How do I make a good army. I'm new at heroscape

Welcome to the Heroscapers 2.0 site! We've still got some dust to clear and adjustments to make, including launching a new front page, but we hope you enjoy the improvements to the site. Please post your feedback and any issues you encounter in this thread.
What's in an Order Marker? (D1, D2, and D3 up)

Sorry if I wasn't clear Alex, but I meant read Jexik's post for some really good advice on army building.
I got no idea man! You're on your own.
Can't Roman Legionnaires, Sacred Band, and Goblin Cutters also be Defenders (AKA Screen). For instance, if you play ranged squads/heroes you might want 2 squads of Legos/Sacred band as a screen and if you have Horned Skull Brutes, you basically use the Goblins as mobile wound markers. Obviously you can build an army around Legos & sacred band and they are Bread and Butter, but they seem to be more common as Defenders in the current standard match-up Metagame, correct?
Yeah it depends on the army.
Romans + Redcoats, they'd be more of a screen.
I also tend to dislike those kinds of builds. Marcus + Me Burq Sa + Airborne Elite + 2x 4th Mass + 2x Romans was actually the "good" army that inspired this article originally.
Old Battle Report which hardly anyone read.
It's not clear from your report how close to the front lines you placed your AE, that Braxas got to them so fast. But, then again, if they had been placed differently, you may never have written this excellent article!
Uh... thanks?
Wow...that's the heroscapers.com equivalent of the twitter generation asking who Paul McCartney is and why is he trending?
Fixed, sorry guys, I was looking at the post and accidentally typed in Jexik instead of wolfking...............
Yeah, we figured.
Jexik, are you planning to add SoV/C3V customs to that list? After all, they are the continuation of HeroScape.
Just a thought.

No, even if you have 3 Rat cards, you would still only be able to activate 4 of your 12 rats. However, if one dies you can still move 4 rats, unlike how the Unique Squads work.

No.
I've not played with those figures, so I won't discuss how to use them. I don't play Heroscape very much at all anymore.
The main lesson of the article isn't the list at the bottom or end of each section but to learn how to make an army so that you can get the most out of your activations.

Right. What makes common-based offenses powerful is how they can absorb casualties and still get their full number of attacks per turn. Unique Squads are a risk because their offense is drastically reduced by casualties, while Unique Heroes are risky because although their offense is not reduced incrementally, they are a high risk for losing entire turns (order markers) when they fall.

Colors make me dizzy
If it makes you feel any better I can't even vote on this because the multiple-colored text basically makes this unreadable for me.

OEAO's Power Rankings list each figure in the color of their classification.
EDIT: Except he doesn't include C3V figures. @dok did power rankings for the C3V figures. His OP doesn't include their classifications, but they are visible for some figures in the spoiler for his old rankings.
