Tactical Notes
The furgon can cover either flanks if/when necessary while the frosts freeze up attackers. With 5 attacking units, this form is no pushover on offense either.
(The furg in my one frost corner turt should be one tile up and one to the right...)

(2) | Sort by | Page 1I am not saying the formation principle is easy to beat, but it is a recurring weakness. Of course, I have lost to such a set too, so I am just pointing stuff out. I find that in a dropped legends grey battle, an lw just gets me into trouble. I seem to be known for advocating wardless forms (which is not too accurate) but I think with 2 frosts and a furgon, the purpose of an lw is overlapped.
An lw is supposed to deter enemy scouts, knights, and mages, and also provide as an effective barricade or an immobile unit that gives a formation structure. But a furgon can compensate for structure in a much more versatile way, and frost golems are extremely good deterrents, and can even agress. Yes, the mages are a problem, but given their frequency of use (below one or two) in a game between experienced players, the problem will not be encountered often (and you can still paralyze them if they block or something).
In exchange for the much revered LW, you get another attacking unit, I would suggest beastie, personally, which gives you additional range, and a wonderful aggressor.
