Islandscape Army Poll
Well met!
Although yet a month and a half away, I am, of course, already building armies for IslandScape. The format is identical to GenCon's Championship, except that there will be no Reverse the Whip, and players may bring two armies, one of which is chosen in secret, after examining the map, for each game. Possible armies (include choices within choices in textual explanation, if you wish) - choose two armies: 1. Stomp Armies Classic Stomp 220 Tor-Kul-Na 100 Krav 90 Nagrubs x 3 30 Eldgrim 440, 15 spaces Special Stomp 220 Tor-Kul-Na 120 Kaemon 90 Nagrubs x 3 10 Isamu 440, 13 spaces 2. Knights Three Phantom Elite 210 PKs x 3 120 Kaemon 110 AE 440, 14 spaces Thorian Knights 210 PKs x 3 120 Kaemon 110 Drake 440, 11 spaces Stealth Knights 210 PKs x 3 120 Kaemon 100 Krav 10 Isamu 440, 14 spaces 3. Dragon Soldiers Dragon Elite 185 Nilfeim 140 PKs x 2 110 AE 440 12 spaces Thorian Dragon 185 Nilfeim 140 PKs x 2 110 Drake 440 9 spaces 4. Isamu and the Dragon Stealth Dragon 185 Nilfeim 140 PKs x 2 100 Krav 10 Isamu 440 12 spaces Dragon Healing 185 Nilfeim 140 PKs x 2 100 Ana 10 Isamu 440 10 spaces 5. Black Knights 210 PKs x 3 120 Black Wyrmlings x 4 110 Drake RotV 440, 14 spaces 6. Death Knights 140 PKs x 2 130 Deathcommander 100 Krav 70 Zettians 440, 12 spaces 7. Arrow Gruts 210 Heavy Gruts x 3 120 Grimnak 100 Syvarris 10 Isamu 440, 16 spaces 8. Stealth Gruts 140 Heavy Gruts x 2 120 Grimnak 100 Krav 80 Raelin 440, 14 spaces 9. Wolves 160 WoB x 2 140 Morgoloth 140 Racheim 440, 8 spaces 10. Romans Roman Thunder 150 Romans x 3 140 Eltahale 100 Marcus 50 Me-Burq-Sa 440, 16 spaces Imperial Dragon 185 Nilfeim 150 Romans x 3 100 Marcus 435, 15 spaces Imperial Paralysis 185 Nilfeim 100 Romans x 2 100 Marcus 50 Me-Burq-Sa 435, 13 spaces Last edited by kolakoski; May 17th, 2013 at 01:41 PM. |

Re: Islandscape Army Poll
I'm planning on bringing a competitive army and a fun army.
I was considering TKN armies as one of my armies, but I couldn't get the points/starting places to work out. With the KMA, I really like to put in Raelin1, and it just doesn't work too well. I am thinking about a Heavy Grut army but with Tornak instead of the KMA and without Raelin. If the starting restriction was larger, I'd probably use a Blade Grut army. The starting restrictions make it hard to play Romans as well. I probably wouldn't do PK's because they seem to get eaten up by 10th, of which you can expect to see a few armies. Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be fun. Looking forward to seeing you in July. |

6. Death Knights 140 PKs x 2 130 Deathcommander 100 Krav 70 Zettians 440, 12 spaces are pretty viable. I think PKs, in combination with other things, are more dangerous than the 10th (which were in my last Islandscape army) against a wider variety of opponents, especially with the low point total with only 16 figures. I limited myself to 16 spaces in my armies. The Black Knights 210 PKs x 3 120 Black Wyrmlings x 4 110 Drake RotV 440, 14 spaces might be better with the Krav, dropping Isamu (and 10 points). In any event, I, too, am looking forward to seeing you, and the rest of the Long Island contingent. P.S.: I forgot - I also recently purchased Siiv. The Wolves 160 WoB x 2 140 Morgoloth 140 Racheim 440, 8 spaces would be viable with Krav/Siiv in for Racheim. Siiv would also work with 210 PKs x 3 185 Nilfeim 40 Siiv 435, 12 spaces, or 280 PKs x 4 120 Kaemon or Raelin SotM 40 Siiv 440, 14 spaces. The Romans could also use him: 150 Romans x 3 or Romans x 2/Me-Burq-Sa or Sonja 150 Q10 or Cyprien or Syvarris/Me-Burq-Sa (17 spaces, but 16 figures w/Romans x 3) 100 Marcus 40 Siiv 440, 16 spaces Last edited by kolakoski; May 17th, 2013 at 02:55 PM. |

Re: Islandscape Army Poll
I like Imperial Dragon because it reminds me of the KoW x3 + Gilbert+ Nilf build at 500pts. That army is one of my favorites, and I think this roman one would play similarly and probably do well.
Arrow grut is one I like just because I really like heavies with chompy. I don't think I like syvarris as your primary/only ranged figure, but then again, it doesn't really look like you have any other reasonable choice given the point and figure limit. Btw, do you have greenscales? You seem to have nilf in a few of your armies, so maybe you'd consider Nilf + greenies x2 as a core for an army? That leaves you with what, 9 fig spaces and 135 points to fill? |

As for a format where you play your own army vs RTW, I'm torn. I see the benefits of both. I'm still surprised when I see you suggest armies with guns. |

Re: Islandscape Army Poll
I think you'd do very well with the inappropriately named Arrow Gruts. (There's no Arrow Gruts in this army...)
I'm with Rich10 in that seeing you with modern warefare figures throws me off a little. Just when you thought it was all right, someone made it alright. Good trades with - Porkins / xraine69 / mac122 (x2) / frylock / Ztimster (x2) and probably others I forgotten to mention...sorry. Last edited by AMIS; May 22nd, 2013 at 12:46 PM.
