I saw your games and was quite impressed with this build.
Right away I was quite sure you would take the cup.
I would say that any opponent without a Fell Reaper would have a very hard time contending with this army; as a consequence I have added one to my main army. Your figs break easily, can cover each other and Morg can be used as a bait, as you said.
Maybe you could let me in on some of its weaknesses you experienced during the games? That would be very interesting.
Soemone mentioned earlier that the sriker gets ram, he doesn't, that's the destroyer. As for number of figs who cares? :D I wouldn't play a 'machine gun nest' striker army cause part of his cost is in his 14"flight +plus he can only do f/l to one target. You want 'machine gun nest' use stormie or hierophant.
I find it odd that you go through two pages and choose to point at one suggestion.
Just for the record, Pyre Spirit costs more points that LOST, so it shouldn't surprise me that he could possibly kill it, and supposing that you also used a ML to get b2b without it shooting first, that means that you are saying that your 112points can take on a LOST, good job. if the striker is setup pointing at the LOST to act as a bodyguard, then the LOST can just break and let the Striker take a shot at the spirit..
I love the spirit, and I believe that it is a means to deal with just about any army type out there.. but saying that a PYRE spirit can handle one figure that is less expensive is.. absurd.
Oh yea, I didnt say that pyre can even hang with striker, I play Host and Lost armies, I love em, but the fact is Pyre owns Stonethrowers usually:( didnt mean to offend you yandros
pardon my ignorance but how does a pyre HOWN a OST????
she rams for 1 click and if all goes well gets smacked for 4!!!!!!!!!
leaving her without ram and the venom doesnt affect the titan???
could you explain please?
and if the idea is to say get the pyre inside the minimum range and the polearm prevents the OST attack, then it doesnt work aswell cause they are to separate actions, move polearm for 1 click then smack same result as above...
all I am saying is that pyre has a 19 def which is very hard to hit, pyre usually hits first and last, its just the way things are, I hate it cause I play double ost and would never want to own a pyre spirit, but unless the Ost gets godlike rolls, it is toast. I am sorry that I messed up someones thread talking about ost when the topic is actually about striker:
striker
warhatchett krugg or impaler and maybe a healer is the best 200 striker army IMHO
I played in a 3 hundred point scenario battle today, we haven't been getting any prize support for the month cause Wizkids screwed up and actually lost the local venue! :mad: and so we haven't been doing any of the campaignes since the AGvsBPR one. the scenario, really only one rule, was that your army could only contain a maximum of 1 unit of each color of each figure. my army was
KI charger
Wraith
Centaur champion
*,*** recruit
**standard bearer
*squire
* imp
**warrior sprite
* woodland scout (she killed a ***heavy cavalier!! of course it was on its last click but whatever eh?)
pls note that I knew a GFD would be playing so a large quantity of blockers was required to keep my chariot from getting smacked.
anyway somebody was using a striker army that looked like this:
Striker
elemental priest
**artillerist
***artillerist
**warrior sprite
***warrior sprite
It went like this: blockers kept striker from killer chariot, chariot and wraith do 4 damage a piece to striker, striker moves back to try to get healed by elemental priest, elemental priest rolls double ones on healing, tries next turn, rolls double sixes! but then rolls a one for amout of healing, centaur charges and slaughters the striker:) eventually finish off the rest of figs-stupid arties are hard to kill! total casulties: entire opposing army, my * squire.
wow was that ever long! anyway to make a very long story short, i have a low oppinion of strikers, and ive never seen the others entered in battle.
