I am beating my head against the wall trying to figure out what will work better for an upcoming 450 point event. Here is what I have so far:

x2 BR Raider MKIIs = 228
DI Towed Arrow IV artillery = 34
x3 BR Oni BA = 60
x3 BR Shock Troopers = 48
x3 BR Elite Infantry = 54
BR Faction Pride = 15

Total = 439

Now I think 439 is a touch low when it comes to 450, but it is do-able. Is there anything that I can add or switch out here?

I am looking forward to trying out my two Raider MKIIs. I have heard good things about the A4 and the Oni BA. Shock Troopers sound good and the defense, range, and movement for the elite infantry looks good.

On another note........what terrain would you bring with the above army? Any strategy points?

Thanks :)

u need at lease one transport for your infantry and drop the br towed aa its not very good. 439 is too low cause all i'd have to do is hang back and out pog ur weak towed aa arty plus br faction pride is nice but not enough to repair ur mechs or arty, cause the br raider is really good but you need at least a mech with mechanical repair. itts a good start but you need more repair and need to fill in the rest of your points or else you will be out artyd.

Well, I realize that the BR Towed Arrow IV isn't as great as other arty, but it only needs a 4 to hit and that is nice. As for the holding back and out shooting with Artillery, thats what the 2 Raiders and the 10 speed jump jets on the Shock troopers are for. Add in Blocking Terrain of course.

I want someone to stay back so I don't have to protect the A4. The Oni are great for capture and the Shocktroopers have Bypass.

I agree about needing a repair mech and a nice Ratchetman would work great, but I can't fit in the points....... :ermm:

If I could get a hold of the Merc Zahn or the BR Garrot I would be set. I dislike most of the other transports. Which do you recommend?

I redid some stuff:

2x BR Raider MKIIs
1x BR DI Towed Arrow IV
6x BR Oni BA
3x BR Shocktroopers
BR Faction Pride card

total = 445

Thanks for the info.............. :)

I like the second one better because i don't like the Elite Infantry by themselves because point defense is kind of wasted. The onis are also pretty good. It is a pretty good army since you have no transport.

I haven't tried this army in a tournament or anything but from the side games i have played with it it works very well

BR mongoose + 9 pt Graduate Pilot + Decoy = 139
BR Glory Fire Support Tank 86
BR 5 Oni BA = 100
BR DI Towed Arrow IV 34
BR 3 Shock Troopers = 48
BR 2 Raiden BA = 28
BR AoD Faction Pride 15

Brings the army to 450 exact run the Raidens with the glory fire and the Mongoose as a decoy for the tank and infantry plus he isn't bad on his own with a 23 decoy and 2 Rapid Strike.

how about 2 RaiderMKII's--228
Mongoose/Decoy/pilot of choice(Millhew,Turner or generic)--130+ pilot
infantry of choice-----???prefer BA
Faction pride ----15
373+ pilot +infantry


3 mechs can create havoc---Subzero temps,swamp,storm

If your going to field the MKII's, you really need to add in better repair. And right now the Ratchetman is the only way to go for repair in constructed. I also suggest running 2 A4's if your gonna run them at all. force your enemy to move somthing, then force them to push it, then make it take damage. that's what their good for, Stagger fire. I like the Oni's, but dislike the Shock troopers.....


For the mongoose, there is only one Varient I'll use: Mongoose + Galedon Military Academy Graduate + Improved Myomer = 134 points. 12 inch assault range for 6-8 clicks of rapid striking damage. I do not like the raiden's simpley cause I do not think they deal enough damage for their point cost, and again, I do not like the shock troops.....


but these 3 mechs all die very, very quickley. one decent shot to any of them and their out of the fight without a faster means of repair.
