The Book of Cyprien Esenwein

[ScapeRaider]

Thats only 470

[betawolf36]

If you're playing 1000 points with C3V a potentially devastating build is-

Eldgrim the Viking Champion- 30
Thorgrim the Viking Champion- 110
Finn the Viking Champion- 190
Knights of Weston x1- 260
Bahadur- 380
Manauvi- 490
Cyprien Esenwien- 640
Skeletons of Annelintia x3- 955
Sonya Esenwien- 1000 Points 23 Spaces

Lead with the knights and human champions. Send in the wolves to do some damage. Put everyone's spirits on Cyprien and boom. You now have a 5 Defense, 5 Attack, 11 Move, Boosted Chilling Touch, Skeleton Spawning, Stealth Flying, Self Healing Vampire Lord.

For all you Cyp lovers out there, the new movie Dracula Untold is almost like Cyp's biography. I figured anyone digging this deep into Cyp's book would love to see that movie! It changes my whole perception on stealth flying for him! You'll know what I mean if you watch it.

So if all but Cyprien and Sonya is destroyed and the opponent has an insta-kill ability like Braxas' breath...what do ya do?

[betawolf36]

Hope for low rolls.
You could keep cyprien at distance from them and either kill them early on with the wolf knight combo, or try and get them with the sekellies. Even with only a few wounds on her braxas would lose first strike and she is the most fragile of the dragons.

When we play at my house sometimes we like to play all melee battles. So here is my all melee team:

Cyprien
Sonya
Finn
Thorgrim
Knights x2

Simple strategy for this team; lead with the knights and their heroes, clean up with 4 attack, 5 defense Cyprien.

[The B.I.V.]

Good build. Cyprien obviously rules in an all-melee battle since he's basically a ranged figure with 2 attacks per turn and heal. I'd counter with Charos, Thorgrim, Eldgrim and either WoA or Greenscales...

Just out of curiosity, how do you pronounce his last name? i think the last part "wein" is like "frankenstEIN" but the first part, is it like Eisenhower? or Essence? i pronounce it like ESSence. like "S-N-whine" i hope i'm not wrong...i think the Esenwein's sound better pronouced like that.

I pronounce it that way too.

[mtl1998]

I pronounce it Eye-zen-whine.

While we are on the subject is it Sip-re-in or Cyp like Cyprus?

[Not User Name]

I pronounce it Sigh-Pre-N S-N-Whine. I don't know how to write that grammatically.

This is how I say it. I occasionally call him "sip" though, just for a goofy short nickname.
