How does this sound for a non-tournament 200 pt (8 mini limit) constructed warband? Stinky Beholder Beholder Troglodyte Captain Troglodyte Barbarian x2 Skeletal Equiceph Warrior Skeleton Possible variant: replace Skeletal Equiceph with two Troglodytes Tactics: advance the Equiceph, healing it with the Beholder as needed. Once the enemy is engaged, try to get as many enemies affected by Stench as possible, and proceed to eyeball them to death. Trog Captain can survive in melee, thanks to high AC, but his damage output is pathetic, so he should stay behind and just make sure his commander effect pays off.

I don't think the Equiceph will last long enough, even with healing. Against high-damage figures, it'll be eliminated in one hit. You can't do enough damage, except for the Beholder, to scare many bands. Dave

Oh well. I figured the damage output was too low but was hoping the Beholder could make up for it. I guess I'll go with Beholder + Soth + filler.

Re: Equiceph I had high hopes for this guy as well as he is a great blocker and is undead and is cheap. I though he might complement the Big B really well. But as Vreck points out he tends to take a dirt nap quicker then you can heal him ... He can make a good complement to Chraal's but thats about it.

You should try sticking in a Dark Naga and stench. That'd be DC 21.

I like the idea.. but its too much of a stretch to use an expensive commander to bring in pieces from another faction with an expensive piece. Naga, double gauth, Duergar beaters and fodder.. Id take the autodamage instead of the die roll (which everyone complains they dont get anywhere near 5% disintegrates)
