410 point tourney army help

sorry if this thread has already been started, but i need help for a tourney comin up on the 24th [of April]

What do you guys think would be the best way to spend 110 pts in melee squads?

for example:
Warriors of Ashra x2
Isamu

or anything better you can think of?
Thanks

My 2011 tourney record: 7-7
My 2010 tourney record: 7-9

Re: Best melee squad?

If you could make room for more points, I would choose the Knights. They are by far the best melee squad around. I would maybe also choose the Deathreavers. Not an attack force, but sure a dandy to kill.

I love birdies and butterflies and rainbows and unicorns and glitter.

Re: Best melee squad?

For melee I think Warriors of Ashra and Isamu are the best you can get for the price of 110 points.
W.o.A. have 3 attack and 3 defense for stats which is pretty solid for a cheap squad. They have a good chance to block all damage from a melee attack and Isamu can dodge and does a decent attack.

Re: Best melee squad?

Is this a melee only tourney?

If I had 110 points to spend on a melee unit I would just take Sgt Drake Alexander...sure he cant attack as often but he also cant get bumped off from ranged units before he gets a chance to do some damage.

Special Attacks? If he was immune to special attacks from a distance, Q9 would be alot more balanced, imo.

But yeah, he is a good option, as is Alastair MacDirk (though I think that I'd still take Drake first.) As far as squads go, WoA are good against melee-only teams, Marrden Hounds will decimate some squads with the plague, and Minions are pretty good at filling in a 110 point gap.

However, it really depends on the rest of your army.

Your talking about the 24th Tourney, being the Gamers Reunion? If that is, I could probably loan you Kaemon, and if I can't go, I bet there are other people who would.

Re: Best melee squad?

Kaemon Awa was your best figure. What do you have to choose from?

Re: Best melee squad?

Don't take Saylin to a tourney, he would be a waste of points in that setting. If you want help building an army you will have to let us know what figures you have and what, if any, rules you must abide by for the tourney.
