Goblin Cutters - What's Your Army Idea?

Now that we have the latest preview it's time to make some swarms. The Cutters look like a great solution for heroes that are primarily worried about multiples of common ranged squads. So it's time to bring out some heavy hitters!

Catch the Wave
5xGoblin Cutters 250
Werewolf Lord 140
Iron Golem 100
24/490

Iggy and Wolfie will happily take on any heroes. Squaddie bodies fall under the weight of the massed Cutters

So what's your army idea?

~Aldin, who needs some 2x or 3x armies to save his wallet

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

Re: Goblin Cutters - What's Your Army Idea?

200 Goblin Cutters x4
100 Iron Golem x1
185 Zelrig
485

I've never actually wanted to play Zelrig before (185 is too much for a shotgun blast), but in an army like this I think he might be perfect. You can use the Iron Golem to hit spread out commons with Majestic fires, and if the Iron Golem Doesn't suck he'll help out against the multiple special attackers the Goblins don't want to go up against.

Plus Zelrig and the Goblins share a mechanic, so it sorf-of feels right pairing them up.

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock.

Re: Goblin Cutters - What's Your Army Idea?

Cut a (k)Rug

Brunak 110
Krug 230
Cutters x4 430
Air Elemental x2 490, 22 spaces
(Theracus 530, 24 spaces)

Cutters swarm, and Krug offers a potent anti-Q option. Brunak (and/or Theracus) carries an Air Elemental to help cut a path for either Blood Hungry or Krug's charge. Additionally, use Theracus (or Brunak) for a CutterBomb, delivering a lone cutter to the enemy to engage and hopefully initiate a Scurry activation on your opponent's turn.

Snack Packs
Cyprien 150
Cutters x5 400
Krav Maga 500, 24 spaces

Use the Cutter horde as mobile blood bags for Cyprien.

Re: Goblin Cutters - What's Your Army Idea?

I agree with XN F M about this being a nice combo to use with the Zelrig/IG combo. I posted that same army in the prerelease thread (well, I posted it with cuttersx5 at 535, but same difference).

AE/Braxas is another army along the same lines:

110 Airborne Elite
210 Braxas
200 Goblin Cutters x4
520, 22 hexes

Re: Goblin Cutters - What's Your Army Idea?

Q9 - 180
Raelin - 260
Cutters x5 - 510, 23 hexes

Q9 and Raelin set up and kill as much as possible, targeting figures with Special Attacks first. Cutters clean up.

Unoriginal? Yes. Effective? Yes.

Re: Goblin Cutters - What's Your Army Idea?

...I got nothing. These guys look nice, but I can't imagine using them in one of my armies. Anything they can do, the Venocs could probably do better IMHO.

Spoiler Alert!

Re: Goblin Cutters - What's Your Army Idea?

Emo Army
Cutters x3 150
Alastair 260
Deathwalker 7k 360
Wolves of Badru 440
Eldgrim 470

Everybody's either a cutter, self-mutilator or suicidal. This might just win Gencon next year if it get the sympathy vote.

Insert other borderline insensitive remarks.

Handle origin: I used to film comedy skits with my friends. I didn't want any cursing in them, so I made up new insults, like "dendrik". Then Sir Denrick came out, and the rest is history.
