Valhallas Times - battle reports for the people

[chief]

Hey everyone, alright I have been putting consideration into this project and I fianlly got the time to say yes. So let me lay it out for you. By the end of each week (friday) If you have an army you want to use but aren't quite sure about it, post it here! I will then conduct a battle report for the top 4 armies. the top 4 will be determined by who has recommended them be play tested the most. Even if you dont have any armies you want play tested vote for one that looks interesting! Although not posted yet I will put up a thread for all the battle reports to be posted in, you may reply to them, but please dont put requests in it. Put those here. Now you may be asking "how do I know chief can battle test right" Well its simple, trust me! I although not a high grade player am very competitive and very skilled in this game. I will be using constructed battle fields that require a player to address aspects such as engajment, range, LOS, and many more things THE ENTIRE GAME. Also each army will be given order markers not based off of what looks good but careful thought, reference to the various strategy articles we have here, and the "perfect move theory" Which I am working on an article for. This is a theory basically stating that in a play test game you deliberately place each order marker for each army so as to have the perfect round on either side. This will effectively increase the chance that a game turns out based on skill and luck, rather than just one or the other. As for "how does the army fair" I am going to refrence to many more of the articles of synergy and combat charts we have to draft the "perfect army" to face off against the army in testing. this way your armies really do get tested.

Now I do have restrictions. Each week I will do 4 armies. 2 500 to 60 armies and 2 400 to 500 armies. They need to be the same point value for each higher and lower point game. Meaning the higher point game can be 2 600 point armies. The other game could be 2 450 point armies. So I will let requester s talk among each other and decide on armies that they want to see play tested against. I hope this really kicks off because it will help many scpaers and help me play more and become a better player my self. So please begin requests and spread the word!

These will be my play tests for the weekend guys, remember if you support someone else, rather than all individuals it will be easier to pick the battles.

Thorgrim - 80
Krav Maga Agents - 180
Nakita Agents - 300
Laglor - 410
Feral Troll - 500

VS

Ana
Raelin V1
Syvaris

I would like to see these movement bonus armies tested at some point:

Atlaga 90
Marcus 100
Einar Imp. x2 280
Roman Legionaires 50

The Einar Imp. would have a stealth flying movement of 7 with all of the bonuses. If you are careful not to get picked off by range on the way, this should be decent against a heavy squad army or a hero army.

520 points



Atlaga 90
Taelord 180
Minions x2 220
Zeticron 60

Of course Zeticron and the Minions can use a Taelord bonus (with 6 movement), but Atlaga would have a very high ranged attack as well as long as Tae-Tae could keep up.

550 points
