| This is a good question, he is a hard mini to use and in the wrong band is almost useless.
Artemis needs strong flasking buddys. but i dont yet have a band for him my self :( | |
Poor student looking for minis =D | |

| One band i used that did fairly well was:
Raksasha 41pts
Artemis Entreri 89pts
Green Dragon 28pts
Duergar Champion 33pts
Warrior Skeleton x2 6pts
Goblin Skirmisher 3pts
I really like playng it and i'm going to use this build and variants to get more practiced with artemis, since he's fairly difficult and semi-squishy for his point cost. eh, i'll post this band in a sec since this isn't MY topic :) | |

Thats not bad, I think its got alot of useful things for it, durable commander with good rating, durable flankers, max activations. Bigbys to go for extra damage. | |

| | Thx aesoph. I have a question though. If a creature is paralyzed by raksashas spell, doe she get double dmg AND his sneak attack even if he's not flanking? Does the same go for stun? n00b Question: My friends and i had a discussion about how the stun effects work. What are the effects of stun? heh, we never bothered to consort it in the rule book. | |

Artemis would get to sneak attack if the target is stunned, helpless, or unable to see him. Stun basically makes a target skip an activation. They use that activation to become unstunned. Stunned targets are not helpless though.
That Artemis band has some nice things going for it. I tend to treat Arty a little like an Archmage. With so many points tied to one mini, I like to out-activate my opponent. In LE that is easy to do with Snig, so I like to wait the opening to where I can use both of Arty's activations after my opponent has gone. Maybe not the best way to go but some food for thought. | |

| I've been toying with a 500 point Artemis band for the last couple of days and right now it looks something like this:
Artemis Entreri (epic) 215
Dark Naga 41
Snig the Axe 20
Thaskor 86
Beholder 83
Xorn x2 48
Azer Raider 5
498 points. 8 minis + 3 Minions from Snig
I have 11 minis on the board thanks to Snig and the Beholder's dual activation ensures that I will be able to out-activate my opponent and that I can use Artemis's activations exactly when I want to, most likely after my opponent as used up all of his activations. The Dark Naga is very flexable. He can either hang back with the Beholder to boost all of his eye rays to DC 19 (very scary!) or he can move up and support Artemis or Thaskor with Slapping Hands, or he can do a bit of damage on his own with his Lightning bolts. The only thing I will have to be careful of is if I'm going to use his spells I have to make sure he's out of sight from the Beholder, but I'm willing to take that risk.
The Xorns will play the part as Artemis's flanking buddies. The Azer is there because I only had space for 1 mini and right now he's the best single piece that costs 7 points or less...but if I can think of something better he can be swapped out.

| My band would be :-
Raksasha 41pts
Artemis Entreri 89pts
Green Dragon 28pts
Ghostly Consort 35pts
Kobold miner x2 6pts
7 activations. A fun band variant.
Any advise appreciated. | |

| OK this band tested alright:
Artemis 89
Helmed Horror 45
Uthrok 34
Snig + skirmishlets 20
3xGoblin skirmisher 9
kobold miner 3
Helmed horror and Artemis pwned a Balor utterly (ranged backstab, moved to within one square of flanking position, then for activation 2 sidestepped in and dealt out 30 damage; Balor decided that enough was enough and ran away (ironically, this is almost identical to what happened to me at the prerelease). | |
