Greetings Dicers,

Since there isn't a "Introductions" folder this will have to do :)

I'm a new convert to Dragon Dice, having learned it at GameStorm 13 with the help of Dave, Jace, and Kaitlin. Dragon Dice has just the right mix of interesting iconography, interesting tactics and strategy, and blurry childhood nostalgia (Although I hazard a guess I was younger than most of you when it came out - Hence the blurryness). My first real (Non-Demo) taste of Dragon Dice Battle was the first ever Dragon Dice Sealed Draft that happened at GameStorm. It's nice to meet you all (and to finally stop lurking - which is what I've been doing on the forums for the past week or so).

So, I'd really like your help, I'm working on an army with what I have on hand, which isn't much, but is probably enough;

I Mainly Have Frostwings - 4 kickers worth. They are;

x6 Common Heavy Melee - Advocates
x2 Uncommon H.M. - Defenders
x3 Rare H.M. - Vindicators

x3 Common Light Missile - Attackers
x2 Uncommon Light Missile - Assaulters

x1 Common Cavalry - Hound Master
x1 Uncommon Cavalry - Wolf Master

x5 Common Heavy Missile - Destroyers
x2 Uncommon Heavy Missile - Dispatchers
x1 Rare Heavy Missile - Devastator

x1 Common Magic - Apprentice
x1 Uncommon Magic - Magus
x1 Rare Mag... Just kidding.

x2 Wolf Packs
x2 Yetis

I also have some Lava Elves.

x2 Common H.M. - Bladesmen

x1 Uncommon Cavalry - Scorpion Knight

x2 Uncommon Missile - Dead-Shots
x1 Rare Missile - Assassin

x4 Common Magic - Adepts
x2 Uncommon Magic - Warlocks

Lastly, a Starter's worth of Amazon

x1 Uncommon Heavy Melee - Warrior
x1 Rare Heavy Melee - War Chief

x1 Common Light Melee - Runner
x1 Uncommon Light Melee - Envoy

x1 Common Cav - Charioteer
x1 Uncommon Cav - Battle Rider

x3 Common Magic - Seers

x1 Medusa

So far I've been doing Missile heavy Frost Wings filling out with my two magic units for the chance of magic negation, we have been playing 24 point games because we don't have enough dice to make 36 point games meaningful (smaller point games make for more tactical decisions in army composition when you don't have many dice to start with.)

I'd love to hear what any of you would do with these dice and these dice alone :)

Also, To be fair, Tomorrow I'll post my friends dice and see what feedback you can give him.

Thanks,
Elyiot :)

WELCOME!

ok thats out of the way...

so 24 health? I haven't played that in a LONG time, but there if goes...

You could make a couple different armies with that group of dice... You could do half magic (which is common), but it would be split over 3 races... I would do a different route with this army.


I'm going to recommend a missile army,but slightly different than what you have been playing. However, you could also make a nice melee army and just goto town.

If you have a starter, I know you have atleast one of each terrain color. For my design the 8th face won't matter much. So your coastland (the bluegreen) will go at your home. If its a tower its even better.

Home - Coastland
x2 Common Heavy Missile - Destroyers
x1 Rare Heavy Missile - Devastator
x1 Rare Missile - Assassin
x1 Medusa

Campaign - Flatland
x1 Common Heavy Missile - Destroyers

Horde
x3 Common Light Missile - Attackers
x1 Common Cavalry - Hound Master
x1 Common Cav - Charioteer
x1 Uncommon Cavalry - Wolf Master
x1 Uncommon Cavalry - Scorpion Knight
x1 Uncommon Cav - Battle Rider


Basically I'm focusing on the SAI's. The Medusa is both a nice missile and melee monster, but she can shoot at some terrains from the reserves (being an amazon).

Thanks for the advice, I'll try your build out today when I play. It turns out I do have a coast land tower, so lucky me.

Anyone else have advice or recommendations?
