Warbands V
Aaron Blasdell's Blackened Sky (CG; 200 pts)
The Crow Shaman focuses on cats gracing until in combat then on swifting the elves when needed. Evermeet summons the wolves for screening, casts her armor and then focuses on placing her acid arrows in just the right spot. (if a Half-elf is ever based then she gets to swap it for a wolf instead of course)
- Arcane Archer
- Half-Elf Bow Initiate x2
- Evermeet Wizard
- Wolf x6
- Crow Shaman
Arcane Archer clears chaff and screeners so the elves don't have to waste any of their damage on 5 hp mooks and tries to stay alive. Half-elves full attack as often as possible (through evermeet swapping or waiting to activate) otherwise fall back and do a 15 damage ranged attack.
This band is weak in melee and thus should strive to whittle them down as much as possible before they arrive. With good placement you should get 2-3 rounds of full attacks before they can get through your screen and base your Half-elves after those 2 rounds of full attacks from transportation.
At this point, if fire was focused properly, they should be weak enough to finish off.
Strong against: Slow enemies, Low hp enemies, Low AC enemies
Weak against: Fast Melee enemies, DDoor Melee enemies

Hi! So far we're still awaiting the first few boxes of Aberrations so I haven't had the chance to playtest this. Will post the results after I've gone a few rounds with it.
I'm hoping for a little more performance from this set up than the one using GC's. Given that the Dragons will take more hits to bring down, Conceal might be a more efficient approach than the standard AC buff. Then again, there's Aramil.
**would have loved to slip Rakshasa into the formula just to get the "Crouching Tiger" added to the warband's name...
DrFiendish's Silver Tank (200 pts; LG)
- Large Silver Dragon
- Exorcist of the Silver Flame
- Warforged Hero
- Man-at-Arms
Not having played with the Silver Dragon for a couple of months I sat down and created a number of warbands that included LGs #1 tank. This is the first.
