Re: Expansion Recomendations
By Weird Al: I bought it On Ebay (To the tune of I want it that way). Great song.
Without dark, there is no light. Without bad HScape figs, there are no good ones. Dund is important, therefore |

Re: Expansion Recomendations
Here would be my suggestions:
Fortress of the Archkyrie (if available) 1. Aquilla Alliance - Great expansion, includes Zelrig and Zetacron 2 Utgar's Revenge - 2 of the Minutemen & Wolves 3 2 of the Warriours & Soulborgs from Thora's Vengeance 4a Jandar's Oath - The Gorillas and Hounds 4b Thora's Vengeance - The Soulbourgs If the Fortress isn't available, you can get everything else from housemousegames.com and the Terrain Maps are great. I like the water ones to base a battlefield on. Or as someone suggested, get another ROTV master set, that is the least expensive way to get terrain. Hope this helps! AKA Agent Johnny Utah |

Re: Expansion Recomendations
What I'm thinking right now is...
1 SotM 2-3 RttFF 2 Minutemen and Wolves 1 Heroes of Durgeth 1 Complete Set Wave 8 1+ Fortress (Provided the pricing isn't rediculous.) 2+ LEXON Mats Possibly 1 AA or 1 Rakners Vision I've notice since I've started looking around about 2-3 weeks ago that a lot of places say out of stock, but still have the item on their page. In that time till now almost none have actually restocked. Do they not actually restock or does it just take a lot of time? |

Re: Expansion Recomendations
Restocking times... might as well check a Magic 8-Ball.
Stores can't just call up their distributor and order a new batch. A lot of the stuff out there simply isn't available anymore. Many stores leave the pages up until they get more stock, but there's no time frame on this. Wave 3 is a good example. WOTC found some more Wave 3 in their warehouses a while back and sent it out through the distributors, great. So places restocked Wave 3... for a while. Now? There's pretty much none out there. WOTC is out of stock, so the distributors are out of stock, and thus the stores CAN'T restock. Not until WOTC does a reprint of Wave 3. And they're not planning to anytime soon. Currently, they're planning to reprint Wave 1... this SUMMER. And onyl Wave 1, not any other waves. They're also not planning to reprint Fortress or ROTV. So those won't be restocked. |

Are you looking to be a competitive tournament player? Or do you want to get some friends and have a bunch of samurai bring swords to a soulborg gunfight? Competitively, you'll want either Grut Orcs and Swog Riders (plus Krug) or Lots of 4th Mass. Line or Deathreavers. Regardless, you want Raknar's Vision Large Set for Major Q9. For friendly play? Go for things that give you more variety and fun. Get a Large set... Raknar's Vision is still a great choice. It has Q9 the soulborg, a gryphon, a giant and TWO dragons. They're figs people love to play with in general, and most of them are quite strong to boot. But then get packs that add variety. In this sense, I would actually concentrate on packs with uniques. Get the various Hero packs. Get the Nakitas and Gladiators. Don't worry about the common squads and needing 2-3 packs of each. The exception: Zombies. Get zombies. Zombies come as 2 squads in one pack, so you are well set with only one pack. Plus they're zombies! It comes down to what you want out of the game. Myself, I play with my kids. We want cool heroes and a variety of choices. Getting 3 sets of deathreavers would just see them sit in the box. Kids don't deathreavers, they want dragons! Given my focus, I'm concentrating on maximum figure count for minimum bucks. I don't much care how good or bad the figs are, I just want to play them. |

Re: Expansion Recomendations
I'm pretty new at the game still, and I have to agree with what a lot of people have suggested so far.
Swarm of the Marro is the big must-have if you really want to get some bang for the buck as far as units and hexes. I know you said you're not a big fan of Utgar units, but these guys might make up for it with their synergy with the Hive. Next, I'd be looking at units that enhance the units you already have. You shouldn't have trouble finding the Wave 2 Knights, and those are great because they bond with human champions, which include those viking heroes in ROTV you probably hardly use. You'll probably also want the orcs from Wave 1. I want them too, and I'll be getting them when they're re-released this summer. They help power up Mimring and Grimnak. Going back to Wave 2, the Minutemen are a great squad, and their all-valiant bonus takes advantage of a number of ROTV units and the knights. Also, if you can get over your distaste for Utgar units in general, you might wan the Drones and Minions. The Drones work well with the Hive, and the Minions are just bad-ass. So, yeah, get all of Wave 2 while you can, and get at least two of all the common packs. You can also find Wave 8 around, but there's not much terribly appealing to me in there. I don't like the elves because I don't like the idea of having to use what's essentially a very specific, pre-built army. The Soldiers and Wolves are good, though the 4th Reg are slightly redundant if you have 10th Mass. The Marro Cavalry could be handy as they bond with Ne-Gok-Sa from ROTV and Be-Burk-Sa from the Wave 2 hero pack, but I don't think they're a good deal as you just get 3 units per package. They're also expensive to draft. Aquilla's Alliance is still readily available. Not much synergy going on there, but all very good units. I know you said you didn't care what is and isn't in stock, but you'll get more for you money buying stuff that's more readily available. |

Re: Expansion Recomendations
Warriors and Soulborgs has the rats. WoA aren't bad either. I'm pretty sure he meant that.
I don't think he was talking about a specific pack when he mentioned Minions and Sentinels. Just talking about them both in general. Both of which are good suggestions.

Sorry, but what's WoA? Is that the Warriors in the Warriors and Soulborgs pack? Also, what are Sentinels? I don't see that in the list of packs I'm looking at...the list could be wrong though.
