Well I dont have an anunub and dont forsee getting one any time soon. I really want to try this army out so heres what Im gonna run first just to see how it goes.

A poor man Boarder Guard:

Amotep Gunner *** 24 x3
Technomancer * 25
Shaman *** 28

Scorpem Gunner *** 47
Ram Warrior * 12
Amazon mancatcher * 16

I have a feeling it will lack a punch that the double enhanced F/L can give an army when shoot at formations. Ill post my findings once I have a chance to run it up against a few armys.

I was looking at the Scholar Magus Bessa option, and considering the pros and cons of using her. If you also replace the *Shaman with Barber Hurgg at level 1, you have the beginnings of another formation (a Hero formation). However, that's where I hit a wall.

3 x ***Amotep Gunners - 72
Scholar Magus Bessa L2 - 34
Barber Hurgg L1 - 21

***Scorpem Gunner - 47
*Ram Warrior - 12
*Amazon Mancatcher - 16

Total: 202

Still the same problem, over by 2 points, and nowhere to get them. Too bad there's no cheap heroes that can replace the Ram Warrior or Mancatcher...

Edit: By the way Brad, if you use Barber Hurgg (at level 1) in your original army, you get ME for 3 slots, but healing for only 1. However, your Barber Hurggs attack (for healing) is 8...

i think using heros is going to require losing tha mancather and the ram warrior, unfortunately.

I considered Barber when he came out

He is less effective against other F/L because he cant stand back and have all gunners and anunub in his arc, and still be protected

The only thing that is moderatly tough to heal after being wounded is the scorpem. If I had a war krugg in there like my friends version does, I would need an 8 attack, but the army survives fine with the 7. I just figure Im not going to ever heal the scorpem unless I have a free action and want to gamble.

I have also considerd the elven Acolyte. He has higher attack and stealth allowing you to use hindering and fling him to work as a wall. Losing enhancement is too much of a draw back.
