Not much activity here, lately, so

Just for fun, here are the three armies I've been throwing around:

Ulginesh - 150
Emirroon - 230
Haduc - 330
Chardris - 420
Arkmer - 470
Raelin - 550, 7

Empress Kiova - 90
Raelin - 170
Einar Imperium x2 - 450
Krav Maga Agents - 550, 11

Werewolf Lord - 140
Van Nessing - 245
Raelin - 325
M43 Resistance x3 - 520
Kira Jax - 550, 14

Some Army Idea:

For classic armies, I was thinking Su-Bak-Na needs some love!
Drones or Dividers * 6 OR Stingers * 5
Su-Bak-Na
Raelin the Kyrie Warrior
Isamu

Stingers * 6
Su-Bak-Na
Nagrubs * 1

Drones * 7 OR Dividers * 7
Su-Bak-Na
45 Pt. 1 space filler? Guilty + Isamu (sit a Marro)

Marro Hounds * 3
Su-Bak-Na
125 Points, 4 spaces (if only there was no 24-space limit 4 hound squads and some nagrubs would be great) = one of the following:

Raelin v2
Raelin + Deathreavers * 1 (sit a rat)
Nakita Agents
Ne-Gok-Sa + Nagrubs * 1

C3V:
Armoc Vipers * 4
Venoc Warlord
Zogross Hardscale
50 point filler? Me-Burq-Sa OR Theracus + Isamu

Zaeus
Gorillanators * 3
Nakita Agents
35 point filler? Black Wyrmling

I tried making an army with Omegacron, but I needed 560 points to make it good (W/ Taelord and/or mix of repulsers, snipers, and zetacron).

P.S. If you need to borrow some C3V units, let me know, as I have a lot.
I am giving a rebased Omeagacron with printed card as a prize, along with some miscellaneous terrain.

I'd play the Einar Imperium army in a heartbeat Killercactus. Looks like a solid use of mixing range and assassins. Bravo, sir, Bravo.

A few ideas to fuel the jaws...

DW9k//140
Raelin//220
Thorgrim//300
Deathstalkersx2//500
Eldgrim//530
Dumetef Guard//555

Army Strategy? Hope for a switch...otherwise play it as one helluva tank. Place the Viking spirits as the table dictates. Use the Dumetef to block off a gang of charging knights. Maul will never work, but 7-8 defense Deathstalkers should force your opponents to go nuts. Topped with 9k at a possible of 13 defense(Raelin+Thorgrim+height) and 6 move, and your playing with blasting powder(not to mention the fact that your opponent needs you to roll 7 Deathwalker rolls).

I'd play it if I weren't too afraid of a switch

Another one...

Knightsx3//210
Finn//290
Eldgrimm//320
Thorgrim//400
SirGuru//550

Make theGuru a monster Otherwise, use standard Knights manuevers, and hitting hard with your bonding.

Give Van Nessing a chance to shine using this...

Cyprien//150
Sudema//290
Zombiesx4//530
Marcu//550

An undead party! Cyprien is already an awesome assassin, just use Sudema to bring down the stupid huge prey. Good luck versus Van Helsing however

[killercactus]

Interesting armies, guys! Now we just need to get some players to this.

Oh, lefton4ya - don't forget that you only have 20 hexes to work with.

[lefton4ya]

Did not see the 20-space limit How about changing to 20 FIGURE limit so "cavalry" type units have a chance (although it would help the orcs bring their swogs and dinosaurs).
- The only Su-Bak-Na army above that would work is:
Stingers * 5
Su-Bak-Na
Raelin the Kyrie Warrior
Isamu
- OR -
Marro Hounds * 3 (Sit one)
Su-Bak-Na
Raelin v2

- How about 4th/10th:
4th Massachusetts Line x 4 = 280
Capt. John Varan = 360
Sgt. Drake Alexander v 2 = 530
Kyntela Gwyn = 550
- OR -
10th Regiment * 4 = 300
Raelin OR Capt. John Varan = 380
Moltenclaw = 550

- Or for overkill (you would never win Reverse the Whip):
Stingers * 6 = 360
Raelin = 440
Van Nessing or Evar Scarcarver or Mika Connour = 545 or 550

[killercactus]

Don't forget that Varan isn't Valiant, but still probably good in that army. I've been kicking around armies with AE and Varan, or even Macdirks. Actually, Varan would be a way to protect Eldgrim after I put 2 wounds on him for the Highland Fury bonus. Hmmmm.... That's really interesting.

Macdirks * 4 = 320
Capt. John Varan = 400
Eldgrim = 430
Sir Gilbert = 535
Marcu = 555 (20 spaces)

Or you can sub 1 squad of Macdirks for Raelin or Finn or Thorgrim, or also Marco and get Krav Maga

[killercactus]

Anyone else planning on coming to this? I've got at least 2 players committed to come with me.

[ZBeeblebrox]

Still thinking about and I may try to talk damja into coming too.
It depends on RL and finances.

Just put me down as a maybe for now.

[hangred]

I will schedule to come to this. I might ask for help in putting an army together. Do you need me to bring a map? Where are all the potential players located?

Cool! I can help you build an army if you like. There's also been quite a bit of army building discussion here.

As of right now, there are a couple players from my neck of the woods coming, a couple from Cleveland, and maybe 2 guys from Michigan. I'm hoping to get more of the Cleveland and maybe some Columbus guys to come up.

At this point, I don't think I need any extra maps, yet. If we get some more people, I might ask for another map or two. I think I have 7 maps accounted for, which is enough for about 12 people with Rolling Rumble.

Also, lefton4ya, do you have a Kira Jax I can borrow? I think I'm gonna play my Wolfish M43 army, but I don't have a Kira yet.

[Raudulfr Shieldcrusher]

Jordan and I can't make it. Our big, extended family Xmas party is that day.

I'll ask Heath and Josh though.
