Crimany I love this guy. Most the time I find him to be a better cheerleader than anything......just surrounding him with 6 Minutemen makes for a crazy buff, even better with Raelin standing behind that hex of death.

I read this thread and could not find an answer to my question. Is Marcus DG's shield painted or does it have stickers like the romans. I just got my romans and was shocked to see that the shields are not painted. They are stickers. WTF. I'm sure going to give them a custom paint job. I also just ordered the Heroes of Bleakwood (with March DG of course) from Amazon and I was wonder if Marcus DG's shield is a sticker or pointed. I also noticed the of figures in wave 1 compared to other waves that I got before have lower quality. My Romans were all bent out of shape and hopefully my Marcus DG is not like that.
I don't care about choosing my army based on strategy. I choose an army based on coolness and personal appeal... even if it means that my units will die trying. Hail to the glory of HeroScape and bravery. |

That's my only problem with the "defender of Rome" bit, because it was, in the day, illegal for a Legion to enter into Rome, to keep away rebellion/rising to power, and of course, Julius Caesar did it with his legion and he eventually became Emperor. Sometimes the facts are really great, especially when they are side by side with the game, it makes it really fun. But I'm not so hot with the "defender of Rome" bit unless he means he is "Defender of the Roman Empire." When California's educational system stopped teaching to the test, scores tripled. |

Re: The Book of Marcus Decimus Gallus
The 10th Foot, as Soldiers, get both his SOLDIER LEADERSHIP / SOLDIER ATTACK ENHNCEMENT bonuses.
Just another bump for Marcus as more and more soldiers are introduced to the game. ** These bonuses are already listed in the Book of 10th Regiment of Foot. |

Re: The Book of Marcus Decimus Gallus
I just had a good idea for Marcus:
Marcus: 100 10th Regiment x3: 325 Sacred Band x2: 425 You still have room for something else, too, or you can add another 10th Regiment. The Band gets the disciplined army bonus, and the bonding can keep Marcus by your Brits, enhancing their wait, then fire! Unfortunately I don't have any of them, so I can't test it. But it's darn good in theory! Well, unless you play against Zelrig.... |

Re: The Book of Marcus Decimus Gallus
I'd swap out the Band for the Romans (for defense) and put in Raelin. The 10th have a relatively low def. and Raelin is THE best character to change that.
It frustrates me that almost every one of my armies that has Raelin and Sacred Band requires me to swap out a squad of 10th + the usual filler for Parmenio just so that the Band is not too sensitive without Raelin's aura, since she probably won't be on the front lines with them, especially since I usually spread them out. If I don't do that, I have to put in the Romans, but I don't have them and the Band works better with the 10th since they can spread out and the 10th usually stays put for WtF.

Re: The Book of Marcus Decimus Gallus
I am going to attempt to enumerate the "tier 2" (to use Jexik's terminology) Marcus/Warlord + Soldier armies that max out at 24 hexes. The only non-warlord/soldier figure I'm going to throw in is Raelin, because, hey, it's Raelin.
It's a simple menu; pick one from each of: Ranged Squads: Airborne Elite (110) 10th Regiment of Foot x2 (150) 10th Regiment of Foot x3 (225) Melee Squads: Sacred Band/Roman Legionnaires x1 (50) Sacred Band/Roman Legionnaires x2 (100) Roman Legionnaires x3 (150) Warlords: Marcus (100) Marcus + Me-Burq-Sa (150) Marcus + Ne-Gok-Sa (190) Marcus + Me-Burq-Sa + Ne-Gok-Sa (240) And then, optionally, add on Raelin (RotV), for 80 more. A couple rules to cut down on illogical builds:
260 = AE + SB 300 = 10thx2 + SB 310 = AE + SBx2 340 = AE + Romans + Raelin 350 = 10thx2 + SBx2 360 = AE + Romansx2 + MBS 380 = 10thx2 + Romans + Raelin 390 = AE + Romansx2 + Raelin 400 = AE + Romansx2 + NGS 400 = 10thx2 + Romansx2 + MBS 425 = 10thx3 + SBx2 430 = 10thx2 + Romansx2 + Raelin 440 = 10thx2 + Romansx2 + NGS 440 = AE + Romansx2 + MBS + Raelin 450 = 10thx2 + Romansx3 + MBS 455 = 10thx3 + Romans + Raelin 460 = AE + Romansx2 + NGS + Raelin 475 = 10thx3 + Romansx2 + MBS 480 = 10thx2 + Romansx2 + MBS + Raelin 490 = 10thx2 + Romansx3 + NGS 505 = 10thx3 + Romansx2 + Raelin 515 = 10thx3 + Romansx2 + NGS 520 = 10thx2 + Romansx2 + NGS + Raelin 530 = 10thx2 + Romansx3 + MBS + Raelin 540 = 10thx2 + Romansx3 + NGS + MBS 555 = 10thx3 + Romansx2 + MBS + Raelin 570 = 10thx2 + Romansx3 + NGS + Raelin 595 = 10thx3 + Romansx2 + NGS + Raelin The astounding thing about this list is that there are only two duplicate point totals (400 and 440 points), yet there's only one gap of more than 20 points after 340 (between 400 and 425). I bolded the combos that seem strongest to me. They follow a simple rule: armies that contain MBS and have a 1:1 Romans:Warlords ratio. Here's that condensed list: 360 = AE + Romansx2 + MBS 400 = 10thx2 + Romansx2 + MBS 440 = AE + Romansx2 + MBS + Raelin 475 = 10thx3 + Romansx2 + MBS 480 = 10thx2 + Romansx2 + MBS + Raelin 540 = 10thx2 + Romansx3 + NGS + MBS 555 = 10thx3 + Romansx2 + MBS + Raelin Last edited by dok; January 21st, 2009 at 05:49 PM.

Re: The Book of Marcus Decimus Gallus
Um... not sure if anyone has noticed this, but the 10th Regiment aren't in the beginning of the book, listed under bond recipients. Just pointing it out for everyone.
