Enemy of the month

#1 Post by Prince of Spires »

Christmas is upon us and new year is rapidly approaching. Time to chose the first enemy of 2015.

The goal is simple. Find out what strong and weak choices are for different armies, what common builds are and how do we fight (and beat) them?

Each month will feature a different army. Ideally the discussion will run for about a month. At the end of it we can have a look if we can summarize the discussion in article form perhaps. Which we can then save for posterity...

So, voting is open. Who should be the next enemy of the month? The army with most votes December 31th (or whenever I get online after that) gets chosen.

Hi Rod,

I was wondering if Enemy of the Month formula still works. Last one we had was in October and despite the voting for Skaven the contribution to the topic was small. I guess it was the reason why November and December didn't have any new topic either. What makes you think it will generate more traffic now?

I voted for the empire. They have some interesting strengths and weaknesses

I would have voted Legions of Chaos but it wasn't an option. I don't know about your guys local meta but all the End Times lists are being used in mine. One event so far has comped it a bit, not single models over 800 points, no end times magic, the next is play testing everything in though.
I saw Karaz-a-Karak...and then I burned it to the ground.

Baleanoon and House Morhathel march once again for the Glory of Khaine and his chosen King.

It's about 50/50 here.

I've got an ET-free tourney at the end of Feb but I imagine SCGT will run in April and I'd bet a lot on ET for that.

It's turning out to be a two-horse race between empire and Wood Elves. Just 2 days of voting left...

@Swordmaster: I'm not too worried about the response so far. 20 odd replies is decent enough. The reason they were absent Nov/Dec is actually far more mundane. I simply had 2 very chaotic months at work/home. So I didn't have time to put them up and completely forgot about them. Things have settled down a bit again, so here we are again.

@Baleanoon: I'll include Legions of Chaos next month. Stay tuned. :)
