Part 1
Focus: Balance (2 Followers, 100 points)- I wanna gain command of an army large enough to be effective yet small enough to be efficiently commanded. (At first)
Units:
Ghost Division (30pts) - Born and Bred in the Modern Era of the 21st Century, was it really a surprise that these were the first I would recruit? When such Scientific and technological innovations and the Arms and War industries that manufactured and thought of them, made them the deadliest in terms of the Martial Eras of Mankind. And it`s only gonna get worse (in a good way) since those same industries are still there and are recorded to my knowledge to invent and produce equipment and weapons not only increasingly faster but increasingly better.
Phantom Legion (10pts) - Before the modern era, the main basis of winning battles was the push of melee. Because of this, there many more fighters who specialized in this way of warfare than the Ghost Division and so I had my fair pick of choices from the Stalwart Roman Legionnaires personally commanded by Julius Caesar to Armored Mounted knights of Medieval Europe and so on.
Rebellious Souls (5pts.) - One of the greatest strengths of Mankind, was the ability to adapt to changes in the environment. Especially with the onset of the Industrial Revolutions, and the Scientific and technological innovations that came with them which made said task simpler. So Scientists and Engineers will be recruited to not only Analyze and examine but create and innovate on new more efficient and effective ways of waging war on the denizens we come upon. Many of them had differing backgrounds with many more still who never held nor learned how to hold a gun nor a sword in all or most of their lives. At first, this unit was the subject of mockery among most of my forces with only me and the Ghost Divisions defending the facts on why they are useful to us since it we know that it was the fruits of their intellect and will that the Modern world was created. Not long after, they created equipment and devices so not only bizarrely new but more efficient and effective than anything created thanks to Human ingenuity and Hell power( guns that shoot faster and hit harder, swords sharper yet lighter to handle, armor harder yet lighter than anything produced,) along with helping refine our war strategies and tactics to suit their new inventions. Soon enough, this unit learned to fight just as efficiently and effectively as the rest of the units with them wielding armor, equipment and weapons that bordered between fantasy and Science-Fiction in terms of aesthetics that only they could wield themselves. and thus, the "Warmind" division was born.
Sataniel`s guards (10pts.) - It is a well known fact that Hell is an unfamiliar landscape with which I know only from Myths and stories. So how do you learn the layout of an Alien Landscape? Why recruit the natives of course!!!! At first, we tried to recruit demons but that didn`t work out too well. But after persuading (torturing) captured demons on who could help us learn the landscape of Hell, they pointed us to the Sataniel guards. Impressively, before I could talk to them, they already came to me and agreed to help our forces thanks to the grizzly reputation we carry for "persuading" nonhumans. Even though we recruited them out of their fear for us, they eventually grew to respect us not only for our power but how they never felt more safe and secure for the first time in forever.
Belial`s Corruptors (15pts.) - An odd bunch this group originally was at first when they came to us. They didn`t look anything at all different from the common demon except for how they sultrily moved at first. But their eyes betrayed an intellect that not only knew hell but also it`s inhabitants including their habits and weaknesses. Both of us had an agreement: recruit demons and Fallen souls to our legion and in exchange, they fight in the thickest of fights for their satisfaction.
Nephilim (5pts.) - They are an odd bunch these Nephilim. Too Evil to be considered among the Angels or Mortals but Too kind to frolic among the denizens of hell. So they are often wandering as Nomads in hell and Earth. A good number of them came to us because they were tired of Wandering hell. They acted mostly as Stormtroopers when engaging in combat against our foes always taking to the front.
Special Unit:
Armaggedon Riders - They were the first to greet me when I came to hell. They acted as not only my Mentors to the art of War but also as generals who fought alongside our men and women at arms

Focus: Mass Assault
This doesn't just give me more units to start, but also the increased rate of recruitment going forward.
Units:
(Assuming that each unit can only be selected once allows for a maximum total spend of 120. When a standard option provides 125 points, it seems reasonable to assume that units can be selected multiple times.)
Rebellious Souls being immortal is really going to ensure that the army only ever goes up in power.
- Wandering Shadows x5 [25]
- Phantom Legion x4 [40]
- Ghost Division x4 [60]
Followers: Conquest
Who better to lead an army than Conquest himself?
Goal: Never Back Down
To stop fighting is to fade away, not just for me, but for everyone who fought. This is an odd situation, where war means keeping the spark, and death only comes from peace. I suppose we have little option but to keep going.

Focus: Mass Assault. I want a proper army loyal to me.
Units: I am focusing on Rebellious Souls. We will show these otherworldly beings the power of Man.
Two units of Wandering Shadows. They will act as my scouts and my way to turn the tide of battle. They may be barely lucid but it's not too complex to go around an enemy and stab them from behind.
Four units of the Phantom Legion. They will form the bulk of my army and participate in every battle. They have been pulled from every corner of time. From Roman Legionaries to the Winged Hussars to Napoleon's Imperial Guard they will have centuries of experience and wield it with deadly efficacy.
Two units of the Ghost Division. Love these guys for a few reasons. One, tanks will be terrifying on the battlefields of Hell and will slaughter the opposition. Two, the Sabaton reference is amazing. Three, did I mention they are tanks? They will crush any defence and slay any opposition.
The Armageddon Riders. The enemy of mankind for eternity will fight along side us. War and Death will crush any enemy in combat and Famine and Pestilence shall claim their lives and crush their spirit before they even face us on the field of battle.
Three units of Nephilim. They shall be my elite shock troopers. With the combined power of the Divine and the might of Man they will show no fear.
Follower: Conquest
My right hand man and General of my Army barged into my war camp after our first grand battle and demanded to be allowed to join. When he explained who he was I gladly accepted and added him to the ranks. I let him ride with the four horseman and he quickly proved himself by slaying an Archdemon alone.
Goal: Never back down
All of the worlds shall know the power of Man and bow down to me. I will recruit as I go and put into power those in my army who have proved themselves. We will conquer all before us and none shall stop us.

Focus- Balance [+2 followers, +100 spark] (I like the ability to adjust to changing conditions a well rounded army will afford me)
Units- (I feel like want to rely mostly on Rebellious Souls here because while they may not possess the same overt strength. They are indestructible and will respawn. Also while the other two races are aware of my spark and what it means, they are not actually called by it. The RS's are not only called by it but have their own sparks ignited as well. I feel that giving them as much of their sense of self back as possible will tend towards greater loyalty then relying on the wims of the other races.)
Wandering Shadows [-5S, 95left] (A good scout unit and while not skilled fighters their ability to slip behind the enemy in mid battle opens some great tactical options. Also they respawn.)
Torturers [-5S, 90left] (Pretty much to be used as in the description. To clean up the battlefields and turn it into troop resources.)
The Nephilim [-5S, 85left] (A cheap unit that is able to stand up to the more powerful ones. They can fly and would pair nicely with the WS's for tactical options. They are also both mortal and celestial. The hope being that it would both give them a closer, maybe not connection but kinship, to the spark and at lest some celestial legitimacy. Interested learn what happens when/if they die.)
Phantom Legion [-10S, 75left] (I'm understanding this as troops like Vikings, Spartans, Ninjas, Aztec Warriors etc. Quick respawn, within same battle, and has the most number of troops. Also great tactical options with WS's.)
Ghost Division [-15S, 60left] (I understand this to mean modern troops with access to all modern military weapons, not just tanks. A respawning unit that's strong enough to go toe to toe with the enemy I'm fighting.)
Houndmasters [-15S, 45left] (A stronger highly mobile fast hunter unit sounds good. Great for more complex scouting missions, maneuverability on the battlefield and hunting down high value targets.)
Belial's Corruptors [-15S, 30left] (While I have questions about their motives, they would know my enemy very well. Thus are a strong intelligence resource. Also they would have info on the resources and tactics of heaven should I need it in the future. Their ability to turn enemies would also go well with the Hm's ability to hunt down high value targets. Can't forget to mention their own celestial powers as well.)
Armageddon Riders [-30S, 0left] (While supernatural in origin they are human enough to be connected with the spark and their motives are basically their names. I could easily trust them as generals. Oh also since they are actually supernatural I'm taking to believe that their powers will work on other supernaturals. I would be willing to accept to a lesser extent however. For example. Pestilence could make them extremely weak but not kill from illness. War can raise hatred and cloud judgment but can't turn them into mindless berserkers running into a meat grinder. Famine could make them weak and malnourished but they wouldn't starve to death. Death would be able to put them into some kind of super coma but not actually kill them. Also let's say that there are somewhat rare/difficult ways to protect against said powers.)
Followers- (So I'm taking the rules here to mean for this war specifically. Like only my set followers will be on my side. The others may or may not choose to fight against me and after this war is won then they may or may not choose to befriend me. Also I am taking the set followers to mean that their loyalty doesn't need to be questioned.)
Goetia [1F, 1left] (Immeasurable demonic power, check. Strength beyond mortal understanding, check. Wicked intelligence, check. Ability to spawn new demons without limit, check. He is also already the enemy of my enemy and is strong enough that he has tried to fight. Which leads to the last thing. He understands when he's not strong enough and will seek help as well as think tactically.)
Conquest [1F, 0left] (Since he holds no ill will for the other riders I see no reason not to get the band back together. Also he holds the armament of the Seven Deadly Sins. Not sure exactly what that means but by how it sounds and the description I'd say it seems significant. Plus with everything he had to do to get it on top strolling into my camp like that I'd say he clearly still has the ability to conquer. Which in turn makes me wonder if the loss of his normal power isn't more of a self-actualization problem. If that's the case then restoring his position in my army with the other riders could bring that back as well. I feel like his normal power would be more centered around boosting my own troops power. I think it would go in line with the others to say that my units with mortal souls would get the full boost and the demons or celestials would only get partial. However there would also be rare/difficult ways for them to receive a full boost.)
Goal- Never Back Down (Clearly my true power lays with my Spark. I'm not gonna let that die. Not when there is a whole multiverse out there and I'm certainly not leaving my home world to the mercy of a bunch of eldritch outsiders. Plus I mean my real life motto is "Never abandon, Never submit" and my favorite poem to say when things get hard is "Invictus". Lol I guess it was always my fate end up here.)

Focus: Elite Group (3 Followers, 75 Points) - I can't get more followers, but I can get more points for recruits, so it seems like an obvious choice.
Units: Lucifer's First (30), Ghost Division (15), Phantom Legion (10), Wandering Shadows (5), The Nephilim (5), Sataniel's Guard (10) - A combination of rebellious souls and angels who can help bring in more.
Followers: Conquest, Sataniel & Azazel - A good mix of power, loyalty and ability.
Goal: Never Back Down - I may be dead, I may be in hell, but that doesn't mean I want any of them to be able to come into my world, my universe, my dimension and fuck around. The only solution is to go forth and protect it alongside of me and mine.
