 | | 04/22/2007 9:22 AM |  Alert | With so many nicknames for all the old and new warbands, it's hard to know what mini's they contain. Is it possible to start a place here or in wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons_Miniatures_Game where the new users can go to find out what they are? As well as allow the possiblity to add a new combination of there own? I've personally had problems knowing what certain bands are, what some of the best ways to run them and what map to run them on. I'm trying to teach my 8 year old son and it help him (and me) fingure out what bands out there have the best luck.
Thanks

CoY (or CloY)- Cleric of Yondalla
ChoY - Champion of Yondalla (not often used, though)
CoDA - Cleric of Dol Arrah
MDP - Mounted Drow Patrol (I haven't seen MDK used for this)
PDK - Purple Dragon Knight
Korducopia - popular warband featuring Couatl, Aspect of Kord, bodyguard and Cleric of Dol Arrah
IM - Inspiring Marshall
FB - Frenzied Berserker
Inspired Frenzy - warband featuring IM and generally 2 FBs
OC - Orc Champion
EoG - Eye of Gruumsh
RHWS - Red Hand War Sorcerer
Titan build - any warband featuring one or two expensive and offensively potent units as its central feature (generally 60+ points is considered "Titan")
Beater or Hitter - an offensively potent unit in about the 30 -Â 50 point range, generally featuring potent melee attacks | |

CoS - Cleric of Syreth
That one's bound to cause confusion with the addition of the Cleric of Sune.
CoE - Champion of Eilistraee (or Champion of Unspellable)
DCoL - Drow Cleric of Lolth
AoL - Aspect of Lolth
AoB - Aspect of Bahamut (can also refer to Aspect of Bane, but the latter is so rarely used, folks apparently consider the ambiguity acceptable)
AoT or Tiamat - Aspect of Tiamat
AoK or Kord- Aspect of Kord (the Aspect trend should be obvious)
WFB - Warforged Bodyguard or Warforged Barbarian
WFS - Warforged Scout
LoB - Lord of Blades

| | 04/24/2007 10:49 PM | Alert | Actually what I meant was to just copy the old link into this one, rather than rewriting and figuring out what every thing was. Lingo is definately something that should be readily available (possibly a sticky sometime).
edit: and who says "chillax"? I'm still a kid, I've never heard anyone say that ;P, is 17 that old nowadays? sigh | |
