| So I've been trying to put together a band that contains the storm silverhand, and this is what i came up with:
Storm Silverhand 57
Half Ogre Barb x2 25
Elf warmage 42
Dragonmark 34
That right there is 183 so im missing 17 points and don't know what else to put in the band, maybe aramil, idk, so please help me with that. thanks.

| I don't know that the Barbarians are going to give you everything you want, even if they are fearless. On the other hand, one of them is probably a good addition. Rikka might not be bad--right now, her greatest weakness is her level, and in most cases it's because of the possibility of a missed morale check. That would leave you with 11 points instead of 16. And, 11 points, for 3 pieces, gives you something like two Elf Warriors and a Xeph Warrior.

| | well, I kinda prefer the barbs over rikka because they are fearless, and the warmage needs blockers to prevent being reached too early by my opponent's hitters, and being large and fearless is a good think. | |

Yeah, I realized this when I was washing dishes, and couldn't remember where I posted it, so I couldn't edit it before someone caught me.

| | I don't know that the Dragonmarked will help you out a lot in this particular warband- Bodyguard could be used more optimally with a higher-cost beater, such as Kord or the Griffon Cavalry. I'd drop the Dragonmarked if you play on keeping the HOBs, in place of a War Weaver, who could cast Magic Weapon and Snake's Swiftness on your HOBs. | |

| why play war weaver over Crow shaman?...9 snake's swiftness is better than 4 and he is still fearless through storm. Also the crow shaman is faster and cat's graces gives some bump to the ac, but yes no magic weapon.
IMO : Crow shaman > War Weaver | |

Crow Shaman and War Waever in a Storm warband are probably pretty equl choices. Which one you choose will probably be the one that better fits your playing style.Â
Crow Shaman LEVEL 5 SPEED 8 AC 14 HP 40 MELEE ATTACK: +2 (5) RANGED ATTACK: +4, range 6 (5)Â Type: Humanoid (Human)Â Special Abilities: Chastise SpiritsÂReplaces attacks; Elemental, Fey, and Incorporeal creatures within 6 squares take 20 damage; DC 17 Mobility This creature gains a +4 bonus to its AC against attacks of opportunity. Spells: Lv.1ÂCure Light Wounds touch; heal 5 hp Snake's Swiftness range 6; target creature may make an immediate attack. Sorcerer Spells: 1stÂ[] [] [] [] Lv.2ÂCat's Grace touch; +2 AC, ranged attack +2 Sorcerer Spells: 2ndÂ[] [] [] Lv.3ÂSwift Fly self; gain Flight this turn, speed F8, swift action Sorcerer Spells: 3rd [] [] Â
War Weaver
LEVEL 8 SPEED 6 AC 15 HP 35 MELEE ATTACK: +3 (5) Type: Humanoid (Human)Â Special Abilities: Eldritch Tapestry When casting a touch spell, this creature can affect itself and up to 3 adjacent allies instead of the spell's normal target. Spells: Lv.1Â[] Magic WeaponÂtouch; attack +1, ignore DR Â [] [] Snake's SwiftnessÂrange 6; target creature may make an immediate attack. Lv.2Â[] Bull's StrengthÂtouch; target creature with cost 16 or less gets melee damage +5. [] Dimension Hop touch; move target creature 3 squares, DC 14; allies may voluntarily fail this save.
Crow Shaman has more SS, Cats Grace, and Cure Spells. But the WW offers higher level for saves, Magic Weapon on up to 3 creatures, 2 SS, and Dimension Hop.Â
Both CS and WW are potentially very useful in the a Storm warband.Â

| If CG had a really really good 16pt quasi hitter for bulls str the warweaver might be the clear victor... now it really just does come down to playing style...
I love the warmage as fearless!!! she was my MVP at the pre release... | |
