One thing I like to do is place Kaemon Awasome on a hilltop and see how many zombies he can destroy before he is eaten. Good fun.

I like running him to the middle of the battlefield and watch him obliterate all my opponant's deathreavers.

HES AWSOME AND NEVER DIES. HE HAS GREAT DEFENSE AND COUNTER. ALSO HE CAN ATTACK TWICE

Kaemon Awa is hands down the best all-round figure in the game. I think he also is one of the best sculpts/paints too.

It seems that most figures are situational, or are at their best when matched with others or used in a theme army. Kaemon Awa however is good in pretty much every situation, and his points are right on par with his abilities.

I got second at Tree Town Open 3 and in the first two games of the tournament kameon awa killed a unit every single attack. I'm talking about quick release special. So with two attacks of 4 every turn he killed A.E., 4th mass, aubriens, deathreavers, and marden hounds, he always killed someone. Both shots, every shot in the first two games. I love this Samurai.

Kaemon found his way into a full third of the Florida Frenzy armies...testament to his Awasomeness.

Absoutely. It's easy to find something for a third or fourth draft pick to counter a specific heavy hitter or a particular swarm, but not so easy to find a unit that's great for the first draft. Kaemon is a good one to pick when you have little or no information about the other side.

Comparing him to Agent Carr, who has the same amount of defense but two less ranged attack and one less range, but has phantom walk (disengage+Ghost walk) and 6 melee attack.
For 20 more points, you get a consistent (range+melee) 4 attack, one more range, counterstrike, and a double attack with 4 attack dice AND it's a special. However, I guess Awa isn't a phantom, but... Still. I find Awa's abilities much more useful and seen use more often than Carr's. Both have their uses, but for 20 more points Awa is a steal, much like Krug being a steal. 120 points? What could match Awa or Krug for 120 points? A squad of minions and isamu? Syvarris and wizzy elf (akk what's her name?! oak defense 1 lady!)? I don't think so.

One of the most painful things ever happened to me last night when I was forced to kill Kaemon Awa with Retairius. Seriously, I nearly cried.

It was the first time I didn't play him in a game and obviously the first time I had to go up against him and it was the worst time of my heroscape life. Never again will I let him fall into anothers hands, he is far too precious

Gah!

I can't stand Awa! I have one friend who I play with and he always chooses Kaemon Awa and he is always my downfall. I don't dare send Cyprein after him, and most of the time I can't ever kill him. Pair him with Hatamoto Taro and he becomes unstoppable! Curse me for giving that flag guy to him for a birthday present.

Lord of the elves,

Try an army featuring Raelin (RotV) and the Krav Maga Agents. Kaemon isn't so tough when you outrange him and are hard to hit at a distance.

Conversely, try building an army around the Arrow Gruts with Krug and Mimring. Krug will devestate Kaemon Awa and Mimring does nicely if you maintain range.

Thanks, I'll try the Raelin/Krav Maga Agents idea. I can't find anywhere to get krug or arrow gruts, and when I do I have always just gotten new units

But I'll try your idea.
