       Hi guys,
       I currently play two IS BG's a fairly successful constructs BG
       and a far less successful Pally BG.
       Happy to discuss ways to improve my or your IS BG!
       Kind regards

       I have played all 8 factions and have a good grasp on all of
       them,
       if you need assistance, post your deck up here with what you are
       trying to accomplish with the BG (a rush pally BG, turtle Pally
       bg e.c.t.) and we can advise on what would work and what wouldnt
       :) (and take from that what you will! :))
       Also
       TROLLS (Rock Defiance) BGs are at the top of IS at the moment

       Hi guys thanks for the offers to suggest help with my Pally BG.
       Tactics normally revolve around using the cheaper more resilient
       champs to contend or grab side fonts (Crusader, Vengeant knight
       or NCT) and using the stronger champs (Euan, Magnus, Charger
       Knight or Arch Angel) backed up by the angels (for cleansing,
       healer and righteous shield) to take the fight to the center
       font/enemy shrine.
       Hording Nora when possible to setup a power turn using the
       double damage that Baneblast inflicts upon stunned champs by
       getting one or two champ stunned (Stunning recursion +
       Hammerstrike) and then dropping Baneblast.
       Currently running the following:
       17 Champs
       2 X Angel of Mercy (Intensify & Cleansing Aura)
       2 X IS Angel (Deflect & Trail)
       1 X Arch Angel (Scale Armour & Blessed)
       1 X Charger Knight (Crushing Charge & Loyalty)
       1 X Crusader (Trail & Thirst)
       1 X DMC (Burn & Knock-back)
       1 X Dwarven Sergeant (Scramble & Readiness )
       1 X Euan (Surge & Impenetrable)
       1 X Magnus (Distract & Punish)
       1 X Ironfist Agent (Shatter & Shadowspawn)
       1 X Ironfist Minister (Call to arms & Invigorate)
       1 X NCT (Pummel & +Def)
       1 X PoV (Divine Favour & Scry)
       1 X Stalwart Defender (+Def & Loyalty)
       1 X Vengeant Knight (Antagonise & Defensive Stance)
       8 Spells
       Bane Blast
       Blink
       Hammer Strike
       Instill Panic
       Might of Ironfist
       Righteous Deflection
       Stunning Repercussion
       Unobstructed View
       3 Relics
       IS Banner
       Earthshaker
       Guard Tower
       2 Equips
       Holy Blade
       Granite Bracers
       Any help with the above would be appreciated
       kind regards

       1st problem I see, is that I don't see Attendant Squire. 1x is
       Auto and 2x is reccomended in a Paladin BG. Take out Stalwart
       Defender, add in Attendant Squire.
       Northern Cross Templars upgrades in a Paladin Bg should be,
       Defense and Duel. He isnt ment to be offensive. He is meant to
       take care of those problem champs cheaply. (68 nora). Pummel is
       not needed. After all you have better Paladins for offense.
       I would also get rid of Guard Tower and add another Crusader.
       Trail Hallowed Ground is nothing to mock at. And its offensive
       capabilities are limitless..

       Id agree with above post on all points he makes,
       Also, It's down to personal preference but I prefer sapping beam
       over hammer strike :)

       thanks guys I appreciate the replies.
       Regarding AS i had ran him previously but never really found a
       place for him, I found that the Dwarven sergeant did it better
       but maybe i could drop vengeant knight for 1 X AS.
       I've changed my upgrades on NCT thanks for the suggestion.
       Going to hang onto the tower for now as working well with Blink
       Also going to keep hammerstrike for the baneblast synergy
       thanks again for the tips
       Kind regards
       Ixios

       That is a very solid bg, i don't think your prob is bg
       composition.  A couple things that could be an issue, Do you
       suffer from nora issues? It is a pricey deck and i saw no nora
       gen, may want to add a miner or nora mine in there.
       Also is doomy is very very good, ranged warcry, even warcry 1 is
       helluva op.
       Do you find you use instill panic much, i ave never used it in
       my pally bg and just wondered how it works out for you
       Cheers
       G
