I am building a frostwing army and need some help. I have bought about six Frostwing kickers and got some great dice, just a limited amount of magic therefore causing me to have to dual race the army. I have lots of the basic races and can pull magic from these to help but I am not sure what race would be best suited to compliment this army. I do have the blue/black hybrid dragons and numerous single color dragons but only one ivory and no white. Looking for a med size army. More for casual play than tournament. Any and all suggestions appreciated. Terrain suggestions if possible as well. Thanks

w/o knowing what frostwing units you have makes it a little hard... do you have a mish-mash or missile or maneuver or melee?

but it sounds like you are in need of magic support for your army...

Frostwings tend to play at standing stones because of their racial ability of only being able to double magic there... however if you don't have frostwing mages then you are free to go anywhere.

typically people try to match a color in the armies they make, but thats not a hard rule. It really depends on what you want to do. since we are talking magic, what kind of spells do you like to cast? I'm partial to red/black since they are both offensive, so lava elf mages would be good.

however gold and blue would give you feral which is another good combo.

So, let me know what frostwings you have that total 18 health and I can recommend what 18 health of mages I would put with them.

Also list what Frostwing mages you do have. I often build armies with two different races. My favorite combo with Frostwings is Goblins. SO an army with all your Frostwing mages, and fill in the 18 health of mages with Goblins should work pretty well.

Since the Lava Elves can cast burning hands and open grave, a melee heavy army works well. You can throw in some Frostwing light missile troops for some extra saves. The Remorhaz is a good monster to use, as is the Wolf Pack.

Whether to use single color or hybrid dragons is a personal choice. However, since black magic can be doubled at any terrain, I'd say stick with some sort of black dragon.

I've had luck in the past (including a World Championship army) with Frostwings and Coral Elves. People spent a lot of time trying to figure out what the army could do; by the time they figure it out, it was usually too late.

Thanks for all the great ideas. This has given me some great places to start and run with. Keep them coming.
