Welcome to My new 300 point army. Check it out, and I'll explain to the best of My ability.

For those who are not familiar with what I am trying to do, let Me explain a little. I am in the proces of trying to create 300 point teams that would take some courage to play. Every team I create will have a MAJOR glaring weakness or two, so I am not really looking for faults here. I KNOW what the faults are. What I am trying to do is get away from the norm in team building. ( in other words no more 2 E firelords, 1 V Bullsyeyes, 3 Doombots, and Black Panther for example.) You get My point right? We all see basically the same team everywhere we play. ( there will be NO mixing of dc and MARVEL, I just don't like the dc comics that much, so no WAY am I mixing those guys with my wonderfull Marvel figs.)

Well, here is is, keep reading after you have looked, for an explination of what it's for.

BLADES OF STEALTH!

Well? Let me try and explain for ya.
OBViouslt there are some serious drawbacks to this, right? Well, this team is designed for a timed game, where there are NO scenarios. Where I play, for right now, we are just playing head to head slugfests, with the only thing that matters is how many of your opponents figs you take out.

For this team to be a winner you need to keep your figs fairly well dispersed, no bunching up untill the battle is almost over. You need to place all object tokens in REALLY good places, to give ya more hindering terrain, and you need to have lot's of patience and GUTS.

The Bullseye/Doombot is the only really mobile faction of this army, and is designed to be a harraser. Can't let him stray to far though, move and shoot and run, to try and draw your opponent closer to the hidden death awaiting them. You can move Logan and Wolverine a little more freely than Blade and Electra because of the regeneration factor, but the rest have to be within a move or two of the medic late in the game, to pump em back up.

Obviously, on an indoor map, I feel that this army COULD dominate, not that it WILL, but it COULD. Just THINK of all that glorious hindering terrain!

Well, what do you think? anyone besides Me think it might work? If you got REALLY lucky, it might in work in a few scenarios.
If you can think of a way to make it better, without MAJOR changes, then let Me know ok? ( I know there isn't alot of free move, but with stealth ya gotta find a way to draw em in, so you should have time to clear most of your pieces before ya need em.)

I don't like having Logan and Wolverine on the same team. That's kind of like having a duplicate. How about putting Sabretooth in place of Wolverine? E-Sabretooth would be cheaper, but you'd lose the 12 attack. You wouldn't have duplicates of the same person, though.

Another idea is to put in Nick Fury in place of Wolverine for another ranged stealther, and you'll get outwit from him. He could be next to Bullseye or Elektra and boost their damage, too.

Someone at our venue has played an all-stealth team and did okay with it. I don't remember who all he had, but it wasn't all BCF figures like yours.

You don't have a lot of mobility here, so you may want to find a way to squeeze in a cheap TK guy. Like maybe replace the doombot with a Mandroid Armor. That way you can TK all your battle fury guys around the map, and you can use him to move objects anywhere you want. Kind of like having mobile hindering terrain. Plus it would give another ranged threat. I love B/C/F, so this kind of team makes me smile, but keep in mind that the secret to a winning team is diversity. When you have too much of one thing, it's usually not hard for someone to find and exploit it's weakness.

I do like the Nick Fury Idea very much. but so fay I am limiting things to just the figs I own( though I do have a Fury on the way hopefully)

and OF COURSE it's not very moble and highly specialised. I said as much in my post about the team,. that's the point! it waould take a very good and very gutsy player to use this team. thanks for the input though!

Maybe loose Blade (or down grade him), to put in a Vampire Lackey. Use the extra points to upgrade the Doombot (if you can squeez the points in, get the Vet.) Or upgrade Black Panther to Exp. for his B/C/F...

Random, I love you don't change a thing.

This is almost exactly how I play, most of my teams take guts to play as you said. I play with a stealth team that just absolutely kills.

r wolverine
e black panther
e cap
u elektra
v blade

It's 4 points under a 200, basically you get elektra and cap in front quick so they can deal their ranged damage, the reason I love playing this team is unless you can kill a character in one hit your screwed, or if you have superman/steel.

The only way to stop a guy with stealth is to charge/or fly up to him/her, and this guy probably has bcf as well so you'd better kill him or his gonna tear the mess out of you.

My opinion swap logan for eSabertooth and up panther to experienced,

good luck and may stealth and bcf be with you

LORD! I have a fan! WEEEEEEEE!! Now, my existence is truly validated!

But seriously thanks for the praise, and the ideas. Nice to know that someone out there also like to try things against the norm

Oh, themed teams are the most fun. I've actually beaten my friends with an Incapacitate team before... It was really lame, but they hated it.

oh buddy, incapacitate team, that's so funny. It'd be great just to hear someone say "you just beat me with constictor...CONSTICTOR just beat me! WTF!"

That's another team I am trying to come up with. a mostly incapacitate team, but that could take a couple day's
