I've actually got a guy around here who is doing this list.

He's got:

Herald of N w/palanquin, you go last, no flanks + rear, in a unit of PBs w/poison wounds count double
Herald of N w/palanquin, you go last, no flanks + rear, in a unit of PBs w/poison wounds count double
Herald of N w/palanquin, you go last, no flanks + rear, in a unit of PBs w/poison wounds count double
GUO w/Balesword, you go last

Everyone is a level one mage. One of the Heralds is BSB, but I don't recall which banner he takes.

It's essentially a VP denial list. You march the field, crush something, and end the game having taken no damage. It works pretty well, esp. at cleaning up ordinary lists. Let them charge you, then obliterate them. It's especially devastating if they can't stop the miasma everywhere at once dependably.

I think to be more competative you'd drop the GUO char killer and make another identical unit, but I go back and forth on it. In general, I think the soft scores for having him would exceed any possible battle point gain from dropping him, and in all honesty he's quite useful at dealing with dragons and the like. Not many better char killers in the game (though Archaon sorts him out).
