Zealot's army point combinations: Opinions wanted
Hey everybody,
I'm a big fan of Utgar's army but I'm not very interested in the Orcs and I dont usually use Marro armies (although Marro Warriors, and eventually Wu-Sa-Ga, kick butt). Either way I have a neat little system that I've come up with for selecting my armies for a map. I use little premade point combos that can be mixed and matched for whatever the situation may be. I've written a similar post to this a long time ago but my combos have experienced some major remodeling after Wave 7's release. So here are my combos using all Utgar units + Eldgrim because he is one of my favorite filler heroes and both an excellent glyph grabber and complement to the Zettian Guards. 200 point combos... Mimring Marro Warriors (this is the first of my 2 ranged combos) Cyprien Esenwein Sonya Esenwein (this one is only 195 points but the 5 points doesn't really factor in with the others) Deathstalkers x2 (I'll also use just one squad of these guys for a 100pt group/combo) 100 point combos... Iskra Esenwein Rechets of Bogdan (This group is just fun to play and has some exellent assassin capabilities) Eldgrim the Viking Champion Zettian Guards (Eldgrim, the only non Utgar unit, fits my second ranged combo really well; group/combo for glyph grabbing and support work) 300 point combo... Khosumet the Darklord Anubian Wolves x3 (Speed, defense, and possibly a deadly attack) 400 point combo... Taelord the Kyrie Warrior Minions of Utgar x2 (Really strong melee group, mostly for high point games though where Tealord can help other units too) So those are the combos that I'm using at the moment in most of my games, I'm going to be trying some of them later tonight when Rennix comes over, but I would appreciate anyones opionions or ideas concerning the different combinations I can make with these... Are there any that you think are especially good, bad, ones you'd try yourself, level of competitiveness, ect... Plus all the combos together equal a perfect 1500 points, if you ignore the -5 points from Cyprien and Sonya's combo, so I'm set for any massive point games What does everyone think... ---- Let's all be honest here ---- ---- This is what you thought of when you saw my name wasn't it? |

I like the idea of creating point pods. I'd be tempted to refine the idea to a hybrid army core/point pod concept. Say you design 300-400 point army cores that have good synergy and focus. Then you use these 100-300 point pods to fill out the army for different maps or point spreads. Using your examples here are a potential melee core and ranged core:
Cyprien Sonya Iskra Rechets Mimring MW ZG Eldgrim Each at 300 points. Deathstalkersx2 is a great pod - toss it on a ranged core and go. 1xMinions/NeGokSa would be another solid melee pod. Mimring/MW is also a good ranged pod. By refining your concept to cores and pods you make your decision time even faster and the resulting armies even better. ~Aldin, who thinks you should go ask Vydar for some range if you want to really boost your effectiveness He either fears his fate too much or his desserts are small That dares not put it to the touch to gain or lose it all ~James Graham |

300 Point Core
Stingers x3 Rats x3 Ullar Cores (because Ullar rules) Venoc Warlord Elite Onyx Vipers Venoc Vipers x2 Total = 300 Syvarris Deadeye Dan Aubrien Archers x2 Total = 300 Aubrien Archers x4 Kyntela Gwyn Total = 300 Like battle reports?

Thanks Aldin,
I thought of another core that uses Cyprien and Sonya. The five points left over by Sonya was really bothering me so I came up with a decent all purpose core of heroes for 300 points. Cyprien Sonya James Murphy Eldgrim A perfect 300 points that gives me a little bit of everything: flight, range, glyph grabbing, special attacks, and life points... And for a 200 pointer to better match some of my 300 point cores of melee I have Marcu Esenwein Marro Stingers x3 180 points of range plus the 20 point filler (That is still Utgar ) which is what most of my cores are lacking. ---- Let's all be honest here ---- ---- This is what you thought of when you saw my name wasn't it? |

I just got my second sets of glads and blasts so I'm updating my army cores to include the Vydar units I enjoy... I dropped Taelord, the Deathstalkers and a few others in order to utilize Marro Stingers and the Glads/Blasts, I believe these groups are considerably superior to my previous ones (even though some of them did not change)
I've broken them into groups of 100s, either 500, 300, 200 (although I can mix and match these teams at will, these are the most common groups I use) Major Q10 Blastatrons x2 Gladiatrons x2 Isamu Marro Stingers ----------------- 500 points Iskra Esenwein Rechets of Bogdan Zettian Guards Minions of Utgar x3 ----------- 500 points Cyprien Esenwein Sonya Esenwein James Murphy Eldgrim the V. Champion ----- 300 points Marcu Esenwein Marro Stingers x3 ------------- 200 points Mimring Marro Warriors ----------------200 points Khosumet Anubian Wolves x3-------------300 points Again, I can mix and match to fill in points as I need them but these are the main cores or chunks for armies that I use. ---- Let's all be honest here ---- ---- This is what you thought of when you saw my name wasn't it? |
