Re: Heroscape Power Rankings
Repulsors are small and can't climb. Dwarves are basically just Marro Drones unless there's something huge and/or Large on the board for them to fight...I really don't think either of these are as great as everyone seems to think they are...

Anyway, I don't think a 3/3 squad with squadsize of 4 and bonding is that terrible even if there aren't any huge targets around. The dwarves don't seem any more situational than, say, Zelrig. I love the core of Migol, Dwarves, and Braxas, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it do well if the points work out right. Last edited by dok; June 7th, 2009 at 11:37 PM.

Re: Heroscape Power Rankings
Marro Drones bond with a hero who has deadly strike and one shield defense?

It might also be interesting to look at the top armies from GenCon over the last three years. Against most of those, I don't think I'd want to be the dwarves. I do like them with Braxas though. If I go to a 530 point tournament any time soon... Last edited by Jexik; June 7th, 2009 at 10:13 PM. |

Re: Heroscape Power Rankings
First the on topic portion...
With the new Cards, I will attempt to post my feed back on those... I belive the only squad that is going to be used a lot by me in normal tournaments, would be the repulsors. Here's the reason, my main figure and by far my best is Cyprien. In my opinion, he's the third best figure next to the two majors. When i face the challenge to make a possible winning tournament army with Cyprien, I usually have one of two people, Anubian wolves or the Krav. I mainly pick wolves because I play with Sonya, and the Wolves round the 5 off. Repulsors i would but somewhere in the A's... What my arch nemisis likes, are the dwarves. I personally would chose Knights over dwarves if him and I had to pick one of the two to battle each other. Dwarves have three in a squad, for me not high enough defense for my cruddy defence rolls, and well they will only have 4 attacks a turn. However, since the dwarves themselves can be used after their hero has died with much more ferocity then with their hero is alive or with the whole not moving the hero. That 6 move to tie up a Q10 or Q9 can really have an effect when the hero is one or two turns from the target. I would give both an A since they will be a force against my normal Tourny armies. The indians, well they're nice, but like with stealth armour on the Microcorp, they're not always going to use their abilities. For me, generally a great D20 roller, they would be decent and generally roll far greater times then most people in my group, yet I would give them both a B of some sort... The Ninja didn't spark my interest, I would go with a C or lower. The gladiators, of course that's what we want so we can have Spartacus, Retarius and the other one to bond. However, that's all they do that's worthy in the battlefield. Of course initiative is fun to have, but not that real of a threat when one has the +8. I would put them at a C+ or a B. The Protectors could change the game, yet with a decent squad backing up your hero's they're toast compared with the other three Kyrie squads. Even with their hero, I would prefer the more expensive and faster moving Imperium. Yet, with their bonding and the first common flying range squad, they deserve an A- or a B+ but way to expensive for anything higher then an A... As of right now, that's what I believe is reasonable for them. now for the off topic.... I find most people in the Mid-west quite friendly in the tournament settings. Sadly, I believe most of the time when someone is being mean it's me being arrogant. I try to play fair, yet sometimes I have caught myself doing something like, not telling them they need to roll one more attack dice, or telling the other person to move more forward or telling them a much better spot to place their unit. My friend Matthias would do it, I try to help those who have less experience as much as I can, without trying to win their game for them against me. Though I have heard that I am sort of arrogant when I say I should beat this army, after looking at their army. Most of the time I am right about it, but I say good game, don't cuss or get in a bad mood when i do happen to lose. Though, I have also heard I'm quite a smack talker, who can back my stuff up. Also in opinion of mine and some of my groups, I could possibly be one of the top Cyprien users, though most games I'm not that great without Sonya, Last tournament used 6 anubian wolves and Cyprien for a 600 one General army, and out of the 10 missed chilling touch, at least 7 of them where an 11 or 12. IF I would have went with Sonya, in my prediction I would have wasted three whole armies alone with him. But I went 3-1 and the one i lost to was because I rolled a 1 on my wolf, when he had one heavy grut left....worst way to lose with that army.... |

Re: Heroscape Power Rankings
Dwarves are 4 to squad. But the knights are still better.

I got into Heroscape between Waves 5 and 6. As I was plotting out what units to buy, I used the rankings in an effort to avoid allowing one or two dominating armies into my collection that would be the only things I owned worth playing. I waited for a month or two before buying any bonding units and then bought more than one at a time, that type of thing. Quote:
Don't forget Atlaga. 7-move Raelin, 5-move Minions! And range 5, attack 4 for 90 points is well above the offensive production of a typical support figure, even discounting Witherwood. According to the power rankings, the Minions are currently the second-best Kyrie at an A-. That's where I'd think Atlaga would go. |

Re: Heroscape Power Rankings
Someone pointed this post out to me. All I can say about General Themed armies is that it's the most enjoyable aspect of building an army for me. I've been to two tournaments where Craig Van Ness has also played. Although I didn't get to play him at either one, I did notice that he also likes to use single General Themed armies. If that's how the creator of the game likes to play, I know I'm in good company

Re: Heroscape Power Rankings
Could more Dwarven units change this or is it pretty set?

More dwarven champions to bond with would certainly make them better. But who really knows what the future holds and how it will affect the dwarf / knight comparison? |
