Competitive, But More Fun Than Competitive

[DrLivingston]

So you and your buddy are about to play 'Scape.

But everyone is sick to death of Mass Line

Or Stingers

Or Effing Gruts...

What do you guys bring out?

Fun... But not so fun that you lose.

Assume 500ish armies.

And really effing orcs are not cool...*

[Neo]

Tenth x 4
Marcus
Greeks x 2
drop a tenth

[armiller2015]

Groks x2 260
NGS 350
Roman Legos x3 500

Add Marcus for 600 points.

I think that he wanted something a little better than groks.

I wonder if this would be competitive but I get the feeling this is fun to play with, although no surprises with the OM...

Iron Golem x5

[Shedim Kabal]

Didn't Revdyer have something to say about this? Yeah, thought so.

Well it's the Year of the Dragon so:
Greenscales + Raelin + Heirloom + Dragon

Per Filthy: Phantom Knights x4, Hydra, Heirloom

This one's a little more fun than competitive, but so much fun it's worth it: Aubrien Archers x2, Death Knights of Valkrill x3, Dumutef Guard, Venoc Warlord, Air Elemental

[Son of Arathorn]

Phantom Knights x4
Cyprien
Sonya
Isamu
495 points, 15 hexes
Or trade out Sonya & Isamu for Marro Warriors for a nice clean-up unit.

Well met!

From an old post:

"I have been focused of late on Syvarris/melee armies. Just playing Syvarris, rather than the Krav, is less "competitive," most agree . . .

The Werewolf Lord is so cool! And once he gets a piece of you, he only needs an 11 to give you a bonus turn . . .! The Wolves of Badru are not the Anubians, which we all know should be able to bond with Darklords too, but they're not so bad. Pounce is devastating against otherwise melee impervious Warriors of Ashra, for example. . . .

So I figure it like this. The general plan, with Syvarris, is to use range superiority to dictate the timing of my melee onslaught. There are other, stronger combinations of units available, the cheesiest of which are very much stronger, I suspect. But I figure that no one is going to be super cheesy. Even moderate cheesy will take some heat. The WoB are C+! So, although my army is strategically top tier, and answers most of the questions raised in the Idiot's Guide, and could conceivably win the tournament, it is uncheesy enough that my brilliance will be praised, rather than my cheesiness denigrated. . . ."

I played the following in that tourney, ending up at 4-1.
240 WoB x 3
140 WWL
100 Syvarris
480, 12 spaces

At 500, I might try

160 WoB x 2
140 Werewolf Lord
100 Wyvern
100 Krav
500, 13 spaces

Anything with the Krav is competitive, and anything with a Wyvern is fun!
