"I could beat that army!" Theoryscape Challenge

[The_X_Marker]

What would you be dropping to fit into 24 spaces? That army is at 30, Veg18.

I would counter BlackCharos' army with:

TBR: 130 1space
MW: 50/180 4spaces/5
5x Drones: 250/430 15 spaces/20
2x Earth Elemental: 500 2 spaces/22

TBR could suicide lead into Braxas, either killing her or teleporting plenty of drones, which surround her. Her 3 defense would not stand up to the average 4.8 attacks that'll be on her, even if she kills 2-3 figures a turn. She would get overwhelmed.

Earth Elementals clear out the Nagrubs, and damage Torky with their area attack and Marro Warriors provide cleanup.

The army fits theme, mostly too, however, it can go either way with the dice rolls, as I've found by play testing my army at 450 points by dropping one squad of drones, against a Braxas army.

Okay after a little thought here it goes an army to counter The X marker's

WoAx4
Zelrig
Isamu
KMA

Zelrig is to bomb the start zone and try to kill as many drones as he can before falling
WoA tie up the remaining drones and Earth elementals their defence should hold
Krav can take care of TBR and the MW
Isamu can finish the rest.

210 Braxas, good for the Ashrans and Agents without worrying about Defensive Agility, Stealth Dodge, or Majestic Fires
100 Kozuke Samurai, resistant to the Z-Bomb and can quickly dispatch Zelrig or the KMA...the ashrans could be difficult to kill, but counter strike might catch the Ashrans on an attack whiff
080 Kumiko, Her phantom walk prevents her from being tied down while her SA can defeat the WoA
110 Ninjas of the Northern Wind, these guys can slip past the WoA and go for Zelrig and the Krav
500 Total, 9 Hexes

Not much synergy, but the theme is there, most importantly: A melee counter to the WoA!

Iron Golem x5

No range in AoS' army, so he has to come to grips with my golems. Not too many squads, so the golem's 1 attack per round trade off isn't too bad. Braxas' special is useless. Golems high attack versus low defense samurai should render counterstrike pretty well moot.

(and yes, I do have an all D&D army)

[Eraguy816]

DCoT x4, 175/9
Me-Burq-Sa, 225/11
Orge P. x1, 325/12
Bugbears x2, 475/18
Drow Chainfighter x1, 500/19

The drow chages to hope and wound one,
the BugBears can do some damage,
the Orge and the DC can hammer away,
and MBS can slip though the defense.

The Chainfighter is a weak choice with only one attack.
The Horned Skull Brutes aren't bad, but are not a counter to the Golems.
The Pulverizer may hurt himself attacking the Golems due to Lumbering Bully.
Me-Burq-Sa is weak without a bonding squad, which are not scarce for him, and Paralyzing Stare does not work on Large/Huge figures.

Not a counter.

Ace you're wrong here. MBS does bond with the DCoT, and the Iron Golems will be over run by so many squads when they only attack once a turn. And also the Pulverizer has a greater chance of dealing a wound then hurting himself. The bugbears might be futile in this case, but extra squad figure couldn't help.

Nerak the Glacian Swog Rider
Raelin the Kyrie Warrior (RotV)
495 points, 14 hexes

Once the armies engage, I'll be getting in 5 attacks of 4 per turn against your 1 attack of 6. Dual defensive auras will also make it difficult to bring down the orcs. Not impossible, just annoying.

Well, I missed where it said DCoTx4 at the top, sorry Eraguy and Fedex Worker. Still, MBS can't use his stare. The Orge will roll 2 skulls on average and the IG will roll 2 sheilds on average; the damage could go either way. Not good odds. I suppose, the army isn't as bad as I first stated, but has room for improvement. My bad .

Can someone think of a counter to this.
Aubrien Archers X3
Raelin RotV
Kyntela Gwyn
Emirroon
WoA X2
Isamu
500 points, 19 hexes.

Nooooo! You de-necro'd the thread!

Anyway,

Braxas
Q9
Raelin
Isamu
Marcu

Braxas and q9 with Raelin smoke the squads, and Isamu sits back in the start zone in case things go wrong .

Axegrinders of the Burning Forge x3
Marro Gnids x2
Iron Golem
Crixus
500 points, 23 hexes

The golem can deal with Q9, the dwarves with Braxas/Q9, and the Gnids zerg Braxas/Raelin. Crixus cleans up, or heads out early to deal with Raelin/Q9
