I've come up with a 300 point army that I'm not sure if it will work or not. Let me know what your opinions are.


<LONER>
Emerald Glad Mystery

<FORMATION>
Living Elemental ***
Troll Artillerist **
Crystal Bladesman ***

<LONER>
Gate Lord


The Gate Lord will attract swarm armies and lay them to waste with his sweep.

The formation will begin picking off the larger opponents, and the EGM will provide healing and defense.

I'm not sure if this army will work or not, but I'd love some second opinions.

What makes you think that your opponent is going to be stupid enough to swarm a gate lord?

If you want to go this route trade out the melee units and add more artillerist power. This gives you the opportunity to move up your gate lord and then move your artillerists within 12" of the gate lord's base. When things get bad the gate lord can fly back out of reach, get healed by emerald, and leave whatever he flew away from within range of an artillerist or 3.

My advice is the same as Endrick's, dump the blademen and the elemental and put in more **arties(at least two more although three more wouldn't be bad). That way your opponent can either a let u blast me rom afar or b play with mr. gatelord

Thanks for the advice. I wasn't sure it this set up would work, tying up so many points with the GL, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Thanks again.

also you might want to find some way to add a harasser in there. you could easily get outflanked with tthe gatelord oging after something the EGM anbothr and a 3 one moving in for kill or dividign your troops. basically have the EGM protect gate lord and Gate rd protect EGM if you get me.

all someone has to do is tie up gate lord for afew turns and get some critical damage on EGM adn your in trouble.

well, endrick, i was stupid enough to swarm a gate lord... 2 ** utems, 2 *** utems, and 1 *** altem... shot it with my ki devil, swarmed it, killed it in two more turns, didn't lose a single unit.

i do agree, though, that more arties would be good... why doesn't the egm stay with them for the good ol' tank formation, though?

This shows a great deal of luck or a great deal of stupidity on your opponent's part to nail himself to the table too close to that many figures and not fly away when things got bad.

good point, but the gate lord running away is still not the gate lord wiping out a swarm, as the indicated plan was.

althoguh a Ki devil shockwaving first does nto constititue a "trur" swarm.

yeah but good maneuver.

i'd be insane not to have back up for a swarm.

maybe shed the gate lord. throw in a thanatos and try to fit a troll gunner in ther. maybe even elven demi magi.

basically depends on how many swarms your facing and what types.

The lord will take care of swarm, there is no need for the reaper unless you'll looking to surprise your opponent; if anything add more range, gunners, arties it doesn't matter.

i like gate lord with one warh. *** and one tecnomancer .

le warh. tham gate lord , oh dont forget one greave di. * .
