| | What would be the best use of the Trumpet Archon in the current meta? Any good 200 or 500 point armies come to mind? | |
Your outfit might not be a crime against humanity, but it is at least a misdemeanor | |

| | She's too pricey for 200, but she can work in 500. She's a 'tweener. | |

And the plastic is so soft, it will be leff painful to get impaled on it, if you happen to run someone over! Its a win-wind deal!
Sersiously speaking, it has uses in epic. But with LGs new direction of Titan-Epics its hard to fit one into most warbands. Theres just too many better choices. | |

| I dont know if it even has a spot in epic. Its ability to allow commander effects from anyone in line of sight becomes a lot less usefull. Most commander effects give you bonuses to attack or damage, but when your already swining at + 20 or so and hitting for 35 or so then that bonus because a lot smaller percentage wise. I'd rather spend the 128 points on something else, an Epic Justicator is only 20 points more or so. The only commmander effect that comes to mind that would really give a nice bonus to have an increased range would be the couatl.
I have yet to see him successful in a 200 pt band, but I also cant remember ever seeing him used in a 200 match. He is a fun looking piece and powerful, maybe just a little over costed though. | |

| The Trumpet Archon will anchor the LG side of my 20,000 point, good vs. evil battle against my friend - spreading all those nice cfx around that raise AC, protect from energy, and increase damage output. He gets 10,000 pts of LE and CE, I get 10,000 pts each of LG and CG. LG will hold the front with fearless, ultra-high AC pieces (via legions shield of faith and Dwarven Defender's cfx). CG will be ranged support with 5-10 Nentyar Hunters commanding a bunch of Storm Giants, HEBI's, and epic Storm Archers to "fire at will".
Of course, his Rakshasas will steal my commander effects, but they won't do the evil side as much good.
One funny aside, after the first round, his CE team will have an initiative bonus of somewhere around +100 after his Tiamats have done their dirty work cleaning house on my Men-at-Arms and Human Commoners. Talk about Red Tide. | |

| IME, She is a very solid piece in 500.
She's a little light for a 500 point beater figure but is still competitive and has useful synergies and tech (in Trumpet's Peal). Good attack bonuses for 20 magic (easily boostable to 25 magic with the half-orc) are about what it takes. Giving Rikka, herself, and all your other figures the half-orc's +5 damage and the coatl's energy resistance even when they're not within six squares, however, is money.

| | I love this mini but must to admit she,s completely useless in 200 points and very dangerous to use in epic play because it,s an overcosted mini for its power.Herald ability is not so powerful for its cost.I never have seen competitive play with her. | |
LOVE THIS GIRL | |
