Warband Building: Firegiant Forgepriest

This giant has come to prominence since the release of it in the Blood Wars Set.

In my testing, I have come up with the following support for this figure:


Commanders:

Human Blackguard 46pts. Commander 6
Urthok the Vicious 34pts. Commander 5
Rakshasa 41pts. Cmd. 4
Half-Orc Fighter 21pts. Cmd. 3
Red Hand War Sorcerer 34pts. Commander 3
Snig the Axe 20pts. Commander 0
Kobold Sorcerer 20pts. Commander 0 (magic weapon)

Second/third hitters:

Darkmoon Monk 15pts (actually tech: magic weapon x4)
Soulknife Infiltrator 24pts
Green Dragon 28pts.
Duergar Champion 33pts.
Dragonmark Heir of Deneith 34pts.
Chraal 35pts.
Zakya Rakshasa 36pts.
Bluespawn Stormlizard 39pts.
Maug 41pts.
Efreeti 42pts.
Helmed Horror 45pts.
Justicator 48pts.
War Troll 69pts.

Foddler:

Kobold Miner 3pts.
Goblin Skirmisher 3pts.
Goblin Warrior 3pts.
Greenspawn Sneak 6 pts.
Acheron Goblin 7pts
Poison Dusk Lizardfolk 7pts.

Maps:

The two maps that have shown great results (especially with two large bases) have been:

Tomb of Queen Peregrin
Field of Ruin

Now, if there is only the Firegiant forgepriest (large base) in the band, then the following maps would be good:

Kings Road
Dragonshrine

Possible Bands: You will find a few that I have poste in the Lawful Evil Warband forum but I will list a couple here as well.

1.
Firegiant Forgepriest
Urthok
Duergar Champ x2
Timber Wolf x2
Goblin Skirmisher x2

2.
Firegiant Forgepriest
Human Blackguard
Efreeti
Snig
Goblin Skirmisher x3
Poison Dusk Lizardfolk

The possibilities are endless. If there was a way to get a cheaper version of magic weapon, blur etc that would make this figure even more powerful. Until then, we have to keep tinkering around.

Excellent article. Very well done.
