In all 1500 versions other than 2xGiants, Mumak/Giant and Dragon there is at least 3rd Hero. Probably taking Thrydan is a good idea, but it depends on the tournament restrictions that are in use (some tourneys ban allies, as officially should've been the case with the GT - according to the rulespack - but people didn't notice that line in the rulespack for the tournament and only because most players had allies, it wasn't a problem. Most likely next GT will be a no-ally tournament and then you have to fight with what Misty Mountains have as their basis ;))
ReplyDeleteAnother tourney I've been to disallowed allies to Moria if both Durburz and Druzhag were present, which is a bit stupid, but that's tough.
The 3rd formation moving slower isn't generally a problem because it allows me to fall back with Druzhag after the initial two get to combat and 8" with ignoring terrain is still relatively fast.
Thanks for the comments
I find that a 2nd formation of wargs is not essential, but it can be useful in many cases, if only as a blocker. Usually opponents get to shoot at one of the cav formations due to the set up so I just like having more so that any front losses are restored by the back ranks. I guess you could have Dragon and Gothmog - in fact that provides a 2nd Overlord for the Dragon, so effectively you get 8 Might for Heroic Combats and Duels which is pretty cool (especially with just level 5 limit - with no limit I tested and it doesn't work... in fact the Dragon itself just doesn't work against no-limit armies).
ReplyDeleteYeah, but I don't see myself painting another 100-150 Goblins, I'm already fed up with painting... plus the army would be boring as hell, I want something that doesn't just win but also gives me fun playing. I guess you could make a case for it competitively though, but it would simply not be worth the time and effort in my opinion.
