Formation
34 ***Crystal Protector (2)
15 **Crystal Protector

Loners
59 Centaur Champion
49 ***Sislith Tracker
43 **Sislith Bladesman

i've been playing with this for a couple of weeks already, and i've been thinking of revising it. the Crystal Protectors form a wall that keeps my units safe from ranged attacks, but they do very little else. they also have a hard time healing my other figs, and they are easy targets for rammers. i've been thinking of the following modifications:

Army 1
59 Centaur Champion
49 ***Sislith Tracker
43 **Sislith Bladesman
32 *Amazon Mancatcher (2)
17 **Crystal Protector

pros: entire army can be moved in two turns; Mancatchers add harrassment and capture abilities, and can deter Rammers from basing the Protector

cons: only one healer; Mancatchers only deal 1 damage

Army 2
59 Centaur Champion
49 ***Sislith Tracker
43 **Sislith Bladesman
32 ***Thorn Maiden
17 **Crystal Protector

pros: Thorn Maiden can deter Rammers from basing the Protector with its Polearm and Venom SAs; it can also be used to run after and damage most healers

cons: although the army can be moved in two turns, it'll move slowly; only one healer

Army 3
59 Centaur Champion
49 ***Sislith Tracker
43 **Sislith Bladesman
34 L2 Autumn
15 **Crystal Protector

pros: L2 Autumn is a more effective healer; she can yo-yo the Tracker, as well as fling the other figs

cons: although the army can be moved in two turns, it'll also move slowly

any comments or suggestion?

I would pick Army 1

it has more available threats towards your opponents army.

Army 3 looks promising... has a lot of potential use of ML.

i like army 1 the best my reaso is because i like the mancatchers they are very useful pieces

Most of the rammers I think of (war kruggs, minotaurs, pyre spirit) have battle fury so you cannot capture them until you weaken them. See if you can buy the package "Heroic Quests: the Citadel" with Astrus; he is a good healer with toughness at level 3.

actually war hatchetkruggs don't have Battle Fury in the early slots of their dial. their Battle Fury appears somewhere in the middle.

I would go with army 3.

ML is very helpful, if played well. It works in the offence as well as in the defence.

You have charge, bound, yo-yo, healing, blockers, you have support (Thorn Maidens rule!) - looks really good to me.

Go for some victories for the EL !

definitely army 1 or 3.
just because they are the most versatile.

ok, now, here's my latest dilemma: i'm gonna get a ***Horned Hatchetkrugg soon, and i'm thinking of using it to replace the **Sislith Bladesman. any suggestions?

i think i'd rather use the ***horned hatchetkrugg than the **Sislith Bladesman. solid 4basedmg rather than 3WM. WM, is kinda hard to rely on.

same here ...
i'd rather go with the horned hatchetkrugg ***
much better than the sislith blades ** ...
it has an initial damage of 4 and can charge for 6 :)
well that's just me ...
i like horned hatchets

what i meant to say was do any of you have suggestions on how i can free up 1 point without changing much in the army?

Well the Krugg is the tougher of the two and has the reach advantage over the Bladesman, but, you have remove a certain potential with this army - formation.

blame it on the protector! ;) :D

Army 1
59 Centaur Champion
49 ***Sislith Tracker
44 ***Horned Hatchetkrugg
19 **Amazon Mancatcher
12 *Shade
17 **Crystal Protector

pros: entire army can be moved in two turns; **Amazon Mancatcher is a better captor, and can deter Rammers from basing the Protector

cons: only one healer; Mancatcher only deals 1 damage; although a good harasser, the *Shade has fewer clicks than the *Amazon Mancatcher

Army 2
59 Centaur Champion
49 ***Sislith Tracker
44 ***Horned Hatchetkrugg
31 L2 Astrus
17 **Crystal Protector

pros: two healers; L2 Astrus is a really powerful healer with a high attack rating for its points

cons: although the army can be moved in two turns, it'll move slowly

any suggestions?
