Please look at these 4 armies and let me know what you think. :confused:

I'm gonna base my reply only on the figures you have listed.:)


I think I like army two best, with one caveat. I recommend you make it 200 points even.

So, based on your figures listed:

Army #2-196pts
Wraith 61
Autumn (lvl3) 42
Nightstalker*** 30
Nightstalker*** 30
Troll Artillerist** 33

If you drop Autumn to level two (34 points), you can then squeeze in the utem xbow at 12 points to make the army an even 200. This has quite a few threats, a solid healer, and an inexpensive utem that can be used as a harrasser. I would recommend several "low walls" for your terrain. This can prevent your wraith and nightstalkers from being shot.

Now my biggest concern is the action usage. Formations (c. priest with nightstalkers) would improve your action situation.

Good luck,
Rob

If this army is for this week's campaign, you might want to rethink the use of those Nightstalkers. Being as glass jawed as they are, you might find yourself in trouble if someone rolls snakeyes and they all take a click of damage.

I'm a little concerned about your use of Autumn. She's a dual purpose figure whose strength is ML. But you don't have any figures that are useful to levitate in any of these armies. If you are really going to pay that much for a healer, and don't need the ML of an Autumn, I'd switch to Astrus. Higher attack, longer range and Toughness to negate Ram and Aftershocks from the campaign scenario. If you have the figures, I'd try something like this:

Astrus lvl 3 (44)
2x***Nightstalkers (60)
Wraith (61)
*Crystal Protector (12)
***Zombie Hound (22)
Total = 199

Make sure to bring LOTS of Hindering Terrain!

it wouldn't be much effect seeing you have no formations but the idea of range is a good idea and X2***Nightstalkers was an awesome idea just shoot away with army #2

First of all, I am a big fan of the Wraith. So I would keep it no matter what. If you are limited in choices to the figures you have listed in your first post, I would go with Army #2. If you have other figures to choose from, perhaps some Seething Knights, Screeching Terrors, Shades, Tormented Souls, etc. you might be able to come up with a strong formation, or some other harrassing threats. Shockwave from the Screeching Terrors is kind of scary and Seething Knights are very tough and harder to hurt. They are also Necropolis Sect. However, Shades are fast and so is the Wraith. If you get a chance to list some other figures you have access to, maybe someone can give you some more ideas. I don't think what you have is really bad, but if you have more figures that you could tell of, maybe someone could give you some strategies as well. Don't forget the hindering terrain. Good luck with whichever you decide to use. :)

Here are a few figures that I've been trying to work with....

Autumn
Amazon Queen 77
Wraith 61
Corupted Priest* 48
Centaur Lieutenant*** 37
Troll Artillerist** 33
2X Nightstalker*** 60
Ranger*** 20

The newest army I was thinking about is:
Amazon Queen 77
Corrupted Priest*48
Troll Artillerist** 33
Nightstalker*** 30
Utem Crossbowman*** 12
200pts total

I have lots of figures to choose from (350+) and it would take forever to list them all. Also, I'm very new, so I really don't know much about formations.

your 2nd army is pretty decent
try getting solo strikers i have a good army including them and theyre wicked good

what is the opponents army? maybe their all newbies

it really depends on what is your opponents army. sometimes it is with the dice rolls.... :D

it also matters whether your enemies have good guys with long range or not :-P
