The Spires: Daroth Prime

I also have the Biomancer to do but I’ve been trying to decide how to apply the colour scheme I’ve chosen on it, so while that is mulling over I’ve pushed on and have started the two regiments of Drones that I built in error at the start so it should all balance out at the end.

The real strength of the Spires come from their ability to shape and
enhance physiology and function. This week we will add two potent
weapons in our Spire Army, the Biomancer and the Abomination!
Products needed:
● 1x Biomancer
● 1x Force Grown Drones
● 1x Abomination
Nothing breaks a flank better than a monster with 10 Attacks, Cleave 1 and
Flurry Charging furiously onto the enemy lines. The Abomination, despite
its massive size it’s incredibly fast and able to outflank and reign terror
deep behind enemy lines. Use it to threaten enemy ranged Regiments
and finish off any Regiment that your Vanguard Clones are struggling
with.
Adding a Biomancer into the mix will allow you to recycle Regiments that
are out of position in order to support and heal another Regiment. As we
build the list up Force Grown Drones will become a prime candidate for
…“repurposing”*.

This week we will be strengthening our forces by adding some much
needed ranged firepower and Character Removal!
Products needed:
● 1x Mimetic Assassin
● 1x Force Grown Drones
● 1x Marksmen Clones

The Spires
The Marksmen Clones are invaluable at supporting friendly Regiments
with their Arcing Fire ability whilst firing volumes of arrow fire over great
distances. Whilst the rest of your force engages the enemy, the Mimetic
Assassin with its Regiment is able to come from Reinforcements at just
the right time with its Flank ability!
High Clone Executor [75]
– Vanguard Clones (3) [165]
– Brute Drones (3) [180]
– Marksman Clones (3) [165]
– Force-Grown Drones (3) [80]
Mimetic Assassin [80]
– Vanguard Clones (3) [165]
The Mimetic Assassin is a great tool for removing and harassing enemy
Regiments. It’s ability to strike first in a Duel and a plethora of offensive
mutations available to it, will threaten vulnerable support Characters or
force them to deny a Duel, Breaking their Regiment in the process.
A well placed pincer maneuver will force an enemy player to choose
between losing their Character on the spot in a Duel or Break their
Regiment and potentially risking the Character’s Regiment being
Shattered by another Regiment charging it.

Did you spot my deliberate mistake?

No?

Well then, I should have been building two units of Vanguard Clones for Milestone One and not The Force Grown ones I actually did.

Where did I put those boxes….

I have my build list and even a chance to talk to Leo about it.

When the finesse and agility of the Cloned instruments of death meet the
ferocity and raw strength of vat grown Brutes they make a force that only
the most disciplined and ferocious warriors can stand a chance! March
your Biomantic forces and show once and for all true Spire superiority!

● 1x High Clone Executor
● 2x Vanguard Clones
● 1x Brute Drones

The kits mentioned above will allow you to create a solid foundation on
which to build your force or expand an existing one. This list will allow you
to form a solid foundation on which to build and expand your collection.
The list goes as follows:

High Clone Executor [75]
– Vanguard Clones (3) [165]
– Vanguard Clones (3) [165]
– Brute Drones (3) [180]

The Executor is a natural leader of Clones, deadly in close combat it well
compliments the large volume of the Clone’s attacks. Whilst the Clones
form a deadly front line the Brute Drones make short work of enemy light
Regiments.

The Spires are a fairly unusual force in Fantasy, elite like elves but crafters of the motes of life into clones and drones like flesh shaping aliens so I feel like they’re going to be a bit more interesting than drybrushing silver.

I decided to go off book for the colour scheme blending samuari and insect to get something distinctly alien and outlandish.
