I would have used Shadows, but they are chargers who can close in on combat. I am using the Sprites as a wall, that is also why I used the (*), they only have one click of LI, which is all I need and I can fit in more.

So I am using the Sprites as a moving wall, until I close in and come base-to-base, then they are unneeded. If I had used the Shadows I would only have been able to use one, which wouldn't be enough to block LOS.

New Suggestion * Crsytal Protectors They only cost 13 points each and would allow you more points to work with.

This here is my Orcish suiside squad, submitted more for your amusement than any thing else.

Formation? 1

Launcher** X 2
Shaman *
Shaman**

Formation? 2

Tribal Brute** X 2
Tribal Brute***
Clurch Piper*

It was played one official time only, in a single elim tourniment.

The oposing army was ALL Tormented Soles

I never hit any of them.

I have had some better results in friendly play.

Yes seeing your sig line over and over finally drove me to this.....

Hey I actually Like It I used to play something simmaler(sp)

How about taking out the ** Shaman and adding a * Launcher that way you could fire in formation with the three for 4 damage


The Verdict: 3.5

This is a Suiside Squad.

A formation might fix that.


I have something similar that uses Snurga....

Not an Suiside Squad in that case...

I usually play NS/BP but orcs are an enjoyable diversion.

//edit

Also the Launcher* has a shorter range,

I will have to change the name any way, it just won a battle. Turns out that a double enhanced Launcher** is actually dangerous.

Solonavi Destroyer
Shadow *** x2
Crystal Protector ***

total = 188
Blocking Terrain.

The Destroyer naturally flits around and blasts stuff from behind blocking terrain. The shadows go after support pieces and try to tie down heavy ranged figures.

I made this army in response to people at the local venue who keep using heavily ranged armies.

Any ideas for improvements?

ever thought about using a wind minion instead of destroyer--limited invisibility would negate all the range and force them to base you--you have flight and chargers to back you up

First I don't own a wind minon, though, true, he would be effective...but the reason I ran with the destroyer is because his magic blast has more possible damage, he can hide behind blocking terrain and therefore not be based (or at least not right away), he has a 12" range as opposed to 10", and he has a 14" flight, making him more mobile.

one prob. with destroyer is when you hit a fig with MI(corpheus) or get a pyre spirit ML into base contact you may have an uphill battle esp.w/pyre

I would agree Your destroyer only needs to take oen hit to be toasted at range and 12 being the highest move/range in your army wont cut it.
