Both armies are 398 points. Any tips or suggestions would be great, this will be my first tournament on Friday.

Forgot to mention Domains, I have

Clear Skies

Any other suggestions here would be appreciated.

Kierin cannot wear the cloak of the dervish, it has a sword requirement. Beyond that, with the Spirit Armor out, all your elves will be forces to be reconed with. I think I like the first one a little more, as it is faction pure, however I also have had great success with Rava, and the Pain Wraiths revenent wont hurt to have along, especially with the damage your elves and Rava will be dealing out.

army one, its pure faction and takes advantage of the spirit armor. also use zeph to leaderhsip kieren so she can attack each turn.

I tried a game with this setup last night - I think I need some more warriors for swarming and tying up so that Rava can get some more shots in. Using leadership with Zeph on Rava everyother turn was quite nasty.

With army #1 instead of Silvercloud and since I cannot use Cloak maybe Heartdrinker on Keirin? +2 atk and +2 def might help me more than the +2 dmg on soaring since Keirin's attack is lower than Rava's.

Was thinking of using a similar build to the one above except use 2x ***HE Archers on my token and let them shoot with arcing fire and 16" range and use the extra points on more HE warriors to get as many as possible.

Any other suggestions or ideas?

No ideas - anyone?

Ok - this is what I am thinking for 400pt tourney today.

Silvercloud - 27

---planning on running Rava solo and trying not to get based by any figure, how about Heartseeker on Rava?

Zeph W. - 38
Spirit Armor - 40
2X ***HE Archers - 35 each
---Zeph will stay in range of Leadership for Rava with the 2 HE archers on one side of him, will stay near the token on my side and use the 16" range on the archers to pick anything off that I can fire at

*War Priestess - 35
---anything better for cheaper? trying to stay EL but if you have a good suggestion for healer

1X *HE Warrior - 16
2X **HE Warrior - 21
1X ***HE Warrior - 26
---not sure how I should run these guys, was thinking maybe 3 for a formation and use the other to run solo as a body guard for Rava? suggestions?

Total 395

Suggestions?

Tourney tonight - please enlighten me with your knowledge

Thanks.

OK, I like the army, I like it better with Rava in, though it's not faction pure as I like, Rava really is the best archer out there, and he still gets the +2 Range which is just sick.

I however, would play him with Inferno and Magestone Bracers. This way, he basically can't be shot at all, and his Lurk will allow him to stay alive a long time and deal pain with Inferno, who's going to want to base him??

So he needs no bodyguard (unless a real huge fattie is after him, then maybe use some Elves to help him)

My only real problem with the army is that the attacks on everyone but Rava are low, even with Gang-Up.

Look out for a pimped out Chroma or Caldera or Trix, if you see one, rush to base with Rava, let Inferno go to work, swarm with the Elves...

Yes, I agree on the Inferno - incredible relic for Rava, alas I do not have one. Been working on trading for one and checking ebay and no can do - Silvercloud will have to work for now.

That said the low atks is a problem. Rava has a 13 at range but everyone else is going to be in close combat with an 8. Any suggestions on some switches? Maybe only have one archer for support and switch out a warr for a Cloud Warr, Rock Griffen, or one of the centuars?

Ok - how about this to raise my atk a bit.
