The Spires: Daroth Prime

so these are big, not brutal tanks like the Brute Clones, but a more elegant weapon for a more elegant age!

So plenty of options to keep them individual and primed well I decide how to paint them up, homeward stretch now I can almost smell the painted army gaming now.

Nothing says Biomantic superiority like tall, remote controlled, chitin
machines of death. This week we will be adding a powerful Warband to
the Army List, adding greatly to the staying power of your force.
Products needed:
● 1x Lineage Highborne
● 2x Avatara
The Avatara’s high mobility, Defence and Resolve allows them to position
themselves between the enemy’s Regiments and yours protecting your
high value Regiments and denying key charge lanes. One Regiment can
hold a Flank, two Avatara Regiments on a flank and your opponent is in
trouble!
High Clone Executor [85]: Warlord, Fury
– Force-Grown Drones (6) [155]
– Brute Drones (3) [180]
– Marksman Clones (3) [165]
– Vanguard Clones (6) [330]
Mimetic Assassin [95]: Venom
– Vanguard Clones (3) [165]
Biomancer [75]: Essence Transfer
– Force-Grown Drones (3) [80]
– Abomination (1) [145]
Lineage Highborne [120]
– Avatara (3) [165]
– Avatara (3) [165]
We make sure to add a few more points to the list with “Venom” on the
Mimetic Assassin. Deadly Blades will now make sure that whoever is
about to Duel the Mimetic will think twice. Your opponent will have to
make a tough decision, accept the Duel and maybe lose a Character or
save the Character and be left with a Broken Regiment. Tempting target
for wandering Abominations and ranged-in Marksmen Clones.

Skin is done and time to move on to poppier colours

Actually before I start painting I’m going to cheat a little on the build, the army calls for a third unit of Vanguard Clones, but I’ve decided to build them as Marksmen clones for two reasons.

One I wanted to see how they looked and two I thought it would give me more variation in list building.

If I ever need to field them as the Vanguard version they should be I’m just going to spread the crossbow wielders out in the back ranks of the other two regiments leaving all the stabby guys to the front. This is a great way to double your options when building massed battle units by the way.

I know how the look of the Clones will turn out but I had to work out where I was applying my colour scheme to this gentleman and with the wonders of technology I think I have it

This week we will focus on strengthening the core of the Army adding
extra Vanguard Clones and Force Grown Drones into the list.
Products needed:
1x Vanguard Clones
1x Force Grown Drones
With the addition of extra ranks for both Vanguard Clones and Drones it
is time to make some structural changes in the list, moving Mainstays inbetween Warbands.
Throughout the game the High Clone Executor will stay within the large
Vanguard Clone Regiment forming a powerful front line Regiment.
The Biomancer will be able to use the Large Force Grown Drones
Regiment to heal fallen Vanguard Clones or replenish wounds on the
Abomination or Brute Drones allowing them to continue the fight grinding
down the opposition.
Lastly, the Mimetic Assassin is a powerful tool to keep in reserves as its
Regiment may spring to action at any point threatening valuable Character
targets and and come from Reinforcements at a moment’s notice.
