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.

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. if the outlaws (cowboys) get a bonding then this one will be my number 1 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. |

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!!

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.
