Review my Themed Armies
Hello All,
It's been a while since I've been actively playing Heroscape and even longer since I've been on this forum. A few weeks ago I pulled out my Heroscape stuff and played with my 9 year old son... We had a great time! Since then we have played a few more times (he likes the Marvel characters), but I have wanted a bit more of a challenge. Some of my co-worker have a game night and I brought up the idea of playing Heroscape. I do not believe any of them have played and I wanted to introduce the game in an approachable manner, so I created 8 themed armies for 4 one-on-one games. Please review these Armies and let me know if they seem evenly matched, but keep in mind the players are beginners (me too). Also, the 4th Army is just the Marvel Heroes vs Marvel Villains. Agents Agent Skahen Agent Carr Nakita Agents Krav Maga Agents Microcorp Agents -VS- Soulborgs Deathwalker 9000 Warden 816 (may be replace w/ 2x Deathreavers) Zettian Guards Deathreavers Deathstalkers x2 -------------------- Elves Ulginesh Jordawn Chardris Emirroon Arkmer (may be replaced w/ 1x Warriors of Ashra) Warriors of Ashra -VS- Fiends Cyprien Esenwein Iskra Esenwein Sonya Esenwein Rechets of Bogden Khosumet The Darklord Wolves of Badru x2 -------------------- Samurai Kato Katsuro Kaemon Awa Tagawa Samarai Ashigaru Yari x2 -VS- Gladiators Spartacus Crixus Retiarius Capuan Gladiators x2 |

Welcome back to the site!

You might be able to even this out a little bit more by replacing Agent Carr with a second squad of Microcorp Agents, as that would give the Agents player less of an Order Marker headache and a solid common force. Quote:
Notably, the Wolves are the only range that the Fiends have, so unless you do go the 3x WoB route, I wouldn't add any more Warriors of Ashra to the Elves. That squad can be really brutal against melee-only armies. I really want to suggest swapping the Tagawa Samurai out for Ashigaru Harquebus x2 to make Kato worthwhile, but I'm not familiar enough with the gladiators to tell whether this would be overwhelming for them or not. Someone with more experience with them would probably have a better idea. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Thank you for the warm welcome back!

For this one I did not include the Harquebus because I figured the range would be too much for the Gladiators. Thanks for your input. You've made me see some things that I had not considered. I will adjust accordingly and update the post. Thanks again. |

I'm not sure about swapping the Wolves out for Zombies. They match the theme of "destroying to heal," but that already isn't the strongest against the Elven Wizards, so I'm not sure that piling more on would be helpful. They also might be more overwhelming for a new player to go against, since the Elven Wizards are one of the harder armies to learn to use, so I'd probably just keep the Wolves (on a somewhat related note, canonically the Elves and Wolves were pitted against each other on Feylund anyway).

And no problem! I'm happy to help! Proud Member of Platyfly!
