This isn't an army that I'm certain I'll use in a real event unless I test it extremelt well, but so far it seems to be A: better than it looks, and B: INSANELY ANNOYING TO PLAY AGAINST. It is all madness. Spellbound Scissors x3 Relentless Eviscerator x3 Asylum Escapee Doctor Ape Nevret Screamtrooper Gun-Possessed Killer Book of Nothing Jack in the Box Iron Thug Malborn Croc Chrysalis Spinner Windborne Blademaster Pro: 1. Nothing will ever die. Seven of your figures come back from the dead, two of them can bring back dead figures, and several of the rest have incredibly high life. Sure, they get disrupted or banished, but these things WILL NOT DIE. In a battle of attrition, your opponent is guaranteed to run out first. 2. Good synergy among the minis. An example would be pairing the Book of Nothing with the Iron Thug, Windborne Blademaster, Jack-in-the-box, or a combination thereof. 3. Lots of cheap and medium minis. Although there are plenty of expensive figures, a huge chunk of the army is in the 2-6 range. 4. Lots of power. Comparatively speaking, you can do a lot of damage with this army. Plenty of figures have power ratings of four and above. This compensates for the 1 and 2-power figures. Con:
1. Very few bonus spawn points, if any. Because nobody dies, it will be harder for you to spawn characters like the Windborne Blademaster. Get used to using and re-using that Jack-in-the-Box. 2. No movement abilities. This is big, and probably the army's biggest drawback. movement will be slow, and although your opponent can't get rid of you, they can slow you down. 3. Lots of bad abilities. There are two "bad" blade abilities and one mini with Fade. You're going to have to get the hang of using them. 4. "Complicated" minis. You are going to have to know how to get the best out of figures like your lone Doctor Ape or Asylum Escapee to get the most out of this army. Beware. So there you go. What do you think? Annoying as heck to fight? My "regular" army has beaten it two out of three times that I've tested it, but only two tests isn't saying much. |
