Re: Casters of Valhalla
Finally got to listen to this at work today! Really good stuff! There's been mention bout the length of the second recording, but I don't think I minded as much (because I was at work...) and it sounds like you'll have that under control in the future.
I completely agreed with the huge variance compiled in the Marrden Hounds. They're probably my least favorite unit to play -- as noted, not because they're bad, but because of the variance. For the Groks, have any of you tried mixing a squad in with Romans? I tried that at an earlier Utah tourney to decent effect, though of course I had 3x Romans and Raelin, so it's hard to be bad with that. Plus our Utah competitive-level is much lower than GenCon. They were nice for the possible 5A against a big hero, though. Anyway, love the podcast! I've been excited for it ever since hearing it was going to be a thing! Thanks to all who are involved bringing it to life! Monthly Utah Tournaments in SLC!!

I've never done a 1x Grok splash with Romans before; it certainly seems fun, and might be something that's viable in the Main Event RtW meta. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for listening! Casters of Valhalla: THE Competitive HeroScape Podcast!

Re: Casters of Valhalla
Just a general question you can cover. How do you beat vegietarian18 on an online game? No hurry, just need you to brake down the answer completely before I play this week! Seriously, thanks for doing this podcast, it will be awesome!!
What GenCon taught me was to assume only one skull on three dice! |

Re: Casters of Valhalla
2016 was a high point total Main Event Year, allowing some reasonable Grok builds. I went a similar vein but opposite splash for prep events. Groks x2, NGS, MBS, Raelin, MW, Romans x1, Marcu. Surprisingly effective when ordered correctly.
I think any competitive Grok build has to be played at 530 to include MW with the obvious base build |

Re: Casters of Valhalla
Even Brad, who has championed virtually every terrible unit out there - Roman Archers, Sir Dupuis, Protectors of Ullar, you name it, and that's just at GenCon & in GenCon prep - has given up even trying with the Grok Riders.
edit: @kevindola , you wouldn't know Brad. He's your opposite. Never here; always in person. |

Also GenCon 2016, like the past 8 GenCon main events, were Reverse the Whip formats and it's always hard to gauge what competitive discussion means now that RtW is popular. Like I think Groks x2 is bad in the normal format (especially in lower point totals), but in RtW I guess it's much better? |

Re: Casters of Valhalla
You are correct, I was considering Main Event as 'competitive' discussion, but maybe that's incorrect. I know opinions vary.
I will just comment that figure limits are relatively trendy as well nowadays making a splashed Roman style build a bit more palatable then the reverse. But of course, in a standard power rankings style evaluation of 500-24 double blind, you will never get the payback on only 3 defense melee squad figures at 43 points a figure. (without another mitigating defensive power) |

Re: Casters of Valhalla
I really enjoyed to 1st 2 podcasts. I'd like to add that the length doesn't matter if the content is good, which it was for the most part. I would also suggest to just sticking with two people to start with. Once you get 3 or 4 people on mic it's easier to go on tangents, talk over each other and lose conversation threads.
As a non-tournament player, I'm always interested in hearing about other formats that people play. Any favorites? Also I'd like to hear about best teams made from B- figures and under (400 to 500 pts). |
