-The tournament season has over here and I,m very tired of seeing always the same warbands.My local gaming-zone is reduced but very,very competitive.That,s my experience with the most powerful epic warbands in each faction:

LG: bahamut with couatl and warweaver.Arcane ballista and warforged bodyguard appear a lot too.The best choice for tournaments-winners.

LE:Tiamat with dark moon monk nad a lot of helmed horrors.Duergar champion and large duergar have been seen too a lot.The another best choice in my opinion.

CG:It,s hard to say because only a few players have play it,but the best option looks like to be the archmage with inspiring marshall and graycloak.Frenzied berserker,spellscale and crow shaman are good average pieces.

CE:It,s sad but fomorian continues being the only one true competitve epic CE warband.Try ryld argith,orc wardrummer,drider sorcerer (if not banned) and tiefling captain.Eye.orc champ and red samurai are very good choices but not so good like they used to be.

Your experience,please?

instaed of tiamat with all them u should have godslayer and koblod minor because then that would crush the

bahumut

yes,kobold miner is always used.I,m no sure about bluespawn.Yes,it is cheap but not a true competitive tier 1 piece.Even it is a good piece against bahamut (not sure about this) ,against the rest of warbands it is not useful.The most of people prefer helmed horror and the duergars ,much more useful in the most of circunstances and much more cheap in order to gain more activations.

CG warbands usually work really good in epic due to the tactical possibilities. In my opinion one of the best chaotic good warbands is:

Elminster (non-epic), 3 Archmages, Inspiring marshall, Evermeet wizard (+6 TWolf), Meph Pyro.

LG with Bahamut I have seen the spellscale be a great addition particularly for mirror matches as a blurred Bahamut will beat a regular Bahamut most of the time.

LE: adding GS Razorfiends I have found very helpful to Tiamat bands.

CG: both the multi-archmage IM bands and dual Storm archer bands are hard to beat

CE: non-Epic Balor with the Fomorians.

I haven't tried it out myself, but I've read that Tiamat and the Beholder have some good synergy.

The Spellscale is indispensible with Bahamut, not just for the blur, but also the Counterspell and ray of enfeeblement.

Multi-Barneys haven't proven to be good at taking out a well-built, well-run Bahamut.

CG:It,s hard to say because only a few players have play it,but the best option looks like to be the archmage with inspiring marshall and graycloak.Frenzied berserker,spellscale and crow shaman are good average pieces.

I won the Gencon Epic Tournament (6-0 my score) by playing CG.

My warband was: 4x Archmage, Inspiring Marshal, Moonelf Fighter, Graycloak + Wolf, Satyr.

Some questions on winning the GenCon Epic Tournamnet:

1) Why did you use the Satyr?Â

2) Did you face any Bahamut and or Tiamat warbands?Â

3) If you did face any Bahamut and or Tiamat warbands, what did you use first against them?  Mordy's Swords?  Empowered MAgic Missile?  Empowered Melfs Acid Arrow (against Bahamut)?  Basically, how did you deal with these two beasts?Â

4) What other warbands did you face in your 6 wins?Â

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.Â
