no bomb-ombs?

Dude, a couple of Plumbers'll WRECK that list. Seriously. Did you even TRY?

>Waaaaaaaauuuuugggghhhhhh!

Dry Bones are an Elites choice now? The new codex is such a nerf for Koopa armies.

The Paratroopas are honestly kindof a waste. I'd say go with Boos instead, plus a Giant Boo. Sure, they have facing problems, but they're easier to model and have better Initiative.

30 Goombas? Hope you like painting Mushroom Brown for hours on end.

>>2217000

Hey, hey. Put your Koopa King in with them, and their high toughness and "we'll be back" rolls virtually garuntees you'll get your boss into CC.

I was thinking bob-ombs, but every time I use them they end up exploding in the middle of my own army >.<

Think I should make room for a Magikoopa HQ?

>>2216985
No MagiKoopa? I know their magic is a bit weird but it helps a lot.
Also you need more Hammer Bro's. They are great.


>>2216992
Damn Plumbers armies have always been over powered like that.
Not like the Toads though with their massive numbers and weak weapons.

>>2217020
Magikoopas are too unreliable.

I demand this game be made now.

>>2217020

Magikoopa could work, what with that unbeatable range, but your opponent WILL try to take it out first. I'd mix the Magikoopa in with the Dry Bones for meat (bone?) shields and attach your Koopa King to one of the Hammer Bros. squads. Also, swap out the Chain Chomp for a Pirana Plant, the Chomp is overpriced.

Have you seen the new Mushroom Kingdom codex?

Their named character unit (I forget the name, those brothers) would take out like half of those goombas in a single turn, maybe more if they use the Troopas first with their Shell Kick ability.

Sure their cheap, but Goombas are really only good for tangling up Toad units or maybe Shyguys.

>>2217037

That's what I was forgetting! You need Shyguy mercenaries in there instead of Goombas.

Also, you might want to consider a Birdo squad under Heavy Support when you bump this army up to 2,000pts.

There is a lack of Koopa Children in there, sir.

I suggest you fix that, before someone uses a Yoshi based army.

Looks good, but the thing with Koopa Kings is that they're so slow, you have to rely on the enemy coming to you. You definitely want to use the The Princess is MINE! special rule to get enemy forces into CC range.

Alternatively, you could just give your King an Airship, but that'd be a lot of points sunk into HQ for an army this size.

Hammer Bros. are only really good with a full Bros compliment, headed up by a Sledge Bros, and with a some Bullet Bill spam.

Go for Birdos instead. Better range.

Replace Thwomp with 2 Chargin Chucks.

Chargin Chucks are unbelievably versatile, sure they can die form volumes of fireballs but they are extremely good in CC and carry a football kick attack with a wide blast radius.

>>2217051
I'm sick of people splishing in too many Subcon mercs. Why don't they just play a Wart army?

I prefer straight Koopa army.

Don't even get me started on that fucking Subspace Emissary shit they just announced. Like I need a whole new faction to buy and paint. I've still got like 500 pts worth of yoshis still in box that I need to do.

Piranha Plants where the shit's at.

Massive range, able to hide when not firing, and spiky as hell.

Not even the SUPER-POWERED Mushroom bros. can take them on without upgrades.

>>2217072
screw airships. too expensive and easy to destroy

want you want is a clown car. it only carries your koopa king but you get him into combat so much quicker and counts as an upgrade so they have to target your king specifically

>>2217080
CC's are just SICK! My opponent totally underestimates them, usually going for the Sumo Bros. or Amazing Flying Hammer Bros.

I love getting the lucky roll on their Tackle. Seriously, splitting into three once they get into melee gives them so much versatility, not to mention their 3 wounds and ranged attack.

In the grimdarkness of the Mushroom Kingdom, there is only war.

you might consider throwing in a few Lakitu in with your Paratroopas for some heavy bomber support.

>>2217093
Doesn't that come with a minion toss ability?

>>2217084

Yeah, they're really good against most units. But you get a Mushroom player who knows what he's doing, and all those plants are good for is sitting and watching.

Maybe some Fire Bros. would work better. They're not fielded as much as they should be, and most Mushroom players don't even know how to handle them.

>>2217084
If he starts with the plants, he's gonna need to dump points into pipes to offer some measure of mobility and defense. Otherwise they're gonna be rooted and screwed by one well aimed Shell Kick.

>>2217105
Dude he already has the Lakitu. Its pretty much an autoinclude if you are going RPTs.

Unrelated, but one Mushroom Kingdom thread seems enough...

I just finished painting my first squad. What do you guys think?

>>2217110

That's why you use Red Pirana Plants, which can Deep Strike right out of the ground. They're more expensive than Green Plants, but if you factor in the cost of pipes it balances out.

>>2217082
Subcon got Retconned, it's no longer a dream-world as of 7th ed. Shyguys are part of the Yoshi's Island villain merc selection now. Hell, they're about all you'll see fielded from YI Merc lists in any army that can use them, except the odd YI Merc Pihrana Plant, those things have massive Toughness, well worth the extra points.

>>2217116
whoops didnt notice that.

KOOPAZ IZ MADE FER ROKKIN'!

>>2217122
thin your paints.

>>2217122

Hmmm... Paint job looks good. But, why in the name of the Mush-emperor are you fielding a Kart squad? Sure, they're mobile, but even a basic Goomba'll turn them into sitting ducks.

>>2217122
Whatever you do, don't roll ones.

I saw this one guy in a tournement with a Kuribo's shoe plumber army that would rape the shit out of your list.

Only thing that stopped him was a dedicated Hammer Bros cheese list.

But that was 3rd edition and we all know how broken the wargear plumber list was.

Since we're mentioning going against 'shrooms, how the hell do I deal with this bastard they got? Flying, that goddamn Statue option, tail-whip and can use most of the standard plumber skills.

All those Goombas and no De-Evolution guns? They pretty much are just roadblocks without special weapons.

>>2216985
You're going for a fairly standard Koopa army?

I prefer a more shooty approach. 10 bill blasters in elite choice. And a Banzai Bill Blaster for heavy support.

For Troops choice 20 fat koopas with green shells, and 30 Terra Cotta kompas to act mainly as meatshields and road bumps.

>>2217154

What army do you run?

This thread is now on suptg.

>>2217160
Those things aren't in the current codex. Too unpopular, they completely broke fluff.

>>2217123

Still, a Shroom-player will almost always at least deploy a few Pipes, to avoid the hideous cost of dropping down new units.

Take some Bloopers for any game you play with aquatic units. Ink, Electricity, andthey have a nasty CC attack

I use a bunch of ParaGoombas in my list.
I know they sound like just regular Goombas, but their baby drop attack can be really strong. And after they take a wound they turn into regular goombas rather then just dieing.

And I love my Snifits. Little, moble Bullet Bill launchers they are.

>>2217171

Oh, that's true. They were pretty hip back in the Rogue Plumber era, and my friends and I still play with them. Back when the game took itself so much more realistically.

>>2217162

I dunno. The shooty approach is good unless you're dealing with a jumpy 'shroom army. Then, you might as well field a bridge to your back line with a banner saying "Please, kill us all."

Plus, they'll get bonus units for slaughtering you.

Well yeah, the Mushrooms may seem a bit overpowered, but I find it ridiculous that it's fucking mandatory for any army bigger than 500 pts, to field the Princess.

Seriously, all she ever does is give the Koopas their "Oops! The princess is in another castle"-stealth bonus and the bonus-damage on Koopa King.

>>2217142
I got to be honest, I did it just to have access to blue shells. I play for the sake of seeing kids rage.

>>2217149
Is it really that bad? I thought my Lakitu can just bring them back into play.

>>2217179
Not to mention they have Partial Plumber Immunity, which means that a Mushroom player can't just cheese your entire Blooper squad with one bloody one-turn fireflower (Seriously, they should be removed or nerfed, you only need a fireflower for one turn to wipe shit out!), they gotta take them down fair and square.

Archive this thread! go to
4chanarchive.org/brchive/main.php?mode=submit
2216985
board = Tg

Because this is just pure win

>>2217182

Paragoombas? Are you serious? All they do is flap around for a few turns, before being brutally stomped by anything that can jump higher than five feet (read: the entire Shroom army)

Spiked goombas, now that's pure awesome. Double attack damage, immune to jump attacks, and generally badass!

Have you considered replacing a few of your Koopa Troopas with Buzzy Beetles? They're pretty tough, and only take a few more points.

>>2217202 You must be new here.
the 4chanarchive is not where /tg/ things go.
suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com is the /tg/ archive. Threads are autoarchived after one request, then anyone can vote them up or down. If you want to avoid looking like a tool, delete your post and I'll delete this post, nobody need know you don't know where the /Tabletop Gold/ is kept.

>>2217214

Don't forget that fire immunity. I know, back when I fielded plumber lists, that shit pissed me off fierce.

>>2217202
uhhh, 4chanarchive is fail. suptg has its own archive just for /tg/, newfag.

I just wish this special character wasn't removed from the Koopa codex.

It destroyed plumbers, but then the plumber players were complaining it was too overpowered.

Well, if you're ballsy enough, you could always field The Angry Sun.

Fucking huge point cost, but so worth it.

Ludicrously high defense and evasion, pretty much invincible to anything but a Star-Plumber.

Permanent Flying, giving you unmatched battlefield intel and overviews. Also, the Sun strikes like a fucking fist of an angry god, with a very small dodge-rate.

Too bad many gamers ban The Sun these days, as they don't know how to counter it. (Protip: Just because it's a Sun, doesn't mean it is immune to fire)

>>2217229
>>2217248
angrysunmind

>>2217229
Yeah, I know how it is. Bloody Shrooms get to keep their P-Wing HQ upgrade and Blue Yoshis, pure PURE cheese lists abound using those things.

Oh well, at least I'm not playing a pure Island Yoshi force. One hit on their HQ unit and they all take a Morale penalty until he gets back on his mount, and if you can block it for two turns they lose. Mind-games against them are too easy to use.

>>2217229

>>2217248 here. What, they removed it?

Since when?

>>2217229

The problem wasn't that it destroyed plumberfags. The problem was that they had to dump far more points into Starmen just to have a fighting chance than a Koopa list had to dump on the Angry Suns. And even that wasn't enough 70% of the time. I know the Plumbers are usually overpowered, but balance doesn't include fucking them over completely.

>>2217253
Since they decided to integrate the RPG game fluff into the Mario TTG. COMMENCE BAWWW IT'S NOT TRADITIONAL MARIO ANYMORE.

I've been thinking of starting a new army... anyone know if those new dark plumber HQs are any good? I hear... what's his face... the short fat one, I hear he is good.

I remember back in third edition man, I had this awesome desert themed army with two squads of Boo Diddlys, a thwomp, fire snakes for fast attack (with Lakitu of course). For troops I went with Buzzies and dry bones (they were normal troop choices, instead of OMGNERF elites like they are now). Elites were Fire and Boomerange bros, I took maxed squads because having that much of a firebase meant that I owned that side of the table with ranged attacks. I ran it with Boom Boom with the wing option, although if I dropped the thwomp I could afford the Koopa King in his tank.

Man, good times.

>>2217263

Dark Plumbers are... Well... They're all right, I guess. The main problem with them is that they're highly vulnerable to status effects. Seriously, I've seen games where someone'll drop a Horned Wario (that's the short one), and one round later has to treat it as a Flat Wario. If you're going to play Dark Plumbers, just remember to bring a few Loli Witches into the fray.

Ok, so I've been hearing some rumours about the Seven Stars being an experimental new army in the next ed?

Sounds awesome.

>>2217263 dark plumber HQs
I'd go either Wario or Mr. L.

...Am I the only one who plays Tatanga's Invaders and Black Sugar Pirates?

OP here. Thanks for all the advice with my army. I've retooled it a bit for a larger scale game. This time I'm using the special Character Lemmy Koopa and going with a "Luck 'o the Die" army with a Magikoopa Retinue and as many Bob-ombs as I can put on the field.

Tomorrow I'm playing a Wart list. I'm pretty sure he'll be running the same cheap-ass Fryguy/Ninji army he usually does.. Any advice?

He's pretty good on his own, but the rest of the army is utter crap. Especially that other hero, the thin one. Re-hash of the Green Plumber hero guy, only he sucks. >:P

>>2217278

Projectiles. Lots of them. Don't let him get close to you and pick off his troops from afar. If you have to get up close, try to have as many air units as you can to thwart his Ninjis.

>>2217276
and am I the only one who fields a Yoshi's Crusade Shy Guy army?

Does anybody run Petey Piranha? Given that Koopa King is so good, I hardly every see anybody run him except the little kids that come into the store that don't even know the rules for his barf attack.

Plumberzilla armies are the single worst concept ever, even if they do match fluff in some circumstances they're ridiculous! LOL, I FIELD A WING CAP, TWO METAL CAPS, A PLUMBER HQ WITH FIRE FLOWER AND KURIBO'S SHOE, THREE REGULAR RACCOON PLUMBERS AND A TANOOKI, oh and two toads for the requisite troops choice.

>>2217278
>a Magikoopa Retinue and as many Bob-ombs as I can put on the field

Enjoy losing more guys on your own turn than on the opponent's...

>>2217273
oh god, yes, isn't it beautiful? Geno's fucking INSANE

Albatosses are the shit. Totally worth it to keep Bob-Ombs from blowing up in the middle of your army; pity they're Wart only.

The problem with Geno is that his body is still a puppet, no matter what fluff says.

>>2217305
One lucky set of rolls and a Geno with Whirl can wipe out a whole squad of Goombas and put enough of a dent in a second to make it suck against everything.

>>2217295
Yes. Shy Guys can be takes an Mercenaries in most armies, so you don't have to stick with the useless Shy HQ units but get the awesome Shy Troops and Fast Attack.

>>2217300
petey's flashy, but he's too damn slow, and he doesn't do enough damage for his points cost. I hear he's good in Mario Bowl tho.

Ever since they released those crossover rules for their other systems, I've been thinking of running Space Pirates. They any good?

>>2217301

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, we'll all be BAWWWing when they bring out the Smithy Codex. From what I've seen so far, it's like every one of those fuckers just gets stronger the more you pound them.

FUCK THESE NIGGERS

>>2217301
Goddamn Nintendo stores don't help when they run the demos for the newfags. Yeah! Roll some dice for you pimped out plumber HQ! You hit on 3+ for everything!

They set the 13 year-old kid down with his Plumberzilla of doom and have him slaughter some random squads of troopas, don't even roll for their shell spin.

Of course the kid's gonna walk out with $200 worth of Mushit.

>>2217316
LISTEN TO THIS ANON, AND FIELD SHYGHOULS FTW

well, unless the field that fucking plummer with the anti-ghost weapon... shit is fucking broken...

>>2217320
i dunno, i haven't heard much about them... On a side note, a jerk in my playgroup won't stop spazzing over how good the hyrule army he's working on is gonna turn out. Should I be worried?

>>2217330
Nobody around here even takes boos anymore thanks to that E. Gad fucker.

Mushroom kingdom powercreep is disgusting. So many broken promises with the new edition. I'm looking at you, Dino-piranha! You were supposed to be good!

>>2217333
I hate it when people try to convert the fantasy stuff. Totally different genre.

>>2217333
Worried like a motherfucker should you be. The main tank in the Hyrule set has the widest set of choices for any equipment so far.

>>2217320

Space Pirates? Individual models are way too expensive, plus they only have like one good HQ unit (Ridley).

Me, I'm going with a Gerudo army. Ganondorf is just completely unstoppable without a Master Sword.

>>2217350
Best to do is just rush the fucker with as many Darknuts or Iron Knuckles as possible. Seriously OP how the fucker can deal critical counter-attacks nearly ever time.

>>2217356
Too bad every newfag and their mom have HQ units equipped with Master Sword.

>>2217358
What about that whole Naryu's Wind shit or whatever. He'll just pop up somewhere else on the field and go back to picking everything off with Light Arrows

>>2217350
It's fucking overpriced though. Fully kitted out and with it's mount it can cost as much as an entire army.

Replace a Dry Bones squad with motherfucking Phanto. Once you get that thing on the field it terrorizes the strong enemy units while your troops can rape things.

I'd say drop the Goombas. They're not good for much besides fluffiness. Then you'll have enough for two Koopa Squads with red shells and one with Blue Shells.

Space Pirates? Hylians? Please. What's the one army that gets more support and new models these days than any other?

When the crossover rules become official, the only HQ choice is GARY MOTHERFUCKING OAK.

>>2217368
I've seen it fully equipped, with Mount, and magic bonuses. He took out an army with only his HQ unit and some soldiers. Never played with that fucker again.

>>2217377

100 CHARIZARDS!

>>2217368
except, you know, it can take out a whole fucking army single-handedly. Besides, why bother with the mount? It's cheaper to get that shadow-loli and give him that ridiculous wolf form.

>>2217389
Doesn't that shadow loli give him not only MORE choices for equipment, but also faster speed? Goddamn, who designed this fucker.

this sounds way more fun than any real game

>>2217356
What? Space Pirates? Too expensive? Get the fuck out. They're a bargain for their performance. And you know Kraid's one of the best shooty HQ's out there. Were you trying to CC with him? Get Kung-Fu pirates in your elites and move them near Ridley. You have a CC rape machine.

>>2216985

This isn't a bad list overall but I would shut it down real damn quick by spamming maxed units of Mario Brothers equipped with 3-4 Fireflower per squad.

I've heard rumors they are fielding a new animal unit. Something about hedgehogs are some shit. All I know is that it has MASSIVE movement, and multiple attack chances.

>>2217389
Actually, Darknut and Iron Knuckles are a pretty damn good counter against the wolf-form and that imp-thing. Even with that over-powered dodge rate, he ain't gonna do shit with such low-attack area-of-effects.

>>2217082
Wart has horrible HQs. And Birdos while damaging just can't hold out too well...

>>2217393
I actually had someone field two of the buggers, due to a hole in the rules that doesn't say the 'adult' and 'kid' version aren't mutually exclusive.

>>2217398

agreed

>>2217412
You mean those romours about the Sonic Codex?

Nah, don't count on it. All of the previews I've seen of the were obvious fakes. Just some greenstuffed shit. Until they actually confirm it firsthand, I don't believe that's ever going to happen.

(it's official: we have to homebrew this shit.)

anyway... I know, it's weeaboo and furfag, but I'm actually considering fielding a Starwolf army

>>2217433

Don't even get me started about the rumors about that new unit with Infilitrate.

>>2217436
Don't. They're not that fun to play. All their shit only works against Cornerian players. And even then it fails 90% of the time. They're so horrible it's unfun.

>>2217436
Just don't be one of those cheap fags and use 'DO A BARREL ROLL' every goddamn chance.

>>2217436
Whatever you do, ALWAYS field the entire Starwolf team, it gives massive bonuses. Also, for heavy, don't use the tank like they did last edition, go with the Wolfen.

>>2217452
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Personally I use this and every time I put it on the table no one plays with me.

What am I doing wrong /tg/?

Is my painting that bad?

>>2217465
Unfortunately that particular figure is broken to hell and from an older edition they never bothered to errata.

Also thin your goddamn paints.

>>2217356
>Ganondorf is just completely unstoppable without a Master Sword.

He used to be, maybe. Check the latest version. They nerfed him so hard he's now probably the worst HQ for his cost.

>>2217465
Fuck, thin your paints, goddamn. Looks like a fucking brick.

>>2217486
FUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOOU

>>2217486
This thing alone makes it worth fielding a Ghosts army. Boos are awesome troops and Big Boos are surprisingly good for the cost.

You just gotta use em right. They're hard at first but become awesome later.

My favorite unit.

It's too bad though, that they aren't bringing Gorons back. Those guys we-

>>2217518
Uh oh.

Hey anyone know anything about that set with all the robots? I heard they had a few decent units in there, is it worth using?

>>2217509
Point-for-point, I think Boos are the best basic troops in the game. They're not easy to use, but if you learn to position them well to take advantage of their screwy movement rules they're awesome.

I love you /tg/

I'm thinking about a Popstar army. I heard that the HQs copy ability is pretty sweet. What kind of list would you guys suggest?

EVEN IN DEATH I STILL PLUMB

>>2217526
If you do run with this army, your best bet for an HQ unit is either the Blue Bomber or Dr. Wily. Blue Bomber can use his fallen opponents' equipment, while Dr. Wily comes back every five turns. Incredibly broken, though.

>>2217538

Two words: Not Gordos.

>>2217526

Always equip your HQ with the Metal Blade. ALWAYS!
That shit will rape everything without a high armor save.

>>2217538
Stick in some Bugsy Beetles for Elite Troops, if anything. Also, only use Waddle Dee's if you have too, otherwise, use Waddle Doo's, they only cost a couple points more, and get a ranged beam attack.

>>2217550

Why not gordos? They're powerful and hard to kill?

>>2217566
They can't move unless you use the King for HQ, and even then, he has to throw them personally.

>>2217546
>>2217552
I was thinking of using the Scarf Guy for his WHISTLE! ability. I know he leaves again at the end of the opponent's turn, but I figure if I can pull it off, he'd make for a good surprise.

Oh hi guys i finished a special model for our next apocalypse game session. He's going to wipe those plumbers from the table.

okay, he's my current starwolf army idea:

HQ:
Wolf w/ red fang wolfen

Elites
Panther w/ zapper meltagun
Black Rose wolfen x4

Troops
Cornarian fighter x5 (just because I have to)

Fast Attack
Krystal w/ twin laser and novabomb (thank you, command suppliment!)
cloudrunner squad x10

Heavy Support
Leon w/ multi charge laser and novabomb
Rainbow Deltax2
Wolfen x8

>>2217572
Sure, but if you want the KILL MAIN BURN style of play, go with the Chaos Bomber, with the .EXE equipment. I've used him plenty of times to RAEP many a tourny

>>2217569
The King is grossly underpowered. He is way too slow to make any use of his flying ability.

I'd go with the knight. He's super fast and his retinue can be deadly.

I have never shown even a remote intrest in tabletop gaming until this very thread.

>>2217595
Hope you like the army while it lasts, Krystal's going back to Star Fox and Cornerian forces only in the next edition.

>>2217610
It's what we do.

>>2217600
Eh, I'm not too sure about the .EXE equipment, I heard it was pretty useless in main stream unless you had an HQ with the Cross Fusion ability.

>>2217607
He has some awesome wargear choices, though. That rocket hammer can send enemies flying a full 12", which is great if you want to get them out of CC for your shooty troops surrounding him.

this thread makes me want to buy a rapid prototyping machine and fucking make it a reality. shit, I don't really need to go to college. right?

>>2217611
yeah, i know, that's what has me worried. Pigma's useless, so I'm afraid I might have to convert it to a starwolf/venom army next edition to get Andrew in

>>2217620
I always use Chaos Reploid Swordsmen to back him up. Gets the win, every time. Not to mention a bunch of Sniper Joes.

So, I'm thinking of rolling out an Earthbound army. Which of these do you guys think'll make the best HQ? I'm leaning toward Ness, just because I favor a balance of offense and defense, but I'm also tempted to go for someone with a little more punch.

>>2217276

Those guys haven't had a much-needed Codex upgrade since they came out.

>>2217643
Paula. No question. Her defense may be in the toilet, but her Prayer ability is incredible.

>>2217643
If you take Jeff, prepare to make no friends. BOTTLEROCKETBOTTLEROCKETBOTTLEROCKET

>>2217643
Poo is a serious rapist. Sword of the kings + Starstorm fucks you up.

Jeff has some nice gadgets, but his stats are horrible. He's not even a psyker.

>>2217654
Doesn't Ness get Starstorm in one of the sets? That makes him pretty damn awesome, with that added onto him.

>>2217654
Just equip him with Multi-Rocket and Gaia Ray. Now you have instant rape on your hands.

I love my F-zero army. Fast as hell and when I get my HQ into CC he rapes.

>>2217660

I'm working on a 2nd Era list, so that wouldn't really fit with what I'm going for. Also, is Poo's shapeshifting ability worth the cost? It seems like it'd be rape if you roll lucky.

What, am I the only person who used Lucas back in the day?

>>2217671
If you roll bad, enjoy being a Fobby for the rest of the match

oh god, earthbound had the sickest armies ever... anyone else remember how much grimdark nightmare fuel Giygas was in the fluff?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf6QPlo1OSY

>>2217675

Lucas is all right, from what I've seen. I just haven't really gotten into the 3rd Era fluff, and one of my friends wants to get some games up when we get back to school, so I'd rather stick with what I know/already have models for.

>>2217686
I always fielded Pokey. His Master Manipulator rule was awesome, not to mention the rage of every opponent from just seeing his model.

Koopa is broken. He is way too good for his point cost.

>>2217705
Right until the enemy beats it with an airborne attack and launches the motherfucking shell into the rest of the squad. Deploying Koopas against Shroomunchkins is an artform.

>>2217717
Yeah but his invuln save makes it a bitch. And don't get me started on his wargear.

>>2217600
This guy was the best. got him when he first came out. I still use him with the dog familar. None of the neewb kids know what it means when he stops moving and then take aim at their flying units.
His first model is really hard to find these days though, and the .exe one reqires you to explain the different horizontal plane combat rules (as opposed to the more common vertical plane).
If i want to change things up i throw out the proto reploid with the sheild and then if things get tight i'll activate his chaos taint upgrade and turn him into zero. It's a gamble but on +4 he can overcome sigma virus and turn the tide.

>>2217738
Turn him into Zero? What the hell are you talking about, everyone knows you can only field Zero with either Wily or Dr. Cain HQ. And Wily can only field the berserk Zero, which let me tell you, is a bitch when he starts taking out your guys.

>>2217735
Oh, King Koopa. Thought you meant Koopa Troopas.

>>2217738
Yeah! the familiar rules for reploids are still in effect... even if I'm the only one in town who uses them.

>>2217779
That makes you the biggest badass in town, don't worry.

>>2217758
Sorry. I meant Bowser.

>>2217752
I don't like to e-fight but I use the X series rules. Zero can be used by either side depending on who wins the opening sigma virus roll. the only caveat is that if you use zero on the doctor L side he has to act alone. Not that it matters because in CC it takes an army to bring him down.

Hey guys, should I switch out my Protoman and two Flashmans for a Pharaohman?

>>2217816
too bad all your mini's look gay.

>>2217829
Only use Pharaohman once against each opponent. Once they learn to attack him when he starts to charge then leave his range, you may as well hand them the 150 points at the start of each battle.

>>2217686

Oh, yeah. It's all fun and games...

Right up until half a dozen of these fuckers plop down in the middle of your army and proceed to slaughter EVERYONE.

>>2217816
You do know that Sigma Virus doesn't effect Zero don't you. He's immune to the standard maverick effects, and as Berserk Zero pretty much acts as a neutral piece unless you have Dr. Cain, who's special ability allows fielding of the Hunter Zero. He even lets you take control of a Berserk Zero if your opponent fields it, and you beat it in combat.

>>2217858
FUCK YOU NIGGER, I HATE YOU
I CAN'T HATE YOU ENOUGH TO EVEN BEGIN DESCRIBING THE HATE

>>2217829
yes. Pharaoh man is well worth his point cost... the whole doctor cossak thing may gimp you but in my experience lots of players won't even call you on it if you use wily.
like i said gay minis. but i've actally seen some fuckin badass conversions using pieces from the soccer kit.

>>2217871

Dude, stop raging. I'm with you on this one. Starfags are the main reason I look forward to the crossover rules. I'll take Mr.-10000-abilities from Hyrule over those asshats.

>>2217869
Zero is the fluff origin of the Sigma virus. He became immune to it later in fluff, and is immune in the Grimdark Hunters spinoff games, but the tabletop takes place in a mashup of time periods, ergo the Zero you have statted in the codex is the Cataclysm-era Zero. He may or may not be the Sigma virus carrier at the start of each game.

I dropped Nintendo when it all became too casual, but now the system I'm playing introduced this army and it's just as bad.

>>2217890
Zero can start as the Wily Virus carrier, but someone has to field a Sigma for the Sigma version of the Virus to be on the field.

Thanks for playing the battle Mario variant of Mornington Crescent on my /tg/. Proceed.

>>2217893
Haloclix are bad and you should feel bad.

>>2217901
Since the "Streamlining" of 7th ed, Wily Virus Rules = Sigma Virus Rules. The two are now one, and the fluff was retconned.

>>2217915
MORNINGTON CRESCENT!

okay tg. I've got an upcoming battle against this chick. I know he's going to send her out fully armored and upgraded with a ship compliment and her four allied hunters from the most recent rule set.
I play rockman forces and I want to know what you guys think the best way for my bluebomber to kill her baby metroid (thus gaining phazon special attack) and win this fight for me.
tl;dr what starting powers should i give my blue bomber to trn him into a metroid killer.

>>2217942

It was fine until all the Jocks started playing. Do they not understand that this is OUR thing?

>>2217957
Just take the original six Masters, you get a discount if you stick within one set and they cover all the bases. I mean they're not spectacular but they're still all-around good and it includes ice powers.

>>2217399
You best not be forgettin about the MOTHER BRAIN, y'all.

>>2217957
Most recent rules?
Using Phazon against Powercreep Aran?

You might want to rethink that strategy. Your only hope is that they spend too many points on powerups for her and she rolls a double-one coming into play (The NO MY POWERUPS rule). Failing that, take out the rest of her forces and pray for a victory via No More Troops Remaining. Many of the non-core armies don't have Endless Waves of Mooks as an option.

Hey what do you guys think of the Captain N set? It's kind of silly, but there are nice powers in there.

>>2218031
YOUR ARMY IS BAD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD
THEY REMOVED CAPTAIN N FOR A REASON IN FIFTH ED
HE WAS THE REASON FOR THE DECLINING PLAYER NUMBERS, ALONG WITH THE RIDICULOUSLY COMPLEX NOBODY-EVEN-MENTIONS-THEM-FOR-FEAR-OF-ASSASSIN-CARP DORF FORTRE

>>2217951
...but sadly, nowadays /tg/ just tries to end it as soon as it starts.

>>2218031
To quote my good friend, Mr. Francis Ottoman:
"Gaaaaaaaaaay...."

>>2218051
Dude, lay off the caps lock. What are you, 12?

>>2218064
13 BITCH WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT
I AM THE L33T3ST YOU N00B
YOU CANNOT DEFEAT MY SKILLZ

>>2218080
report for underage b& lol

>>2218108
Trolls: 1
Namefag: 0

And thus, a spectacular thread comes to an end.

Goddammit, guys.

Hey, >>2218051 here.
I just felt this thread was not in the spirit of /tg/; too much helpful critique of army lists and discussion of the game as a whole, too little rage and rampant trolling.

Have any of you seen the new Codex: Dreamland? Just finished updating my army OM NOM NOM NOM

>>2218133
/tg/ meta-threads are the best meta-threads. It could not last forever, and it was bloody brilliant for longer than anyone expected it to last.

So...anyone else play Smithy Gang? I hear Axem Rangers are the best unit point-for-point.

>>2217316

Hey, say what you want about the rest of the Shy Guy HQs, but Booster is kickass, especially if you can spare the points to put his Tower on the field.

Maybe some of you guys can help me. I'm aiming for an good balanced team. My army so far is;

Legendary Hunter Aran

Lady Bow
Paper Plumber Red

I got issues mixing and matching, I want a good balance team with decent defense, but with enough fire power to go fuckall if I want.

Hey, I was thinking of starting a pokemon army but sifting through all those models is making my head hurt. I was thinking of using a rock set up (Onyx/ geodude spam) with some electricity and fire to cover up the week spots. Are the legendary birds worth it?

>>2218154
Use Rampardos from the new book- it dies funny when you poke it, but it'll take out ANYTHING it actually hits

>>2218154
2nd gen models are the least gay.
