Newer Player, Playing home games so far havent thought of competitive yet. Just looking at how it fares. CE 196pts 7-Act 1x Ogre War Hulk 2x Blood Ghost Berserkers 2x Trog Thugs 1x Quagoth Slave 1x Bugbear Champ of Eurythnal (sp) Possible Changes: Adding a 4 Point Tile Grabber, Working in a Wardrummer in place of a Thug/Slave if possible. Playstyle: Cut and dry, thugs/slaves for fodder playing straight beat down. Magic plays hell with this band. LG 200pts 8-Act 1x Aspect of Moradin 1x Combat Medic 2x Gold Dwarf Soldiers 2x Dwarf Mercs 2x Axe Soldiers Playstyle: Using the dwarfyness of this band to get the bonus from Moradin. Using insane AC and healing to let Moradin do his work. I genearlly toss the dwarfs/axe out there in front staggered and use the holes to use range 2 to beat things silly with moradin. Keeping the medic back just far enough to +10 heal my field without healing theirs. Slapping in the +30s when needed.

Wardrummer is an autoinclude in CE warbands - I can't think of a warband you wouldn't want to put it in. Ogre War Hulk goes down too quickly - you oppenent should be able to manouver away from it farily easily. It more than paid for itself when I drew it in a sealed, but in constructed its not all that... Blood ghost berserkers - they go down far too quickly - not bad for what they are but not as efficent as they could be... I like the champ - but as the only commander, his rating of 2 is not enough - everything you have will run on a moral save -------- LG You don't have a tile grabber - you need one and the Warforged scout is so useful in that role Your other includes don't have enough hitting power - and on the teleport temple this warband would get out manouvered

It would be very unlikely for unlikely events not to occur. - J. A. Paulos "Innumeracy"

im no expert but i know the most about LG so i will comment You could possibly replace both dwarf mercaries for another gold dwarf or a sacred watcher then change one axe soldier to a aramil (really hurts beaters) and change the last axe soldier to a warforged scout and whatever 5 or six point fodder you want (depending on if you took gold dwarf or sacred watcher above)

PS. This is what the alphabet would look like if Q and R were removed hardinjmm: Frost-Bitten, there's more to life (and DDM) than LG! Frost-Bitten: More to life than LG... that is like saying there is more to Lucky Charms than the marshmallows!!!!!!!!

Sounds good, Like I said this is mainly for home games as we just started up. I dont have aramil or wardrumer yet, I am in process of trading some friends for some watchers that I planned on doing something with the axe guys with.

Good luck getting the figures you want. Take a look at the toolkits so you can keep an eye out for some other minis you might want later.
