Army Building Challenge

Post by **birdman** » Wed Jun 24, 2009 9:55 am

As many of you know, I work at a game company operating out of Rhode Island. My gaming company, through a long series of events, has become involved with the brikwars community in that many of the forum members here are also playtesters for our main game, Heroes of War and Conquest.
Through another equally long series of events, I have become in charge of creating a selection of sample armies for the final edition of the rulebook.
Here's where you guys come in: I'm holding a competition to see who can create the 6 best armies out of the entire forum, using the Heroes rules. The six winners will have their armies featured in the rulebook, as well as their names mentioned.
Anyone can join. Those of you who don't actually have a playtest copy of the rules but want to join anyway can PM me and you will receive a copy of the rules, as well as a mention in the book under the playtester heading.

Guidelines
Armies have a point limit of 200 points.
At least one vehicle, one unit, and one individual is required.
All units and weapons must have stats.
Armies must be at least semi-serious.
Satire is fine, however.
All entries must be received by July 10th to be eligible for judging.

Judges will be myself, my boss, and our mutual friend in the R&D department.

Good luck!

What about something similar to 40k's Space Orks?

Post by **birdman** » Wed Jun 24, 2009 5:08 pm

Similar but not exactly alike is fine.
EDIT: Satire is fine, however.

Ah, why not. I'll probably try to make them space nazis or something totally different. Sign me up scotty! If Space nazis are to graphic or unsuitable for it, then I'll think of something like robot warrior armada or super space bandits.

Space nazis are fine.

YES!

Hilters brain in a wereshark's body, here I come!

Also, the one thing about the rules that is really pissing me off is the constant use of - which I'm assuming is because the first thing to use it was like this: Ac
-tion

or something like that.

Also, do we actually need to get/make the models, because I am dead broke and can't really do much outside of what I've already got. I'd be able to do sharkler, that's about it.

yeah, sorry about that. i copied the whole thing from a word document (which had hyphenation in word where they broke the page) into notepad, into the post.

EDIT:

!YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE MODELS FOR YOUR ARMY!

just the army list.
i realize that was a little unclear.
