they are too squishy. PLUS, they cannot get based or else they'll get smacked around. I agree they do some good damage....

I'd rather see them with the couatl, so they can target each other with lines if needed.

I have try this cormyrean two times and both entirely lost (one of them against a beholder-soth).This mini looks very cool for me but must to admit is not a tier 1 (even with silverhand).But next time I will combine it with shield guardian.Maybe it will work.But the winner warbands (GAS,dancers,penta duergar,multi helmed...)will surely smash you at the second-third round for sure.

Am I crazy?

Storm plus four Cormyrean War Wizards leaves you with enough room for some decent tech or VA grabbers.

That's a lot of damage.

If LE has an unit like Cormyrean wizard, I will play it all the time....

Cormyrean wizard need skillto be used, and I think that an waraband dont need more than 2  of this wizards. I se a lot of people here that use this wizards  with surprising  skill, I lost more than  3 times against warbands that contain this unit and all of this time thanks to Cormyrean wizards.

iluvxtina, Why do you think he's not a tier 1 unit? I see a lot of potencial on it....

At the begining If you follow spell sequence this Wizard can cast an Lighting bolt of 20 -  30 damages..... Lighting does 20 damages, if enemy save and cormyrean have an adyacent ally the spell do 10 electric damages + 10 Phalanx Spell = 20 and if you enemy fail his save you cause 30 damages, plus you can heal Storm every time you shot the spell.

is this unit an Tier 1? I think so...

Better yet combine 1-2 of these with a Elf Warmage for variety

Posted By iluvxtina on 04/10/2007 12:56 PM
The first time I played this mage was against a beholder-soth warband.The most of my spells missed (I cannot remember exactly) and receive an abyssal blast.The second time I do not remember if my rival was an orc champ-eye or a penta duergar warband but I was surrounded in drow enclave at the second round.I only talk about my experience.For me is a medium piece.But I hope i,m mistaken and you,re right RYOGA because I love this mage.If you obtain competitive results,post here and I,ll try your warband soon.Next weekend probably I,ll pair him with sield guardian for better results.But it is a matter of stone/scissors/paper

I was also thinking of something like this:

Storm
Bralani x2
War Wizard x2
15 points of fodder (probably 3 Wolves)

You have a lot of lines. The electricity lines can go through Storm, and you don't have to worry about hitting the Bralanis either.

The Bralani lines have some flexibilty thanks to their mobility, but, targeting will be a problem on Hellspike.

Still, you have a lot of damage potential, especially on favorable maps. The Bralanis will be probably best suited to their bows against LBDs, at least for a while (+11/+6 for 15 magic thanks to Evil Foe). The problem, of course, is that the acid lines are going to HURT them since they're level 6.

Just for fun, this is what I'm trying out tomorrow:

Storm
Bralani x2
Cormyrean War Wuzo
Bonded fire summoner (3x SFE + 1xSFE and 1 Fire Mephit)

You have to get your summons right, but you can make a nice fire shield with the SFE's if you can block some passages with them. Use the mephit as tilegrabber in round 1. Frostfell rift sounds fine, occupy VA with mephit and shoot the bastards coming to you.

Consider summoning Magmin insted or with the SFE's.
The SFE's do the fire damage when hit, and with low HP and low save, if they are hit they are likely then dead or running.
The magmin do the fire damage when adjacent piece activates. Park one next to most fodder pieces and they are dead or doing a MC. Or enemy has to waste an acto to go over and kill it with something else.
Consensus seems to be that the CWW wants to be in at least a pair. If both get based, one can take an aoo and slide the other, then the slid one fires off something nasty at the "baser". (or just slide the baser, but then there might be SR involved)
Next round alternate. They have decent hp and are fearless so you might get the off for a couple of rounds. 2 blasts of 25point rays or 30pt bolts can take somethign down quickly, especially if paired with a silver fire line.
The Bralanis are a nice touch as well.
I have heard of Storm, CWWx2 Bralanix2 = 187/5 with 13/3 for tile grabbers.

Assuming I undstood you right, you can't summon a fire mephit with the bonded fire summoner, it's an outsider.

Pardon my n00bity but a few peeps mentioned the spell miss rate of Cormy. The only spell with a DC on his skirmish card is his Lightning Bolt. His other [range 6] spells dont have a listed DC, so therefore arent they automatic hits?

Posted By PBA_Porch on 04/17/2007 2:43 PM
Now that we are on the topic. Wouldn't a CWW lightning only be effected by SR if you are targeting Lord Soth? If that is the case you could use storm as a 'lightning rod' and forgo the SR altogether.

Storm Silverhand
Elf Warmage
Cormyrean Warwizard x2
Gnome Trickster
Bat Familiar
Timber Wolf x2 or Xeph x2 + Elf Warrior

On King's Road

Posted By Kypdurron on 04/18/2007 11:43 PM
to the original question .......Yes completely crazy because like the rest of us you play with little plastic men!

Posted By KillerZebra on 04/18/2007 10:16 PM

Storm
Cormyrian War Wiz x2
Bralani
Virtuous Charger
Bat
Timber Wolf
Xeph Warrior
Map:  Kings Road

Lead w/ Storm and Bralani.  Most challengers will target Storm instead of the War Wizards.  F12 Charger helps if Wizards need it, or for finishing off targets; Use Bat, Wolf and Xeph to set up lines (yes, sacrificing them).  This is a brutal band.  Undefeated after 5 play testings.Â

Tier 1...we shall see soon enough.  Qualifier coming up soon....
