Besides, I think now that the “AGs rely on Swogs” view is outdated and unoptimized. AGs with Mimring is a fantastic dragon build, and might be the best of all 3 (Nilf/GWs, Quahon/Spiders).

There’s a few reasons this works and when you look at the 500pt builds for each dragon build, you can start to see why.

185 Nilfhiem
365 Greenscale Warriors x3
445 Raelin the Kyrie Warrior
495 Marro Warriors (16 spaces)

190 Quahon
350 Fyorlag Spiders x4
430 Raelin the Kyrie Warrior
480 Marro Warriors
500 Marcu Esenwein (20 spaces)

150 Mimring
350 Arrow Gruts x5
430 Raelin the Kyrie Warrior
480 Marro Warriors
500 Marcu Esenwein (23 spaces)

Moving down from Nilfy/GWs, each army gives up some attack and defense along with Dragon durability* for move, range, threat range, and numbers. In a game where attacking first, and at range, is favorable, these are ok sacrifices.

It’s also notable that Quahon/Spiders and Mimi/AGs are able to add in Marcu as a Wannok soaker, keeping themselves, Raelin, and their squads safe unlike Nilfy and his army. Significant as the GWs have the least figures already.

*This is actually directly countered by the point after. Attacking from farther range means a safer Dragon, and a safe Dragon is greater than a durable Dragon.
