Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2007 12:59 pm GMT Post subject: Another 36 h Quasi-Single Race Challenge |
|
|
Okay, I have a concept army I want to try out!
So, 36 h, single race + items + promos [1-3 say, not Scott's army Jim is using....eeeek!], 50 % magic value or less. The allowance of promos, such as Eldarim is the reason for the "Quasi-" in the subject.
Multiple player is fine, but I'd prefer only 2-4 people total.
I propose the optional rule of a +1 result bonus [limited to the same type of result of course] to 2h and 3h items (if you don't like this, but want to play anyway, I can do without it, just let me know)
As soon as I got a response(s) I'll post up my army, entitled: "Doom Missile" (which should give you a hint where this one is going.... )
-Thanks,
Jason |

Single Race? Did someone say Single Race?
Well, it's not the same format as the tournament Single Race, but I'll give it a go since no one else seems interested.
Give me a day or so to build an army.
As far as the ghost points on the magical items, I would vote no. _________________ "Everything Brad said is correct." - Chuck Pint |

LOL! Yep, close at least as I mentioned. I didn't think I could pull this off as well without the caveats as you'll probably see as soon as I post the army.
Fine on the no ghost bonus to items, they are as they stand then. It just makes a small difference in my construction in terms of proportions.
I'll post my army up when I get home this evening, just to make sure I don't screw up the details by relying on my memory.
Unless anyone else wants in soon, it looks like this'll be a rematch as well

Wow! I can't believe I forgot that part. Sure why not, I wanted to bend the extent of "single-race" alittle, so taking that logic to its natural conclusion means: dragonkin and minors as well. I'll add them to my army when I post it as well.

Thaumaturgist
3 Theurgist

Mamoth Rider
Lizard Rider

Thaumaturgist
4 Theurgist
Summoning Pool:

Here it is: "Doom Missile" ( homage to Earthdawn baby ):
Horde:
4 x Wraith
4 x Skeleton
Spectre
4 x Trueflyer (black)
Trebuchet (black)
Campaign: Proposed -> Coastland Standing Stones
1 x Skeleton
Home: Swampland Standing Stones
4 x Apparition
Heucava
Lich
Black Dragonmaster
Silver Medallion
Pool:
Ivory Wyrm and Black Wyrm
1 ea Bridge
All black Dragonkin: 3 x Dragonfoal, Dragonmount, Dragonsteed, DKC
So....we'll see how my Undead Missile army does (which needs alittle help, hence the loosened rules)
Ouch! this could hurt against Dwarves......oh well, I'm sticking with what I planned ( unless you had wanted the ghost bonus, then I would have Eyebitered it, was that a set-up? )
Since that's up, here's my horde roll:
3 Maneuver (wow, that stunk...)
Wraith: 1 ID; Skeletons: 1 Move, 1 ID |

Set up? No, but you had already announced that you had a missile army with items in it. If I had really wanted to shut your missile army down, I would have brought Scalders. However, I brought Dwarves because I haven't played them in long time (years perhaps).
Horde roll: 3 Trample, 4 points of ID, and 2 maneuver icons. 9 maneuver results total. I'll go first, so you get to choose the frontier. |

I was kidding, I figured you hadn't, but thought it ironic after the items question. Anyway, I'll take my Coastland Standing Stones.
My Home: Swamp S.S.: 7 --turn down to--> 6 Melee
Frontier: Coast S.S.: 4 Missile
You're up! |

LOL! Quite funny, but I'm sorry to have earned it the hard way...d4 can be deadly...
(in an RPG with exploding dice [rerolling max], I once did 34 damage with a single torch [d4 dmg w/ my mage] )
My whole horde army except the Spectre goes into the reserves taking all the items into reserves with them. (still at your home: 1 x Spectre)
Your turn... |
