Here's the deal-e-o. You make a 100 pt. Army add a booster, and play with it. Boosters are random, so I don't know what set it's from. Should I just use a Techun or KI swarms? Gunners, or Ram? Let me know if you've ever played anything like this before, and if so, what did you use and how'd you do?

Do you use the entire contents of the booster, or just 100 pts worth? Because if so this format is broken by things like Arcane Draconums and Solonavi creators.

I would do something along the lines of:

3 amotep gunner***


shamen***


you get a decent range formation, enhancement and a solid healer. You can hit big figs with a formation shot by the gunners.

You don't have to worry about really big uniques unless some one gets lucky and opens one.


I wouldn't risk a melee formation as your booster may not contain enough support, or else have good range that wouldn't mesh well with the melee guys.

Nor would I use one big figure because of the threat of others using a 100 pt swarm, or pulling bad figures to support it with.

You make 100 pts. worht of army, then open a booster and add the whole thing to your army.

Wow, this format is most assuredly broken. Some boosters won't even have 100 points worth of figs in them and others will have literally more than 200. That's a huge difference. If someone pulls an arcane and doesn't even do anything with it that's 202 survivor points. Taking into account the usefulness of large uniques in booster drafts it just gets worse.

I would consider it a good idea to take with me something along the lines of what Bshugg said. I would avoid swarm, as there is no guarantee that the contents of your booster would compliment it, and swarm needs synergy like no other army type. A formation of amoteps, on the other hand would tend to be able to do what they do regardless of what you pull.

That said, personally I would do something much less smart and take Scarabet and a red scorpem with me. This sort of off-the-wall tournament is not exactly the type of thing I would play in for a ranking boost. Assuming that you have around 10 players the odds of someone pulling a unique are not that bad, and if that unique happens to be a good one, well, its all over. So taking my amoteps -- which have seen far too much combat in their day -- would be sort of pointless, as this is a good time tournament, not a showdown of talent.

If u made like 200 points pull a booster then add figs to make it the next 100 points it would work.

For example person1 and 2 make 200 point armies
Person 1 pulls 130 points of figs
Person 2 pulls 190 points of figs
Person 1 has 330 points
Person 2 has 390 points
Both people add figs to make it 400 points because when u round the higher amount of points up it equalls 400

I will try it and see how it goes

How about this:

Loners:
Dwarven Ram ** 45

Formation 1:
Khamsin Fuser x2 ** 15
Khamsin Fuser * 13
Leech Medic ** 12
= 100 points

Strategy is to run around and ram any rammable figures, and take out any fragile uniques (i.e. Magus, EGM, etc.). Then pick off and weakend figures with the Fusers. Use Leech as a last resort, I don't want to rely on healing. And then just hope for a good Unique in my booster, and then I'll be ready to go!

Okay guys, keep 'em comin!

here's a few:
army 1
boomer***X2
k.fuser*
leech medic**
leech medic*

amazon b.mistress*

army 2
troll arty ***
trol arty**
mending preistess***

The booster is Unlimited, so I think I'm going to go with a Destroyer and two imps. And some curtain walls as terrain
