Re: C3V/SoV-inclusive Power Rankings
Sorry.........................
Anyways, I have played the Hulks a couple more time. They may not have great survivability, and their Rise Again power may not work well when large/huge figures don't come into play. But I don't think that they deserve their rank because they are not as worth as much as another squad of zombies. They can deal the damage necessary to bring down heroes that zombies can't bring down with out losing the height that is difficult for them to get in the first place. Their bonding does have its setback, but a clever player can usually play intelligently enough to make it so that you don't get screwed. They may be B+ worthy, although some more playing is necessary to make sure that is certain. They fill a different niche than the ZoM, one that complements the ZoM's playstyle.

Re: C3V/SoV-inclusive Power Rankings
We played a bunch of C3V stuff at our last game day. It was supposed to be a tournament but it devolved into a regular game day.
I played the following army: Omegacron 180 3x Repulsors 300 Cyprien 450 Sonya 495 Not enough games/competitive enough of an atmosphere to really say anything, but Omegacron with a mobile screen is pretty decent. Nothing to throw a parade over, but it's a solid B, maybe B+ if played well. Other people played Omegacron with 1 squad of snipers and a mess of repulsors. There was decent success with that. The player with that army said they really liked having only 1 squad of Snipers, as he thought more would be overkill when you've got a screen. Varkaans also did well, but not overly. They're good against melee but expensive against range. And range is good against melee and even with range, so you I don't know how competitive the Varkaans can be. If I'd like to see any of the C3V units really explored competitively, it's definitely Omegacron. He has the most potential. Handle origin: I used to film comedy skits with my friends. I didn't want any cursing in them, so I made up new insults, like "dendrik". Then Sir Denrick came out, and the rest is history. |

Re: C3V/SoV-inclusive Power Rankings
Yesterday I went to the Portland NHDS and brought the 4x mariedians and 2x of each wyrmling plus otonashi. Another guy brought omegacron with 2x snipers 3x repulsors and filler. It was a doubled edged sword format so a lot of the units were B rated with a little bit of A units. I went 5-2 and beat my army twice and lost to it twice. The omegacron army did well I think but I didn't watch his games that much. I think the mariedians are good were they are and are a solid B unit.

Re: C3V/SoV-inclusive Power Rankings
Nice list. I definitely have to put myself in the group that hasn't figured out how to use the Gnids.
Their greatest flexibility comes with the Marro Hive in play - and that isn't that often. Without the Hive, they are simply a 4-squad two-attack melee unit. I'd rather spend the 50 points on another Divider or Drone squad. (I wonder what the probability of kills is for four attacks of two dice vs three attacks of three) As well, given that you have to have a successful attack AND then kill one of them to make cling work (which means you take engagement away), I just don't see them as a B+ unit. In fact, I'd rank 'em a C The future of scape is players like us who support a community like this - with new maps, scenarios and events. Playing scape. Not buying scape...

Re: C3V/SoV-inclusive Power Rankings
Trust me, the Gnids are definately a "B" unit. You have to swarm with them even without the hive, they get thier points worth...maybe not with kills per se...but making that much easier to for the rest of the Army to kill figures that have been *infected*.
Yes you may lose the engagement when you cling, but your oppnent loses Defense and Movement...and the loss of both makes the Gnids very formidable in every game I've played with them.

I've also added the Zettian Infantry, although the book probably won't go up until we have the new card from the C3V art department. I was pretty aggressive in their initial placement - I put them at B+ and bumped their bonding heroes to B. I think most of the SoV judges would have gone a notch or two lower on both counts. We'll see how they do when they get played at events. Last edited by dok; December 22nd, 2011 at 12:31 AM. Reason: Well... 7k isn't a B. |

Re: C3V/SoV-inclusive Power Rankings
Of the official figures I think Cyprien value has dropped by a pretty good amount in the era of fan scape. With both the Zettian Infantry and Omegacron allowing more viable soulborg army cores it makes it that much harder for me to take Cyprien to a tournament. If you are going to a tournament that allows C3V-SoV there is a heightened chance of facing one of those builds, because people will obviously want to try out the new units. I also assume Vulcanmech Incendiborgs are soulborgs which will also hurt Cyprien worth. I'm not sure if all that justify a drop in grade, I'm just saying that I would not even think of bringing Cyprien to a tournament were C3V and SoV are allowed, just to risky. In reality time will only tell how the new units affect the meta game and it's affect on official figures.

Re: C3V/SoV-inclusive Power Rankings
I played a team drafting tournament yesterday and had a good experience just using Nicholas by himself as an assassin. I made several mistakes with him in one of the two games I played. Instead of attacking Q9 I attacked a 2 life Marro Hive which could have been taken out by my teammate. Eventually Nicholas died and my mezzodemons got killed by Q9.
In my other game he took out a ton of Aubrien Archers and a 3 wyrmlings earning his points easily. At the end of the game he was still at full life. He is definitely worth his points just by himself without the Thralls. |
