Eldgrim all the way. Maybe I just love Vikings. His movement bonus is great on MOST units, and with height he is a pain to deal with. I once played a game with him; he had height and I had the +1 Attack Glyph. 4 attack x2 from a little Viking..... was awesome. Just awesome.

Unfortunetly I don't remember what I rolled, hehe.

Re: Best Filler Units (30 pt or less)

depending on the rest of your team.
Isamu - 10 pts
good alrounder best agains jandar opponent. not against major X17 or gladiatrons

Marcu Esenwein - 20 pts
best on small battle fields 1 turn use to hold glyphs. (less change on enternal hatred)

Dumutef Guard - 25 pts
only when there is road and werewolves.

Swog Rider - 25 pts
Orc team

Eldgrim, The Viking Champion - 30 pts
human champion team. unique army team.
good for upgrade slowed uniques.

Guilty McCreech - 30 pts
The only one with ranged attack. on height a less powerfuller version of syvaris.

Kyntela Gwyn - 20 pts
Elf team.

Re: Best Filler Units (30 pt or less)

10 years between posts... that's some serious necromancy.

Isamu and Marcu are good end game figures. Guilty is a good clean up figure and Eldgrim can be used quite strategically. Swog rider, Dumutef and Kyntela are good with specific builds.

Marcu gets my vote. With 7 move and flying he gets around the board easy, and life drain with 6 life and 4 attack means he can last.

The poll and the question don't really line up, since the question in the OP asks what you would do with 30 points and explicitly asks if anything top Marcu + Isamu. Yet they are separated in the poll question.

I only looked, because I was curious what criteria we were using to define 'filler' And it appears as though you have 30 points remaining after a draft with your opponent.

So my definition means filler is just an add on to your army so no considering Knights/MacDirks with Eldgrim nor Arrows/DCs with Swog, nor even the bastions of competitive play deathknights with the Dumutef.

I am also going to assume you are only getting 1 choice of remaining figures and not a combo as the OP suggests.

Gwyn, Swog, and Dumutef are easily eliminated under those criteria. (Swog you could make a compelling case for in certain situations with 8 move....but still no)

That leaves: Marcu, Isamu, Guilty, Eldgrim

Map, glyph set, previous drafting all have dramatic changes on the answer.

I would personally put Isamu last on this list of remaining, because of his threat range per order marker. (7 compared to Marcu-8 + flight, Guilty-12, Eldgrim-11)

After that I would go with

#1 Marcu
#2 Guilty
#3 Eldgrim

It's pretty close though and again map/glyph/previous draft dependent.

In general though I think Marcu has more potential in a higher % of reasonable draft matchups than Guilty or Eldgrim, so that's my answer to this poll. Marcu Esenwein.

Spoiler Alert!

Re: Best Filler Units (30 pt or less)

The OP is so old I am assuming it was before the D&D waves... which offer the Sahuagin Raider, Drow Chainfighter, and maybe even wyrmlings or elementals as possible filler units and I know I have seen a few people who like the Drow Chainfighter... but I am not sure how well the D&D units really compare.

Re: Best Filler Units (30 pt or less)

The Chainfighter is pretty good. Nothing will ever top Isamu though. It's like asking who the best 80 point figure is--not a lot of debate in that arena. I'm looking at you, MacDirk Warriors!!

Best 80 point figure is Realin

I could be interesting to see what people think of all of the filler units. (D&D and otherwise) When I have 30 points leftover, I generally go for Guilty McCreech though. He can useful for taking early game potshots (as he runs to a glyph) or cleanup duty. Marcu runs a drawback power, and Isamu can be cornered. Plus, fewer cards overall.

My customs.
NE Ohio Tourney - TBA
SW Ohio Tourney - NHSD 550 points
