need good melee units!!

[Scapemage]

The Ashigaru pack. Together, especially with Encircle, work well.

I've played a few games against the PKs. They're pretty dang good, and could easily be competitive.

the groks/marro calvary if you can get them. they cost a lot but if you keep them on high ground i find they last long, unless they are the most expensive thing in your army, then they draw all the attention.

I recently played a 600 point all melee:

Alastair
Mac Dirks x2
Sir Gilbert
KoW x2
Raelin (RotV)

And these guys went 4-0.

Also, this should probably be in the Competitive Armies Discussion forum.

I like Alastair Macdirk and the Macdirk Warriors for melee. The Knights of Weston, Warriors of Ashra, & The Axegrinders are also solid picks. I haven't had a chance to try out the Phantom Knights or the Lizardfolks yet but they look like they are going to be pretty solid also.

All that being said, I'm nearly positive that the new Phantom Knights will be really good. I haven't seen any results posted by people that actually have them yet (you guys need to get off your butts and play those guys ) so I don't know if they'll work in a competitive situation yet. Either way they should be strong in kitchen-table-scape.

Anubians are my favorite common squad. I think I have.......get ready for it.......12 squads. They are solid troops man. Just cause they don't see much tourney play doesn't mean squat as far as I'm concerned. Fun trumps effective any day.

As said on top I had no clue where to put it but thanks for the notice.and so far you're the first to mention the Mac Dirks and they have been catching my eye for a while, are they good on the field?

[Devil's Advocate]

The Hydra + Phantom Knight Pack is very good for Melee help

AMEN BROTHER! I have four squads myself, but I'll probably get more from Auggie's once Wave 2 is rereleased.
