Exclamation Need help building 260 point tourney army

I'm in a team tournament event and my share of the points is 260 and 14 spaces.

I could really use some suggestions for a solid army.

For those near Dallas, the thread for the tourney is here:

Re: Need help building 260 point tourney army

He has not given me an army concept yet. He just stated that he had an idea for 320 points. The teams are splitting 580 points.

**I forgot to mention that in this tournament, the partners will be sitting caddy corner from each other. This makes it more difficult to select armies that have synergy together, as they may never make contact with one another.

Re: Need help building 260 point tourney army

You can't go wrong with dragons:

Braxas + Marro Warriors

Nilfheim + James Murphy

Mimring + Minions

Mimring + Arrow Gruts x 2 + Guilty McReech

Charos + Arkmer


If nothing else, it simplifies order markers!

Re: Need help building 260 point tourney army

I like dok's choices. This would be fun to play...
Krug 120
Arrow Gruts x 2 80
Swog Riders x 2 50
Isamu 10

You could also try...
4th Mass x 3 210
Eldgrim 30
Kyntela Gwyn 20 (or let your partner have 20 more points)

Re: Need help building 260 point tourney army

I would probaly an army that has really high survivability, and range. I would deem the Krav as some of the most important units you could field. For another 80 you get Raelin (RotV), which allow you to have a turtling power house. With the remaining 80, I would take 2 squads of rats. The plan is to turtle on height with the Krav and Raelin, and prevent the Krav from becoming engaged or even fired at by the rats. This would be what I would pick.

Raelin (RotV)-80
Krav Maga Agents-180
Deathreavers x2-260

Let us just hope your partner sticks to a heavy melee army. When you link, you will form quite a powerful force.

Re: Need help building 260 point tourney army

I would collaborate with your teammate. If he drafts lots of heavy heros, go with some squads for a screen. If he has melee, get some range. In a team battle, you don't have to worry as much about a balanced army, because your opponent can fill in whatever gaps your army has.

Agreed

If you can't reach him, I'd try...
Sonlen- 160
Stingers- 220
Isamu- 230

or go ranged with....

Kravs- 100
Syvarris- 200
Guilty McCreech- 230

or perhaps....

RoTV Raelin- 80
Omnicrons- 180
Marro Warrriors- 230


Without dark, there is no light.
Without bad HScape figs, there are no good ones.
Dund is important, therefore
