1. My All Magic item army.
This army was so bad that the it was ruled illegal and the rules were changed to make it illegal.
2. My All Kings' Die Army.
Although a late entry,
it was officially entered and then erased,
after realizing it was illegal.
3. piMaster's army |

You're right Jim, that army doesn't meet standard army construction rules. The contenders post has be edited to reflect this.

I thought my army was under appreciated but my votes still stand. I should have chosen a different race, the point was lack of saves but in all honesty, if you horded the corals up in that set up they would almost be half way decent at missile dmg and in definitely they have good moves. If someone took that setup and gave them a coastlands, the army is actually playable.... Sad face.....
Good job guys, I dunno if its possible to make a worse setup then the 100% saves crew with the 2 for 1 loss ratio.
Off topic, is there a decent way to play those guys, I mean at all? maybe not even 18 pts. but I bought a few and I cant even feild them on faith. |

Apparently, no one is familiar with the Centaurs. They have no saves at all except the ID. They have no magic except the ID. In the Swamplands, Amazons cannot use their racial ability. They also cannot get any resurrection magic (no green or gold resurrection spells). They are great at melee if they strike first. If you hit them first, they just die. _________________ You can never have too many dice.

I did think about voting for the centaurs,
but I did not want to use genocide as a voting factor.
(All dice are playable)
pi's is also closer to my concepts...
and killing the 4 monsters...each one carries a color,
so the king might not even get a chance to roll. |

- DialFforFunky - that army generates almost nothing except saves. any other army should be able to get two 8s.
- piMaster - the Kings' Die effectively reduces the army to 32 health, you've only got eight dice to do anything with, and for each unit you loose you also loose an artifact. Shouldn't be too difficult for an army to either outmaneuver it or kill it.
- dburkley - similar to DialF's except Dan's army concentrates on maneuvers.

Just a reminder that the voting window will close soon.
Jim, you'll need to edit your vote as two of the three aren't on the contender's list. |

As I see it...
if my army which is still legal for the Worlds,
is deemed so terrible that rules needed to be edited to make it illegal,
and so afraid to include it in voting,
in which there was no guarantee people would vote it the worst....
then it must be the worst army ever. |

The voting window is closed, and the winners have be tabulated.
1st place goes to DialFforFunky's army
2nd place goes to dburkley's army
3rd place was a tie between cliffwiggs' and piMaster's armies
Honorable mention goes to Jim for coming up with the worst possible army anyone could possibly bring to a tournament (because an all item army automatically looses as soon as the game begins). |

For this format the armies are usually divied up randomly (besides, there was a tie for 3rd, so who would get to pick first?).
I'd say have some outside person randomly assign the armies. |

Yay! I got the army I was hoping for! Nice! Not only that, but it also includes the greatest amount of dice I actually have in my collection. I'll only need to proxy some artifacts and that ugly feral thing...
