a Cyprien army
yo i am building an army for a friendly game later this week. Now I am not sure what the point value will be but if the past is anything to go on it could be really high but mostly we like 550 points. So right now there are two armies I am thinking of and they both have Cyprien and Q9 in them. I have not really played ether and want to play them at the same time. so what do you think of these two armies??
Axegrinders of Burning Forge 140 2 × 70 Cyprien Esenwein 150 Eldgrim the Viking Champion 30 Major Q9 180 Sonya Esenwein 45 = 545 i like the Axegrinders cause they can move really fast when they need yo while at the same time being a strong force. now i could put in the knights and have them bound with Eldgrim but i would lose the mobility. Axegrinders of Burning Forge 140 2 × 70 Cyprien Esenwein 150 Major Q9 180 Raelin the Kyrie Warrior 80 or Finn =550 if i played Finn i might also play the knights just as an opener and when he dies put him on Cyprien. The big thing that i do not like about this one is that i would not have Sonya in there to help Cyp out. so what do you all think should i play it or change it? |

Re: a Cyprien army
The first army is definitely better.

Re: a Cyprien army
Cyprien-150
Q9-330 Sonya-375 That is your base build for certain, and it leaves 175 Pts. For squads, I would suggest that you go with x2 Squads of Phantom Knights, putting you at 515. That means you can put in 35 points of whatever the heck you want. So here is your army. Cyprien-150 Q9-330 Sonya-375 x2 Phantom Knights-515 Drow Chainfighter-540 Isamu-550 Send out Cyprien first to mess with early approaching melee sqauds, and then send out the Phantom Knights to wreck havoc on the opponent. When your opponent finally gets to advancing his scattered units, send out the Drow Chainfighter and the wounded Sonya to act as decoys, while Q9 moves to an advantageous point. After that, it is a simple mow down of his units with Q9. Isamu it there for clean-up. Tourney Record:17-10 (08/02/11) |

Re: a Cyprien army
The first one is definitely better just because of the flexibility of the army. Axegrinders take on Deathwalkers, Cyprien everything, Q9 rats. Eldgrim on Q9 of course. The second one is almost as good.

Re: a Cyprien army
why does Eldgrim go on Q9 and not Cyp?

Re: a Cyprien army
I actually kind of like the Cyprien + Dwarves idea. Cyprien has problems with Q9 and Q10, while the Dwarves wreck those guys. I might be tempted to just drop the big robot though and go all dwarf....
Cyprien - 150 Sonya - 195 Marcu - 215 Dwarves x3 - 425 Mogrimm - 545, 16 hexes Marcu can be a glyph grabber or a cleanup guy. With Mogrimm, even when your OM's are on Cyprien you'll get the initiative boost. The Dwarves rock against big Soulborgs, and Cyprien rocks against Deathreavers and other squaddies. Looks like a pretty fun and strong army to play. Like battle reports? Click Tourney Reports (New 10/21/2012 - Cutters / Brutes!) KC's Maps Click KC's Customs Scaper of the Week #57 |

Re: a Cyprien army
Q9
Cyprien Sonya Rats x2 Raelin Isamu Rats & Raelin are proven to be powerful teammates for Q9, with the fast ranging Isamu and Cyprien to disrupt the opponent. Or perhaps something a bit more versatile that would use the 175: Anubian Wolves x2 & Dumetef or 10th Foot x2 & Chain Fighter |

Re: a Cyprien army
At 550, (And my favorite Cyprien army):
045 Sonya 195 Cyprien 545 4th mass x5 (if I were going to gencon I would be using this -1x 4th) |

Re: a Cyprien army
Frylock is correct. Cyprien is always fast enough, but Q9 has been known to never get to height and been destroyed by people like sonya because of it.
