Well I can in no way take credit for this. I believe in giveing credit where credit is due. A member on thw WK forums named Ominus40 came up with a new army type. He named the army type "Seek and Destroy". I thought since no one had yet, i'd bring it over here for all of you to see. I PMed Ominus40 on the WK froums and he said it was ok, as long as I gave him the credit. So without further adue, here is the new army type, quoted from his thread.

Quoted directly from Ominus40's post/thread on this:

"New army type: Seek and Destroy
This army type in shortened form is SaD. All rights reserved by me. (C)

Well i'm sitting here thinking about our army types:

Swarms
Faction Pure
Orc 'Shotguns'
Calvery army
Stealth/Ghostform
Powerhouse (uniques very few with lots of stuff equipted)
etc.

And i'm listening to Metallica at the same time. The song 'Seek and Destroy' good song. I wanted to make a new army type so here it is:

Crox r/ OK Desert Warbird w/ Ranger's Plate
DR#006 ** Prieskan Warrior
DR#038 ** Orc Wolfkin
* Harka Orc
*** Orc Marauder
DR#022Freeholder Sorceress
** War Priestess

Domains: Wyldan Forest, Grasslands, River Valley, Storm Gale

I decided to make it out of figures I have but here's it's basis:

Strong figures that can move fast, Horseshoe speed type or figures with Path Finder and domains that create Hindering/Concealing/Water terrain. Figures with Infiltrate or Submerge, figures with Ghostform or Stealth, or Lurk. These figures must be strong and efficent. Healers are great to have in this army type. The Seek part is the fast moving or Path Finder figures, or Infiltrate/Submerge. At least one Calvery unit is suggested. Knowing most people a Revenent figure would be great, but I only have one and it's 40 points so i'm not using it. Flying figures would help too, but I didn't use them because of how my army works. Destroy could be powerhouse Calvery unit, Orcs, strong Infiltrate/Submerge figures, lond distance Bounders (goes for Seek as well), Imperial Legion figures for capturing and eliminating fast. There are many things to use with this new army type.

Hope this brings new strategies and armies to venue's everywhere, post your thoughts on this please, thanks."

Well there you have it, the new army type. Post thoughts here, or on the WK forums. Hope this will be a big sucess for all the amry hounds out there.

No offense meant to 'the' or Ominus40, but this doesn't really seem that revolutionary to me. All this is is using superior speed to take out the enemy, whether it be instantaneous(submerged) or via horseshoe type double-timing, or pathfinder, all this is doing is being faster than your opponent.

But again, this isn't new. Using submerged and temanor's wrath is something that's been talked about a lot on these boards, and that combo does a better job then the entire army Ominus40 created.

I'm just slightly underwhelmed is all.

Yes, this doesn't seem to be very well thought-out.

You see, a theme army will generally fall into one of the archetypes already set by the MK community.

For example:
My Interceptor Army

*** Flame Priestess
Draconum Sky Dragon
** Crystal Protector
+ Buttloads of Vengeful Ghosts

The point I had in mind with the army was simply to tie up opposing figures with my high-move Vengeful Ghosts (20-22 inch double-time) and pick them off at leisure with my Flame Priestess, C/MC-ing and Mage Blasting. But, with the sheer number of Ghosts I'd have, it would fall under the "Swarm" classification, thus not really be considered a new idea.

i agree, nothing new here. Wouldnt u want to use flight if u did use this? dosnt make sense to me witht he whole no flight thing.

I also agree, the army does not seem to be focused. Speedy hard hitting figures are nothing new.

agreed, nothing new here

Don't shoot the messenger, I was just helping him introduce a new army aspect, maybe i'll tell him to revise it.

We are not trying to be hard on you. Many of us have been playing for awhile and we have seen these strategies before. Please do not take offense. Try to work out on the strategy a little more, get it more focused.
