Re: 450 point army
I've tried a couple of Death Knight builds at this point, trying to find something that takes experience to play well:
Death Knights x 2 - 120 Khosumet - 195 Anubian Wolves x 3 - 420 Air elemental - 450 Death Knights x 2 - 120 Dumutef Guards x 4 - 220 Khosumet - 295 Anubian Wolves x 2 - 445 So, meh. #1 faced an opponent it couldn't handle well (Marro Hounds), but I haven't completely given up on it. #2 Seems like too few squaddies. I'll probably drop Khosumet and add a squad of wolves. AW88 Currently playing: Dixit; Catan; Pastiche; and waiting for my copy of Critical Mass to arrive from Arcane Wonders! Dum Vivimus, Vivamus! |

I agree with Kevin that Elves are hard at 450. I think 490 is really the number where they shine (Ulginesh, Raelin, Arkmer, Kyntela, Jorhdawn, Chardris). At 450 you have to cut something and play bad filler. You don't really want WoA in wizard armies, since that takes OMs off Ulginesh and you want to take turns with him exclusively. My main advice is that Emiroon is quite bad and not at all worth 80 points. The army will be much much better with Raelin. Raelin benefits high life heroes so much since she drastically slows the rate at which they take wounds. Quote:

Adjacency requiring attack boosts for melee that move on order markers separate to the figure that will receive the boost aren't that good. If it's for Gencon, maybe those are weaknesses you want to have. But it's probably weaker than the average army people bring to RtW 10 Years of Gencon/Scapecon Battle Reports - Comic Battle Reports - Probability Calculator App - Reverse the Whip Army Archetypes "It's all about the game." - Sgt.

Re: 450 point army
Even with RtW considerations, this is a legitimate criticism. The GenCon maps are somewhat larger than the DFW metagame - we tend to pick melee friendly. While there are some of those on the GenCon map roster, maps like Elswin Plateau are very range-friendly.

Re: 450 point army
You misspelled Marrden Nagrubs and TKN as "4th Mass" and "Sam Brown", respectively.

Re: 450 point army
Honestly, I kind of am used to large maps, which is why I value range so much. Considering the snall tourney maps, I suppose melee armies could be useful. A small map melee army I used to love is:
Saylind the Kyrie Warrior: 80 Alastair MacDirk (or sir Gilbert): 110 (100) MacDirk Warriors x3: 240 Isamu: 10 Total: 440 (430) Strategy is fairly simple like most small armies: Charge in with MacDirks and their champion, keep Saylind in your spawn somewhere safe. As soon as your champion has suffered enough damage to maxamize your MacDirks' attack, use saylind to summon him back to the spawn. Your opponent will probably be forced to face every single last one of your MacDirks at full strength before they can kill your champion. The remains should hopefully not be too much for your three heroes to clean up. The major weaknesses are squad killers obviously, and anything with disengage. |

Re: 450 point army
That Saylind OM will be a killer even if you time it right. You're probably better off just running away in the usual fashion.
I played against a MacDirk build once that had Isamu punch Alistair in the face on the first OM of the game, then just hit Alistair in the back while using another champion. Against a melee or short-ranged opponent who didn't have any assassination figures, it could be kind of unstoppable if you were throwing 6 dice from the get-go. |

Re: 450 point army
I'm not surprised; I knew you had done it with Gurei-Oni before.
