Honestly, I would turtle up. Send out Guily to out range the stingers when you Sonlen Bomb is dead. Then the Dwarfs can super speed onto them. Once they are all finished up, Q9 cleans house.

Jotun 225
Horned Skull Brutes x3 450
Tarn Viking Warriors 500

I hate dissing on other people's armies, but I have to say that this will not work. Q9 will clean those Brutes up, and your giant is dwarf fodder.

[Master of Disaster]

I agree with Son of Arathon. Jotun and the Brutes would be in trouble facing off against Chief's Q9/Axegrinder army.

This army would fair better against Chief's army:

Fen Hydra
Aubrien Archersx4
Deathreaversx2
Kyntela Gwyn
500points/23spaces
------
There's no guarantee that this army would win either... Q9 and Axegrinders are tough. If you play it right though, the Aubrien/Deathreaver combo should eliminate the Axegrinders without too much trouble and Hydra+Deathreavers should be able to care of Q9.

I'd go with...

Phantom Knights x5 350
Zetacron 60
Black Wyrmling x3 490 / 20

Rush most of my PK's past the rat screen to engage the Hydra and archers, while Zeta hammers the Hydra. Keep a squad or so back near Zeta to keep the rats off, and Black Wyrmlings take them out without triggering scatter.

Q9 180
Axe Grinders x3 390
AE 500

Q9 can hammer away with QG on the phantoms. The grinders then help finish them off. At that point the AE have an easy time cleaning house.

Dude, Q9/Dwarves again?

Anyways:

Snipersx2//200
Repulsorsx4//360
Nakitas//480
Isamu//490
Otonashi//500
24 spaces

Use the Repulsors to engage Dwarves, and the snipers do their thing. There should be enough Repulsors to engage Q9. When the AE drop, fall back, allowing the Nakita's smoke powder as cover. The can also force the Dwarves to engage, risking a . Isamu's Vanish could help him engage an AE and kill them. Otonashi 's Tricky Speed could propel her to a glyph, or to engage with Q9. Oh, and pray.

OK, how about the no-brainer, non-Repulsor counter:

Quasatch Hunters x ....uh...3 300
Black Wyrmling x6 480
Marcu Esenwein 500 / 13

Well, I'm not sure that this would work, but ideally Marcu would engage the Snipers early, rendering the Repulsors useless to whichever Snipers he locks down. Marcu wouldn't last long, but the idea is to give the Quasatch some time to take out the Repulsors.

The Wyrmlings are there, obviously, to try taking out the Nakitas and Snipers before my monkeys are gunned down. I might try this one with a buddy on game night.

It lives on!

Nice idea nate! Your army might not win, but Sasquatch's minions can pose a real threat to my build.

Marrden Hounds x2 (180)
Marrden Nagrubs x3 (270)
Tor-Kul-Na (490/23)

The Hounds are immune to the Black Wyrmlings' special, and their Plague can really hurt expensive squads like the Quasatch. Once your army disperses to avoid the Hounds, Tor-Kul-Na and his snacks can move in without getting swarmed, Trample Stomping anyone who gets in the way.

120 Krug
300 Harq x 5
80 Raelin
500 23 hexes

Harq's supported by Raelin shoot the Hounds and Grubs. Krug cleans up.

[Toogwick_tuk]

Marro Stingers x5 300
Deathwalker 8k 430
Zetacron 490
Isamu 500 points/ 19 hexes

Zetacron snipes raelin and then 8k starts destroying Harqs by the dozen. If a Harq gets a lucky shot or krug gets him and kills 8k the Stingers will have no trouble killing krug and the remaining Harqs. Isamu is just filler.
