| If the Arcane Ballista is based, it's worthless. If you decide to go with it, make sure to choose a map from which you can place it in a very defensible position very early on with great lines of sight.
If you have a Couatl, I suggest one of your "filler" be a Mephling Pyromancer. The Pyromancer can give the Arcane Ballista Flight 8, can fire the ballista (along with an Aramil, or Mailee...) AND the Pyromancer benefits from the same good line of sight.
Good luck! | |

| Not bad on paper. Just make sure your filler is spellcasters that can pilot the Ballistas. I'm more of a fan of more melee oriented designs just because of the off chance of speedy fliers. Most Dragons can base the ballista and make it impotent very quickly. Something to think about.

| I tried this band tonight:
Aspect of Moradin (E)
Justicator (E)
Iron Golem
Coautl
Warforged Scout
Man at Arms x2
I played this band twice vs
Ryld
Fomorian
Warduke (E)
Large Red Dragon
Wardrummer
Orc Warrior x2
Quaggoth Slave
My opponent picked the teleport temple. God I hate that map. Coautl died fast both times. Lots of bad rolls first game. Aspect of Moradin performed very well. A couple of times I was able to clear a path with a ranged attack, then move throught the recently vacated space.
Justicator did well enough, but rarely was able to use all the swift heals. Once combat joined, he went down (or routed thanks to the wardrummer) pretty fast. Smite Chaos +20 x2 was awesome.
Iron Golem is too slow. There is really nothing better to replace him with though. For his cost, you can't beat his Fearless HP, +21 attack bonus, 25 damage with spell resist all and immune fire. I think the core band for an AoM will tend to contain these (esp the justicator). Would have loved to been able to include a sacred watcher. oh well.
