Another All Star I really liked and now that GenCon is over with want to try out.  I have played against a Rakshasa warband twice and he is one tough customer.Â

I was thinking of something like:

Rakshasa
Thrall
Skullcleave
Skullcleave
x3 Merchant Guards
x2 Prisoner
Goblin Runner

200 pts 10 acts.Â

Move the Prisoners together to VP area.  Rak can Immobilize key pieces.  Skulls and Thrall are the beef.Â

Comments?  Other ideas?Â

I faced something similar to this but it was without prisoners and only had 1 SW. I remember there being a Hobgoblin Marshall. The band is nasty for sure!

Looks solid, I would hate to see it. How does it fare against TBA?

I guess pretty good with a Thrall in there, him being immune confusion, and a bodyguard for each of the other key pieces.

The Warhorse has a pretty good attack bonus. I wonder about the Rakshasa with a couple of mounted pieces. Getting four attacks from the Slapping Hand would be rather nice.

I'm also thinking the Exarch of Tyranny would be a nice companion for the Rakshasa.

On the other hand...

Rakshasa
Hobgoblin Marshal
Thrall of Blackrazor
Skullcleave Warrior x2
Goblin Runner
Farmer x4

That looks fun too. Swap out the Merchant Guards in Sirohk's band for a chance to get a couple pieces closer to the action faster. (Though the bodyguards are prized against some of the sight range piece out there.)
