Hi all,

After two test-games with a single core from a friend I splurged and ordered 2 core sets.

These arrived today.

Tomorrow he is going to come over and we pool our forces obviously.

Any suggestions for us newbs what you can do with 3x core? Fair, fun and balanced?

We aim at 200 pts.

Put everything on the table, toss the round counter, last surviving thing wins.

Take the extra Human hero model - WhatsHerFaceTheElfLady - and see if you can find a way to mount just the bottom half sticking out the mouth of a carrion lancer.

Then play a 200 point game. Undead should embrace their tarpit reanimates and the archers and human their cavalry

Daquan, hero, 2 golems, one golem as siege upgrade in a 9 tray infantry and rest Calvary.

Waiqar hero, 1 worm, 2 worms in 6 tray infantries X2, then rest archers.

I only heva one core, but if I had three, that would be the first lineup to see how it played.

Be aware that, imo, Waiqur have a slight advantage at this level, if Daqan play into their hands. Blight/lancer/Ardus will wreck Daqan and nerf them down to the offensive power of a gerbil. Daqan will have to leverage cavalry and their initiative advantage to stand a chance (e.g. archers fire at 5, spearmen can move a distance of 4 at 7, then next round close distance and melee before archers have had a chance to shoot them).

Kari is very important for scoring damage on Ardus early, so he can be taken down; if he's alive towards the end game, and mixing it up in melee with lots of blight tokens, daqan are in serious trouble. Try and keep her for ranged attacks, where her surge ability can clean whole trays of archers.

Her surge ability doesn't work with ranged attacks, it is only available when making an melee attacks.

D'oh! Thanks WWHSD, I got it in reverse. That'll teach me for trying to say something coherent at 7am.
