Humansquish Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 In the Small World strip in Casket Works 18? Gragg makes a super warrior who promptly dies in the first activation. This got me wondering how high a point cost figure I could make with my faction so I give you my Uber Witch Queen. Witch Queen 148 Greater Magical Weapon 115 Greater Magical Armor 30 Greater Magical Empowerment 45 --No extra MAV for this though Lesser Magical Protection 15 Greater Movement 60 Firestorm*4 300 Bolt 20 Divine Protection 10 Total cost 743 I could have made her cost a little bit more, but this setup makes for a nice 750 point army.

Reaperbryan Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 1 tiny problem. To be legal, Ms. Queen must be fielded with at least 2 other, non-elite models. Maybe go freelance and take 2 15pt goblins? that's only 773. Or see what you can do with the Dwarf Warlord - who starts with 411 pts, can take GMW and Greater Accuracy, Greater Armor, Movement upgrade, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humansquish Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Crap I forgot about that. I'll have to juggle things around. I think that Ashkrypt could also reach a high point cost. I'll have to make some lists when I'm not too lazy to shuffle around numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade in the Bolt for an Ice Shard, add Goblin, and it's a 750 point army... PS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperbryan Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 You're right, Storminator. 748 pts, Witchie and 1 Gobbo. And I bet she dies mighty fast versus any army in the box sets . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matsumoto Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 if you wanna make the most cost list, the dwarf might be the way, but spells are expensive, hehehe!!! i would take 6 fireballs over 4 firestorms. more hammerage in the long run. or 5 fireballs + 1 firestorm. she can do it! if you WANT TO MAKE IT WORK: you need to pick the spellcaster withthe most wounds, then max them out, give them a familiar, and prepare to beat butt. you also ned to diversify the spells you take, all fireballs and it's gonna be fuggly when you need to kick the heroes.... as much as i hate the crossdresser, ashkrypt may be the pick, wer et not for TWC's 3/14...

Add Magical Protection, familiar, and change spells to Firestorm*2 Fireball*4 and the max total is 828. Ashkrypt 165 Greater Magical Weapon 115 Greater Magical Armor 30 Magical Protection 30 Greater Movement 60 Divine Protection 10 Firestorm*4 300 Bondslave*2 32 Total 747 Add Magical Empowerment and a familiar and the max total is 807. Thorgram 411 Greater Magical Weapon 115 Greater Magical Armor 30 Magical Protection 30 Greater Accuracy Upgrade 75 Greater Movement 60 Divine Protection 10 Halberdier 18 Total 749 Orba comes in at 526, Danithal 522, Judas 515, Khufu 701, Khong-to 519, Gerard 684, Varaug 460, Kiakara 489, and Moadin at 793. Using the minimum # of the cheapest grunts for the faction this is the best I could come up with. Looks like the Queen takes the cake. Mmmmmm cake.

And each warlord is as übered up with spells and equipment as you could get them? You have Moandain at 793 - Is that with troops, or alone? Wow! So no matter what, it is impossible to field any known Warlord at greater than 728 pts stand alone???? Huh. Can anybody else find a way to field a lone model by itself, stacked with Spells and Equipment that are non-redundant to greater than 728 pts???

shakhak Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I may have this wrong because i don't have the book in front of me but... Moandain -166 Undying Host * 22 -1650 Grt Magical Wpn -115 Grt Magical Arm -30 Grt Magical Emp -45 Grt Movement -60 Magical Prot -15 Divine Favor -10 BindSould * 10 -20 Chilling Aura -5 So... A total of 2116 + 68 (4 skellies(17 * 4) ) It's a not decent 1500 point game anymore with an army at: 2184 Edited as Jonny suggested.

A total of 1366 + 68 (4 skellies(17 * 4) ) It's a decent 1500 point game with an army at: 1434 10 bindstones mean 10 more levels of spells, so throw 10 more undying hosts on there.

Reaperbryan Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 A 5 model 1500 pt troop, 1366 of that is Moandain. Since Stormiantor has a contest for who can come up with a 1,000 pt single troop, How about if I ask for a Special Game involving the 1,000 single model. Any model is elligible - we'll Scenario in special troop contruction rules. 1) 1 model only. Any model, just only 1. Could be Warlord, Captain, Sergeant, etc. No Beasts, because they don't get Equipment. 2) no redundant equipment (don't put lesser Armor and Greater armor). If it doesn't stack, just take 1 or the other. 3) must be between 990-1010 points (1000 points, give or take 10 points) Post an Uber Soldier, and let's see who can beat who in a fight!
