Thug Commanders

Yeah, that's about what I thought about for them. Thanks Rytek.

My favourite thugs are the Kings of the deep with whatever gear is available and golems with stymphalian wings/boots of stone and dual shields. Big fan of harbringers too. Baalz eiru thugs are fantastic too. I also like to thug out knights of ulm and marignon just because it is thematic and fun to have heroes that are less "über".

Now is there any viable unmounted human thug chassis? I´d love to play a startegy based on ordinary human thugs. Packs of tough little heroes that you can really relate to.

I've had moderate success doing this as Ulm. (MA). Equipment is cheap enough to forge that it can be worth it.

You might try LA TC's battle mages, they are recruitable everywhere, rather tough, and have some interesting magic paths that allows for some creative combinations. They really need an earth bless though since they are old and come with some heavy innate gear. They certainly would not qualify as top-notch thugs, but with the right gear and spells, they would make tough little humans and quite thematic - the roving band of mystic master outlaws...

Hoburgs actually make quite good thugs, if I remember correctly. Stunningly high defense and small size can protect them from pd adequately.

Sleeper from Kingmaker. A thug, who with help from elephants, kills the harbinger and air elemental summoned by a mage not in the picture. Sleeper needs friends to kill stuff.







Here is an SC from Fallacy:









Here is my pretender from Alpaca. This Gorgon is a SC.

Holy magic paths, Batman!

The short answer is no, no viable human thug chassis. They are just too fragile. I suppose if you wanted to mess around vs the AI you could do something with MA mans Wardens. Give them E9/NX bless, or a W9,E9,N4 bless. Group them with some warden troops and a friar and you have a nasty stealth raiding group. Add in some of those stealth mothers for protection buffs for added fun. Then you can really do some funky stuff. Try a warden with a serpant dagger, vine shield, Horned helmet, chi boots--all items that you have gem income for and at const level 2. If you get some earth gems you can add bracer of protection and girdle of might.
