https://poxbase.com/deck/C4Tcuick-CkcalctdcoTcfLCl4c4chNC1tC9hsgs5VR2XrHrTr29R5r1r8e1m Pretty clear what this tries to do. The two dwarf masons are there to keep the Piles running while they poop their own summons. A different idea for the Ramp n Stamp BG, based off a game against @potatonuts. Obviously, this variant cries over Swarm, Backlash, Sever/Tongue, and Powersource. The solution? Cry about it -- eat the matchup. Swarm can be handled well enough, and the Masons make a Powersource salvageable, but it's rough.
I am a pretty big fan of the IS zombie splits, the dwarves' utility works really well with zombies. I'd probably try and squeeze some fleshblights in there as they work well with the charge from sergeant.
I'd love to get them in there, but the FW side is already a sardine tin of nonsense, not sure there's space. Edited title with the name that escaped me earlier.
Why not do that in full faction with Elsari Mason and Corpse Pile? Something like this would work, although I know I'm missing core spells. https://poxbase.com/deck/ck-Cg_CtUC75CqlCpQCfLChNC9hc4nR2XrTR29Rvr3WR1r8e1m
It would probably work FF as well. I'm mainly splitting with IS for the crazy nora gen, Priest, and Houndmaster, which all add something extra. Making it FF with Statue and Elsari Mason sure is tempting, not sure if I would run the exact list as there.
I probably wouldn't run that list either. There's no mobilization, essence drain to setup Zombie Apocalypse, and I'm not sure what else. I'd probably run one tome, one mason spire, one altar.
sp has mason units now. and the have clay forms. ++++= alot of zombies ++= good nora gen peak tactics (spell)+ = surprise damage/ swarm combined with some cheep units, wandering zombie being one, this is the bg I have been using. I guess you could: ++()= x but it feels unnecessary. i use one alacrity and one . Never really need him though. AoE spot cleans is nice in zombies too, via .
++++= alot of zombies been thinking about adding () to the above combo, but feels unnecessary as well.
i tried reanimate on coragh, turns out he has warding. thought about trying reanimate on the clay form, but did not bother
He can, however, be targeted by Exhume, as Warding only prevents spells. It's nowhere mentioned in the text, but Exhume can't target Bloodless champs. Still great for Deathcaster and Coragh.
this is what my bg currently looks like, a lot could take the place of tempest crown, I use it on Timmy sometimes but pawn is good at keeping him alive. I like Abomination, but at the same time I have been thinking about using more champs with the zombie apocalypse ability. Timmy's boghopper zombies and Cory and Bragh all have zombie apocalypse, so swarming is not a big deal really. I have noticed Timmy's zombie plague works inconsistently, but that is pox. Blue belly is "that rune." Speckled fesh is neat, he generates little nora, sits back and waits for a "dap attack" from 3 spaces. If I decide someone is worth healing, the fesh comes in a feeds them to full hp, most of the time.
