The Book of Parmenio

[pinche_guey]

Seems to be the key to this topic, but really . . .

Is there any 500 point army worth using that effectively uses the sacred band and parmenio - including his disciplined influence bonus. I am finding it extremely difficult, especially in a themed army (including some type of range).

Uh... shore.

Parmenio - 90 pts.
Marcus - 190 pts.
Sacred Bandx2 - 290 pts.
Airborne Elite - 400 pts.
Krav Maga - 500 pts. (Make them Disciplined)

You know, if you really had to have the Sacred Band. It kills me there's no contest between Greeks and Romans.

On topic, that's not a bad army...except for Parmenio and the Sacred Band. :P

LOL. Valguard wants to play with them, but Parmenio, 2 Greeks, and Valguard are 300 points, and the only good part about the army is that you can move 5 bad pieces in one turn. No range, and no specials makes them a bad army; especially compared to Marcus and his Romans, who can bond with NeGokSa and MeBurqSa for amazing armies. At least Parmenio makes the SB playable when you have nothing else.

There is some long philosophical discussion about the Sacred Band under the Book Of The Sacred Band. Some food for thought for sure. IMO the Sacred Band/Parmenio usability is underappreciated, but I seem to be one of the few.

I think Raelin or Q9 are pretty good reasons to use Disciplined influence. I find that Knights of Weston, Romans, and Sacred Band can be alright deathreaver subsitutes.

Parmenio 90
2x Sacred Band 190
Major Q9 370
Kaemon Awa 490
Isamu 500

(This is something that I didn't spend much time thinking about at all, but it's not terrible.)

Ok I need a point of clarification regarding Parmenio's Disciplined influence and Otonoshi's Attack the Wild. If Parmenio makes the WILD personality hero disciplined in order to have an all diciplined army then Otonoshi cannot use Attack of the Wild on them correct?

(I will post the answer in the Otonoshi's book also...Thanks)

If it changes their personality, I'm sure that Otanashi doesn't get the bonus then.

[Tai-Pan]

So if Otonashi is in an opposing army, could you use Parmenio to make sure she never gets Attack the Wild by using his influence on any wild unit she may be attacking?

Still, that's a 90 (or 100? I don't remember) counter to a 10 point figure.

You can only make 1 unique army card diciplined

I think that Parmenio's Disciplined Influence was made for Drake. He is a soilder, but valient. If you field Parmenio then you are fielding the SB, and if you are feilding the SB then you are fielding Marcus (who would choose Parmenio over Marcus).
This means that Drake goes well with Marcus. SotM Drake with a move of 7 and a potential attack of 7, not bad. The only problem is valiant personality, but Parmenio takes care of that.

[Tai-Pan]

Umm. I don't. I think it was made for all non-disciplined units, but does benefit some more than others. A good example would be the non-disciplined warlords. The Sacred Band can bond with Valguard, but would lose the disciplined army bonus if not for Parmenio. In an army with both Greeks and Romans, the Romans can bond with the Venoc Warlord, Ne-Gok-Sa, and Me-Burq-Sa, all of whom would take away the disciplined army bonus without Parmenio.
