No...its a upgrade you can give the rank & file to increase their figth & ourage to 4.

I assume you are refering to the winged fellbeast?

You have some idea as to which hero would go with which warband? Displaying that would make it easier to give you some advice.

>Not necessarily, your latest army list has four warbands and four heroes, which is fine except that one of the heroes is a Dragon Knight and therefore cannot be attached to a warband which means you have one invalid warband.
>Furthermore you have 2 captains with bows even though you only have on warband with bows, so you end up with one of the captains with a bow in a warband without any bows (you'd be better off giving him the halberd).
>Im assuming Amdur on horse goes with the 10 katapharakts, all of whom are Black Dragons, all those black dragon upgrades waste 20 points, which instead can go towards buying an additional katapharakt (which would then raise your break point). The upgrade of courage is pointless as long as Amdur passes his courage tests, which he should and the additional weapons skill is not worth the 20 points.
>Why is one of your warbands all pikes? The soldiers directly on the front line will not benefit from the pike's rules and will be waisting points.

Heres a list which loosely follows the guidelines you set, but has the above suggestions in it.

Warband 1: (283)
>>Amdur Lord of Blades + Arm. Horse (115)
>12 Katapharakts (168)

Warband 2: (146)
>>Easterling Captain + Bow (50)
>12 Easterlings + Bows (96)

Warband 3: (162)
>>Easterling Captain + Halberd (50)
>10 Easterlings + Shields (80)
>1 Easterling Banner Bearer (32)

Warband 4: (154)
>>Easterling Captain + Halberd (50)
>8 Easterlings + Pikes + Shields (72)
>4 Easterlings + Shields (32)

Total: 745 Points

Because my captains are modelled that way, and I disagree with those 20 points being wasted. And with my dice luck they need all the help they can get.

Alright, that clears up the bow issue. And if you want to have the black dragon upgrade thats up to you, the up side to the upgrade is that you can now easily use that large block of cavalry to charge people who inspire terror before they charge you, though I would still drop the upgrades if I were you. Still it doesn't resolve the issue that you need a hero to replace your dragon knight since he can't legally lead a warband.

The Dragon Knight could be used as a Captain? Not too many people would mind?
