Combine that with the two Fen Lords’ ability to pull enemies in and melee, the Dryad’s ranged abilities, and I ended up with a pretty well rounded army and enough points left over for some relics and an Ancient One.

I also really liked having three Prowlers in this build since they generally end up destroyed pretty quick, as most opposing players will attack them first because of their Caustic Spray attack and their passive ability which gives them a 5 point damage-over-time for three rounds after they move. The three Prowlers are so mobile though that I wan’t too worried about getting out maneuvered. With three Titans (Fen Lord, Wildwood Dryad, and Fend Lord) and three Ogres (all Prowlers), this is a big army. Once I finally got my mental gears switched over though I actually ended up putting two different armies together that I played with. Having a large pool of points to spend might not sound like a big deal, but it can make it harder to build good synergies in when you have a larger number of units. I had some trouble initially putting an army together since I hadn’t put together a large build in a couple of months. So game scenarios are usually designed with a certain amount of units in mind, and it also helps to make sure that teams are evenly matched. If you’re not familiar with miniatures war games, every unit has a point cost to it. We used 100 point armies rather than the usual 500. Only four of us could makes it, which is about half as many people as usually show up, but it was enough to have two games running.
