| I'm wondering what would be a good complement to this core:
Aspect of Hextor
Large Green Dragon
Warpriest of Hextor | |
Your outfit might not be a crime against humanity, but it is at least a misdemeanor | |

| | Half-Orc Executioners are my favorite Sneak Attackers and synergize fairly well with AoH and LGD. | | | |

| | The warpriest is too expensive and too squishy, as much as I like him. You don't really need to spend 52 points for the extra attack bonuses, and his spells are not worth the points, further hampered by his slow speed. | | | |

| | Eco, drop the WPoH. | |

To rip the boosters. To count the minis spilled out before you, and to hear the indifference of the women... | |

Those three are 178 points, which doesn't leave room for anything that could really take advantage of the flanking. I'd replace the Warpriest with Urthok the Vicious; his commander effect still gives you an attack bonus, and he costs 18 points less. I'd run this:
Urthok the Vicious (34 pts)
Aspect of Hextor (75 pts)
Large Green Dragon (51 pts)
Goblin Blackblade x2 (24 pts)
Gravehound (11 pts)
Timber Wolf (5 pts)
TOTAL: 200 points, 7 activations.
The Blackblades can use their sneak attacks against creatures adjacent to Hextor, as well as creatures that are stunned by the Gravehound (melee sneak attack works against stunned creatures, too). With Urthok's commander effect and the Green Dragon's Devious Strategist ability, the Blackblade's attacks will be +17 for 10 magic damage when flanking, or +19 against stunned creatures. Of course, the Timber Wolf grabs victory points.
If you want more activations you can simply remove the Gravehound, but you'll lose the synergy with the stun and sneak attack.
I hope this helps! [:D]

| Another recommendation to drop the Warpriest. The command effect may be nice but until your units are making that THIRD attack either Urthok or the Inspired Lieutenant will help just as much. Perhaps just as importantly, those other attack boosters work on the first swing when you may not get another.
If given the chance, I'd see many opponents giving you an AoO instead of letting you base with the AoH for the flanking bonus. | |
