Need some help fine tuning this. Its 500 points Modern Age going for Theme Team: Soldier


157 CR023 Green Lantern
73 BB029 Mademoiselle Marie
25 BB013 Checkmate Pawn (Black)
25 BB013 Checkmate Pawn (Black)
25 BB013 Checkmate Pawn (Black)
35 BB014 Checkmate Knight (Black)
35 BB014 Checkmate Knight (Black)
35 BB014 Checkmate Knight (Black)
35 BB014 Checkmate Knight (Black)
445

Another Idea:

Build
157 CR023 Green Lantern
100 JL034 August General in Iron
73 BB029 Mademoiselle Marie
35 BB014 Checkmate Knight (Black)
35 BB014 Checkmate Knight (Black)
35 BB014 Checkmate Knight (Black)
35 BB014 Checkmate Knight (Black)
6 Checkmate ATA on Knight
6 Checkmate ATA on Knight
6 Checkmate ATA on Knight
6 Checkmate ATA on Knight
494

Also, can GL carry General?

To answer your question, no GL cannot carry another flier. So August is toting himself around unless Tk'd.

As for the teams, I am really interested to see how they fair. I say play test them both to see what plays better. Both look fun.

i wanna know why not have a few white knights?

Don't ever rely on Pawns getting promoted, it has yet to work out for me. It also sucks that White Knight, White Pawn and Pawn 502 are Spys instead for keyword.

Im really not expecting the pawns to level up. I just dont have that many knights.

It suddenly occurs to me, that ATA's are no longer feats and thus aren't beholden to the 10 percent rule. This adjusts my build quite.

It sure does change it a bit. Good catch.

Yeah. I played underpoints on this one. I only had the chance to play 2 matches. The first one was a slaughter, the second one I did better. Overall, you have to play it like chess game. Choosing which pieces you may have to sacrifice. Also, Waller's Leadership really comes in handly when using power actions for Perplex. I had to drop after that. Next week I'll give this a shot;

Comments?

Checkmate being played like chess.....seems accurate to me...

That is what I have felt from playing these guys. You almost have to sacrifice the Pawns to get your main guns into the action.

A checkmate GL tank might be the key. It would allow you to get the Stealth pieces to a certain blocking point, all in one fell swoop. That way GL and the secondary attackers have something to fall back to.
