| | I have seen this warband two days ago and it works really well.I dislike the eagles because they are not very good.I would prefer another dol-dorn (removing the raistlin and adding a lot of farmers).I have seen the dire boar version,where the dol dorns are both mounting dire boars.Pick a pit map for sure | |
LOVE THIS GIRL | |

| The core is good. But you have too few activations. Dump one bird (and maybe both) to max out acts.
As a tilegrabber, consider dog=iron defender.
Fodder would be Farmers and Merchant Guards fo additional protection. | |

YES it did
the dual CODD hit from any where from:
+17 for 20 (base)
+19 for 25 (if enemy is evil)
+21 for 35 i(f EB is adjacent)
+21 for 45 (if using feat of str is used)
The EB is awsome and hits well also +17 for 20
Rastlin is the best sniper i know of
and the giant eagles +13 for 15 on a flyby to a victory square
I might try replacing the two giant eagles for something else but i don't know what | |

Never had a problem with low act's before i don't see the use of having more if the pieces are just filler the eagles have 2 flyby attack each and rastlin can hit anything he can see | |

I didn't quote, sorry.
You wrote that you didn't know what to replace the eagles with. These are the best choices. | |

Activation control is still an issue though. And filler in 2.0 is a lot better than it used to be in 1.0.
Personally, I'd replace both eagles with an Iron Defender, a Merchant Guard and 3 Kobold Archers. This adds up to 9 activations, 198 points, and all are useful.
I never saw the use for Farmers myself. They are cheap for 3 points, but quite useless.

| | Yeah unless the fast attack options provided by the eagles are specifically necessary you might consider breaking them into 4 merch guards and a farmer? especially since you can redirect hits to the guards to counter attack ftw :P the only Issues I could ever see this band having is with ranged threats chewing through too many guards or getting too many free shots sometimes... its all luck though cause these guys are monsters... | | | |

| Paladin is blue and Blade is red. Also, Elf Archer is green and blue. Be glad no one noticed:-)
Keep Raistlin and add Merchant Guards and Farmers. If the points wotk out, you can add Kobold Archer for 6, but shoot for max activations first.

Just like your previous Halfling Pally build it is illegal. Elf archers are wild and Civ, EB is Borderlands
if anything you might wanna put two CoDD on Thundertusks and fill up with farmers and if possible merchant guards. | |

| I find it really hard not to use a wildmage when in borderlands...
Eb 54
dol dorn x2 84
wildmage 29
Merch guard x2 16
iron defender 8
farmer x3 9
10 acts with the ranged pain of the wild mage, a tile grabber, and 2 bodyguards... Wildmage + warhorse instead of bodyguard/dog = first turn nuke...

Arcane Archer 30, Centaur Hero 67, Human Cleric of Bane 25, Gold Champion 34, Death Knight 52, Goblin Blackblade 9, Silentwolf Goblin 7, Orc Raider 10, Dwarf axefighter 9, Healer 9, Thaskor 65, Aspect of Demogorgon 71, Ogre 9, Fire Giant 79, Human Wanderer 7, Drunken Master 18, Barghest 12, Longstider Barbarian 27, Longtooth Barbarian 22, Frost Giant 76, Ravenous Vampire 42, Large Earth Elemental: priceless | |
