Re: The Book of Charos
If you play the 4th Massachusetts Line, Charos, being "valiant," is well worth those 210 points. (Charos + 4 x 4th Mass = 500 points of crunchy goodness.)

Re: The Book of Charos
210 Rev. Always 210. But yes, your right. Charos is great for clean-up if you have the points to spare. If your having trouble against the likes of Q9 or his friends, send Charos in to either tie him down or take him out. Charos adds the high attack the 4th Mass. need.

Re: The Book of Charos
Charos is worth every bit of 210 points. Depending on the army I would choose him over the other dragons but I don't think any of the dragons are the best characters of the game. If I had to pick between any of them it would be Charos or Molten Claw as my favorites. I usually use him to take out ranged squads. With the GSW It is fairly easy to get him to the behind enemy lines. He is a high life flying samurai that has squads to bond with. I don't agree with just settiong him in the middle of an army and not moveing him; he has a good melee attack and with the GSW you can even put him by Q9 or any other ranged hero and continuously attack while the rest of your army hit from the front lines. If you get behind the lines with him he will be the focus of attack and you should have time to make some significant damage to the opposing army. I like this setup:
210-Charos 160-Sonlen 120-Green Scale Warriors I started to pick another healer but this guy is so much more. Even if you didn't heal Charos in time you have a good chance of victory. He is not just a devastating opponent, he is the bait; hence the name Master of the Hunt.

Re: The Book of Charos
You may want more Greenscales. The typical problem is the 'Scales outlasting the dragon, but with 6 lizards and Charos, you'll have the opposite problem.
Sonlen isn't much of a healer. He has to use it before moving, and it's only on a 16 or higher to heal one wound. That ain't much when you got 9 life. Kelda can heal the number of wound that Charos'll be taking, and her d20 roll is way more likely to happen. Patience Drain After loading and before posting, roll the twenty-sided die. On a 1, Therion makes a long and/or irritating post. On a 2-15, Therion may not post this turn. On a 16+, post normally. |

BUT since this is Charos' book and not the Greenscales', that's really a conversation for a different book. |

Here's my favorite Charos army: Charos Greenscale Warriorsx3 Airborne Elite 500points/11spaces(15 figures) ------ Charos and Greenscales are the main attack force in this army, with the Airborne Elite filling in a shock trooper role. One great thing about this army is that Charos and Greenscalesx3 should stay alive plenty long enough for the Airborne to eventually drop in. |

Re: The Book of Charos
Charos works surprisingly well with the Phantom Knights...
Melee-based armies: Raelin-backed Charos tears up the puny little figures with Counterstrike, and PKs can hold their own pretty well. Raged-based armies: PKs kill up some "Girly Ranged Units" and Charos is more than good for mopping up the survivors. Conveniantly enough, PKsx3, Charos and RotV Rae-Rae equals 500. |

My daughter has been having great luck with Heirloom, Bacon, Greenscales + Dragon of the Week. Memorably with Charos on Ember Canyon Road: she created a roadblock with the Greenscales and Charos in the middle of the map, clogging my Heavies and Grimnak together; then threw a surprise order marker on Heirloom after putting the X on him all game, climbed up the hill just enough to hit a weakened Grimnak and cluster of orcs with Force Orb. It was all downhill for me after that. |

Re: The Book of Charos
Charos used to be one of those "Don't touch him, and maybe he'll leave us alone" figures in our games. Play keep-away, and pick at him from range. Solid strategy, obviously. One game, though, my cousin took his Spartacus and walked right on up to Charos, and proceeded to put a three-turn beatdown on him. Ever since then... we've all gotten a bit more aggressive toward ol' Big Green.
