Hey guys, I have been thinking about the Vong and I was wondering if anyone is still playing them? I know they have never been popular, but I was curious if all the love they got in Armed and Operational has paid off any?
I have heard they have done well in some regionals, but my main question is:
With commander Sha'kel, do you think non-swarm Vong squads are feasible? Or even playable?
After taking a long hard look at the Vong I tried out a couple options to see how they are working right now. The best squad I came up with were:
Spitting at Infidels
http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/139116/spitting-at-infidels(A typical Vong Super-Stealth squad, but with upgrades and Shooters. I tried it with Cad Baner too)
Gratch Lugg Richarggggh
http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/139222/gratch-lugg-richarggggh(trying to boost the Chazrach and getting them into battle, sub optimal at this point)
A vong Reinforcements/Reserves squad
(which is always going to be limited by the same factors that other Reserves squads are.)
and most recently what I think works best:
YV WARriors:

Notice the trend? All swarm like.
Anything you have been cooking up you think is better? Or a decent non-swarm Vong squad? I think Sha'kel may have it in him, but whenever I compare a squad he is in to YV WARriors or other like squads I realize how limited he actually is.
Feel free to push back.
