| I'd go with the second one but drop a Halfling Wizard for another Gold Dwarf. They're tough and do a lot of damage. One Halfling Wizard and Aramil should be plenty.

What a cool format. Regdar would probably get dusted off......hmmmm....Regdar and uniques.....Stonchildren....Dwarf Phalanx Fighters guarding Halfling Wizards..... | |

| | I built a band with Regdar and all the uniques, in today's game they just don't stand a chance. I will probably drop eberk for Aramil and add a MAA for the leftover 3 pts. I will probably end up facing my own band though, my 10 year old plays in the tourneys as well an alot of times wants to run the same band that I do. Makes me have to get dupes of alot of rares, not that I mind that.[:p] | |

| I'd go with the 1st warband you have there. I think Eberk's spells would ultimately be more useful that Aramil's when facing other 20 point or other minis.
Sounds like a fun format. [:)] | | | |

| | How many viable commanders are there for such as format? I can only think of four; drow sergeant, redgar adventurer, snig the axe and cleric of Yondalla. Are there any others? | |

| Maybe a Kobold band with Dual Kobold Sorcerers . . . that might be interesting

| Wow. Just...wow. CG is in big trouble in that format. Literally CG's only option is Regdar, who's pretty weak in this setup in general. I don't envy whoever takes on the task of building a band around him without using Rikka or similar. Maybe War Drums will offer CG a few 10-19 point commanders for CG. Commander 1s and 0s for all I care, but the option should be there.
EDIT: To comment on the band itself, I would argue Aramil is every bit as valuable in this format as in any other. Reason: Cheap CE beaters. Abyssal Maw, most Orcs, etc. Aramil can get his Nerf Ray in on them and make a huge difference in this format. He fills a role nobody else can do well in this format, as Ethereal Filchers would be 10% of your warband if you used them -- and they're not LG anyway.
May I make a suggestion? Consider running the second Warband (the double Halfling Wizard one), but replace the second Halfling Wizard with a Warforged Fighter. Adamantine Laced 5 is a big deal in this sort of game. With the extra points (4 total) you can fit in a Hill Dwarf Warrior or similar.
The Medium Earth Elemental could also be a strong choice in 100/8 with 20 points maximum, and the Celestial Dire Badger is worth considering too; lots of resistances, good HP, acceptable melee power. Low AC hurts, but not a huge deal.
3 mages out of 6 activations is probably too much, while Aramil + Halfling Wizard would be just right with 3 melee figures and 1 commander (the CoY). It's good balance. | |

| Go for my favorite band that I've always wanted to try:
Ochre Jelly x5
Grick
And there's a 200 point variant under old rules:
Ochre Jelly x10
Grick x2 | |

If you're gonna do that you need snig to boost the small guys to 10 damage.
Some combination of WFF/aramil/earth shujenga would work well too methinks. | |

I know . . . but I was trying to stick with a strictly Kobold theme

| Well I went 4-0 and took a draw in the finals with the last person I had faced, there were some interesting match-ups. My hardest battle came when I had to face my son with the same exact army. He had me on points till I rolled crits on 2 of his Gold Dwarfs, he was not a happy camper. All was well when our organizer handed everyone an Epic Mordy card, he loves that figure and went nuts.
Thanks again for all the input. | |
