Marcu feels like the MVP here for sure - 20 points well spent to stall that side of the board, giving Q10 all the time he needed to blast the other flank. Would be interesting to see the Samurai team up with a long-range threat, forcing the enemy to approach and face the counterstrike counterpunch
All it would have taken was one bad dice roll with Marcu and this game could have gone a completely different way. Rowan actually really liked this "counterstrike counterpunch" idea, might be a fun army to try out. Wouldn't mind hearing what else you would put in that army. - Adam
@@hexhalla It kinda depends on what models you have available, though an easy "core" would be Kravs and Kaemon Awa. Fill the rest with whatever fits neatly into the point total, with minimal points left over. I'd be looking at Nakita Agents, Phantom Knights, RotV Raelin (counterstrike and stealth dodge love a defense buff), Tagawa Samurai, Kozuke Samurai (though they're high-risk-high-reward), Tagawa Samurai Archers, Syvarris, Sharwin Wildborn (ONLY when paired with Raelin), and Q10. Marro Warriors, Eldgrim, Guilty McCreech, or Isamu are possible filler options, but you wouldn't want more than one of em. Izumi Samurai are also fine, but they tend to underwhelm in my experience. They exist to wall off choke points and tie things into engagement - they are NOT for killing. Of these, I personally recommend Phantom Knights the most, as they're also a reliable fallback option if the army's gimmick fails. But I understand Rowan's not a fan of commons lol
The Major "Cutie" (love it!) move was fine. He would have fit just fine at the end of the ruin if he had to stop movement (ignoring the issue of the terrain being unlevel so he can't stop movement there). I also love the commitment to Marcu in these videos. Provides some drama with every activation!
That's good to know! I feel like I am unprepared for the tournament side of HeroScape, and with Gencon, and Scapecon coming up I don't want to look like a fool. Also I feel like Marcu and Isamu are always picks for our armies. I do love talking about him loving or hating us. - Adam
@@hexhalla don't worry about the tournaments. The scape competitive community is unmatched in how awesome/chill they are. Yes, you will probably face a high level of play certain rounds and you can't expect a taksie backsie for a mistake you made (although you may be offered one) but you won't be playing jerks or cheaters.
I think that is what I am trying to hint at. We are looking for signs that there might be new abilities coming, and I feel like that wording is one of them. - Adam
I thought that the video was well done, and their learn to play was excellent as well. I wish they had a 45 degree shot of the board and figures, as with the top down you lose a lot of the height. - Adam

wow! I love the map!
Yeah, a lot of the Heroscape map making has done a great job providing maps like these.
YOU ARE BOTH AWESOME! ❤❤❤
That means a lot to us! Thank you for your kind words and support of this channel.

Also I think Mielkis wording was changed in case there's ever a unit that grants other units special attacks

Matt Mercers got nothing on you guys ( well, except a cool background ...)

This might be dumb but where did you get those dice
They are the dice that come with the flag bearers!
