Warbands III

Zardnaar's Orcs (200 pts; CE)

  • Eye of Gruumsh
  • Tiefling Captain
  • Orc Champion x3
  • Orc Warrior x6
Simple efficent beatdown with 4 heavy hitters with speed 8-9. Cleave your way to victory.

Zardnaar's Orc Trifecta (200 pts; CE)
  • Eye of Gruumsh
  • Tiefling Captain
  • Orc Champions x2
  • Drider Sorceror
  • Cursed Spirit
  • Orc Warriors x5
More Orc beatdown with the Drider added for additional tricks and a single oh so annoying cursed spirit. Can easily flank with the Cursed Spirit to get the Eye of Gruumsh's attack up to +17 or +15 for the Orc Champions and give them -2 on saving throws.

Also if (when) archery bands become popular with Aberrations odds are the Greycloak Rangers will be teamed up with Half Elf Bow initiates and the Valenar Commander so running Orc Champions over Ogre Ravagers gives you a slight edge and the speed 9 helps you get into melee that much faster.

WakeXX's Ready, Aim, Fire! (200 pts; CG)
  • Valenar Commander
  • Crow Shaman
  • Aasimar Favored Soul
  • Half Elf Bow Initiate x2
  • Graycloak Ranger x2
  • Wolf (minion) x2

WakeXX's RAF Take 2 (200 pts; CG)

  • Valenar Commander
  • Crow Shaman
  • Half Elf Bow Initiate x2
  • Graycloak Ranger x2
  • Wolf (minion) x2
  • Aramil, Adventurer
  • Elf Spearguard

WakeXX's Curses! (200 pts; LE)

  • Mindflayer
  • Half-Elf Hexblade x2
  • Destrachan x2
  • Bladebearer Hobgoblin x2
  • Blue

NewtonCain's CE Beat Down (500 pts; LG)

  • Huge Gold Dragon
  • Large Silver Dragon
  • Purple Dragon Knight
  • Eberk, Adventurer
  • Gnome Fighter x 2
  • Cleric of Yondalla

Eberk casts magic weapon on the LSD, then casts divine protection and stays back to help guard the Cleric of Yondalla. The Cleric of Yondalla and the Gnome Fighters stay together and in LOS of the LSD.

The LSD and HGD double team whatever you are going to kill first.

PDK hangs back to use fear cone on LSD if it should rout, or fear cone anything nasty that tries to get a back door attack.

Mystereez's Double Trouble (200 pts; CG)

  • Frenzied Berserker x2
  • Crow Shaman
  • Favored Soul
  • Inspiring Marshal
  • Nebin, Gnome Illusionist
  • Gnome Recruit

This band has enough healing to make it to the frontlines. Favored Soul will hopefully cause several stuns while the Crow Shaman assists by giving the ladies extra attacks. Nebin is included for his blur spell. The Marshal is in there to give them a free move, to get in place for a full attack. Although this band only has one commander, because the two berserkers are fearless they are the heart of the warband and will not have to worry about running off the board.

Chris Grove's Orcupado (200 pts; CE)

  • Eye of Gruumsh
  • Orc Champion x4

Simple as that.... ( now try to find 4 OC's ...hehe )

Dan Montoya's Fire and Stone (200 pts; LE)

  • Medusa
  • Human Blackguard
  • Gauth
  • Baaz Draconian x8
  • Azer Raider

Gaddzook's Displaced Aggression (100 pts; LE)

  • Human Blackguard
  • Displacer Beast x2

I judge alot of events, so don't spend too much time playing. I did however come up with this band before going online to maxminis and other sites. So at least in my circle of friends it is "my" band. Mostly because I was the first person with 2 Beasts... hehe.
