The Steel Dragons

Traits
Advantages
-Heed The Wisdom Of The Ancients (They have lots of casualties and  have been a round for quite a wile)
-Cleanse And Purify (They prefer to keep on the move)
Minor Disadvantage
-Have Pride In Your Colours (They are stubbornly proud and do not hide from the enemy, they strike like a hammer without warning but they would never hide)
Major Disadvantage
-Eye To Eye (They prefer to ‘drop in’ unannounced rather than career across the battlefield)

NOTE- the HS section is debatable, however until im officially told otherwise i will stick with it as there is nothing saying i cant have Venerable Dreads in HS. so please do not bring this up on this thread as ive heard pretty much all the arguments and they dont make sense to me

sorry if i seem obnoxious/close-minded

 Why replace Storm of...   okay, it's freaking Smite.   Why replace smite with Fury of the Ancients if you can have them both at the same points cost?  At least that's the way I'm reading it...

[-Makenshi-]

when you replace it you pay the first cost, not the second

this way at long range i use FotEW and when i get close ther SB and then my force weapon if need be in assault

[Invidious]

Really?  I always thought it was the first cost always for Codiciers, and the second cost always for Epistolaries.

[-Makenshi-]

well the first cost is for Any Librarian replacing 'Smite', the second is for the epistolaries second power (if he takes one)
