Some people have been discussing introducing new players to BMG with demos lately, and finding appropriate forces. I feel 150 rep is a good way of giving a good taste of the game, quickly, interestingly, and showing enough to hook a player. I thought I would write some 150 lists that are as close to the starters (minor proxies) that are fair, and fun demos- no special equipment- it would bog down new players.
Starter armies- 150 rep
Bane- one big guy- awesome, I've hooked many new players with this guy
Big bane- 150
Origins bane- 150 Right on 150- no guns (dallas and Pipe prisoner could be used instead) but an interesting approach to the game with elite henchmen.
Origin bane- 93
Smash- 30
Mcgreggor- 27 (proxied from mcgreggor, or smash)
Joker- 142 -a little potent, but the lack of a serious gun tends to balance with the other armies
Joker- 90
knife clown- 15
Contragusto- 21
Shield clown- 16 (proxies from master of cerm, otherwise all in starter)
Penguin (starter)- 143 -this is a pretty perfect starter army- but you need terrain to stop the assault rifle from being too powerful
Penguin- 75
Emp- 31
Royal penguin- 24
shield penguin- 13
Twoface- 148 starter again- solid list, interesting, flexible
2 face- 101
twoowt-20
twoowt-15
twoowt-12
Batman- 150-plays fairly well, and teaches the game- and batman, well. it is also the easiest to pick up- batman and 1 blister of cops. The other Batmen are ok to play with, but this is the best way to learn.
Miller- 109
ron- 25
Policeman- 16
Cops- 142 -SWAT as a box is quite a bit over the $ restrictions- so with a couple proxies it balances out nicely.
Gordon- 70
bravo- 27
oconnel- 29 (proxied alpha)
police- 16 (proxied delta)
League- the starter is not great to play at 150 but without ras, and a proxy, the list becomes a lot more "league"-
Talia- 71(proxied by ying)
Lotus- 48
Yang- 31
Black Mask- Starter is a perfect, precise 150- covering all the bases of a good starter. Watch the guns though!
Black mask- 79
Anatoly- 33
Mesh- 22
Goon- 16
Poison Ivy-153
This list is a little harder to get a handle on- with the stationary plants and the control element on IVY, but once a few games have been played, a player can start to figure out how IVY works
Ivy-93
2x plant- 20
spore sheath- 20
Watchmen- 150
Roshchach moves, Comedian shoots, basic, but efficient
Rorschach- 75
Comedian- 75
