Deadly combos DnD + Classic Scape

[Skeletor]

I just started mixing in my DnD scape with regular Scape and man I destroyed my buddy with

Q9-180
Railien-80
Ana Karithon-100
Kelda-80
Isamu-10
Otonashi-10

460point army of doom

I didn't even enjoy it is was such a slaughter.

What are some other DnD + Classic scape armies have other made?

I haven't even tried Marvel with DnD yet

Ana cannot heal Q9 as Q9 is large.

How about:
Sonlen 160
Syvarris 100
Ana 100
Raelin 80
Izumi 60
500/7
Lots of range and tough to kill. Might be fun just for playing. Probably not tourney worthy though.

~Aldin, who likes the Sonlen/Ana healing circle

Or boost his Defense. I was so excited to have Brunak carry Ana, until I realized she had a size limitation for both her defensive abilities.

As far as DnD+Classic armies, my life has been horribly devoid of actual games lately, so I haven't had much opportunity to try most of the new figs out. , again

If we're talking mostly about Ana here, I summed up my thoughts in this post from the book:

1. Some long range attack (at least 6, preferably 7+) that will keep ranged figures from stringing you out and denying your figures healing/defensive bonuses
2. A reliable way to deliver multiple attacks per OM from range.
3. Blockers, or at least some hero that is really tough to beat with melee, is nice.
4. A special attack is a bonus.

Captain America gives you 2, 3, and 4, and buffs everyone up on top of that.

Syvarris gives you 1 and 2.
Sonlen gives you 2 and a bit of 4, and heals on top of that.
Kaemon gives you 1 and 2 (not at the same time, though), a bit of 3, and 4.

In my opinion, those are the "big 4" that really go well with the AnaRae pod. Other notables include Silver Surfer (1&4) and Iron Man (1&2). Tandros and Rats are the obvious choices for blockers. If you go with Sonlen, you can throw on Q9 or Q10 (1, 2, and 4) as an untethered hero, who doesn't worry about adjacency with Ana, in stead relying on Sonlen healing and Raelin defense.

Some sample builds:

Syvarris loves ladies of all races
80 Raelin RotV
100 Ana Karithon
20 Kyntela Gwyn
100 Syvarris
300, 4 hexes

A nice lightweight build, even if it only has one offensive threat. Pretty strong if the sightlines are open and your opponent doesn't have rats. Toss in some rats (or WoA, who stick by Kyntela) at 380/400.

No-Marvel medium hero pod
80 Raelin RotV
100 Ana Karithon
160 Sonlen
120 Kaemon Awa
460, 4 hexes

Pretty solid, especially with some blockers thrown in. Sonlen and Kaemon provide a nice 1-2 punch. Sonlen activations give you double healing. Ranged squads are an issue, since they can attack 3-4 times to your 1.

No-Marvel hero pod with soulborg assistance
80 Raelin RotV
100 Ana Karithon
160 Sonlen
150/180 Major Q10/Q9
490/520, 5 hexes

This is probably the most reliable build if you can't use Marvel. Machine Pistol or the Q-gun really solve your problems with ranged squads, and Sonlen can heal the soulborg. Again, rats or other blockers are nice to slow down advancing figures.

At higher point levels, if you're playing on a map with lots of LoS blockers, you can try to use Nilfheim+blockers in stead of the Major. I haven't tested that, but I think it could work.

Wohoo! Marvel!
80 Raelin RotV
100 Ana Karithon
100 Syvarris
220 Captain America
500, 4 hexes

This is the army I brought up before. If Marvel is allowed, Captain America is about as much of a no-brainer with Ana as Raelin is, really. Opponents are typically going to try to take out Raelin first, and buffing her defense is a real enhancement to the build.

The AnaRaeCap trio is 400 points, and Syvarris makes perfect sense to hit 500. Given that Captain America also boosts regular attack, and comes with his own multiple special attack, I much prefer adding Syvarris over Kaemon in this build. You can throw in Kyntela and/or blockers, too, of course.

---

One thing I didn't note in my first message is that the first step of this army, "Find a high spot, and form a diamond with Syvarris at the tip, Raelin in the back, and CA and Ana adjacent to both", is easier said than done. Most "good" maps getting built these days tend to deny you nice high spots within one walking activation of your start zone. Your shooters can shoot as they move up, so this might not be an issue for them, and Raelin flies into place pretty quickly. But spending two OMs on Ana can cost you precious time. This can tempt you to add Theracus/Brunak/Saylind to the build to help get Ana into place, although this cuts into a build that is already tight on points. Of course, a well-positioned Theracus could really clog things up for a melee army.

Of course, if we're talking more broadly about D&D/classic synergy, then the first thing to bring up is the Greenscale Warriors.

I played this one the other day:

Microcorpx2
Othkurik
Everan
Marcu

against Elf Wizards @ 460

Othkurik died way too quickly (which is what's happened every time we've played him so far) getting in only a single attack. But Everan was pure liquid awsome, taking out a full health Ulginesh and finishing off Chardis, Eimeroon, and Kyntella.

[Rich10]

Lets go with the obvious:

Nilfheim 185
Greenscales x 2 120
Raelin 80
KMA 100

or

Charos 210
Greenscales x 4 240
MW 50

[Skeletor]

whoops didn't notice the large part and nether did my buddy. Oh well chaulk that one up to learning the new DnD figs


Green skins and Charos is just nasty and mean

[Skeletor]

How about hot potato

Wryvan x2 + Joton

425 points

Just toss your opponents characters around the board and into lava if they have a small/medium army of course
