Shouldn't be too hard. Anything with low hit point, low AC figures is squishy. A CG archer band with lots of HEBIs and Graycloak Rangers, and no significant blockers, is pretty typical. Or a Red Wizard band with lots of additional spellcasters.

One thing to do is look at the hit point to point cost ratio. Anything with fewer hit points than its point cost is at least somewhat squishy, though a very high AC may offset this to some degree (as with Ulmo).

I really want to try one in a local tourney to see what people will try to kill first. So, if anyone knows a good squishy band, tell me.



The band I played in my first sanctioned DDM tourney was pretty squishy:

Gold Dragon
Warmage
Aasimar Favored Soul
Eberk, Adventurer
Sword of Heironeous
Celestial Black Bear
Standardbearer
Stonechild
Hill Dwarf Warrior (x3)


You could probably replace the Gold Dragon with two lesser cost squishy figs, but the MGD is actually awfully squishy for his cost, I believe, especially in a high-Chraal environment like the current one.

As a general rule, I'd say that any piece able to cast two or more spells will be squishy for the points.

Red Wizard
Cultist of the Dragon x4
Snig the Axe + 3 goblin skirmishers

I don't think it gets much squishier. Nothing with over 30 hp.

Try topic has some of the worst pieces in use for the reverse tornament

LE is the worst faction to go with IMO, because the designers made too many overcosted spellcasters back in the first few sets.

Nice, I think that is about as squishy as it gets.
