Deathwings blow everything up. Marro Warriors play keepaway in cleanup.

~Dysole, uncertain if that would actually work but it'd be fun

Red wyrm x13-390
B-11 Resistance Corps-110

Wyrms open up and go for deathwings. B-11 finish if they need to. Pretty self explanatory. Should do the trick.

Kato 200
Yari x 3 120
Harq x 3 180
500 Sit a Yari

The Ashigaru overwhelm the wyrmlings and B-11 with attacks.

Deathwalker 8000
Deathcommander
Zettian infantry x3
Siiv

DW8000 demolishes all the little guys, extra zettians dont hurt and play meat shield. The commander cleans up if need be. No problem

Nilfheim-185
Gilbert-105
KoW x3-210

Nilfheim for the death heroes and knights clean up the infantry.

[Aldin]

*sheesh* That's a tournament-grade army right there, mtl.

Let's try to specifically counter both aspects of it:
2x Nhah Scirh Cultists 160
3x Gorillatroopers 315
1x Dumutef Guard 25 (because, why not?)

~Aldin, dragon hunter

Warriors of Ashra x 5 250
Krug 120/370
Carr 100/470
Eldgrim 20 500
500 pts 19 hexes

WoA beat the knights. Eldgrim grabs a glyph and dares the opposing team to make either Krug or Carr faster. Krug and Carr take out Nilfheim.

Edit: Too late, see what happens when I answer my phone. Actually, given the lack of special attacks and limited range of the Gorillatroopers, this has a pretty good chance against Aldin's army.

4th Mass anyone?

4x 4th Mass Line (280, 16 Spaces)
1x Charos (490, 18 Spaces)

4th Mass can take out the Warriors Of Ashra, which won't have defensive agility to save them from the potshots. Charos plays meat shield, attempting to absorb hits from Krug and Carr to protect the 4th Mass. 4th are very capable of taking down Krug, Carr, Eldgim, and The Warriors Of Ashra. Charos just buys them more time... With his life.

Marro Warlord, the general goal is to make a mediocre army that can defeat the opponent's army by identifying a flaw in that army, as opposed to throwing out a top army that is good against almost everything. A 4th Mass/Charos army is a top army. I could go with Q9/Raelin/Rats, but then we just have another top army.

This isn't a guaranteed win, but I like my chances.

Phantom Knights x 5 350/15
Krug 120
Eldgrim 30
500/17

PK's defense protects against WTF and match up well against the 4th. Eldgrim gives himself up to speed up Krug. Krug > Charos.

Cathar Spearman x4 (300)
Count Raymond (90)
Van Nessing (105)

I've got the advantage of numbers, and you need to risk the spear to engage my men. Van Nessing can pull double turns and take down the knights pretty quickly. Krug will be tough, but with the reach and Manuver, it shouldn't be too tough. 16 spearmen are very hard to kill, btw.

Braxas-210
Black Wyrmlings x9-270
Marcu-20

Braxas is a great squad killer, if you didn't know, so she should be able to take down enough to make the game winnable. If luck is on my side she would acid breath a hero or two. Her little wyrmlings finiah what she started. Everyone is susceptible to acid breath. This is highly d20 dependent, obviously.

Venoc Vipers x 7 280
Charos 210
Otonashi 10
500/24

Braxas/BW special is wasted on zero defense VV. While I'm not thrilled with having VV against Marcu, Charos is tough on Marcu (and everyone in your army).

Still smarting over our last meeting - so good to beat Rich10, even if only in theory.

150 Warriors of Ashra x 3
130 DW8000
120 Kaemon
500, 11 spaces

WoA screen for heroes and tie down Charos; Kaemon pounds him from a distance; DW8000 is Vipers' worst nightmare.
