The crushing conquerers

I have looked at this site's experimental chess with different amies and devised my own army. This draws inspiration from amontillado, meticulous mashers, and the fighting fizzies.

Rules

Bishop: the seer (hhBC) Halfling bishop plus crab. This piece, called the crabinal, is interesting and is a restricted version of the the cardinal but is easy to use.

Rook: the war elephant (R4A) This piece is easier to develop than a rook but is a little awkward like the war elephant in the white elephant army.

Knight: the modern war machine:(WD) moves as a wazir or dabbaba This is easy to use as an offensive piece and to sneak past pawn chains with

Queen: the Hannibal (hhQhhNN) This piece is relatively easy to use once you get used too it.

Notes

This army is based off of many epic poems and all pieces have leaping moves none of them are colorbound. So anyway this army uses lot's of differanged pieces and lacks long movers
