New army build architype

[X-Sythe]

O.K. you thought a Shiro's 18" was sick and wrong try this one Jack with Julies LE pilot and Hellfire with Ydeck and ER Ammo. with either combat techs and SH faction prise or bansons faction pride.

Hellfire could .......go .....all...the .........way!!!!

I've got to work the points out but htis should be fun. ;D

So basically you have a "Hellfire" for four clicks with a 9 attack at 16" range? Not the best of mechs. A 9 attack just does not cut it anymore on most mechs.

And on "Jack" Nightstalker with Julies LE version combined... yes, a good combination of sorts but a)infeaseable in a 450pt battle, B)9 attack/ only 4 clicks of damage no matter how you cut it, and C) if your enemy is prepared, they will have already been A)in your face, or B) shooting you down. A 23 defense is not as powerful as many believe it anymore, with a good number of pieces having 12 attack values. However, instead of belittling the idea(Which is good, if expensive), let us build an army around such.

Mech(s)[/u]
1 "Hellfire" Phoenix Hawk
w/Trebor Ydeck
w/Extended Range Ammo
1 "Jack" Nightstalker
w/Julies "Julz" Kolchack
(Both recruited to Stormhammer/House Steiner)
Vehicle(s)[/u]
1 Glory Recovery Vehicle(Whatever it is called...)(HS)
Infantry
3 Angonera Battle Armor(HS)
Faction Prides/Situational Alliances[/u]
Stormhammers Faction Pride(Being that Stiener/Stormhammers have a House Alliance, this should work, no?)
Total:598-20 for the FP.

I think he should consider recruiting both mechs to Liao or ROTS (ROTS preferred probably for the cost)
and using Liao ATVs with the ROTS/LIao alliance to fire formation for 32 inches into the DZ. Add that to the LE Julie's ignore terrain for firing purposes when within 6 inches, and you have a potentially powerful weapon, although keeping Julie alive will be a hassle.

Although not viable in a 450 point, this could be quite excellent in a 750 point game or so.

Um hellfiire does 6 clicks and ydek makes it a ten attack. The liao rots is a good idea with atvs and other things like combat techsto keep ydek at full. and like the shiro you will have 2 to 3 turns before they can really do anything. besides your opponent can't be prepared for everything. ;D

Hrm. Nice. I would consider dropping the BA and picking up BAP for Julz. I also like the LI/ROTS idea. Drop all the BA, trade the savior for the LI CT, put in some ROTS atvs and you can hit on the first turn with a decent attack.

Wow Z, way back when I remember you saying to me, "I'm not impressed with BAP."

The only way to try the Trebor Ydek trick is to use the Liao/ROTS Situational Alliance!

Hmmm some interesting ideas indeed. I am still working on a SW/BR Situational alliance army.
