Here is a little something I threw together for a game this weekend:

Regal Skymage*
Regal Skymage***
Solonavi Shade*** x 2
Oracle of Rokos*
w/Tome of Shadows
Oracle of Rokos***
w/Obsidian Codex
Psychic Reflection
Disenchant
Archer's Aim
Cobra's Bite

My idea is to do a lot of Mind Tap having Shades Mind Tap Charge and Oracles Mind Tap Bound.

Don't know how it will work out but I think it's going to be fun.

Any comments?

i think your attack ratings are too low. you don't have any heavy hitters. i would add some figs with an 11+ attack rating so that i would be more able to deal with uniques.

I would also include a fig with quickness as it will allow you to move all your solonavis at first turn.

I also feel that it would be important to have a fig with healing or magic healing or vampirism to help your shades and oracles.

Well actually I am hoping to use a lot of gang-up to boost attack values.

Also I play in a healer heavy environment. I shouldn't have any problem with healing. Just Mind Tap my opponents healer to heal my figure.

Player 1: and my Varatrix does 5 damage to your Regal Skymage. BOOYAH
Me: Okay My turn. My Oracle of Rokos Mind Taps your Blood Shaman Magical Healing. Uses Magical Healing on Regal Skymage. Roll a Critical Hit. Roll a 4 for Healing. Heal Regal Skymage for 5 clicks. BOOYAH back at you.

Heh Heh it's all in fun anyway...

a few things, I'd down grade the *** oracle w/Obsideon to a * Oracle w/Codex of Light and also, critical hits don't increase healing and you can't heal a unit in base with an opposing unit. I'd also modify the spell book with spirti bind that way should you go against a big unique you can attempt Sprit Bind and trade your 40 point Oracle for a 100+ Unique. One more thing, don't rely to heavly on gang-up becaue of the popularity of Kem Ravenbane and the *** Cult Enforcer with their Bedlum Sub-faction ability which projects a 10" gang-up free radius around them.

-gaunt

Well I am the only one with any of the Sorcery Apocalypse figures here so I don't have to worry about bedlam. I thought it was a 10" diameter circle, 10" radius would be 20" diameter or almost 25% of the table.

If I downgrade the Oracle I can't have all the spells I want to have. Unfortunately I don't have Spirit Bind.

Also only your shades can add or receive help from gang up. Also you can't use gang up at range anyway so your 60 point mind tapping bound figure with 9 attack is going to have a hard time finding figures with a low enough defense to attack.

that's not true... AgainstMe...

it was ruled upon that only sword types can provide gang up, but the primary attacker may be of any attack type.


Incidentally, you cannot heal the skymage if you can't break away.

And why would your opponent attack the skymage anyway? i would probably attack the oracles instead.

And why are you using tome of shadow? just asking

just some notes: critical hits DO increase healing, read the rulebook. Sword attack type peole use gang up to assist others, those others can have any attack type.

Other than that, the archer's aim and cobra's bite are nasty for this oracle of rokos sfa army.

sfa army?

Actually I ended up making a slight modification before the tourney. A friend traded me a Book of Mists right after I arrived. (he had just pulled 2 in the same pack)

Regal Skymage*
Regal Skymage***
Solonavi Shade*** x 2
Oracle of Rokos*
w/Book of Mists
Archers's Aim x 2
Cobra's Bite x 2
Oracle of Rokos***
w/Obsidian Codex
Psychic Reflection
Disenchant
Archer's Aim
Cobra's Bite

It did really well until I ran into Chroma with Magestone Shield and Magestone Bracers. I knocked out his other figures (a Magna Champ** and Drakor) and then knocked her down to the Parry/Dodge click and couldn't hit after that.
She just kept dodging. Should have left Drakor on the Table and Mind Tapped his Venom and hit her with autodamage. Yeah should have took her out first.
