505 Point Competitive Armies
I've read a number of Heroscapers metagame summaries lately, where 505 point tournament winning armies were mentioned.
By contrast, my searches for threads devoted to 505 point competitive armies didn't turn up anything, so I figured I'd start this one up. Without further ado: Nilfheim - 185 Sir Dupuis - 150 Knights of Weston x2 - 140 Eldgrim - 30 --------------------------- 505 points On a small map, I witnessed this army steamroll an army consisting of Glads x1, Blasts x1, Krav, Major Q10, and Laglor. In this army, Nilfheim can either operate behind a screen of Knights or the Knights can charge forward with Eldgrim leading the way and establishing early engagement. Sir Dupuis is an outstanding assassin (and a good target for Eldgrim's spirit) when he charges past units (Tactical Disengagement 7) to deliver 7A attacks, boosted +3A by Knight's Courage. I don't imagine that the above army is as powerful as other KoW and Nilfheim builds (i.e. KoW x3, Sir Gilbert, and Nilfheim = 500 points), but it is a fun alternative if you'd like to field Sir Dupuis or if you lack certain figures (i.e. the 3rd set of KoW and Gilbert in my case). |

Re: 505 Point Competitive Armies
I actually went to a 505 tournament. It was a lot of fun. One of my friends did very well with two squads of rats, four squads of stingers, and Nilf. It is a great army because despite the fact that it doesn't have a lot of synergy, but it still has the best dragon, one of the best cheap common squads, and the best map controlling common squad. As long as order markers are handled well, anyone can win any tournament with that army.

It's still one of the best armies out there. Jexik added Isamu to it, dubbed it "Vanilla Ice," and won a tourney with it somewhere in the Midwest. |

Re: 505 Point Competitive Armies
Yeah, I saw 505 points and the latest post by Nadom and knew what his would be about.
Ice, Ice, Baby! But it was a 520 point tournament, and I used Isamu as mentioned by Nadom. And only 12 people showed up. But [5] a win's a win, right? Right? I also really like 4x Stingers, Raelin, and Zelrig for 505. I almost won a 510 point tourney with that. Last edited by Jexik; May 19th, 2009 at 08:56 PM. |

Just to throw it out there, this becomes even more interesing (read as noncompetitive, but crazy amounts of fun) if you tweak it into this: Stingers x4 Fyorlag Spiders x2 Sujoah I've played this one and the Stingers have to do a little bit more of the "heavy lifting" against enemy squads, but (much like with Zelrig, but in a different way), they compensate for Sujoah's weaknesses nicely.

And as you mentioned, Stingers complement him well by doing well against spread out commons and tough uniques. (As do minions). |

Re: 505 Point Competitive Armies
Venoc Warlord - 120
Armoc Vipers - 185 Zetacron - 245 Mohicans x3 - 455 Brave Arrow - 505 Standard Raelin-less Mohican build with Zetacron for hero killing and Armocs to help out Mittens in the end-game. Dwarves x3 - 210 Migol - 320 Zelrig / Nilfheim - 505 Standard Dwarf build, either using Zelrig to kill cheap squads or Nilfheim functioning behind a Dwarf screen. I prefer Zelrig here (which might be a first) thanks to the Dwarves Large-Huge killing abilities. Nilfheim - 185 Raelin SotM - 305 Marro Dividers x4 - 505 Nilfheim functions behind a screen of tough Dividers. Pretty solid I think. Cyprien - 150 Sonya - 195 Raelin - 275 Repulsors x4 - 435 Zetacron - 495 Isamu - 505 This would probably look much better at 515 with Repulsors x3, Snipers x2 instead of Raelin, Isamu and Zetacron. It could also work with Raelin SotM, dropping a Repulsor squad. Either way, it seems kind of forced at 505. I just thought Cyprien / Sonya was a good "5" unit to pair with Repulsors.

Here are a few that I've come up with. Cyprien - 150 Sonya - 45 Krug - 120 Arrow Gruts x3 - 120 Swog Rider x2 - 50 Marcu - 20 -------------------------- 505 Points, 18 Hexes At least the above army is Utgar-specific. Cyprien - 150 Sonya - 45 Marro Stingers x5 - 300 Isamu - 10 -------------------------- 505 Points, 18 Hexes Cyprien for non-Soulborg heroes and ranged squads. Stingers for squads and Soulborgs (i.e. Q9). Isamu is an afterthought based on the point total. Utgar-specific. This army would really struggle against a Tron build. Grimnak - 120 Blade Gruts x3 - 120 Nilfheim - 185 Raelin - 80 -------------------------- 505 Points, 18 Hexes This army is nasty. The blades screen for Nilfheim supported by Raelin. Braxas - 210 Zelrig - 185 Marro Dividers x2 - 100 Isamu - 10 --------------------------- 505 Points, 11 Hexes Isamu is, once again, an afterthought in this Dragon build. Minions x2 - 220 Krav - 100 Zelrig - 185 --------------------------- 505 Points, 11 Hexes Zelrig for squads at the beginning of the game. Krav follow-up for luring purposes. Minions for heroes and clean-up. Minions x2 - 220 Atlaga - 90 Isamu - 10 Zelrig - 185 --------------------------- 505 Points, 10 Hexes Zelrig for squads at the beginning of the game. Minions for heroes and clean-up. Atlaga for movement boost and hero deterant (Witherwood +attack). Deathreavers x2 - 80 Marro Stingers x4 - 240 Nilfheim - 185 --------------------------- 505 Points, 22 Hexes (Jexik 5-0) Nilfheim - 185 Marrden Hounds x3 - 270 Deathreavers - 40 --------------------------- 495 Points, 24 Hexes Wall Nilfheim off with Deathreavers in your start zone and save him for mid-end game (or vs. Deathreavers). Lead with the Hounds. Zelrig - 185 Marrden Hounds x3 - 270 Marro Warriors - 50 --------------------------- 505 Points, 24 Hexes Lead with Zelrig. Minimize Marro Warrior start-zone adjacency with Marrden Hounds (ideally so that any adjacent Hounds could be moved away prior to Marro Plague, even on a bad movement roll). Mid-game with Hounds. Marro Warriors for clean-up. Nilfheim - 185 Nakitas - 120 Raelin - 80 Deathreavers x3 - 120 --------------------------- 505 Points, 18 Hexes Deathreavers screen for Nilfheim supported by Raelin and Nakitas. Raelin - 80 Marro Stingers x4 - 240 Zelrig - 185 --------------------------- 505 Points, 15 Hexes (Jexik 4-1) 10th Reg x3 - 225 Marcus - 100 Raelin - 80 Dumutef Guard x4 - 100 --------------------------- 505 Points, 22 Hexes (Onacara 4-1) Nilfheim - 185 Deathreavers x2 - 80 4th Mass x3 - 210 Marcu - 20 Isamu - 10 --------------------------- 505 Points, 24 Hexes Zelrig - 185 Marrden Hounds x2 - 180 Airborne Elite - 110 Marcu - 20 Isamu - 10 --------------------------- 505 Points, 20 Hexes Lead with Zelrig. Follow-up with Hounds, and drop the AE whenever you can after the 1st round. Zelrig - 185 Marro Stingers x3 - 180 Airborne Elite - 110 Marcu - 20 Isamu - 10 --------------------------- 505 Points, 17 Hexes Lead with Zelrig. Follow-up with Stingers, and drop the AE whenever you can after the 1st round. Alternatively, drop the AE on the 1st round well out of range. Use Zelrig for a OM1&2 bomb, and use the AE to snipe for Zelrig or to attempt assasinations. Stingers for mid-endgame. Last edited by mccombju; July 30th, 2009 at 12:24 AM. |

Re: 505 Point Competitive Armies
Maybe not so much competitive as it is fun but here it is:
225 Jotun 345 Nakita Agents 505 Sonlen 505pts/6hex Jotun throws figures into the Nakita Agents and Sonlen reheals Jotun. I was going to post this in the 500pt fun themed thread but then noticed it's 505 and probably not themed, but hey a big Giant, with a Elf, and 3 hot Chicks is thematic isn't it. Sorry for the necro.
