Air Elementals are good against Small or Medium non-flying/leaping/grappling/tunnelling melee units. That's about it, and that's a pretty darn small niche of units. Anything that's big, or that fly or shoot owns them, leaving what's behind them unprotected.

If I was playing Kurrok, or drafting against those units I talk about above, I could see including up to 2 Air Elementals. Against other stuff, I'm going a different direction.

A super-sweet thematic unit though, to be sure.
There's one problem with your assumption. The Air Elemental gets a bonus against flying units so while they may be able to engage them they still have to fight against that bonus that they have against them.
If I have the flying figure, I'm probably not worried about subtracting one from my defense dice if the Naders (you know, like Tor-Naders) attack me.

If the Air Elementals have Kurrok, they could get 3 attacks of 3 against my flying figures with me rolling one less defense on their next turn, if I didn't kill the Air Elementals. The thing is though, if they used Earth or Fire, they could get 3 attacks of 4 (and Searing Intensity if they use Fire). 3 Attacks of 4 at normal defense is better for the attacker than 3 attacks of 3 at -1 defense (I think that's a true statement, at least most of the time). If they use Water, they don't have to engage and still might get 3 attacks of 4 if they have height/water.

If they don't have Kurrok, then I'm not worried at all because the Naders probably don't have OMs. And, if they do, they only get one attack of 3. I'm cool with that.

We really need chief to upload those pics into the Gallery so it can stay in the Book.

Agreed. Chief logged in today, so he must be around. Did you PM him?

Looking for a way to get casual players involved in Heroscape? Do your opponents lack the interest or knowledge to build/draft their own armies? If so, check out Project 500!

chief is working at a camp, so he's only around and online for brief spurts. Hopefully he'll get to it soon.

Yeah, I talked to him, and he will update it soonish. Whenever he can get the time. (I'm assuming it's after the camp is done, I think.)
