Fatal Five Fun

[ThePancakeMan]

What config of characters do you think is best for a Fatal Five 500pt theme?

Validus - 152
Tharok - 100

Since these are the only versions of them available, I'll list only the variables.

V Empress
R Mano
R Persuader
483pts, Feat-able

E Empress
E Mano
E Persuader
499pts

V Empress
E Mano
R Persuader
493pts, 1 Feat

I was just working on this the other day!

Validus - 152
Tharok - 100
E Empress
E Mano
E Persuader
499pts

This is the one I'd go with - the better Persuader makes a real difference!

I would go with V persuader, R empress and R Mano. The Empress can carry the persuader to charge range stopping behind blocking terrain. Clear next turn, then running shot/pulse wave with the Empress, followed by the Persuader charge/exploit weakness.

I would go with V persuader, R empress and R Mano. The Empress can carry the persuader to charge range stopping behind blocking terrain. Clear next turn, then running shot/pulse wave with the Empress, followed by the Persuader charge/exploit weakness. V Persuader does not have the Fatal Five keyword.

Fatal Five themes are so hosed by inability to use their wildcards, its kind of a bummer. They're at an even bigger disadvantage versus the Legion now that they have an Alt-TA, never mind the fact that Legion figs tend to be waay better for less points.

We need a new, rightfully powerful Validus to even things out.
