| | Not going to be much extra damage from the dwarf with those few activations ... you'd be better off with the ho paladin. | |

| Actually the Battle Plate Marshall+MGD+MSD is only 165 pts, it leaves 32pts left for filler.
Although the H-Orc Paladin+MSD+MGD its 170, it could work out as well. | |

| If you want to try it, consider the Couatl since it can counteract both dragon's "Double Damage from Fire or Cold" weakness.
Cleric of Yondalla has MW and Cmder 3 as a backup.
The poor Battle Plate Marshall won't be able to keep up, but a Couatl will. With the breaths and sonic stuff, you may just be able to kill a few pieces and then kind of run for it if you're still outgunned.
Consider a Barbarian Merc to get at least 1 hit for 30 damage on paralyzed foes and perhaps fill the rest of the slots with MaA.
It probably won't be a super competitive band, but, it sounds fun to play in an 8 activation setting.
A Medium Gold, Medium Silver, and Large Silver could form an interesting start to a 500 point band... perhaps with a Trumpet Archon, Couatl, and a few things to take advantage of paralysis.
Between the fire and cold cones, you'd wound most everything and, vs an evil band, get everything to Morale Check. | |
Completed good trades with Demagogue, PigSnot, DoB, and Alepulp.

| | The Medium Gold is just bunk. Go for 2 MSD's. | |
They just don't know what's good in life...Conan, tell them what is good in life.
To rip the boosters. To count the minis spilled out before you, and to hear the indifference of the women... | |

| Agreed. MGD is good to drink, but bad to use in Skirmish (yay for acronyms with different interpretations)... [)]
Cheers,

| | Yeah, the MGD just can't compete in most cases. If you insist on running one, have lots of beaters besides. The Medium Silver, however, has two breath weapons, one of which can be devistating. Dual medium silver and a JA build could be effective. | |

| | If you could somehow pull the MG(reen)D into this band, that would be cool. | |

he'd have a rigged epic and his commander effect would be "Elves gain dmg +5 and immune cold" and an SA would be "If this creature starts next to rudoplh, they both become fearless.
