I like it! Should be loads of fun. There are of course less favourable matchups but you know that already.

With regards to tinkering, I would consider flamebanner on the witches. They may get stuck fighting a dragonbane character but on the other hand, they will also do well against trolls and other regen. Mortis engines are uncomped now for instance.

Dropping a pair of warlocks, a shade and their GWs will get you close to another RBT. Not sure you need or want it but a full quad is always nice to have.

Dark magic is nice but since the sorc is L2 u cant be too sure to get the good stuff. She will probably go with the warlocks anyways so you might want to look at lores with signature spells that complement the dragons more directly. For instance, Iceshard blizzard from Heaven will reduce effectiveness of incomming shooting and cc whilst also increasing the chances of causing terror on the charge. Could work.


Please get a few games with it and let us know how it plays! I may have to paint up another dragon myself...

Looks fun, but two dragons beat face hard too.

I dont know if 2 warlocks do enough for 50pts and a pool choice, but its not a matter of life and death...

For their points you could get that flame banner, and charmed shield for the first dragon lord. He will be the first one to eat cannon ball.

For what I've experienced small units of shades are not so good with gw than ahw. Gw in small number is a bit unreliable with low amount of attacks, and small unit cant take on any unit that you would need S5.

I dont know if obsidian trinket would do a lot. If you drop 2 warlocks you got points to take something better. IC icon would also be nice small addition to MR1, since mage rides with DR. Helps with hellblasters etc. One thing too, you could add champions to your units, because meta is character heavy

With 50p from you could get 2DR and a flame banner too..

I counted 5 choices:
Mounted dreadlord - 1
Lore of death - 2
RBTs - 1
5 warlocks - 1

That list looks nice however, I will make my own variant of from that. Maybe make DR cheaper and add a unit of shades :). And I dont know if that halberd on lord is just typo, no point to have it...

More than1200 in characters is a slot.
Halberd is for high magic. If you have better ideas for 2 points, I will buy you a beer;)
