Multiple mech armies

[Zxqueb]

Ok Guys... with the change to 600 points, I've been thinking about multiple mech armies (3 or more). I've come up with some decent semi-competetive builds, but I would like to see if you all have ideas for other 3 or more mech armies or tweaks to these.

So to kick this thread off:

Mercenary ForestryMech B 86
Mercenary ForestryMech B 86

Arbalest 'Bolt' 105

-- Improved Targeting 23

Liao Anat APC 23
-- Mercenary Sniper Team 24

Total: 600


And...

Hmm I will think about some armies this evening..

I have a question RoyalScion. Why not decoy on the ROTS Heckion? He has a lot of Evade on the dial already!

[RoyalScion]

Because I only have one light decoy card

But seriously, the ROTS hellion only has 22 defense and I didn't feel that was worth slapping a decoy on. I guess if I could put in a decoy and add another fenrir, that would raise the total to 600 points. Whoops my mistake forgot the ROTS Hellion had evade on the dial already....

Here’s a quick one that is definitely not competitive, but would be fun in an unrestricted…

Swordsworn Thunder Fox 135
-- Duke Aaron Sandoval 34
-- Armor Piercing 35

Spirit Cats Thunder Fox 135
-- Extra Ammo 5
--Spirit Cats Rank: Star Captain 14

Steel Wolves Thunder Fox 130
-- Earl Crowhurst (Steel Wolves) 35

Spirit Cats Anat APC 29
-- Mercenary Sniper Team x2 24(48)

The key is to put blocking and water at your opponent’s deployment zone so that you can get your mechs down there and get some shots off at artillery + big targets. Assuming that they have huge attacks, putting yourself in hindering helps to get all the TFs defenses up to 24 (W/ Decoy on the SC one). If you need to crack a fatty, you can formation drop the merc snipers with any of the three foxes.

I like that this army has armor piercing, anti-personnel and pulse… you have a bunch of offensive options, which is nice.

There aren’t really enough basers for my liking, though… I suppose the anat can get in there and base stuff after the drop if need be.

I like the Duke in the Thunderfox. It is a nice combo. It is a pretty interesting setup and impressive to see 3 quads coming across the table!

So where's your army Baw?

baw likes runnin Warpog too much... a 600 point army would be like:

SS A4 x8
Additional Support

[baw]

Royal Scion.. I think I played that army once (LOL)

Faction wars I played SSW. I can't remember but I think it was 5 SSW AA Artilleries
Oh the days when you could stack pog.. I look favorably upon those memories..

Actually I had planned to go to Nationals in 2004. I had 4 SSW Arrow IV's A friend form church suffered a stroke week before nationals and I cancelled that plan It probably wouldn't have done that well but it would have been interesting. I have never "Liked" arty it is effective (but boring to play).

I did play 2 mechs in a sealed for a dropship.. The bad news is that I was running the game

rokuribi was ok. (with Wahab Fusili) I really like the DF Jaguar I had also pulled. it was only 450 or I would have been playing 3 mech.

The ROTS Heckion is pretty good.. Ok ok... I will try and spend some time after church tonight and think of an army

[baw]

ok... here is a wacko Idea I would try playing.... the Sit Alliance maybe too much it but it would be fun!

It doesn't have enough support.. but it is the kind of come and hit me type of army.. I am going to be repaired....

Ok that is just a random idea.. Lets be more serious for the next one!



I also had to put arty in the lest royalscion believe it wasn't me putting the army together!

Still doesn't quite work but it is getting interesting...

[RoyalScion]

Just can't work off the SSw A4 tanks couldn't ya baw?
As for the SS/BR alliance army, I'll let you off the hook and tell you to drop the A4 Tank and add a BR Faction Pride (drop something else if you have too... lotta points <_<)
just for the fun of it.

My rank is Artillery barrage.. I have to live up to that!
