Requiring you to use all shyft for an army without uniques is not realistic. There are very few shyft to choose from. Also they lack range, are overcosted since they are mainly meant to be used to shuttle mage spawn around, and there are zero thats' right zero healers. Couple this with their lack of damage capability, the best shyft only does 2 damage and you have no chance of winning. An army with toughness/battle fury will be your worst nightmare. You have great attack values but you don't do damage so something like trolls or even throttle worms would eat you up. I suggest going back to the person running the tournament and asking for a different faction. He might as well tell you to play draconum if you can't use uniques. you'd get to use whelps and thralls (yay :( )

Woah now, let's not go dissing the Dracs... and if you don't want your whelps and thralls, send them to me.

Anyways, if you are not allowed to use mage spawn with your army... you're gonna be SOL big time. If you can't get your faction changed, at least ask the warlord to let you use mage spawn, as they are the only reason the shyft even exist.

I'd say the only peices worth playing for you would be the Heart Seeker*, Bond maker*, Serpant Invader*/**/***, and Swooping Invader*/**/***; and possibly a Soul Stealer*. Use a bond maker with the heart seekers for a swarm formation, and definately try to capture anything not nailed to the table, use the mounted's to do shake-off damage and try to help you hold your own in combat, and the soulstealer could be used to necro back any of your figs that die (I can assure you they will). Personally I would argue for the use of Mage Spawn, then you could actually come up with something pretty good.

The Warlord said that I can use uniqes and magespawn so plz help me make an army with shyft and mage spawn. I need to have a 200 point army built by Wensday. I normlly play necro so I'm not used to spawn or shyft. Please help me out.

p.s. Thanx to all those who tried to help.

Hmm, Your used to using Necro...so try this:

Formation 1:
4x Skeleton* 40 pts.
1x Soul Stealer ** 44pts.

Formation 2:
4x Skeleton* 40 pts.
1x Soul Stealer** 44 pts.

Loners:
1x Shade* 12pts.
1x Shade*** 20 pts.

Total: 200 pts.

This is a very simple swarm army I used when Whirl Wind was first released. Use the Shades as Harrasers/Blockers and the Soul Stealers to bring the Skeletons back using Necro.

Thanx Shocwave!:D :D :D :eek:

I thought that this army was supposed to be magespawn and shyft not AG. So no I don't think you want to do that.

hmm...That would work fine. I'm trying to think how to do it. The Shades removed would only equal 24 points. Technos = 25...

Hmm, you could down-grade one Soul Stealer to a *, adding nine points. Remove both Shades, giving you a total of 33 extra points. Add in the * Technomancer, leaving us with 8 points. Then you could add a ***Imp. That would give you the Techno, 2 units with Necro, and one Harraser/Blocker.

Making a total of 200pts, if my math is correct. What do you think?

Oh, lol, AofH is right. Oh well...

Forgot about that oh-well thanx anyway all:D
