I agree with Graeme... I think Turmoil -1 is an awful idea. Order +3 is almost a must with this race. You need cash for High Seraphs, and Seraphines. I also need cash for lots of castles, but I build more of the flying troops, which are resource heavy. It looks like your build won't use iceclads or stormguard much, so you may not need the castle cash. Mammoths are really expensive cash-wise, and I've found them invaluable when fighting heavily armored troops. Pair up mammoths with wingless (in a 1:4 ratio, approximately) and they're good to go. I agree with you about the meatshield thing though.... even after combining mammoths with wingless, they're a pretty "meh" meatshield.
A nice bonus of having Order +3 is that you can easily afford to take Misfortune -1; you rarely get random events, so misfortune doesn't hurt much. I've found that Misfortune -2 can be really painful, though.


I'm also in the "get rid of fire" camp; it doesn't really fit with the race. (I'm not talking aesthetics here.... it just doesn't seem to be a helpful path for these guys.) Astral is an interesting idea, though.... I may want to give that a whirl.

You may want to consider sacrificing Heart of Winter for a higher domain. You have stealthy priests (Seraphines) in case you really want to push your domain. (and thus, your cold)
