The Book of Knights of Blackgaard
The Book of Knights of Blackgaard Lodin's Discord - C3V Wave 5 - Evil of Blood River The figures used for this unit are Aasimar Fighter #1 from the D&D War of the Dragon Queen set, Phalanx Soldier #7 from the D&D Unhallowed set, Axe Soldier #4 from the D&D War Drums set, and Royal Guard #28 from the D&D Underdark set. Character Bio: Not many forces have stood against the legendary Knights of Weston, fewer have matched them in combat. And even fewer than that, indeed only one force, has ever made the valiant knights know fear: the Knights of Blackgaard. Though slow on the march, when the Knights of Blackgaard enter battle, they surge forward with deadly energy that only grows stronger as the battle heightens. A deadly force in and of themselves, the Knights of Blackgaard are even more relentless in battle when joined by those who share their rage. Utgar has found an army of men who match his own ferocity, and now Valhalla trembles. Quote:

Re: The Book of the Knights of Blackgaard
Now that the Book is done what's the sweetspot for these guys? At there expensive cost how many squads are usually ran in a standard 500-750 point game?

KoB x2 Incendiborgs Khoshumet(Armocs?) ---------- 485/495 This would probably be my go to build with them. If you could squeeze in another squad with incendies they'd be ridiculous. Heres an obvious one for theme: Hawthorne KoB x3 Dumetef x2 ------ 500 I think its a little depressing how relatively unsynergistic these guys are with Hawthrone. Thats probably my only critisicm. Last one that really intruges me right now is a VV one.... KoB x2 VV x4 -------- Set everyone up. Hit init switch on your command. Don't play against range. (I don't think venocs really like these guys, I'd rather put OMs on them.) Actually, this army is one I really want to try: Raelin SOTM KoB x3 Dumetef(if points allow) ----------- 480/505 Set up the KoB in RaeRae aura, they rush her in and get off lots of whirlwinds and make her impossible to ignore. Best army for them, I bet (at 500) and the reason they are 120 points, is: KoB x4. Slow roll, hit a double turn with init, never look back. Steamroller 2.0. Mimring>Krug. 'Nuff said.

Re: The Book of the Knights of Blackgaard
I agree entirely - these guys are really cool, but they really should have worked with Hawthorne in some way other than just being able to be paired with him and still get their relentless bonus, IMO. These guys are actually one of Hawthorne's worst allies, because they can't bond with him and anyone who can isn't relentless, making Hawthorne a terrible pick with these guys, as he's really at hs best as a bonding hero. Please tell me that there'll be a Relentless unit down the line, hopefully with this theme, who synergises with Hawthorne.

Re: The Book of the Knights of Blackgaard
Extra Attack Dice Don't Cost THAT much!
Knights of Blackgaard x2 240 Taelord 420 Khosumet 495 Or, rather... Knights of Blackgaard x2 240 Havech Eradicators x2 420 Khosumet 495 Which option would be better? The second one seems to fill out start zone spaces more. "elvenwizard9." Now that's a username I've not heard in a long time.

Taelord would be fun to pair with them. Maybe Taelord + Raelin + 2xKoB. They get 4 attack, 6 defense until Raelin goes down, at which point they go to 5 attack, 4 defense. Not super competitive. Their best option with Taelord would probably require higher point values. I'm pretty sure these guys are best when paired with Vulcanmechs.

Re: The Book of the Knights of Blackgaard
I think Utgar Human Champion Bonding would have been cool, and could have added a nice touch to them. I am guessing it was tested though and found to be too powerful?

Re: The Book of the Knights of Blackgaard
3x KoB and Vulcanmech is strong; I playtested them and they dominated the KoW on Dry Season. That was when they were 110/115 points.

Re: The Book of the Knights of Blackgaard
I don't remember it, but it might have been in the initial playtests. To be honest I think people underestimate them too much. 8 attacks of 4 (or 5 from height) on back to back turns can be brutal and really decimate things.

Maybe I should play these guys in the next online tourney I'm in. |
