| | So why the spider of lolth in the starter band, instead of summoning? How many spiders of lolth do you plan to have around to summon? | |

| | Why does everyone use the Half-Fiend Ogre?! Any of the CE quad hitters are better! Try the Orc Chump for DMG or the Red Samurai if your meta is JA heavy. | |

I got to summon three extra spiders but just wasn't enough, the two immune to poison guys wrecked my day. There's a lot of poison immunity out there. Didn't help that my Yuan-ti got slid into the abyss that are them pits on Drow Outpost. | |

| | I tried a simialer band vs a lawful good band, in the end I just wasn't able to hit the high AC of most of the figures. Although it was funny every time the sword archon tried to hit my spider but only to miss the concealment roll [:D] | |

| I think that everyone tries to use the HFO just because it is new and shiny and looks cool. Regardless, it only has a single attack, which just doesn't cut it when compared to the other quad hitters with multiple attacks.
Cheers,

| | The HFO looks really nice. One of the nicest minis out of Underdark in my opinion. | |

| | Someone who is somewhat like the HFO is wyyvern, and he actually has poison. Incited is somewhat of a drawback tho | |

| some of us have Orc Champs.. but not Half-Fiend Ogres (yet).
Im not sold on Poison bands. I see the appeal.. but it just puts a HUGE target on your non-fearless Drow Arachnomancer. The mobs that you most want to get poisoned are those that are most likely to make the save against poison (tho I did see a BPM poisoned tonite).
Its fun... make sure you trample the crap outta his models with the swarms. make him keep rolling.. he will fail saves. | |

| while we are talking about this i was wondering does the lolth's sting sleep poison get the comander effect of the Drow Aracnomancer?
if it does i am going to have to see about the Drow Aracnomancer in a drow 500pt army if trying to build. | |

No, since the commander effect speciefies creatures whose name contains spider, and whose type is vermin. Since the sting is not a vermin, and does not have spider in it's name, it does not get the commander effect. It also does not benifit from Venomous, as that speficially stats that it only applies to poisons that deal damage. | |
