Poll: Most Difficult PreMade Armies to Play Against
-This is assuming you build your own army and cannot counterdraft
*Didn't include an Orc or 4th Mass build on the assumption most people would just vote for these 2 most popular and well known builds *Obviously someone could take the easy way out and say "depends on map, etc" so I am speaking overall |

To steal a line from sports, defense wins ballgames, and I voted accordingly.
Spartacus is like Nike. The shoes are no better than any other, but you pay a whole lot for the name. |

I've had great success with the Raelin, Sentinels, Krav Combo. If your opponent has Braxas though all you can do is cry or hope your Krav have insane rolls before going down

This is so hard to say....
I think this is why I played a "hodge podge" or "pile" at Gencon... (tagawa,Krav,MBS, Marros, Raelin) I wanted to be prepared for most anything. I tried to get me some of eveything... Krav, Marros, MBS, Tagawa all have speed ...some anti Range there with Krav ...some anti high defense with MBS in the mix. Of course Raelin giving defense.. i think speed and range are the most needed attributes. I voted for Braxas only becasue a Braxas army probably would have given me Gencon army a fit. |

A Braxas army is quite a gamble in a 400 point blind build tournament. If they have Krug or any decent sized Heroes you could be in trouble. Nilfheim or Q9 are he safer choice although then you are much more susceptible to a High Defense build. On the other hand if the majority take regular squads you'll give them headaches

Almost picked BIG-D, except those blue dice fail too often.
Voted for Braxas. I've never played against Braxas...I don't want to either. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:22-24 |

I'm for Braxas. When I read about GaryLASQ's boy using Braxas and the hounds as his army, it was like an epiphany.

i say defense, but it really does depend on the field. If the field has a castle, antirange can be devastating. Overall, i say uder defense is teh most challenging though.

I voted vipers, as evidenced by our recent pre-made Pittsburgh tourney.

before the trip to GC, we did only two 400 point matchups. at first he put together a different army that i beat up on. then he assembled the Braxas/Hound combo and clobbered me with it. and it was like "Spencer, that's it! That's the army you're taking. We don't need to try anything else." |
