The breath weapon is very good (25 damage and save -2) and could rout several creatures with one go.\u00a0 However, it does have to make a morale save and even with a <strong>Commander 4 Naga<\/strong> it will fail 35% of the time.\u00a0 Plus, it&#8217;s AC 16 won&#8217;t help much against any of the more powerful opposing creatures.\u00a0 The <strong>Cerebrilith<\/strong> at 65 points is similar to the <strong>Nessian Warhound<\/strong> at 62&#8230;both solid creatures, but too many points to consider for a non-premier mini.\u00a0 Plus, it&#8217;s prime ability <strong>Mind Thrust<\/strong> is <strong>DC 15 Negates<\/strong>, which seems too much of a risk against any decent target.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Guardian Naga<\/strong> at 47 seems an average if not extraordinarily efficient <strong>Commander<\/strong>.\u00a0 Like <strong>Cleric of Sune<\/strong>, her damage is underwhelming, though similarly she makes up for it with a good spell selection.\u00a0 <strong>Cure Critical Wounds<\/strong> on the <strong>Shadow Dragon<\/strong> could keep him in the fight a bit longer.\u00a0 Two <strong>Lightning Bolts<\/strong> will allow her to do some softening up, especially if the map is crowded like <strong>Keep of Fallen Kings<\/strong>.\u00a0 And <strong>Battering Ram <\/strong>seems a perfect disengage spell, assuming there is any of her team left to kill the disengaged creature.\u00a0 Her <strong>Death Burst<\/strong> is nice if she&#8217;s out of spells and needs to engage with her modest attack.<a href=\"http:\/\/playingwithmyself.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/guardian-naga-card.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-215 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/playingwithmyself.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/guardian-naga-card-218x300.gif\" alt=\"guardian naga card\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping <strong>Greater Barghest<\/strong> is as good as he looks for 35 points.\u00a0 Solid AC and HP, DR 5, a heal (Feed 10) and 2 magic attacks of 15 make him seem a pretty good bruiser.\u00a0 Plus, <strong>Disguise Self<\/strong> should ensure he gets to position well before pouncing, and maybe even lock up a victory area quickly.\u00a0 <strong>Gnoll Claw Fighter <\/strong>will see play only because he&#8217;s <strong>Fearless. <\/strong>His potential damage is high, though that will require a bunch of things to go right, as he probably only has 1-2 rounds to live in combat.\u00a0 Then of course there is the usual pile of dudes, several which are viable.<\/p>\n<p>I am not at all confident that the below is the best team due to the number of decent lower-cost creatures not being used.\u00a0 Plus, I am not comfortable with 8 activations, however I can&#8217;t see leaving any of the top 3 creatures out, which would be necessary to really squeeze much more in.\u00a0 If you see a better team in my packs, please drop me an email or put a note in the comments, as I&#8217;d be interested in seeing how others build this.<\/p>\n<table width=\"260\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"196\">Team<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">Points<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Large Shadow Dragon<\/td>\n<td>48<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Guardian Naga*<\/td>\n<td>47<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Greater Bargest<\/td>\n<td>35<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gnoll Claw Fighter<\/td>\n<td>24<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Drow Enforcer<\/td>\n<td>16<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Earth Mephit<\/td>\n<td>13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Deep Legionnaire<\/td>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Darkmantle<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Who I left Out<\/strong>:\u00a0 The <strong>Trained Carrion Crawler<\/strong> is likely the most obvious.\u00a0 Paralysis is so good; however, at 40HP and very little actual damage, I&#8217;m not sure how often paralysis would ever come into play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deep Legionnaire:\u00a0 Aye, it must be time for a grog now, isn&#8217;t it?
