Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
To me, boosting move for a squad from 4 to 5 is rarely not worth it. There's a noticeable gap in maneuverability between 4 and 5 movement, but then again, I'm more used to playing with knights and Romans than these guys. As dok said, the 2 range kind of mitigates the disadvantage of 4 move compared to other melee squads.

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
I would say use either Count Raymond or Marcus, but usually not both as it is better to have Raelin or Range support. I will say that the worst possible matchup I had against them is with Havech Eradicators on Ticalla Sunrise.

It is also worth noting that Marcus is a pretty good clean up figure, (3/3 with 6 life is not bad). Speed and first strike can be critical in winning matches, and they have pretty health defense already. Throw in some speedy 8th for range support, and you got a fairly sturdy solider army. |

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
Obviously this is not really relevant to your situation, but I thought it might be interesting to mention: in our tourneys, due to the restricted list, we would not allow both Quahon and the Cathars in the same army. There's absolutely no doubt it's a very strong army. But it's taking advantage of what are almost certainly the two most powerful units in C3V—in Classic terms, it's similar to building an army around Q9 and the minutemen.

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
In the current round of the GenCon Classic League online tourney, 30% of the armies are Q9, 10thx4. All that to say that mixing Cathars and Quahon is probably a great army as long as you're not playing reverse the whip, bring 2, cut the cake, or the like.

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
Which is exactly why we instituted a restricted list. We got tired of seeing the same armies over and over again ...

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
What kind of restricted list do you use?

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
We've had an active tournament scene in Maryland for 10 years. Never felt the need for a "Restricted List." But it depends on your local meta, I guess.
Don't feel you need one, is my suggestion, unless you actually do. |
