This army is pretty straight forward. Tythania flys solo blasting whatever comes within range. There are 2 formations containing 1 Regal Skymage and 2 Frost minions each. Launch a grand attack on some poor formation or two, and cast Heirramon Host. The Domain should handle the possibilit of a heavy counterstrike, considering it nullifies surge. Also Tythania doesn't have to worry so much about being tied up if she's on the ground because the domain also nullifies double-time.

It's brutal, yet simple and effective. I love it.

and subfaction pure to boot. Not to mention really theme-ish. These are the armies I live to play against

The EL fanboy in me is doing somersaults out of sheer joy! Things could get hairy, however, if you ran into something like Khan Rava, or another high-powered Bounder that could rival Tythania and deal some serious hurt to your relatively slow (10" tops) melee guys. Sky Dragons could similarly hurt, as they out-Charge out, and you no longer have DT to tie them up.

Yeah, I considered that. Tythania can take a pretty mean shot and be able to shoot back just as hard, if not harder and I think I would want to keep the healer behind her should it actually happen. If something like an EL skydragon does happen to rear its ugly head, I tend to keep all of my figures well within striking distance of each other. A MC/C might be able to hit 1 guy hard or 2 figs not quite so hard, but all my figures have an easy break, other than the Acolyte, and I'll have 5 (max possibly 8 if I choose to bust out Heirramon host) actions to play with worth of pure charge figures, all with an attack value of 10 (plus gang-up). 2 good hits from these guys should do away with most dragon riders.

Heck, I even made sure the Acolyte has a little bit of oomph at range with Ratheal's Hammer.
