Massing Immortals

At 40 death gems each, 'tho, Wraith Lords aren't something to summon in bulk.

Vanheim's Fay Boars would also be an option.

Because they're _so_ useful in combat?

Supplies, and a free arrow bait that comes back (a long ways from the front lines). If Helheim could recruit them, I could see their usefulness, since Helheim has a supply problem caused by the mandatory death scale, but ....

Then again, go Death 3 with the other 2 vanheim themes, and I guess them hawgs could be handy.

You wouldn't. You'd summon a couple/few, and then have them summon other, cheaper, nasty critters.

If you're just using an army of Fay Boars I don't think the front lines will actually be that far from your capitol.

Well, the Fay Boars might make progress if used with Mass Flight; that day, pigs would fly.

Sorry, just had to.

(Pork: It's what's for dinner, every day and every night because our thrice-cursed quartermaster has fay boars. I guess it might be better than broth day in and day out.)

It'd be nice if Fay Boars were stealthy, so that they could be kept OUT of the combat when the army they're supplying goes into battle. You could then attach them to a stealth Vanahearse and they'd keep out of trouble, as opposed to stampeding into the emeny and getting killed by the flaming plasma death flying around.
