Sir Dupuis - what's your army idea?

Now that Truth has even more anticipatory juices pumping with his blog post revealing(confirming) Sir Dupuis' card ( http://www.heroscapers.com/community/blog.php?b=250 ) I'm eager to see everyone's ideas for 400-600 point armies involving him. I'll go first with a 495 point army:

Sir Dupuis 150
Sir Gilbert 105
Knights of Westonx2 140
Microcorp Agentsx1 100

As a melee army, this combines the nice durability of the KoW with the ultimate hammer of Sir Dupuis. Of the 100 point ranged squads, the MCA have the most flexibility - plus I'm kinda tired of using the KMA all the time

So what knightly thoughts have been percolating through YOUR mind?

or his desserts are small
That dares not put it to the touch
to gain or lose it all

I declare this the raddest army ever. Charging Templar Knights and Easy Company laying waste to evildoers across the land!

Here's my silly army:

Knights of Weston x2 - 140
Thorgrim - 220
Dupuis - 370
Tagawa Samurai Archers x2 - 500

Thorgrim can help out the knights and archers while alive, and Dupuis while dead.

Beware, mighty Templar!
It's a very sad sight
when a 13pt Viper
kills a 40pt knight.

Re: Sir Dupuis - what's your army idea?

Oh yeah. Here's my army:

350 4th mass x 5
150 Sir Dupuis
500

That's 22 starting spaces. He's valiant. They have guns. What's not to like?

Sir Dupuis definitely gets some of his value when he is boosted by other knights. Otherwise, drop him and get a squad of templars instead of him. However, if that floats your boat, go for it.

I don't care about choosing my army based on strategy. I choose an army based on coolness and personal appeal... even if it means that my units will die trying. Hail to the glory of HeroScape and bravery.

Re: Sir Dupuis - what's your army?

Dupuis 150 +
KoWsX2 140 = 290 +
Sir Gilbert 105 = 395 +
James Murphy 75 = 470 +
Guilty 30 = 500

I figure that both Guilty and James Murphy have the potential to hurt more than one time per turn and the core army of knights needs range support. Why not some cowboys?

Re: Sir Dupuis - what's your army?

Pretty self explanatory- can be adjusted for given point totals with more, or slightly different vikings.

Coup de Grace
3x Knights of Weston 210
Finn the Viking Champion 290
Eldgrim the Viking Champion 320

Sir Dupuis 470
