Hee Hee I have to admit I am often very guilty of not dropping in notes about tactics, mostly because I'm usually in a hurry when I am posting stuff. Actually, I'm not really sure which doctrine would be better for the griffon army, I guess Spirit of the Mountain, but it might be a real advantage to deploy Sigurlam's troop last, so I can see using Legendary Warriors, although once the game began your only Elite is Brock, so I can't imagine him using Provoke. I figured you would like that, I just cut and pasted directly from our Overlord conversation.

You might want to also include the intended Doctrine for your lists and well as general thoughts regarding the strategy to be employed with them.

I would use them on a flank instead of the main assault.

Yeah, way to go.

Getting rid of the X-bowmen frees up quite a few points, although you have to make the most of them if you are giving up the ability to make ranged attacks. I still think you might be better off going with a couple meatier troops rather than three. If you are worried about giving up the initiative card you could always buy a book of tactics. If I was going character heavy with no ranged attacks I'd juggle your list a little: Overlords - 1000 points(Lich's Bidding Doctrine) Troop 1 Ashkrypt, Lichlord of Craclaw +Familiar Ranthe, Evangelist of Khardullis Ymrilix the False x 2 (two is better than one) Overlord Warrior x 4 Bondslave x 4 Troop 2 Thurion, Blackguard Balthon, Priest of Khardullis Overlord Warrior x 4 Bondslave x 4 Troop 3 Onyx Golem +Luck Stone An alternative would be to drop the luckstone and Golem, and add Xailor and another bond slave. I really like Xailor, although i might just be that I love his sculpt. OR Drop the Golem, and add 3 warriors, 3 bondslaves and a book of tactics I like that build but with what I have bought I came up with this.

Thanks I like that perspective I was keeping the shooters together for locked shields, otherwise the mix and match theory makes great sense. Frank

You believe this will be more successful than keeping Kevis and Moria?
