we are done setting up the parameters.

Re: 2010 Main Event Armies
I really hate the idea of playing Mass with Krav. Unless I'm really scared that I'm about to lose on time, I'd just leave the last Krav alone, unless it was sitting on a glyph of Astrid. Isamu is even worse. In the current metagame, I just can't justify playing persistently non-valiant 4th Mass when I can have 10th for 5 points more.
I thought about that Mass/Charos/Thorgrim combo, too, but came to the conclusion that it probably doesn't make day 2. My Braxas rat-podge idea could be easily turned into a Blackroller, to beef up the offense a bit: 80 Raelin RotV 100 Krav Maga Agents 120 Greenscale Warriors x2 210 Braxas 510, 12 hexes It still has a bit of a glass jaw, but the offensive potential of Braxas + 3 attacks of 3 is pretty terrifying. @600, add deathreaversx2 + Isamu (21), or Greenscales + Marcu + Isamu (17) @620, add Greenscales + Marro Warriors (19) or Airborne Elite (16) @640, add Marcu to 620 options (20/17), or Greenscalesx2 + Isamu (19). |

main problem; squads will tear this up. I know you have two squad killers with Nilf and "Cyprien" ( who shouldn't be considered a squad killer ) however Nilf can fall pretty quickly without a screen; and the greenscales can fall pretty fast against ranged fire power... Not enough figures in my opinion; orcs; Dwarves; knights; can pull a win off against this army. My rule of thumb is to only have one big point figure / combo (example - Cyprien and Sonya) However; Tiny's Undead Kenights! Cyprien 150 5x Phantom Knights 350 Total 500 600 - I would go with Sonya and mbs 620 Keamon 640 - Realin; Sonya (125); Isamu Last edited by Tiny Timmy; April 4th, 2010 at 09:28 PM. |

Re: 2010 Main Event Armies
I've been playing around with this build for different point ranges, what do you guys think?
The Phantom Queen Braxas PKx4 Marcu 510 points. Solid stealth flying blockers for Braxas and anti-range. Dustin |
