...what would you play?

Hero-scape!!!!:D

in austria we will play our little nats06 in july for our own. with mk, not heroscape ;-)

i cant tell u now what i will play, too early, but i am seriously considering a combined arms. since releases of omens and nexus the game is well rounded again i think.

omens brought the champs, and most important, cheap magespawn harrassers like grimlin or blackwings. nexus gave us a good protion of mid-cost beatsticks like centaur champ or geddion longblade.

though there are more options, i think a very strong army-build will be the deathseekers/darkmarch/summon-army as often described here on the board.

i dont think we will see much of the center-pieced-armies anymore like vitzh as in the past

and as always, its a question of the metagame in ur area.

Well, I wish the Nat's did come to good old Colorado!

If it did I would probably play...

1.) MK
2.) Warhammer 40k (I'm a sci-fi fan)
3.) Mechwarrior

Whoops, lol, sorry guys. I meant what armies :p

Never been to Nat's, but I'd prolly be bringing a faction-pure Elemental Freeholds army and I'd be packing the "Pyresphere" spell. I can't stand Deathspeakers or Summon engines. They just seem kinda cheap.

After some thought (and a little perusing through my collection) I've come up w/ just such an army:

Lady Rowan w/ Tome of brass 75+33= 108 pts.

-Mending Touch

-Pyresphere

-Ritual of Transformation (Pyre Spirit)


Councillor Laurell 92 pts.


Gora Stormblade (a) 41 pts.


2x *Centaur Shaman 2x29= 58 pts.



Total= 299 pts.




I call this army "Pyre-side Vigilance". What do you think?

For a faction pure army, I like. I think, however, that you're too focused on range though. I don't think you need both Laurel and Rowan. As it is, anything with GF need only rip through a sub-par Gora and a pair of Centaurs to basically ensure victory. Off the top of my head, I would take out Laurel and Gora, giving you 134 points to spare. With those points, I would put in a pair of **Centaur Champions, making the army look like this:

Rowan-75
Tome of Brass-33
^Auraheal-8
^Pyresphere-6
^Waterspout-6
^Disbelieve-4

**Centaur Champion-66
**Centaur Champion-66

*Centaur Shaman-29
*Centaur Shaman-29

I changed the Spellbook, making it a little more offensive. I think this one is a bit faster and hits a bit harder, while keeping generally the same flavor. Just my $0.02, but I like all versions of the army.

I owuld probably run some version of CA as well, probably centered around Heddravalis:

Heddravalis-113
Cloak of Shadows-8

Nepheara Pike-41
PoD-6
**EF Stag-47

*Tempest Priest-29
Apprentice Folio-12
^Auraheal-8

*Zombie Centaur-24
***Grimlin-18

Pretty basic, but I think it would work.

Great suggestion on using **Centaur Champions. However, when I list armies, I (usually) only list figures and relics/spells that I own. Even after opening a full case of Nexus plus a couple more boosters, I wound up with NO Cen-Champs (or Medics). Funny thing, though, is I got 3 Heddys and 4 Tyrsises. Anyone fell like tradin' :D

I got a case of Nexus, but got only one Centaur Champ, but got 6 Medics, and no Heddy, so I had to pay another 12 dollars to get one off eBay. >:(

I know the feeling. I had to pay $10 online for my one. But I find in the armies they can be pretty easily replaced by some riders on EF Stags. I like Pike the best, but if you wanna stay EF pure, I'd recommend ***River Chargers.

nice thread gonna post my army soon.

I´d go with:

Jadreen 73
w/ Bracers of the Archer 18
w/ Scroll of Invocation 5
** Pyre Spirit 70
w/ PoD 6
** Dwarven Runelord 36
w/ Tome of Brass 33
- Fumble 6
- Disbelieve 4
- Disbelieve 4
- Forge Relic 10
* Shyft Summoner 46
* Grimlin 10
* Grimlin 10
* Grimlin 10
Marauder Gishki (a) 8

Total = 300 (actually is 325, but minus 25 from Forge Relic)

Locoghould, props on the double Disbelieves. Definitely a must for and good recursion army. Personally I would dump Gishiki and the Bracers of the Archer, and throw in a **Blackwing, so that would could have some bit of harassment against some soaring monstrosities, like Heddravalis or a Sky Dragon with a ranged rider.

Anyone else? I'm really curious as to what the major archetypes would be now that MK is fully developed...
