Character Bio: (by TheAverageFan)
Daemon, son of Timothy of the Weston guard, stared out at the wind-whipped tundra before him. Nothing. There was always nothing. The great northern fortresses of Jandar had many artifacts of great value, even in a smaller outpost like this, but it would be madness to try to take them, so far north of the war as they were. But outposts needed guards, even if it was more out of principle than anything. Daemon sighed and continued his walk further down the walls. Always nothing ...

A guard with keener eyes might have seen the small army down below right outside the castle walls: white-clad soldiers lying prone, hiding amidst the snow and winds. No one would have tried to break in. No one but Vydar.

Two of the soldiers pressed tightly against the wall, handling their rifles and hand-gesturing to the others. A third crawled up and stuck a brick of semtex to the fortress, “Deploying C4.”

While Daemon made his rounds above waiting for time to pass, the troops below checked their synchronized watches, also waiting. At 12:15 on the dot, Vydar would make his move across all of Valhalla.

The Microcrop Troopers are Bill Gates's special team of photoshoppers.

So I tried out the Troopers today, and was extremely impressed. They might not look that great on Paper, but the almost always garanteed attack of 4, +3 attacks of 2-3 is pretty awesome. No height for opponents is just icing on the Cake.


I do find it funny that these are the perfect counter to the Microcorp Agents, because they really need height to be effective.

Anyone have extra AT-43 UNA Star Troopers models?

Vydar's Betrayal thematic army

Microcorp Troopers x3 240
Raelin 80
Augamo 155
Kursus 55 (or Marcu for 500 pts)

Total: 530

The microcorp troopers form the bulk of this army, so that's why they're posted in this thread. With four defense boosted by Raelin and an immunity to height advantage, these guys can reliably defend against some of the toughest figues in the game (Q9, Stingers, WTF mass). Add in the fact that they get three ranged attacks of two and one of six, and I see them packing a huge punch.

For whatever these guys can't handle such as big heroes especially dragons we have Augamo. With his huge defense (it can also be boosted by Raelin, but doesn't have to be) he can serve as a roadblock. His special attack dispatches rats with ease and allows him to get to units that trouble the troopers such as KMA or cheerleaders.

Kursus serves as a cavalry unit. He has more mobility than the rest of the army with the exception of Raelin, and is great at dispatching swarm armies that would give my costly squadies trouble.

As always, any comments are appreciated.

HWSA has a 4 attack, not 6. Your ideas still stand, of course.

It has six range so that's probably what confused you.

Well.... yeah but whatever point is I point at things and they die
