Why Are People Still Playing Q9?
Why do people still play Major Q9? This makes no sense to me. He's 180 points and very good, but why get only one A+ figure when you can get two for the price of one? Hatamato Taro and Marro Warriors are both A+s, and you can get BOTH for the price of Major Q9.
Seriously, if you bring Major Q9, you should stop and ask yourself, "Why do I hate making correct choices? What am I doing with my life?" Casters of Valhalla: THE Competitive HeroScape Podcast!

Re: Why Are People Still Playing Q9?
The real question is why draft Q9 when you can draft 7 dumutef guards instead

What you need to do is pair him up with obsidians. Foolproof strategy. No one will see it coming.

If you take 7 Dumutef Guards, each has 4 attack dice. That's 28 attack dice, a full 19 more than you would get by taking Q9. But the math doesn't stop there. No, if you can put the Dumutefs on road, then you get a whopping 35 attack dice! Pair them with the excellent Shades of Bleakewoode for the powerful Devourer Attack Enhancement synergy and you've got yourself a top-tier army. What can even stand against 35 attack dice? The Fortress Door? Really, I'm shocked that the meta hasn't developed to this level yet. Proud Member of Platyfly!

I didn’t come in this thread expecting this.
I just find his special attack fun. I don’t mind sacrificing that for 18 Nagrubs. My customs. NE Ohio Tourney - TBA SW Ohio Tourney - NHSD 550 points AotV - Colliding the minis of AotP with the world of HS. |

Re: Why Are People Still Playing Q9?
Yeah, he's really not worth it, is he? I mean, the SA's nice, but Moriko's is almost the same and she leaves you 70 points left. 70 Points! That's enough for Shiori and Otonashi! Women ninjas unite!

Re: Why Are People Still Playing Q9?
Because I like watching the guy with 6+ defense dice having to pick up and roll six plus dice to my one, 9 times in a row (and it feels extra bad whiffing that defense roll).

Or you could play Russian Ruolette with 9 venoc vipers (without any defence buff).

I mean, he did end up winning anyway, but I think that had more to do with having DW8K in his army than Q9. Monthly Utah Tournaments in SLC!!

Re: Why Are People Still Playing Q9?
Why play Major Q9 when Major Q10 is available?
Simple math shows 10 > 9, and he costs a whole 30 points less! Why would anyone pay 30 points more for 1 less? In fact, from an efficiency standpoint, Q9 costs 20 points per 'Q' while Q10 costs only 15 points per 'Q' - he's 25% more efficient! |
