1x- Ryld Argith

1x- Thri-Kreen Barbarian

1x- Frenzied Berserker

1x- Deepshadow Elf

1x- Aramil, Adventurer

1x- Xeph Warrior

Heres my thinking behind it, ryld will when init. and then Thri-Kreen will paralyze the opponent, then frenzied can go in and do double damage to the opponent, and aramil, i just like the rays of enfeeblement, and i like deepshadows ranged and melee sneak attacks.

So you like this band, huh? Well, I don't. Just kidding:) I really enjoy the idea of doing 60 damage per swing with the FB, and Ryld is a solid piece in my book, as even he can 'bring it' if he has to. However, you ought to revise your support. Ditch that Deepshadow and Aramil for some Greycloaks+Wolf Minions to help with the pathetic activations. As is, I'm giving you a 2/5. However, I just hate the support; the Ryld+Barbarian+Beserker would get a 4 with better back-up:)

I would do that but i dont have a single graycloak. Im looking for a piece that could give me magic weapon for the Thri to. I know there is the halfling wizard but i dont have him either. Any suggestions?

Ryld plus Disruptive Thri-Kreen Barbarian equals no +8 to initiative until after TKB is in combat, by which time it's too late. Having the TKB negating Ryld and few activations will give your opponent control of the early game. Basically you should give up one or the other (Ryld or TKB) if you want to maximize either.

I normally wouldn't recommend her but Mialee (Arch-un-unique) is only 6 points and gives you one Magic Weapon and one Magic Missle spell. She is otherwise unspectacular but is the lowest cost option to get MW in either LG or CG. In comments on a two TKB band I recommend this a fodder piece who's basic job is to make sure one of the TKB got a Magic Weapon in the first turn before it ran away from the rest of its support.

I have to say that as much as I love Ryld, I feel a CG warband featuring Ryld probably shouldn't use any creature with Disruptive and needs support units like the Wild Elf Raider to optimize Ryld's CE and Improved Initiative. Very creative, though, considering I'm still trying to find a solid CG build for Ryld. :)

Since when's the TKB Disruptive?! Damn, I really need to start paying more attention to those spoilers:) Okay, sorry, Fleegal, but the synergy is terrible, so I've gotta go thumbs down on this one. And Mialee isn't terrible if you're in a pinch for a low cost MW; Nobody's advice is good advice, so listen up.

Good idea to waste Rylds initiative with the three-kreen. 1/5.
