8!!!! The best I've ever seen is 3.

AE any thing with frenzy. Oh and dund, but only when I use him I get scared I'll never get him to work right before he gets blown away. Funny how scared he makes every one.

I'll go with Ne-Gok-Sa. My brother shackled 3 of my units in one game. Then, the next game we played I attacked him about 10 times without causing a single wound. Ne-gok walks right up and shackles my full health Q9. Thats the first time I ever got angry at a game of heroscape...

The Fyorlag Spiders scare me. Those things just look... nasty.

When I opened my first Ticalla Jungle, I dropped a Fyorlag Spider under my couch. When I got down on the floor and looked under there to get it, I couldn't see the base of the figure, and it was really dark. I just saw this huge spider staring back at me. It was freaky.

We've played a few mixed games and Braxas always ends up there. When your figures cost 300 or so points, she's very frightening.

All Classic games though, I'd have to say I'm a little worried when I see Cyprien.

Most of the time it's a case by case thing. When I first got wave 8 and 8,5 we played a six player game with 500 or 600 point armies composed of the themes of the new pieces (one elves, one marro, one wolves, one knights, one Japan, and one leftovers). In that game, everyone was terrified of Zelrig. Other than the elf army, everything pretty much laid down and died before him. I would say he can be scary if you end up with the wrong army.

Nice. What did you end up doing to it?

Whenever my buddy uses the Sentinals of Jandar I have terrible time taking them down. He'll consistently roll two shields for defense, making it next to impossible to kill them...that scares me.


Seriously...I lie awake at night thinking about it...

Yea, the Sentinels could be a pain to take out. I'm always weary when I face them cause' they're so tough. Their shields can be frustrating when you throw everything you have at them and they just keep blocking it all.


They get my vote for toughest squad to take down. 2x Sentinels and Raelin is something my brother likes to use....a lot. That's a solid 300 point core. Course' when he uses that I'm obliged to take 2x Minions to butt heads with em'. Probably about 50-50 as far as our Sentinels vs Minions battles go.

Just waiting for someone to say..."But Uprising....you're playing them wrong. That's not how their powers were designed. Tie em down with Rats and blast em with Stingers"...

[killercactus]

Deadeye works pretty well to take down Sentinels. Of course, there's always Braxas too..... but in regular, hand to hand combat, those things are tough.

Thankfully I was able to keep my wits about me and not crush it or run away screaming. It really freaked me out at first, but I just had to think to myself "It's a plastic spider. What did you think you were gonna see under there? A can of soup?"

[braveheart101]

Q9, Kelda, Cyprien, Stingers, charos, AE, 4Th mass, and Taelord.

I had 4 against me in a tournament >_<

I have the same problem as Jaz1597, except with Death reavers... And then when I do fall asleep, I have nightmares about them...
